The United States government has banned and begun confiscating firearms from its citizens.

Rob Olive has written a novel that has all the hallmarks of a non-fiction.  "Essential Liberty" could be talking about a newly introduced law by Missouri Democrats that would make owning an "assault" weapon and large capacity magazines a felony.

Seemingly ripped from today’s headlines, Essential Liberty is an action-filled, thought-provoking work of fiction about governmental overreach and the abuse of power. Through believable characters and words that could have come from our current political debate, Essential Liberty asks, “What if?”…and then provides the answer.

Gun control.  Chuck Hagel and the Department of Defense. Obama and Russia.

Tonight we'll spend an hour taking a look at the day's stories.  Disussion will ensue. That is all.  Buehler?  Buehler???

As a New Yorker brought up in the world of Broadway Theater, Burt Boyar became a child radio actor earning $1000 a week in the late 1930s and early '40s playing Archie Andrews ("Archie"), Billy Batson ("Captain Marvel"), and others.

He was a caviar taster, a polo player, a widely syndicated Broadway columnist, and close friend and biographer to Sammy Davis Jr.

He was an insider with the world's greatest tennis players (Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Lew Hoad), which brought Burt and his wife Jane to Spain where they lived for 28 years in a beach house in Marbella as close friends of Gen. Francisco Franco's family.

He's led an extraordinary life, and while he's spent a lifetime writing about others, he's finally written a book about his own experiences, "Blessed".  Tonight he visits us to share some delightful anecdotes and tales about the amazing people he's met along the way. 

Do join us.  Caviar and cava on the deck, under the stars... 9pm ET.

Tonight at 9p ET on The Andrea Shea King Show --

When I asked author and political satirist Evan Sayet how he would describe himself, he answered "Author and Political Satirist". I like Evan Sayet.  In fact, I've like him since I met him in a nondescript kind of way several years ago.  I must have made a huge impression on him.... he agreed to be on tonight's show!
