Ryan Ralston, Director of Operations at You Are The Power, joins Brian Nichols to reveal how Child Protective Services financially profits from seizing children — and why government overreach at the local level is happening to innocent families across all 50 states. With a 98-99% success rate, You Are The Power is exposing how CPS misdiagnosis, federal Title IV funding, and unelected juvenile court judges create a system that tears families apart — not to protect children, but to collect federal dollars. From eminent domain abuse targeting family farms to ordinances taxing wheelchair users, this episode breaks down the real mechanics of local government corruption and what you can do about it today.

We expose the reality of a foster care system where reunification rates sit at just 15-20% — not because parents are guilty, but because there's no financial incentive to return your child. You need to hear this blueprint for fighting back: how You Are The Power's "people to policy to principle" approach has delivered over 1,000% growth in wins and reunited families that the system tried to destroy. If you believe government is supposed to protect the vulnerable, this episode will change what you think you know.
