In Episode 61, the last of 2025, I sit down with Tanner Haas, founder and CEO of FreedomChat, a secure messaging app built around privacy, personal liberty, and the spirit of 1776. We talk about why private communication still matters, how our Founding Fathers would look at the digital world today, and what it means to protect your family, your ideas, and your freedom in an always online world.We cover how FreedomChat works, why big tech and data collection have changed the way we think about speech, and how regular people can take simple steps to regain control of their digital lives. If you care about faith, freedom, and the future your kids will inherit, this conversation is for you.In this 45 minute interview, we discuss:• Why Tanner created FreedomChat• The quote behind the app: "It's not that I have anything to hide, I have something to protect."• Parallels between secure messaging and secret committees and letters in the American Revolution• Modern threats to privacy and free speech• How FreedomChat keeps conversations secure• What digital freedom could look like for the next generationLinks:FreedomChat: www.FreedomChat.comSearch for "PatriotPower" and follow our FreedomChat channel.Podcast:PatriotPowerPodcast.comListen, share, and join the conversation about modern liberty and digital privacy.

America isn’t a democracy — and the Founders never intended it to be. In this video, we break down exactly why the United States was designed as a constitutional republic, what Benjamin Franklin meant when he warned “A republic… if you can keep it,” and how the media, schools, and politicians have blurred this essential distinction.

You’ll learn:

• The real meaning of a republic

• Why the Founding Fathers rejected pure democracy

• The dangers the Founders warned us about

• How we’ve drifted from their original design

• Why this difference matters more today than ever
