The Jefferson Inauguration… Much Different From Obama’s

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Things were a little different when Thomas Jefferson became president of the United States... there was no motorcade with limos, no 10-inch thick bulletproof glass, no Beyoncé singing the national anthem, not even any microphones.

With Great Power Comes Great Executive Orders

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - We know that Obama is a huge Spider-Man fan, but maybe he's taking the phrase "with great power, comes great responsibility" a little too far.

White House Responds to Secession Petitions… and It’s About What You’d Expect

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - We were told on November 7th or 8th when these petitions first hit the WhiteHouse.gov website, that these were just temper tantrums from sore losers who would move on.

Get Ready for a “Gun Safety Agency”

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - On today's Founders Television show Mike discusses the differences between the phrases "Gun Control" and "Gun Safety".
