  • 17. Buckhead City: An Interview with Bill White, Chairman and CEO of the Buckhead City Committee

    This episode covers the movement to create Buckhead City.  Buckhead City is the proposed city to be created out of an area in Atlanta known as Buckhead.  If passed, the area for Buckhead City will de-annex from Atlanta and create a new city called Buckhead City.  

    The guest for this episode is Bill White who is the Chairman and CEO of the Buckhead City Committee (the committee heading up the effort to create Buckhead City).  Bill discusses the reasons for Buckhead City and process for creating it.  He also addresses some of the criticisms against the cityhood movement.

  • 16. What Vice President Kamala Harris' Lack of Defending Israel Says about Her and the Democrats' Commitment to Israel

    This episode discusses Vice President Harris' recent event at George Mason University in which she did not push back against the claim that Israel engages in "ethnic genocide and displacement of people."  The Vice President's lack of response is emblematic of the Democrat Party's increasingly anti-Israel views.  American voters who vote Democrat but yet support Israel should instead vote for the Republican Party.

  • 15. The Horrors which Illegal Immigrants Face and the United States' Complicity in Them

    This episode details some of the horrors which illegal immigrants face.  It then argues that the United States is complicit in these atrocities because the America's immigration system does not prevent illegal immigration.  If the US immigration system prevented illegal immigration, fewer illegal immigrants would come to the US.  Consequently, the horrors which happen to illegal immigrants would decrease.
