On today’s Radio Ranch Friday edition, I’m joined by Brent Allen Winters for a wide‑ranging, spirited conversation on law, power, and first principles. We dig into grand juries, corporate personhood, and the tug‑of‑war between the “law of the land” and the “law of the city,” with forays through history—from Jefferson, Washington, and the Barbary Wars to Bismarck, Wilson, and the Declaration of 1776. Along the way we debate present‑day legal and geopolitical claims, the role of grand juries and prosecutors, and what it really means to honor authority, oaths, and ordered liberty. Listeners jump in with sharp questions on Virginia politics, oil, sea lanes, and the Middle East, prompting frank exchanges about prudence, precedent, and responsibility. We close by pointing you to Brent’s ongoing work and where to find our streams and archives so you can keep the discussion going with us live.Global Voice Radio Network (streams/archives): https://globalvoiceradio.netCommon Lawyer (Brent Allen Winters): https://commonlawyer.comDeclaration of Independence (U.S. National Archives): https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declarationFederalist No. 10 (James Madison, Yale Avalon Project): https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed10.aspBarbary Wars overview (U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command): https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/wars-conflicts-and-operations/barbary-wars.htmlUSS Constitution Museum: https://ussconstitutionmuseum.orgCode of Justinian (Encyclopaedia Britannica): https://www.britannica.com/topic/Code-of-JustinianNapoleonic Code (Encyclopaedia Britannica): https://www.britannica.com/topic/Napoleonic-CodeBand of Brothers (HBO series referenced re: Dick Winters): https://www.hbo.com/series/band-of-brothers
