Tara exposes the dark side of political power in Washington — the threats, the intimidation, and the near-collapse of America’s constitutional balance. In this gripping episode, she revisits how two Democrats, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, stood between the nation and permanent one-party rule by refusing to end the Senate filibuster. Tara plays shocking excerpts from Manchin’s own interview, where he describes death threats, stalking, and organized activist campaigns funded by his own party to force him into submission. From the push for amnesty to the trillion-dollar “Build Back Better” plan, Tara reveals how close America came to losing its last safeguard — and why keeping the filibuster may have saved the republic. *They couldn’t buy his vote — so they tried to break him.* filibuster, joe manchin, kyrsten sinema, build back better, amnesty bill, democratic pressure campaign, political intimidation, one-party rule, biden administration, washington corruption, activist funding, tara podcast Tara unpacks Senator Joe Manchin’s shocking revelations about the Democrat-led campaign to eliminate the Senate filibuster — and how his refusal may have saved America from permanent one-party control. She highlights the organized intimidation campaign Manchin faced, including paid protesters, kayakers surrounding his boat, and threats against his family. The goal: to pressure him into supporting the “Build Back Better” bill and amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. Tara draws parallels between these events and the Democrats’ larger agenda — to consolidate power by reshaping voter demographics and silencing dissent. Joined by listener commentary, she also contrasts today’s political and economic climate with earlier generations, warning that Americans must not make it easier for authoritarianism to take root.
