Find your Spy Superpower: https://yt.everydayspy.com/4kjD3VT Trump is in his second term, the government is getting shook up, and our business is growing faster than we ever thought possible! In this conversation, Jihi and I tell you a bit of what life is like for us under the new Trump administration and where we plan on taking you in the future.

In the last few weeks we have seen the successful accusation and prosecution of parents held criminally liable for violent behavior on the parts of their children during school shootings in the United States. This turn in the judicial process is raising questions all over the country as people ask themselves whether this is true justice or a violation of individual rights. Today we tackle this question head-on and ask ourselves not only what the purpose is, but what the future holds for this significant change in due process.

While the staunchest anti-Trump and pro-Biden voters out there are unlikely to change their mind, the majority of American voters are still undecided about their final candidate. But in a moment on a hot Pennsylvania afternoon, Trump changed from a villain against democracy to a hero for democracy by taking a bullet in defense of the country he loves – or at least that's how his campaign is gonna spin it!
