IPI resident scholar Merrill Matthews, Ph.D. talks with Genesis Communications Network national host Mike Siegel about the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's email scandal, and whether Mrs. Clinton may have violated the Espionage Act. Furthermore, the disastrous way she handled her State Department emails, and the even more disastrous way she handled the questions and scandal that have emerged since, have undermined any notion of Hillary's competence, says Matthews.

On WBAP's Chris Salcedo Show, IPI president Tom Giovanetti delivers a damning blow to the full employment "victory lap" Team Obama is claiming current labor statistics prove. "You're being lied to," said Giovanetti, who points out that since 2008, 10.9 million Americans have dropped out of the workforce, and have gone on Social Security, unemployment, and other government benefits. "The only reason unemployment is going down is because of the number of people who are giving up. This is very ominous for the economy long-term. This is not full employment. This is a disaster."

On the Jim Bohannon Show, IPI resident scholar Dr. Merrill Matthews discusses and answers questions regarding the growing support for an Article V Convention of the States to provide a check on the federal government. Matthews also dispels fears of a "runaway convention" and that such a body could not upend the U.S. Constitution.

"An Article V convention of the states is not a panacea for solving all of the country's problems. It's only one tool," said Matthews. "But it could be an effective one in restoring the balance of power between the states and the federal government. And it could put the White House on notice that the states have a way of stopping administrative overreach and disregard for the normal legislative process."

In an interview with WINA's Rob Schilling, IPI's Dr. Merrill Matthews makes the case that, as Hillary Clinton's web of scandal continues to grow, Republicans will view Vice President Joe Biden as at least the lesser of the Democrat "evils" should he jump into the 2016 presidential race. Matthews further examines Biden's merits on bipartisanship, the economy and corruption. The only question left remaining: will he run?

IPI resident scholar Dr. Merrill Matthews joins WAVA's Don Kroah to discuss reasons behind the "Black Monday" stock market slide and whether it's temporary or part of long-term trend. "No one knows if these market gyrations indicate a global slowdown or just getting an overdue correction out of its system," said Matthews.

Dr. Merrill Matthews joins 660 AM-The Answer's Mark Davis to discuss rumors of a possible Joe Biden jump into the 2016 presidential race - and why that's a brilliant prospect.

IPI president Tom Giovanetti joins 660 AM-The Answer's Mark Davis responding to Donald Trump's boycott of Oreos after the manufacturer announced its move to Mexico from Chicago. Giovanetti goes beyond the boycott talk to point out how Americans should be troubled when a company decides to invest overseas rather than domestically, and how the US should do a better job on free trade and competing internationally.

IPI president Tom Giovanetti joins KMED's Bill Meyer responds to Oreo's move to Mexico from Chicago, pointing out how onerous taxes, regulations and labor costs make the U.S. a prohibitively expensive place to invest for businesses. The conversation also moves to examples of market distortions caused by agriculture subsidies and also the benefits of trade liberalization.

The costs of college tuition have soared with the amount of government-backed student lending available, and there's a growing sense of entitlement among aspiring collegiates that "someone owes me a free college education." IPI's Merrill Matthews, Ph.D. discusses with Wisconsin's Vicki McKenna the changing landscape of college tuition prices and how Hillary Clinton's higher education reform plan would only exacerbate the existing problem.

IPI's Merrill Matthews discusses with Jim Henry how as public opinion toward the Iran deal wanes and political ads ramp up, New York's Sen. Chuck Schumer could be the deciding vote.
