137. You Are the Power: Eminent Domain and Parental Rights | Spike Cohen | The Feds

<p>In this episode of<em>The Feds</em>, recorded at FreedomFest 2026, we are joined by <strong>Spike Cohen</strong>, founder and president of<strong>You Are the Power,</strong> to discuss how citizens can fight government overreach at the state and local level.</p><p><strong>🔥</strong> Spike explains that while Feds For Freedom focuses on protecting Americans from federal overreach from inside the system, <strong>You Are the Power</strong> works from the outside — taking on local and state abuses involving Child Protective Services, eminent domain, free speech violations, wrongful charges, and property rights. </p><p>The conversation explores how<strong>government incentives can distort justice</strong>, including concerns around CPS cases where families are wrongfully accused, children are removed from homes, and parents are forced into civil administrative systems instead of criminal courts. Spike also discusses<strong>eminent domain</strong> and how a power originally intended for limited public use has expanded into the taking of homes, farms, and businesses for projects like highways, tech parks, and data centers. </p><p><strong>🎯</strong>This episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is not passive. Whether the threat comes from Washington D.C., a state agency, or your local city council, citizens have the power to organize, speak up, and win.</p><p><strong>Check out You are the Power</strong>:<a href="https://www.youarethepower.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u>https://www.youarethepower.net</u></a></p><p><strong>Follow Spike Cohen:</strong> <a href="https://x.com/RealSpikeCohen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u>https://x.com/RealSpikeCohen</u></a></p><p><strong>🎧 Listen to</strong><em><strong> The Feds</strong></em><strong> on </strong><a href="https://jameserdman.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong>Substack</strong></u></a><strong> &amp; all other platforms:</strong><a href="https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong> </strong></u></a><a href="https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong>https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedom</strong></u></a></p><p><strong>🇺🇸 Visit our Website:</strong><a href="http://fedsforfreedom.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong> </strong></u></a><a href="http://fedsforfreedom.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong>FedsForFreedom.org</strong></u></a><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>🏃 Follow us on</strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/feds4freedomusa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong> </strong></u></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/feds4freedomusa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong>Instagram</strong></u></a><strong> /</strong><a href="https://twitter.com/feds4freedomusa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong>X</strong></u></a><strong> /</strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Feds4FreedomUSA/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener"><u><strong>Facebook</strong></u></a><strong>:  @feds4freedomusa</strong></p><p><br></p>
