Morgan Zegers and co-host Connor Clegg, discuss Federalist Paper 29, “Concerning the Militia.” While previous papers covered the role of a standing army, Hamilton’s Paper 29 focuses on the importance of having a federally controlled, standardized system of expectations for all state militias. Connor and Morgan point out that top-down regulation of these militias would ensure that all states across the country, regardless of size or population, have equality of force.  Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them! #TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers

Co-host Connor Clegg returns this week with Morgan Zegers to continue the conversation about restraining the government’s authority. A timely topic of discussion, Connor and Morgan relate the new Governance Disinformation Board to Anti-Federalist concerns of federal tyranny.  In Federalist Paper 28, Hamilton explains that while he understands the concerns of potential unchecked tyranny, federal power is necessary to protect the nation as a whole and individual states from oppressive local leadership.   Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them! #TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers

Morgan Zegers is joined by Turning Point Ambassador, Micah Bock, to discuss how the legislature vested a significant amount of its powers to the executive branch. Our founders never envisioned additional executive arms of the government within three-letter bureaucratic agencies with potential to utilize force similar to that of the military. Hamilton believed that the people’s confidence and obedience to the government would largely depend on the goodness or badness of the administration. Morgan and Micah disagree with his belief, faulting the current divisive two-party system where simply doing a good job is no longer enough to avoid criticism.

This week, Jack Posobiec joins Morgan Zegers to discuss the founding father's original intent and how America has continued to gradually veer further away from those core ideals and principles.  Jack explains how President Woodrow Wilson, scientific theories, and Social Darwinism have led to our current system of government and the ever-growing administrative state. Morgan and Jack determine how future political candidates and everyday Americans could get the United States back on the right path through the championing of our founding documents.

Professor Scott Yenor joins Morgan Zegers to discuss the specific roles of parents in the keeping of our society and promoting family values. In this week’s episode, Morgan and Scott explore the idea of an enlightened and vigilant public to restrain government overreach.  Scott explains how our culture and society have pushed the idea of “capstone” marriages, where both men and women are encouraged to prioritize their careers as individuals before marriage and family planning.  Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them! #TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers

In Federalist Paper No. 26, “The Idea of Restraining the Legislative Authority in Regards to the Common Defense Considered,” Hamilton advocates for the government to have unrestricted power to organize and maintain a standing army.  Disagreeing with some of Hamilton’s thoughts in this paper, Morgan Zegers asks the question – where do we draw the line between giving up freedom and liberty in exchange for security through the government? And is the risk of having a standing army greater than the risk of not having one?  Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them! #TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers

This week, Morgan Zegers continues the conversation about common defense with Hamilton's Federalist Paper No. 25. The Anti-federalists feared the unlimited power a federal government would have with a standing army and instead felt that each state should provide for its own defense. In this same subject continued, Hamilton resumes making a case for the Federalist view, expressing concern for the inner conflict that could occur if each state had an army, and the disproportionate burden on more geographically vulnerable states.

Morgan Zegers is joined by co-host Connor Clegg to discuss Hamilton's "The Powers Necessary to the Common Defense Further Considered." Federalist Paper No. 24 directly argues against the anti-federalists, who feared the federal government would have too much power, inevitably turning against their own people.  In particular, the anti-federalist's main concern was the federalist's desire for a large standing army. While the federalists felt this would be necessary to ensure defense from foreign invaders, the anti-federalists feared oppressive centralized power.  Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them! #TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers

Connor Clegg joins Morgan Zegers to evaluate Federalist Paper No. 23, written by Hamilton. Titled “The Necessity of a Government as Energetic as the One Proposed to Preservation of the Union,” Hamilton expresses the need for the federal government to have unrestricted power to provide for the common defense. The founders believed that the three branches of government, with their checks and balances in place, would allow it to effectively protect the nation while simultaneously restricting its ability to repress the people.  Join Morgan Zegers weekly on Freedom Papers for a conversation that focuses on the necessity of America's most important manuscripts and the debates surrounding them! #TaxationIsTheft #FreedomPapers #iHeartAmerica #BigGovSucks #FederalistPapers
