On today’s Saturday Radio Ranch (May 2), we caught up on syndication and tech housekeeping, took live calls, and dug into the big issues listeners keep asking about: the history and mechanics of the federal income tax, affidavits and “U.S. national” status, and why courts and contracts matter more than slogans. We compared excise and sales taxes, fielded practical questions about using LLCs and staying compliant on sales tax, and talked through private association options. We also ranged across current affairs—from Middle East escalations to U.S. politics—and how narratives shape public consent. In the second hour listeners led a rapid‑fire clinic: investment positioning and liquidity (Edward Dowd’s cash/T‑bill view), inflation’s winners and losers, drones painting high‑rises, seasonal “lovebugs,” and a long, useful health segment on gallbladders, kidney stones, and enzyme support. We welcomed a first‑time caller from Montana who shared his three‑year journey post‑affidavit, and we closed with how to join us live during the week and where to find our archives.
