Segment Topic:
While Republicans and Democrats spent 2024 engaged in the quadrennial intrigues of presidential politics, the scholars at the Boston-based Pioneer Institute were busy working on something else:
A 100-day blueprint to return America to its constitutional roots!
Entitled: Restoring the Republic, co-authored by Adam Milsap, Emmett McGroarty and Charles Keckler, this new report identifies the risks of forsaking Washington’s constitutional structure, and offers solid recommendations for realigning the federal government and its bureaucratic agencies with the Constitution.
- Emmett McGroarty joined us last month. How has the priority for Trump’s Executive Orders changed since last month? Charles Keckler, another author of Restoring the Republic lays-out Trumps priorities for his Executive Orders.
- Can Executive Orders and not legislation save the Republic?
There’s a lot of work for any president in the early days of a new administration but accomplishing those tasks isn’t made any easier by an administrative state wielding power that threatens individual liberty, regulatory bureaucrats usurping Congress, and an imbalance of federal and state power. Restoring the Republic tackles all of these issues and a lot more.
Pioneer Institute’s mission is to develop and communicate dynamic ideas that advance prosperity and a vibrant civic life in Massachusetts and beyond.
Pioneer’s vision of success is a state and nation where
our people can prosper and our society thrive because
we enjoy world-class options in education, healthcare,
transportation, and economic opportunity, and where
our government is limited, accountable, and transparent.
- How can Trump’s Executive Orders Can Restore the Republic!
- REPORT: Trump Preparing 100 Executive Orders his first day in office – primarily targeting immigration:
o With a House Speaker elected Friday, the 119th Congress is ready to begin its work. Added to this legislative activity are the many Executive Orders being contemplated by President-elect Trump. EOs reflect the prerogatives of a president but they can serve an even larger function - realigning the federal government and its many departments and agencies with the Constitution.
o That’s the view of the 100-day blueprint Restoring the Republic, co-authored by scholars Emmett McGroarty, Adam Milsap and Charles Keckler. Their comprehensive blueprint for improving how government works is filled with practical solutions to restore presidential authority, ensure the constitutional role of Congress and how to keep the administrative state from eroding our individual liberties.
o The administrative state has expanded beyond the boundaries envisioned by the Framers, and what can be done to reign-in its power.

Segment Topic:
What is the future of the IRS during a second, Trump Administration?
- What is the future of the Trump Tax Cuts; will they be renewed?
- Is a flat tax in America’s future?
o What about a FAIR TAX which is typically a 1% tax on all transactions? No deductions. The rich pay more! because they buy more. IRS would only be needed to collect the 1% from businesses. Simple is better
(Trucking Curmudgeon)
- What about those 87,000 (well-armed) IRS agents?
- Is the IRS Tossing YOUR Tax info In the Trash?
Problems at the Internal Revenue Service are only getting worse. The latest mess involves an IRS watchdog report showing that private information on random taxpayers is just being tossed-out with ordinary trash. According to the Inspector General’s report, this taxpayer info is just routinely discarded along with regular office trash.
Adding insult to injury, we now hear that Democrats are lobbying Joe Biden to issue a pardon for notorious IRS file leaker Charles Littlejohn, sentenced to five years for illegally disclosing thousands of tax records, including those of President-elect Donald Trump!
o Between lax IRS document security, thousands of leaked IRS records, and efforts to let criminals skate on their crimes, the problems at the agency are undeniably in need of major reform if taxpayer confidentiality is to be protected.
o How do we restore confidence in the IRS?
Panelist:
Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist
No American has defended Americans from the inequality of our taxation than Grover Norquist.
