Episode 9: It's a Great Big Club...And We Ain't In It

The Business of Representation

The Defiant Citizen - A Publius Project Podcast: A return to first principles, where self-governance, responsibility, and the role of the citizen take center stage.

We can vote.
We can argue politics all day.
We can follow every headline.

And it still won’t change the outcome.

Because the truth is—

We’re not deciding who represents us.

That decision’s already been filtered… long before we ever touch a ballot.

🎙️ Episode 9: The Business of Representation

Inside this episode:

• The “Wealth Primary” that decides who even gets to run

• Why our representatives spend more time chasing money than listening to us

• And the closed loop that keeps the same results in place—no matter who wins

This isn’t about left vs right.

It’s about how the system actually works.

And once you see it…you can’t unsee it.
