We cover a multitude of current events that made this week so unusually memorable.

The SBA (Small Business Administration) was created in 1953, with the intent of providing loans to small businesses (of which there are an estimated 3.4 million these days), and also to give Small Businesses the opportunity to bid on and get Contracts with the different Federal Government Agencies (of which there are far more than the Founding Fathers intended).

Whereas common sense should place the maximum number of employees at somewhere under 100 in order to be considered "small", the actual number used these days became the standard benchmark.

We spoke with Bruce De Torres, Director of Communications for the American Small Business League (https://asbl.com/).

Bruce also hosts the American Small Business Podcast

Bruce is also deeply involved with Don't Cheat Women, which is designed to help women navigate the SBA maze, and generally offer assistance for women looking to start their own business. That websithttps://www.dontcheatwomen.com/

Bruce joins us to speak about how the SBA has veered from its original intent, and how most of its loans are made to large corporations/businesses, and that, while Small Businesses are supposed to get a higher percentage of government contracts, it is indeed LARGE businesses (or their smaller but affiliated/owned companies that get the lion's share of these contracts. He also speaks about how women are still being shortchanged and why Don't Cheat Women exists.

We get into the Digitalization of IDs and Currency; how the Federal Bureaucrats are mismanaging the SBA; the Phony Pandemic and its attack on Small Business and the Middle Class; and lots more.

On our first Episode of 2026:

Michael Letts returns to the podcast to discuss the capture of drug kingpin and Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, and the ramifications that will have on our enemies, and even on our own country.

It looks as though the Swamp is dirtier and more Infested than anyone thought, and the Corruption of our Congress involves hundreds - in both Parties. (though Democrats have a somewhat larger edge).

We started off by discussing January 6th and the Insurrection That Never Was, and then the January 6th Committee, a group of Traitors who ended up condemning Patriots who had gone to DC to air their grievances - as specifically permitted by our Constitution - but who were pushed into rioting by over 250 embedded FBI agitators and unwarranted tear gas and rubber bullet attacks by Capitol Police, sparking the violent response that followed. That effectively stopped the crowd from doing what it had gathered for: to STOP the Certification of the "election" of Joe Biden until such time as an Investigation could be competed to determine the validity of the election results.

He also points out that the Committee refused to call the man who had been head of the Capitol Police the day of the riot, because he had been sacked fired rom his position for stating publicly that he had requested National Guard reinforcements be deployed before the Demonstration, but that Pelosi and the DC Police Chief denied his request...

We talked a little about Michael Letts' current passion, INVESTUSA.ORG, a 501C-3 Charity he heads, which provides bulletproof vests for police (and now firemen) across the country, through public donations.

Letts then reveals that he has seen a list captured along with Maduro, basically a record of corrupt American Officials on Maduro's "payroll", and while he is waiting for official verification before releasing any names, he does state that of the 535 members of Congress (both houses), well over 400 of them are implicated in Venezuelan-based the corruption, and that the Administration and the DOJ will be digging deeper into this rampant corruption, probably releasing names over a period of time, rather then all at once, so as not to cause total Chaos in our government...

He also agreed with my assessment that every House and Senate seat should be primaried once names are released, so as to rid our government of this Corruption which has been bankrupting and sabotaging the nation.

Letts also talks about the distinct possibility of Military Tribunals being convened, how we now have proof that Venezuela interfered in elections in 73 countries around the world...and that the election of 2020 was indeed rigged - by Venezuela.

You'll be amazed at the information we cover in this episode, and appalled at their implications.

Including the fact that a well-known Democrat Fundraising group will be revealed as a money laundering operation.

A Reckoning is coming in 2026.

On this, our last Podcast of 2025:

White House Correspondent and Independent Journalist Corrine Clifford joins us for a long chat about the Deep State and what it is doing to our country. She talks about the true victims of the insidiousness of the Left, and how Justice has yet to be served to those responsible for defiling ourConstitution and undermining President Trump’s attempt to Make America Great Again.

Corrine is one of the many homeowners who lost their home in the Pacific Palisades fire, and verifies that firemen were close by – but did little to even attempt to fight the fire, which lasted four days. She ask questions about why nearby ocean water was not used, both in the Palisades and in Malibu; why certain equipment was not available to the firefighters; she speaks about why California has corrupted the Grand Jury System to use it for Lawfare.

She also talks about January 6th and of the J6 PoliticalPrisoners, and of the dozen or so who have not been pardoned by President Trump. She also brings up Tina Peters, the 70 year old whistleblower who is languishing in jail for having told the truth about election fraud she uncovered...and more.

Introduction: In a world increasingly divided by political ideologies, understanding the motivations behind our beliefs can be both enlightening and empowering. In a recent podcast episode, author and publicist Drew Allen delves into pressing current events, including the controversial assassination of Charlie Kirk, and shares invaluable insights on courage, faith, and the importance of speaking out.

Main Content:

1. The Impact of Charlie Kirk's Legacy

Drew Allen's latest book, "For Christ in Country: The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk," serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by conservative voices in today’s society. Kirk’s untimely death has sparked debates surrounding political rhetoric and the consequences of dehumanization in political discourse. Drew emphasizes that Kirk’s fearlessness and dedication to truth were foundational to his influence, stating, "He relished debates because he studied these issues rigorously."

2. The Reaction to Political Violence

The discussion takes a turn toward the reactions to violence in politics, particularly focusing on comments made by former President Trump regarding the assassination of Rob Reiner. Drew argues that the left often lacks moral authority to condemn such comments, given their own historical rhetoric celebrating violence against conservatives. He asserts, "The militant trans movement is out there killing kids," highlighting the need for accountability in political speech.

3. Drew's Journey into Public Relations

Drew shares his unique journey from an actor in New York City to becoming a prominent publicist for conservative figures. His experiences have shaped his perspectives, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he found himself at odds with many of his left-leaning friends. This experience ignited a passion for writing and political engagement, eventually leading him to work with notable figures such as Tulsi Gabbard and Dr. Ben Carson.

4. The Role of Courage and Faith

Throughout the podcast, Drew emphasizes the importance of courage in the face of adversity. He draws inspiration from Charlie Kirk’s life and the way his faith and conviction allowed him to navigate hostile environments. Drew reflects, "Losing friends during the COVID lockdowns pushed me to be more courageous in my beliefs," demonstrating how personal experiences can fuel a deeper commitment to one’s values.

Conclusion: In a time when political discourse is fraught with division and hostility, Drew Allen’s insights remind us of the importance of courage and conviction. By examining the legacy of Charlie Kirk, we can learn to articulate our beliefs fearlessly and authentically. Key takeaways from this podcast include the necessity of accountability in political rhetoric, the transformative power of personal experiences, and the importance of studying issues deeply to engage effectively in debates.

The New American Magazine: Insights from Behind the Scenes with Steve Bonta

Introduction: In this episode of The View From Here, we dive deep into the workings of The New American Magazine with its publisher, Steve Bonta. With a rich background in linguistics and a passion for constitutional freedoms, Bonta shares his journey from a liberal upbringing to becoming a staunch advocate for American values.

1. **Steve Bonta’s Role at The New American**

Steve Bonta describes his multifaceted role at The New American Magazine, where he oversees everything from editing to recruitment of new writers. As the publisher, he emphasizes the magazine's commitment to quality and depth in its reporting. He proudly refers to The New American as the "red pill publication of record," indicating its mission to provide unfiltered truth about national and global issues. The magazine transitioned from a bi-weekly to a monthly publication but continues to deliver in-depth analyses on pressing topics, such as the influence of the United Nations and the moral fabric of American society.

2. **The Importance of Freedom**

Bonta articulates the magazine's motto, "freedom shall not perish," encapsulating its focus on spiritual, economic, and political freedoms. He passionately discusses the threats to these freedoms, particularly from globalist agendas. His commitment to holding leaders accountable to the U.S. Constitution forms the backbone of the publication’s philosophy and reporting.

3. **Education and Background**

With a PhD in Linguistics from Cornell University, Bonta brings a wealth of knowledge to his work. His educational journey has taken him across the globe, living in various countries and immersing himself in diverse cultures and languages. This background not only enriches his perspective but also informs his critical analysis of global issues.

4. **The Shift in Global Power Dynamics**

Bonta reflects on the evolution of the UN's role since its inception, arguing that it was always intended to be a stepping stone towards global governance. He discusses how contemporary issues, particularly climate change, have shifted the Overton window, making once-ridiculed ideas mainstream. Bonta notes that the radical climate agenda has now become a vehicle for undermining national sovereignty and promoting a new world order.

5. **The Dangers of World War III**

In a gripping discussion, Bonta warns about the potential repercussions of a third world war, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He argues that such a global catastrophe could lead to a significant restructuring of international governance, pushing nations toward surrendering their independence in favor of a unified global authority. This chilling perspective prompts listeners to consider the broader implications of geopolitical conflicts beyond immediate military concerns.

Conclusion: Steve Bonta's insights into The New American Magazine reveal a publication deeply committed to preserving American freedoms and values. As global tensions rise, understanding the interplay of national interests and international governance becomes increasingly crucial. The New American serves as a vital resource for those seeking clarity in an ever-complex world.

- The New American Magazine focuses on in-depth analysis of key issues impacting America and the world.

- Freedom is a central theme, emphasizing the importance of constitutional rights and moral standards.

- Bonta’s educational background and global experiences shape his analytical approach to current events.

- The UN's role has shifted, with climate change agendas being utilized to promote global governance.

- The potential for World War III presents serious risks for national sovereignty and individual freedoms.
