STOP Being Controlled by Corrupt Politicians with Emmanuel Whitfield
Spartans, it’s time to open your eyes to the truth! Awaken your mind to the game our government is playing on us.
In this episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, I'm joined by my good friend Emmanuel Whitfield for a hard-hitting discussion on the corruption happening right under our noses.
In this episode, we discuss controversial topics, and expose the real reasons behind politicians' push for gun control, BlackRock's shady plan to house illegal immigrants, and why emotion-based voting results in choosing the wrong and corrupt leaders. Also, we examine Argentine President Javier Milei's leadership philosophy and how U.S. politicians could learn a thing or two about his strategies.
If you’re not aware of what’s really happening in America today, tune in NOW because you need to hear this conversation.
