Sean Burke Show

The importance for all of us to watch some of the supreme court nomination hearings, what party is likely to win in the mid-terms, sales of electric vehicles increasing as is the opium production in Afghanistan, and more.

The 10th Amendment to the Constitution - what is it? Why was it included in the Bill of Rights? Is it being ignored? What would our country be like if we had followed it more strictly? On this episode I talk to Michael Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center who details the history of the amendment, how it fell out of use and what we all can do at the state level to reign in our massive national government.

Listen to Detective Paul Holes tell the incredible true story of how he solved the 44 year-old cold-case of the Golden State Killer - one of the most cunning and sadistic serial predators in U.S. history who killed 13 people, committed 51 rapes and 120+ burglaries in California from 1974 to 1986.

Today's show is a replay of an interview I did with Dr. Toby Watson, a clinical psychologist who provides expert testimony in court cases and speaks out internationally about the indisputable tie between psychiatric drugs and violent behavior (think suicide and school shootings). Dr. Watson gives us an insider's view of the unvarnished and startling truth about these drugs and what effects they're having on our society.

Today I talk about the never-ending bull market, what's happening with interest rates and their incredible increase over the last 3 years, Tesla's new problem, NYU's tuition move that might change everything, and the dying cancer patient's takedown of Monsanto, and of course much more.

How does one go from citizen to elected official? How do you step forward and actually get yourself into a position to make the changes you see needing made? Today I interview Changemaker Chad Magendanz, about his path to making change via the military, school board and state elected office.

Today I interview BB King's grandson, Christopher King, who has created a course to help kids learn etiquette, manners and polish, in order to help them be more successful. And, he's helping fight human trafficking. A real changemaker.

Why hasn't another nuclear weapon been used since Hiroshima? How is it that we think we can keep overspending as a country? What would the world be like if Elvis hadn't died so young? What would have happened if JFK wasn't assassinated? These and other questions rattle around in my head, and on today's episode I share them - and my thoughts and ideas about them - with the world.

Today I give my take on what's going on with the economy, as well as Japan's debt problem, the lack of money in pensions across the US, low unemployment and what some states are doing to get people into their rural areas to work, and more - as always.

Why don't high schools teach real-world financial literacy to students as part of their curriculum? If this had been taught in addition to the three R's over the last 50 years, would we have $21 trillion in debt? I don't think so. On today's show, I talk to Ron Rishagen, a successful entrepreneur who retired early and decided to give back as a teacher. He started a course in financial literacy at the high school where he taught to help students understand the power of saving, compound interest, how to budget, the dangers of credit cards, and more. Now he's teaching it at Loyola Marymount Univ and his students then go teach it at local high schools. He's doing all he can on his own, but maybe we can help him. He's a true Changemaker - take a moment to hear what he has to say.
