Michael Compton on keeping the Republic

09/30/2026

What does it take to keep a constitutional republic strong for the next generation? In this episode, we discuss Michael Compton, author of Keeping the Republic: A Citizen’s Guide for the Next 250 Years. Drawing from his grassroots work with Act for Missouri, Compton explores the idea that preserving America’s constitutional republic requires more than elections and political leaders—it requires citizens who understand and practice self-government. The book examines constitutional structure, federalism, God-given rights, civic virtue, and the responsibilities citizens have between elections. It also provides practical guidance for becoming more engaged in government, including how to: • Evaluate legislat...

The fight against Flock cameras isn’t over. Flock cameras are becoming increasingly common, raising serious questions about privacy, surveillance, data retention, and the ability of government and law enforcement to track where people travel. In this episode of the Missouri Liberty Report, we take another look at the continued pushback against Flock cameras and the growing debate over automated license plate readers. How much information should be collected about innocent people simply going about their daily lives? Who has access to that data? How long is it kept? And what safeguards exist to prevent abuse? This isn't just about ca...

Clean Missouri passed in 2018, not that you could tell.  The people were told that corporate and outside interests were taking advantage of the situation and the worst of the worst were being elected.  Well, now the money is all flowing to PACs and lobbyists, and they're buying votes in the House and Senate.  The Republican party is addicted to this money to keep its majority.  Clearly, the interest of the people isn't being discussed.

Are they talking about AI, or are they pushing for the surveillance state. I'll also have a video from the UK where a man is being interviewed about the state of his country and what he thinks the problems really are, and where they stem from.
