Constitutional scholar Bruce Fine discusses his book "American Empire: Before the Fall" at a Virginia book fair. Fine argues that the United States has transitioned from a Republic to an Empire, where the President exercises unilateral power while Congress abdicates its responsibility. He highlights a specific instance where Congress requested the executive branch draft its own war resolutions to avoid political accountability.

Bruce Fine rants about the executive branch's claimed authority to place American citizens on assassination hit lists without judicial review. He characterizes the "War on Terror" as a perpetual war against a tactic rather than a specific entity, effectively turning the entire planet into a battlefield. Fine also criticizes the Obama administration's refusal to prosecute prior officials for waterboarding and FISA violations.

A Dutch politician accidentally posted a sexually explicit message publicly on Twitter, believing he was sending a private direct message. The hosts use this as a cautionary tale about social media use. The segment transitions into a final montage of Bruce Fine's warnings about the erosion of American sovereignty and the rise of a "government of wolves."

In the final segment, Bruce Fine emphasizes that "We the People" are the sovereigns of the United States, not the government. He warns that the legal architecture for tyranny is already in place, citing the use of body scanners on billions of people and the executive branch's defiance of congressional subpoenas. The show concludes with a reminder of the need for constant vigilance against government power.
