Today on Coup Save America, Sean has a conversation with Peter B. Collins, a former talk radio host with a long resume in the media field, spanning from his coverage of the Watergate scandal in the 1970’s to hosting his own podcast from 2009 through the 2020 covid-19 pandemic. Peter walks us through a history of devolving political regimes, covering topics such Ronald Reagan and the October Surprise, how Newt Gingrich developed the concepts of political language and talking points, how Clinton repositioned the Democratic party away from social justice, and why Trump is such a “useful idiot.”
Peter joins the show to tell us about Project 2025, a Republican plan to reshape the U.S. federal government to support a conservative agenda. He encourages our audience to visit the website Project2025.org and read the proposed policies for themselves, as he and Sean bemoan how only the wrongdoers in our government seem to possess the drive and organizational skills necessary to set up think tanks and achieve their goals by playing a long game.
Listen to hear parallels between the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Dick Cheney’s Project for the New American Century, and to learn how reforming campaign finance laws could be the most effective path for giving government back to the people – but how difficult that is to achieve and at what risk? As Peter points out about left-wing and right-wing political ideals - “We used to have a four-lane highway, and then they moved the double yellow line to the center of the right lane.”
Peter and Sean both agree that the mainstream media is a “willing lapdog” to spout the propaganda of the political elite. For people seeking genuine objectivity from their news sources, our hosts recommend independent outlets such as Consortium News and Scheer Post.

Coup Save America is a radically left-wing expose on America that uses facts, humor, and intellectual wit to expose the myths surrounding the great western democracy that exists only in the heavily propagandized lore of American history-i-fiction. Each show features in-depth analysis of America’s anti-democratic domestic and foreign policies, a breakdown of the week's news and events that are either ignored or misrepresented by western media, information on the latest crimes emerging from the district of corruption, coverage of the wars and global conflicts being waged unbeknownst to the America people, and a depressingly comedic rundown of the political insanity emanating from both the left and right-wing spectrum.
