On today’s Monday Radio Ranch (February 9, 2026), we kicked off the week recapping a “bread and circuses” weekend: reactions to the Super Bowl, the halftime controversy, and the end of football season until late summer, plus early highlights from the Winter Olympics figure skating. We also talked shop about our live broadcast setup and multi‑board audio routing before opening the lines to a wide‑ranging caller discussion. Listeners weighed in on media and culture, and we spent considerable time on law-and-civics topics: Bouvier’s vs. Black’s Law Dictionary and how changing legal definitions shape modern court practice; practical experiences some listeners have had with federal forms (W‑8BEN, 1040‑NR) and code sections; and why going back to first principles, maxims of law, and constitutional foundations still matters. We closed with programming notes on where to listen and how to join the live conversation during the week. 'Rumble' (platform mentioned): https://rumble.com 'Twitch' (platform mentioned): https://www.twitch.tv 'DLive' (platform mentioned): https://dlive.tv 'Turning Point USA' (referenced): https://www.tpusa.com 'Kid Rock' (referenced): https://kidrock.com 'Truth Social' (referenced): https://truthsocial.com 'Olympics (official)' (referenced): https://olympics.com 'Green Bay Packers' (referenced): https://www.packers.com 'Bouvier’s Law Dictionary (1856 edition, online text)' (discussed): https://lonang.com/library/reference/bouvier/ 'Black’s Law Dictionary (publisher page)' (discussed): https://legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/blacks-law-dictionary 'IRS Form W‑8BEN (About/Download)' (discussed): https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-8-ben 'IRS Form 1040‑NR (About/Download)' (discussed): https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040-nr '26 CFR § 301.6109‑1 — Identifying numbers (eCFR)' (discussed): https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-26/part-301/section-301.6109-1 '26 U.S.C. § 873 — Deductions allowed to nonresident alien individuals' (discussed): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/873 '22 CFR § 51.1 — Definition of terms (U.S. passports)' (discussed): https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-F/part-51/section-51.1 '8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(21) — National' (discussed): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1101#a_21 '26 U.S.C. § 3401 — Definitions (withholding)' (discussed):
