John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:Who is the SPLC attacking this time? ([link removed]
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its self-appointed arbiters of “hate” have again targeted groups who dared to question leftist narratives. This time the SPLC is condemning Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education as “anti-government extremist groups” for getting involved in their children's education.

Which nonprofits are fueling the illegal immigrant crisis? ([link removed]
Nonprofits and NGOs are not only supporting illegal immigrants with food and shelter when they arrive at the border but also funding and guiding their migrations from Latin America. For example, the Red Cross gives U.S.-bound immigrants maps, resources, and instructions on how to deal with dangers along the way. A U.N. agency is giving migrants debit cards to cover expenses.

The Penn Biden Center, a think tank named for Joe Biden under the purview of the University of Pennsylvania, has been in the national spotlight in recent months due to some classified documents discovered on site. The center appears to have functioned as a venue for deep-pocketed foreign donors that wanted to “invest in Joe.” Guest researcher Fred Lucas examines this cauldron of cronyism and foreign cash here ([link removed] is funding criminal justice reform? ([link removed]
Criminal justice is big business. On the left, George Soros and a host of billionaires and foundations are pumping big money into the system, funding groups pushing to "defund the police" and elect left-wing prosecutors. On the right, the Manhattan Institute and others are pumping tens of millions of dollars into the other side of the debate. Others are looking for solutions in between the extremes.

Featured Interview
Sarah Lee Talks About BLM Aftermath Docuseries
Sarah Lee joins The Outlaws Radio Show to talk about the newest episode of the BLM Aftermath docuseries:BLM Aftermath: Houston.
Houston was unique in that it resisted the activists who tried to exploit death of George Floyd, who was born in the city. Houston held two funerals--one led by Rev. Al Sharpton--but managed to keep the rioting at bay. BLM: Houston examines how the city maintained peace during the tumultuous summer of 2020. Houston's experience could serve as a blueprint for the rest of the country.

Biden's War on Cars
In this episode ([link removed] The private automobile defined post-World War II America, liberating the masses from the regimentation of railroad schedules and the limitations of foot transportation. But the Left has never liked the motorcar, or at least the social changes it brought. It liberated middle-class Americans from core-city governments by expanding the suburbs, helped turn renters into homeowners, and lessened public dependence on unionized government workers in city mass-transit systems. The car has always been a target of the radical wing of the Left, which seeks every weapon at hand to limit the freedoms the car offers.
Michael Watson and Ken Braun welcome Diana Furchtgott-Roth, the director of the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss the Biden administration's war on cars.
