As America approaches its 250th anniversary, debates over the Constitution are everywhere.

From presidential powers and federal authority to free speech, immigration, and the role of the courts, Americans continue to argue about what the Constitution means and how it should be applied today.

In this episode, Matt sits down with constitutional scholar, legal historian, and University of Minnesota law professor Ilan Wurman, author of The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction.

Together they discuss:

• What Americans misunderstand most about the Constitution

• Originalism versus evolving constitutional interpretation

• Separation of powers and constitutional structure

• Federal versus state authority

• Why many Americans feel disconnected from government

• What the Founders might think about modern America

• Lessons from the Constitution as America approaches its 250th birthday

Whether you’re interested in constitutional law, civic education, American history, or the future of the republic, this conversation explores one of the most important questions facing the nation:

What did the Founders actually intend?

Truth isn’t partisan, it’s patriotic.

In this episode, Matt sits down with Kira Shishkin, founder and CEO of informed.now, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing modern society:

How do we stay informed without becoming overwhelmed?

As news cycles accelerate and algorithms compete for attention, many Americans are struggling to separate what matters from what simply generates clicks. Kira built informed.now around a different approach—prioritizing significance over virality and delivering concise, human-curated news designed to help people think independently.

Together, Matt and Kira discuss:

• Information overload and media fatigue

• The incentives driving modern news organizations

• Significance versus virality

• Can truly unbiased news exist?

• Human-curated news versus algorithms

• Trust, misinformation, and independent thinking

• What a better information ecosystem might look like

At its core, this conversation explores a question that affects every American:

Are our information systems helping us understand the world—or simply competing for our attention?

Listen in and decide for yourself.

Truth isn’t partisan, it’s patriotic.

Today we’re joined by Adam Swart, founder of Crowds on Demand and someone with over a decade of experience inside the world of organized demonstrations, public mobilization, media influence, and narrative shaping.

Adam has appeared across major media outlets discussing how modern protests are funded, coordinated, and increasingly shaped by messaging, incentives, and media dynamics.

But this episode became much more than just a conversation about protests.

Early in the interview, the discussion became tense as we pushed back on several fear-driven narratives surrounding artificial intelligence, governance, and the future of technology. The conversation hit a real moment of friction where disagreement became unavoidable.

And honestly… that’s what made this episode important.

Instead of turning the conversation into chaos, hostility, or personal attacks, we worked through the disagreement in real time, re-engaged the discussion, and demonstrated something that is becoming increasingly rare in modern media:

Civil discourse.

We may not have agreed on everything.

But we agreed on something bigger:

People with different perspectives must still be willing to communicate, challenge ideas constructively, ask difficult questions, and lead by example.

From there, the conversation opened up into a deep discussion about:

• Organized protests and public demonstrations

• Media narratives and perception shaping

• AI fear, governance, and accountability

• Public trust and transparency

• Incentive structures behind modern systems

• Constructive disagreement in America

• The importance of critical thinking and open dialogue

This episode is a reminder that difficult conversations do not have to become destructive conversations.

Truth isn’t partisan — it’s patriotic.
