Politics By Faith w/Mike Slater

In the court of law, we are told to tell the "truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth". You won't see that tonight in Kamal's first interview from Kamala, Dana Bash or the CNN editing team.

Attacking doesn't work. Talking policy alone isn't enough. We need to talk policy to tell a story of who Kamala is as a commander-in-chief. We need to tell a story. And tell it boldly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

RFJ Jr's dad implored him to read The Plague by Albert Camus. This book motivated RFK Jr to continue on his mission, despite his family's objections. We can be inspired by that, but no one is better than Paul when he said “None of these things move me.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The first amendment comes first for a reason. America's founders understood the value of free speech, which is now under attack both in the United States and abroad. In the past decade, Democrats have wished for the government and private companies to silence political dissent. Elon Musk buying X was a blow to the censorship complex, but the fight remains. Want to get an idea of what can happen without free speech? Look no further than the United Kingdom, where Tommy Robinson has learned first-hand what it's like to be silenced. Robinson is Mike Slater's guest on this exclusive special, as is Jeffrey A. Tucker of the Brownstone Institute.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A famous line from Ben Shapiro is "Facts don't care about your feelings." I disagree. I wish it were that easy to convince people of the truth. If only we could just share the facts and voila, we win. The reality is; feelings matter. And this is fine.

Someone called in and asked how to strike up political conversations with people. Another caller had great advice, "Just put the ball in play." I've been thinking about that all day.

Someone called in today on the radio show and was spouting nonsense. Another listener said this person is who we used to call a "bleeding heart liberal." Where did that term come from? Once I learned its origin, I think it's something we should reclaim as our own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I have a test and a challenge this week. If, when you see a clip of the Convention and feel anxious or angry, if we can all do this one thing, we will be so much better off. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have made it their mission to wage war on the United States Supreme Court following a series of decisions they disagreed with.

Tim Walz keeps talking about a Golden Rule. First, there is only ONE Golden Rule. It's THE Golden Rule, not one of many. But then, he doesn't even quote it right. Be watchful of insidious lies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
