Episode 752 - Nancy Palosi Illegally Creates Constitutional Extortion
19/12/2019 Duración: 16minLast night the Democrats, all by themselves, voted to impeach the President of the United States. The Articles of Impeachment is now being held through extortion by Nancy Pelosi. This is unconstitutional, not allowing the accused to a fair trial. Not allowing the documents to go to the United States Senate that has the final say on the fate of any impeachment - per the Constitution. So Nancy is holding the documents of Impeachment hostage. An illegal act by a member of Congress, the Speaker of the House. She should be held in Contempt of the Constitution and the Senate. Stop playing games with the American people, we now see just how evil and corrupt the Democrats are, they should never be in a government position in Congress or the Senate. Our Constitution is being held hostage. Americans, no matter what you are politically, this has got to stop. This harms the nation and the laws of the United States. Call your members of Congress today. Demand that they stop their Speaker and defend the Constit

Episode 751 - Understanding Impeachment Day In Congress
18/12/2019 Duración: 25minSo Congress is about to vote on two articles of impeachment that have no legal standing. But they will vote, it goes over to the Senate where it will probably be dismissed, based on no legal grounds to impeach. But the nation is put through this impeachment that has worn them out. We have heard so much spin, sinning of nonsense, instead of showing constitutional legal grounds of a crime being committed. Political hate is not a good argument. Let's get this over with and move on. We need to get things done in the United States, put the hate to the side and do their job. Enough.If you have a comment send me a text to 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 750 - Americans Are Impeachment Fatigued
17/12/2019 Duración: 27minThis morning I have been listening to the Congress debate on how to debate in Congress on the impeachment. Then I listened to people who are fed up with the whole process. Those in support of Trump don't trust the Democrats and the Republicans. They are being attacked with comments from bloggers, internet programs, Fox, CNN, commentators, analysts, about this impeachment. I can hear in the voices that they are so frustrated that it has caused mental and health issues. It is time for this to end. The only option that Americans have is to vote out and clean the Congress. Enough of impeachment upon more impeachment. Is the President being set up by even his own party. These questions are going through the minds and hearts of the American people. One lady said she is only going to listen to the President, she is shutting off everything else, just so she can keep her mind clear of everything else. Perhaps it is time for Americans to step back, take a deep breath, and only focus on cleaning out the Congr

Episode 749 - Getting Better At Story Telling
17/12/2019 Duración: 17minAll of us have a good story to tell, but we just have not learned how to do it. In business a good story builds your business. Your financial statements tell a story, and you have to know how to tell that story. In my line of work of business mediation, I need to hear good stories from two disputing parties. A story tells me what is going on. However, even myself, I have a struggle of telling a story. Every single day I listen to people that tell stories professionally and I learn from them. Ted Talks is a good source. They even have a book out that tells you how to tell your story. Sometimes, in business, we tend to rely on other people to tell our story. As a business owner you need to know how to tell your story. This is a process that will help you in so many ways. For 2020, let's commit to telling our story and study the process.If you have any questions, or want to tell your story, send me a text to 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 741 - Holding Nancy Pelosi Accountable of Abuse of Power
07/12/2019 Duración: 22minNancy Pelosi is guilty of trying to conduct a coup. She has overstepped the rule of law and the Constitution to impeach, to overthrow a legal president based on nothing. A coup is defined as an illegal seizure of power from a government. "He was overthrown". Treason is a betrayal of trust. In a legal sense, the term refers to the commission of overt acts to overthrow one's own government. A betrayal of trust or confidence, a breach of faith, treachery. A violation of one's allegiance to one's government or President. She has committed an abuse of power. A misuse of power by someone or group in a position of authority who can use the leverage they have to oppress persons in an interior position or to induce them to commit a wrongful act. She is pushing through impeachment, based on no illegal act or evidence, to make Congress overthrow a President. This is wrong and really falls under treason and a coup. Going against the American people who voted for this president and trying to throw him out of of

Episode 737 - The Judicial Impeachment Process of Nonsense
04/12/2019 Duración: 17minIf you watched the impeachment hearing today in the Judicial Committee, Americans should be concerned about what is being taught in law school on the Constitution. There was so much political bias and hate shown by three of the legal professors. Political bias and hate has no part in constitutional issues. Americans should be very concerned in what law professors views on the constitution and how it protects the American people in our legal system. Today's hearing was worthless. Americans should be concerned with this very unjust impeachment process being endorsed and pushed by the Democrats.If you have any comments, send me a text to 818.252.5682 www.lodge-co.com

Episode 735 - The Judiciary Hearings on Political Impeachment
04/12/2019 Duración: 17minToday the Judiciary committee will start to listen to testimony and reading the Schiff version on impeachment. Again, do not listen to the media. Be independent and only ask the question - is their argument based on the constitution and the rule of law - or is it just political arguments. We have been had before on the media telling us what is going on. Even Fox news is bad at it.. The only political candidate the Democrats have is Impeachment. They know they have no way to win against Trump in the elections, so they are using impeachment to put black marks against the President. That is their only goal is to sling mud and damage the President. Listen to the arguments and cross examinations, the media will spin it towards their agenda, not the facts.

Episode 734 - Democrats Only Presidential Candidate - IMPEACHMENT
03/12/2019 Duración: 33minThe Democrats are in trouble. They have no candidate that has a vision or a plan that works for America. A more tax, free stuff, high debt, healthcare to illegal aliens, Americans that live between New York and California, don't want higher taxes, they are concerned about their families, jobs, housing, communities. They don't want to pay for everyone else when they are trying to live. So the only candidate the Democrats have is - Impeachment. Americans want work to be done by Congress, they have no desire to impeach. Forget the polls, turn off Fox, CNN and all of the other new outlets, they are pushing their own agenda. Not American agenda. Listen very carefully to the impeachment hearings, the only question we should be asking as Americans - is it constitutional? Have they proven a crime? Has the President been protected by the constitution or is he being attacked by politics alone. It all boils down to the constitution and the legality of a crime. That is it, and we are the jury, we decide throu
