The Alan Sanders Show

In this episode, I examine several current news stories through the prism of a misnomer – that perception is reality. That's not true, nor has it ever been. Perception causes a belief in a reality, but it is false. The misconception is created in a person's mind, but that does make it a fact. I start by quoting a school board member for the Montgomery County Public Schools in Rockville, MD. With t...

In this episode, we have to open with the notion that this administration entered office touting the notion, "The adults are back in charge." Well, based on the first year's accomplishments (and I use that term sparingly), if this is what adults do, I'd rather have the others back in charge. Let's be honest for a moment, calling themselves adults was more a slap at the Trump administration than ma...

In this episode, I open with the start of Russia's incursion into Ukraine. There is no way to avoid the headlines, but we need to temper the fear. At this point, I don't see how this leads to WWIII. There is no treaty between NATO and Ukraine. There is no obligation for our country or any other NATO country to rush to the physical defense of Ukraine. As harsh as that sounds, it's the truth. What w...

In this episode, I decide to address a little bit of the Ukraine situation. First, I take a moment to go over the geography of the region and remind the audience of the old USSR. Some of those Republics still feel ties to Mother Russia while others wanted to become more like Western civilizations. Vladimir Putin, we must remember, grew up in the heyday of Soviet might! He has always believed it wa...

In this episode, I open with a reminder of how a ruling party can rise to an autocratic regime. The steps are relatively simple. First, you declare your opposition as an enemy. This can be done by vilifying them via labeling along with the assistance of a complicit legacy media. With the narrative established and propaganda in place, it's time to manufacture a crisis. The crisis pits your enemies...

In this episode, I open with an example of how one of the oldest mainstream media outlets, the New York Times, decides whether or not your protest is acceptable. It's not about breaking laws or infringing on rights. Nope. Instead, it's whether or not your protest aligns with their political views. This goes along with what I mentioned in a previous show about how liberals are not driven by core pr...

In this episode, it has become apparent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau envies dictatorships. Look at what has happened in Canada in just over three weeks since a convoy of over 50,000 truckers decided to rise up as free citizens to protest the actions of their government. While the administration is giddy with their new-found powers to oppress, thanks to invoking the Emergencies Act, the Canadian C...

In this episode, we remember the anniversary of the passing of a radio icon, Rush Limbaugh. When I was young and thought I knew everything, I didn't like Rush. He irritated me because he was so sure of himself. He acted like he had all the answers. How could that be when it was obvious that I had all the answers. Well, as with most of us, life has a way of knocking us down a few pegs. I started to...

In this episode, I continue to examine the fallout of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's actions in invoking the Emergencies Act. In an attempt to appear strong and determined, he has instead painted himself as a divisive tyrant throwing a temper tantrum. A day after the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland, made it known that banks and financial institutions were now empowered to freeze...

In this episode, I open with more astounding details from the recent court filing by Special Counsel John Durham. For a political opponent from any party to feel justified in weaponizing various agencies to not only spy, but also to squash opposition should shake all Americans to our core. When radical Leftists acquire power, we are seeing just how far they are willing to go to get or remain in po...

In this episode, I discuss the biggest news story the Legacy media chose to ignore this past weekend. Even though President Trump has been out of office for over a year and it's been almost 6 years since the start of the Russia-hoax scandal, Special Counsel John Durham is still conducting his investigation. Yes, it seems like this is taking far too long. After all, we've all known the Russian ties...

In this episode, I remind everyone that based on the newest language published by the Department of Homeland Security, I am likely listed as a domestic terrorist. According to them, anyone who goes online to spread mis- dis- or mal- information can sow discord or undermine the public trust in U.S. government institutions. Basically, we are to bow at the alter of government and if we disagree with...

In this episode, I open with the January inflation numbers just announced at 7.5%. Not since 1982 have we had inflation this high. It continues to track worse over the coming months and was much higher than Wall Street expectations. It shows the policies of the Joe Biden administration are fundamentally hurting just about all Americans with the rising cost of goods. We are seeing the result of pol...

In this episode, I open with the unbelievable metamorphosis science has undergone in the last few days. Masks no longer work, kids do not need to wear them in school, mandates are not necessary and life should go back to normal. What an amazing turnaround! As Dr. Leana Wen stated on CNN, "The science has changed!" I'm sorry, but something may have changed, but it's not the science. Science is the...

In this episode, I implore Joe Rogan to stop apologizing to the Left. I know, in his heart, he feels he's doing the right thing. He wants to acknowledge his missteps or failings because he respects his audience. But, his audience aren't the ones trying to cancel him. He has to realize, the ones going after him are not going to stop until he has been made to submit to their will. They are not going...

In this episode, I once again need to point out the real issues behind the orchestrated move by radical Leftists and the legacy media to deplatform Joe Rogan. It has nothing to do with content, guests or a host who lacks credentials. It's about jealousy. CNN, at their best, might average 750,000 watchers for their shows. Joe Rogan has 11 million. And, many of his episodes can be upwards of 40-50 m...

In this episode I open wondering how Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer could make such an egregious mistake. In an attempt to pander to his base and to support President Biden's desire for a black woman nominee to the Supreme Court, he forgets the name Thurgood Marshall. Senator Schumer spoke on the Senate floor and said the SCOTUS has been all white men until 1981. Thurgood Marshall was appoi...

In this episode, I spend some time discussing the nature of limiting information. It is so easy to fall into the altruistic trap of saying, nothing should be uttered unless it's true. There should be no sources of misinformation or disinformation. On the surface, it sounds like a wonderful concept, but in reality, it's a dangerous path. If we really buy into the notion of canceling anyone or anyth...

In this episode, I continue to look at the firestorm Whoopi Goldberg has created around herself by saying the Holocaust was not about race. She tried to explain herself on the Stephen Colbert Show. It was a lame attempt at an apology. Her excuse? When she thinks about "race" she thinks of it from a black perspective. And therein lies the problem. Critical race theory, specifically as used in Ameri...

In this episode, I find it ironic that as far as the Left and leaders in public health are concerned, it's only misinformation if they say it is. I open with Whoopi Goldberg openly telling her audience that the Holocaust was not about race! That is factually and patently false, yet she still said it and believed it. Was she guilty of spreading misinformation? What about Dr. Fauci? Dr. Rochelle Wal...

In this episode, I wonder when did anti-establishment become the establishment? When did the hippies of the 60's and 70's, who made their fortunes on being anti-government, anti-big business, anti-censorship -- basically anti-establishment, decide they are now part of the establishment? It's something I cannot wrap my mind around. But first, I open todays' show with the stupidity of cloth masks, e...

In this episode, I break away (mostly) from the news of the day to talk about the passing of my father-in-law. Life is not all rainbows and unicorns. Adversity hits, often when least expected. What had been booked as a travel weekend for my wife to fly to her dad's is now a flight for his funeral. I will have a few minutes to speak at his funeral, but I wanted to say more and so I am using today's...

In this episode, I weave together several current events stories with a common strand running through them all. Leftist leaders and unhinged victims of the current mass psychosis are laser-focused on making sure The Ministry of Truth draws near. They want to censor anything that does not meet with their preapproval. They do not want debate. They do not want people to have access to conflicting inf...

In this episode, I remind everyone about yesterday's topic covering virtue signaling. It makes for a perfect lead-in to today's discussion, where the Biden administration is acting like a petulant child in punishing the state of Florida. Yes, Biden's petulant move to punish Governor Ron DeSantis reveals just how weak and feckless this President is. Florida has not gone along with Federal mandates....

In this episode, I start off explaining the problem with virtue signaling. First, it's almost never about being honest to your core. It does not reflect truth. What it does is allow someone to utter some platitude that is politically expedient, while trying to look virtuous about it. Since it's only about political expediency, your "truth" is bound to reverse itself when it's more advantageous to...
