  • The Disappearance of the American Farmer

    Author Brian Reisinger joins Jerry and Rose to discuss his book; "The hidden history of an economic and cultural crisis that is threatening our very food supply—the disappearance of the American farmer."
    Brian shares the stories of working-class story of heart and hardship. Forgotten eras of American history are discussed with his own family’s four-generation fight for survival in Midwestern farm country. The truth about America’s most detrimental and unexplained socioeconomic crisis: How the family farms that feed us went from cutting a middle-class path through the Great Depression to barely making ends meet in modern America.

    Along the way, they’ll see what it truly takes to feed our country: accidents that can kill or maim; weather that blesses or threatens; resilience in the face of crushing economic crises, from depressions and recessions to COVID-19; and the tradition that presses down on each generation when you're not just fighting for your job, you're fighting for your heritage.

  • Is Our Country in a Rapid and Self-inflicted Decline?

    Matt Purple discusses his book; Decline from the Top: Snapshots from America's Crisis and Glimmers of Hope

    Matt take Jerry and Rose on a thoughtful and humorous romp through the ruins … with a surprising glimpse of hope.

    It’s not your imagination. America is in decline. But as depressing as the facts might be, there’s a lot to laugh at. And there might even be hope.

    This country is in rapid and self-inflicted decline. He demonstrates that the 1990s really were better than today and vividly documents

    our economic, political, and cultural signs of decay.

    Thirty years ago, the United States seemed invincible. We had won the Cold War, the economy was galloping, crime had plunged. Life was good, and the country was confident. But since then, a series of crises have drained

    Americans of their optimism.

    Our government is dysfunctional, our president thinks he’s an emperor, our kids are uneducated, our streets are filled with crime, Christianity is in decline, wokeness reigns, and addiction has hollowed out our communities. Even late-night comedy has gone down the tubes.

    Yes, the barbarians are at the gate. In fact, they’re in the

    living room. But while mockery and satire seem to be the only alternatives to despair, no one wants to believe that his country is beyond redemption. Matt in his book; Decline From The Top offers reasons to hope that what goes down might go back up.

  • October 7th: Through Eyes of Capt. Cohon

    Capt. Elkana (Kuno) Cohen, author of OCT 7: The War Against Hamas Through the Eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer.

    Carnage, not seen since the Second World War. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel’s survival.

    In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary.

    Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen’s writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home.

  • Term Limits For Leaders Of Democracies?

    Lord Conrad Black is of the opinion that there should not be term limits for US Presidents - that if you have a good leader who enjoys the confidence of most citizens, you should celebrate that fact and hang on to that leader.

    There is an almost constant debate in many Western countries about term limits for elected politicians. In general, these discussions are more frequent in
    non-parliamentary countries, where the executive does not sit in the legislature and many legislative districts tend to retain the same representative, or at least the same party, for many elections.

    The United States is so attached to undivided presidencies that it officially considers Cleveland to be both the 22nd and the 24th president, and if Trump returns to the White

    House he will be regarded as the 45th and the 47th president.

    The United States initially had no restriction on the number of terms to which a president could be elected, but after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four consecutive times and died in office, and despite his great
    prestige and popularity, the Constitution was amended to limit presidents to two elections to that office.

  • Do Politicians Prefer Soundbites Over Healthy Debate?

    Are Politicians more interested in compelling sound bites? Have they lost the art of debate and healthy communication altogether? Jerry and Rose are joined by Millennial David Tennent, Founder of Capitol CNCT, a Washington D.C. based company looking to curate the next generation of political leaders in Washington.

    David shares the impact a painting had that is hanging in the basement of the capitol building.  The painting depicted 2 members of the house having a debate while the other members listened. This has been lost over the many years since. Now most members  go in for 5 minutes deliver their speech and leave. David said he yearns for that world where there was true deliberation and logical debates.

    From his opinion piece in CNCT Newsletter: “While a bullet narrowly missed former President Donald Trump, America has been hit head-on with a monumental choice: Will we turn down the heat on our divisive rhetoric? Or, will we let the pot of political hate boil over? As a former Congressional staffer who recently spent three years on the Hill, I have witnessed firsthand the division and self-segregation based on party inside Congress: The ‘us versus them’ mindset torched most opportunities for bipartisan relationships and collaboration became a niche concept.” – David Tennent

    Note: As a former Congressional staffer, David realized there was a lack of opportunity for staffers to communicate and collaborate with one another. He founded CNCT in an effort to offer staffers the resources and opportunities necessary to affect change and make a greater impact on the Hill.

  • Venezuela’s Darkest Hour: Gen Z' Immigrant Shares Frightening Stories...

    Gen Z Immigrant from Venezuela, Daniel DiMartino Joins Jerry and Rose:

    At just 25 years old Daniel DiMartino, Graduate fellow at the Manhattan Institute, escaped Venezuela and shares the unbelievable story of his family's ordeal and what is currently happening to friends of his still living there. One has been kidnapped for her opposition.

    Is Socialism on it's way here in the U.S?

    No one expected the opposition’s landslide victory which garnered over 70% of the votes and won every single reporting voting center.

    The Venezuelan people want freedom desperately and if they don't obtain it, the U.S. can likely expect a million more refugees, many of whom will show up at the southern border.

    This authoritarian government poses a threat to Americans as it plays a key role in drug trafficking and harbors and supports terrorist groups from the Middle East and Latin America.

    The Biden administration did nothing to discourage such fraud. Instead, Biden lifted sanctions on Venezuela's regime and released the socialist tyrant's ⁠⁠nephews⁠⁠ in a prisoner exchange in 2022, as well as his main financier, ⁠⁠Alex Saab⁠⁠.

    Daniel Di Martino is the founder of the Dissident Project, a graduate fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a PhD candidate in economics at Columbia University, and an immigrant from Venezuela.

  • Insane Preoccupation With Absurd Things (EV's, etc)

    GUEST: Conrad Black, Former owner of The Telegraph, Jerusalem Post, Nationa Post and Chicago Times and Author of; The Political and Strategic History of the World

              As the colossal fear-mongering operation that has accompanied the obsessive pre-occupation with climate change is abandoned by former adherents—an operation that strains credulity with the uneventful passage of time—Canada’s commitment to electric vehicles appears more and more absurd. But we seem at least to have spared ourselves the billions committed in the United States to set up new charging stations for road vehicles, which has so far resulted in only a handful being opened.

    Meanwhile, ⁠many automakers are scaling back⁠ their electric vehicle manufacturing plans.

  • Why Is The DNC So Afraid Of RFK Jr?

    Why Is the DNC So Afraid Of RFK Jr?

    “Democrats hate RFK Jr”  Listen to what more Larry Sharpe, National Organizing Director for American Values 2024, RFK Junior SuperPAC has got to say:

    The Democrats intend to throw him off the ballot. The DNC put out a BILLION dollars into funds to get rid of Bobby Kennedy.  11 lawsuits – he is on the ballots now in those states and the DEMS are sending lawyers and teams in to find miniscule errors to throw him off.  (Since this interview last week; NYS Judges are trying to protect their party system when a judge ruled his name should be removed from the NY state ballot. RFK Jr said he filed his appeal and plans to win the case)

    The Dems hate him because he is not one of them. Find out why in this episode.

    Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New York, and Texas. These ten states represent approximately half of the required signatures nationwide. AV24 is embarking on an independent ballot access campaign and stands ready to address all requisite tasks that it may undertake independently and within the bounds of the law, which further solidifies the organization's commitment to ensure Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s path to the White House. This list may change upon additional legal review.

    Larry Sharpe is the National Organizing Director for American Values 2024, the RFK Junior SuperPAC. He ran for New York Governor in 2018 as a Libertarian.
