Ep 1293 | Ron Simmons | Can Trump Use the Insurrection Act Against Minnesota Mayhem?
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Primary Strategy: Pick Winnable Candidates
Ron advises choosing primary candidates who share values and can realistically win general elections rather than idealists.
Allie’s dad, Ron Simmons, hosts this Saturday’s episode of “Relatable,” breaking down the week’s biggest stories with fatherly wisdom and calm clarity. He explores the Insurrection Act’s history — from George Washington’s Whiskey Rebellion response to its use by Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Kennedy — explaining why President Trump’s potential invocation to protect ICE officers amid escalating Minnesota violence is legally justified and precedented. Ron contrasts Democrats' outrage now with their past calls to remove Maduro, highlights the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Good, and addresses fraud, sanctuary policies, and lawlessness. He answers listener questions on faith, family, voting, housing, and more — plus his “Words from the Wagon” life lesson. Direct, grounded, and hopeful.Email your questions to Ron at ron@ronsimmons.com.Buy Ron's book "Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon": https://shop.blazemedia.com/products/life-lessons-from-the-little-red-wagonBuy Allie's book "Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion": https://www.toxicempathy.com---Timecodes:0:00 - Introduction1:58 - The History of the Insurrection Act20:00 - Why Voting Matters30:50 - One-Year Review of Trump's 2nd Term42:57 - Viewer Q&A---Sponsors:Good Ranchers | To support a company that’s committed to honoring America’s past, present, and future, visit GoodRanchers.com today.
