America is at a critical crossroads both internationally and domestically, according to today's guest. The plain and simple truth is America's future is "at risk". In his new book, America in 2040, author David Walker asks: Will we still be a superpower? It depends on many things, but we must get our house in order. Walker says current international and domestic policy paths need to be reviewed and revised. The book is designed to show us a way forward to create a better life for current and future generations of Americans. Joining me today is the author of the book, America in 2040: Still a superpower? and former US Comptroller General, David Walker.

Do you have an idea for a book but are not sure how to get it out there? Ever thought of self-publishing? Joining me to discuss the ins and outs of self-publishing is Julie Broad. Julie is founder of Book Launchers and author of the new book--Self-Publish and Succeed--The "No Boring Book" way to write a non-fiction book that sells.

The 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, has come under fire for his racist history once again, and this time Princeton University will be removing his name from the School of Public and International Affairs. In this podcast, I look at how Princeton has responded and how they responded 5 years ago. I take a brief look at his racist history but then go on to look at the damage his interventionist foreign policy, his expansion on government power and the trampling of civil liberties during Wilson's two terms in the White House.

Are lockdowns normal? Since March 2020, a temporary plan has evolved into something much, much more. Not just in the US, but across the globe. Joining me to look at lockdowns, their cost and the future is Jeffrey Tucker. Mr. Tucker is the Editorial Director for the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER). In addition, he is the author of the new book, Liberty or Lockdown.

In a world filled with crime and violence, you are your own last line of defense. There are victims and their are survivors and my guest today teaches you how to be a survivor in his new book.

Elizabeth Bartholet's Harvard Magazine article calls for a ban on homeschooling, claiming that is not only violates a child's right to a "meaningful education" but their right to be protected from abuse. I talk to homeschooling parent and editor at the The Global Dispatch, Brandon Jones.

Back in early July, I had the opportunity to talk with the Libertarian Party Presidential candidate, Dr Jo Jorgensen. On today’s show, Dr Jorgensen’s running mate, Spike Cohen, joined me to discuss a variety of issues. Cohen talked about how the Jorgensen/Cohen ticket would do specific things to reduce the scope and size of government. In addition, many people have run on abolishing the IRS in the past. In this interview, Spike talked about a unique idea of funding the few functions the government is allowed. I also asked him about some current issues that are flooding the 24/7 cable news air time–the coronavirus pandemic and the BLM protests.
