Podcast
Unconventional Threat
Hosted by District Productive · EN
This is an election year unlike any other in ways that are unsettling and dangerous. Unconventional Threat brings together exclusive interviews with newsmakers about everything that can happen between now and Inauguration Day, when it's possible we may still not have chosen a President. Journalist Peter Eisner and longtime State Department official Jonathan Winer will outline all the possibilities, including:
- the use of the military;
- uncounted ballots; and
- one scenario where the House of Representatives picks the next President, with each state getting just one vote, no matter who wins the popular vote or leads the Electoral College.
Based on hard reporting, facts, and Constitutional Law, this series of 10 podcasts will prepare you for a very possible Unconventional Threat and delineate the steps we can take to come together as a nation to ensure that everyone has the chance to vote, their votes are counted, and the count is respected to create our national choice for President for the next four years.
Unconventional Threat is a project of Keep Our Republic and is produced by District Productive.

Oct 31, 202000:33:59Tap to summarizePresident Trump on mail-in ballots: “A whole big scam.” Vice-President Joe Biden on claims of voter fraud: “He’s trying to undermine the election.” Unless we see a massive victory by either one of the candidates, both campaigns have signaled they will fight for what they believe to be the right outcome. What Americans need to know is how this battle for ballots could create an unprecedented outcome with the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, being sworn in as President of the United States on Inauguration Day. How is that even possible? Republican and Democratic scholars and advisors lead us on a Constitutional journey from November 3rd to January 20th, pointing out the legal tripwires and dates certain that may likely determine our next President.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oct 25, 202000:31:03Tap to summarizePresident Trump has a secret that is also held by Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and every President going all the way back to Eisenhower. In Washington DC, a city riddled with leaks where the main currency is the exchange of information, how is it possible this secret has been kept for 64 years?In this episode of Unconventional Threat, we are going to explore what we know---and what we don’t know---about PEADs, Presidential Emergency Action Documents.Few Americans know that a state of emergency allows the President to exercise powers contained in secret Presidential Emergency Action Documents. More troubling, even fewer leaders of our federal government--in all three branches-- know what authorities, documented in the PEAD’s, can be claimed by the President. The question to be answered is “How do we safeguard our electoral process in a state of emergency, when the President is wielding unknown - and potentially unprecedented - uses of Presidential powers?” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Now, in the 21st Century, we are seeing the manifestations of our shameful legacy play out once again in fulsome fashion during the 2020 presidential election.Voter intimidation and suppression are rooted in the founding of our country. In the 21st Century, opportunists are embracing the tactics of the past and overlaying them with the tools and technology of the present in order to cement their supremacy in the future.In this episode of Unconventional Threat, we expose and examine the bad actors who are undermining the democratic principles that we need to Keep Our Republic secure for future generations.
