Our guest this week, investigative journalist Leo Hohmann, asks the question Why is the Trump administration supporting Biden’s Orwellian kill switches on all our automobiles as of 2026?  Hohmann further comments that Trump’s advancement of a digital surveillance state is coming at us from all angles.A couple of weeks ago, 57 Republican members of Congress joined Democrats in voting down an amendment that would have cancelled the mandatory kill switch portion of the Biden bill.  The original pro-kill switch bill was drawing backlash from conservatives like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.From alternative energy programs to AI, elites have been at the forefront of promoting boondoggle programs that enrich the few powerful members at the expense of normal, freedom-loving persons everywhere.  If it makes money and increases control of populations and cultures, it is embraced by those who would be masters of us all.For a continued analysis of the political implications of Trump’s support of the surveillance state, read Leo Hohmann’s Substack article “Why is the Trump administration supporting Biden’s Orwellian mandatory kill switches on all new automobiles?Leo Hohmann has been a tireless and dedicated defender of freedom in America. Support him and his work.
