Sean Burke Show

Today is the second episode in our series on the Federal Reserve - how did it get started?

Listen as Dr. Bill Greene lays out the founding of our Federal Reserve, who was behind it, what they intended to have happen, and some thoughts and opinions on the result. (You might even hear Thomas Jefferson rolling over in his grave as you listen.)

What is the electoral college and do we really need it? My guest is Dr. Walter E. Williams who explains why the founders put it into the Constitution, what would happen if we eliminated it, and what he thinks of our government taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor.

Today is the 3rd episode on our series on the Constitution where we answer the question: what is a republic? Few people really have the correct definition. The short answer is that it's not a democracy, but there's much more to it. The full answer dates back to the Greeks and our guest expert - John Chambers, AKA Mr. Constitution - simplifies it for us. Our Founders wanted a Constitution that would last, and so built a Republic. Might be good for us ALL to understand what one is.

Episode two on the Constitution on today's show. We go over the Constitutional convention of 1787, and in particular the development of both houses of Congress, why they allowed slaves to be counted as 3/5th's of a person, and whether or not this was pro or anti-slavery (you might be surprised by the answer). Plus a few other tidbits. It's your country - take a moment to learn a bit more about it.

On today's show: The first episode of our series on the US Constitution - leading up to the Constitutional Convention and why even change the Articles of Confederation. Also, how I track the economy (as well as educate myself on what's going on with it) and more.

An overview of which party will win/lose seats in the midterm elections by Sean Burke Show

An update on Medicare For All as we close in on the mid-term elections from Sally Pipes, my thoughts on Elon Musk and the lawsuit filed against him by the SEC, the hard-core politics at play during the confirmation hearings of Judge Kavanaugh to be on the supreme court, and a couple things many aren't tracking that will affect the economy (potentially to their demise).

What are GMO's and do they significantly affect our health? On today's show I interview changemaker Jeffrey Smith, a leading consumer advocate pushing for healthier, non-GMO choices. In this show we discuss the recent court case that was decided against Monsanto and what Roundup does to plants, animals and us. Mr. Smith also talks about the illnesses connected to Roundup, and what additional genetic modifications are being done to a greater and greater proportion of our food chain. And of course, what we can do about it.

Today is the first episode of our new series taking a look at The Federal Reserve, how it got started, what it is, how it works and why it matters. Also my thoughts on the economy. My guest on the show today is Bill Green, assistant professor of political science at South Texas College.
