Sean Burke Show

If you've ever wanted to know where I stand on socialism and the anti-corporate climate that seems to be growing steam in our country, this is the show for you. Also, the president's chief of staff's comment about the budget deficit that gave me hope (and might get him fired), what I'm reading and my book recommendations, and my thoughts on the recent news that the Boy Scouts declared bankruptcy.

Adam Andrzejewski sold his business and decided to use the profits he earned to start a nonprofit to expose wasteful government spending at the city, state and federal levels. As he says, "We shine the white-hot spotlight on spending, and the rats flee." And his creation helped inspire an entire chapter in the President's proposed budget for 2021 entitled: STOPPING WASTEFUL AND UNNECESSARY SPENDING. Hear why he took on this challenge, and the incredible and outrageous expenditures and overspending they've revealed, and what the fallout has been.

So what the heck happened in Iowa, and who was behind it? Why might Pete Buttigieg give Nancy Pelosi a big Christmas present this year? The NYTimes surveyed people on what they thought of the impeachment and you might be surprised by their answers. And, great news for NASA lovers, an update on the coronavirus, my thoughts on the economy and what you should be doing to secure yourself for what's surely coming, and more.

You may or may not know that I used to work in security at a high level - one of the careers I've had. And it's from that perspective I make my comments on the alternate reality we are living in today that has Kobe, his daughter, her friends, their parents, and a pilot no longer with us. I have a strong point of view on this. And what made Kobe stand out amongst all pro players, and how Walt Disney, and the Warner Brothers fit into it. I also talk about the coronavirus (and why a recent article in The NY Times raised red flags for me), the conclusion of Brexit, and the Iowa Caucuses, and of course more (along various tangents of course).

My thoughts on the impeachment trial and my speculation on Nancy Pelosi's true hidden agenda, the value of Tesla vs Ford and GM (is someone on crack?), China overtaking the US as the world's biggest trading partner (and the virus outbreak), and my thoughts on the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz (and what one survivor is now sharing after 70 years of silence), and more.

My thoughts on the downing of the Ukrainian airliner by Iran, the additional alarming part of that disaster barely mentioned by the press, the power we bestow in the presidency and what must have been on the minds of the Founders as they were deciding who our Commander in Chief should be, Tesla's and Google's latest achievements, where you're most likely to get your car stolen, my thoughts on the U.A.E., Denmark and more.

What to do with all the waste we produce? How about bring a bunch of entrepreneurs together and offer to give them the waste (think raw materials to make other products) at no cost? How about the city sponsor free fix-it days, where experts volunteer their time to fix anything you bring in - for free!? The city of Austin, Texas, is leading the way with these ideas and more with the goal of repurposing as much waste as possible while building up a vibrant, dynamic, entrepreneurial business community that creates valuable jobs - a real win for all involved. Listen as I interview Gena McKinley, who heads up this successful program for the city of Austin.

Dr. Jared Roscoe lets loose with what he's learned from helping patients and goes into detail regarding four key things we can all do to improve our health. He also explains the key differences between the natural medicine approach to healing versus the pharmaceutical approach, and the biggest obstacle we all face in trying to keep ourselves healthy in our modern world. Dr. Roscoe goes into detail on gut health and what leaky gut syndrome is all about (and is it actually real?) He names his favorite supplement brands and goes into detail on what scientific discovery changed his view of why we get ill (and how he's using that information to heal his patients).

A year-end look back, and forward into 2020. Topics include my thoughts on the food industry, the right way to eat for health, the national deficit, the Federal Reserve's new quantitative easing program that no one is talking about, why the stock market is at an all-time high and probably will go higher, my favorite sources of information, and the crazy story of a guy who got a bone marrow transplant and how the donor's DNA took over.

Who says one person can't make a difference? Mindy Maslin took a job with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to teach kids about trees. She then turned that into organizing and training people to take care of the trees in their own neighborhood, and added a tree planting component as well. Over 26 years, 5200 people have graduated from her Tree Tenders program and 20,000 trees have been planted by citizens. And so what's the big deal about trees? They create a more pleasant environment to live in, they provide habitat for animals, they give shade, and studies have shown they even help reduce ADD in kids! One person can make a difference - and so can you. Have a listen on how she did it.
