Operation Truth episodes

  • Education Crisis and The Great Pandemic Divide

    Long-time listener Claire calls Lou and defends U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg's two-month maternity leave. Lou's next caller is a teacher from Charlotte who asks Lou why our education system is so broken, how we can fix it, and why so many teachers are leaving and starting new careers elsewhere. Marcus wants to know if the Alec Baldwin situation will change protocols handling firearms on set moving forward. Lou closes the show with his thoughts on why 9/11 brought New Yorkers closer together yet the pandemic divided them created discord.

    This show is about trying to fix heavy societal problems in a practical way, using common sense logic, and reasoning. Lou brings his perspective as a former police officer, global personal security specialist to some of the most iconic companies and individuals on the planet. However, Lou’s most important perspective as a father. In the end, it's about us handing over a better place for the next generation.

    Our show is interactive with our audience, callers, and renowned guests. No topics are ignored, however, be prepared to get an earful and interact as there are no sound-bite answers to these meaningful questions. 

    Our show is passionate yet not snarky nor patronizing – we listen to both sides, ask relevant questions, stay on topic, and then Lou chimes in with a recap and practical breakdown with problem-solving that lays out a foundation for change – “heavy lifting” rather than kicking the can down the road.

He ends the show discussing whether it is smart to reopen football stadiums at full capacity or if we're being ignorant about the virus.
