The James Perspective

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne welcome Doug White, the Archibald pharmacist who landed a King Air after his pilot died at the controls on Easter Sunday 2009, with Pastor Jimmy Williams joining from afar. Doug takes us minute by minute through that flight: an autopilot that blew right past 10,000 feet, controller Lisa Grimm talking him down, and the 12,000-foot runway at Fort Myers. Along the way we ask the big faith questions. Is it okay to ask God why? What is "focused fear"? And how does God speak to us through other people? Doug shares how a small-town pharmacist ended up building jails, flying relief missions into Haiti, and flipping a car wash, then tells the story behind the Amazon Prime movie On a Wing and a Prayer, starring Dennis Quaid. We close with a Veterans Day salute and a happy Marine Corps birthday to Jimmy. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne break down Legal Tuesday around eight articles of impeachment filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, from the War Powers Resolution and Pentagon press access to drug-boat strikes and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. We ask whether a federal court has any First Amendment say over who walks the Pentagon halls, and whether Congress could ever subpoena Stephen Miller to testify. James argues you can't retroactively ticket the people who came in under a pre-Trump wink and a nudge, and we insist America must not mass mail out ballots and must hand count paper ballots. Then it's Tech-LSU hoops, Rhett Bomar's $7,400 lesson, midterm vote-total puzzles, and a shorter PJ's Maple Street reminder. Don't miss it, or the coffee!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne, with Tim in the studio and Ben on the phone, kick off Monday NEWS with LSU firing mid-season and stealing a coach, Tech fans wanting patience, and ULM beating Arkansas State for the first time in 25 years. Then it's Cybertruck backorders, Optimus robots for lease instead of sale, and Glenn's Sonic ice-machine story on why renting beats buying. We dig into the midterm fallout: Ben's Minnesota driver's-license angle, Data Republican's forensic turnout math, Susie Wiles out and Stephen Miller in as the "wartime concierge," and Ben's calm-before-the-storm read on Trump's congratulations. We ask whether any rematch skips Boasberg for military tribunals, Glenn points to uncontested local races, and we close at PJ's with French roast. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James and Glenn welcome Sarah for a Conspiracy Friday deep dive into the Moonies, with Charlotte in for the first stretch and Dwayne along for the ride. Sarah traces Sun Myung Moon from a mountain vision and the Unification Church's "true parents" theology through mass weddings, a seafood empire that made him "king of the ocean," UPI, the Washington Times, and a tax-evasion conviction that somehow turned him into a martyr. Then we follow the money to Japan and Tetsuya Yamagami, whose homemade shotgun killed Shinzo Abe after the church emptied his mother's fortune. We hit emperor-and-empress-of-the-universe cosplay, mind-control weekends, and Glenn's cult-versus-mind-control-cult distinction, and we close at PJ's with a tuna punchline. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne, with David on the phone and Charlotte in the room, kick off Technology Thursday with a Synology ransomware scare, then dive into the midterm fallout. We chase the "dog not barking" after Tuesday's results, ask what Trump's silence means, and follow David's Clarity Act update: Maxine Waters versus the CFTC, and why he still likes ISO 20022 coins like XRP over Bitcoin as pure stored value. We hit Grok's token cuts, Musk's "AI in space," Louisiana data-center power, and Glenn's current reading review of “Unelected”. Then Neuralink inhabiting Optimus robots, Colossus sites nicknamed Spam and Gun Range, and whether any rematch of this election skips the Article III courts. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James and Dwayne welcome Pastor Jimmy Williams, with Tim in the studio, for a deep dive into the minor prophets and a big question: was it easier or harder to be righteous before Jesus? After a quick nod to the elephant in the room that's now a donkey, Jimmy explains why the Book of the Twelve gets called "minor," and why turning to other gods, not stubbing your toe, is what really angered God. We dig into Romans 3 and 7, Psalm 14, and the Pharisee and the tax collector, and Jimmy compares the Holy Spirit to a pole vaulter's fiberglass pole: God's standard hasn't changed, but now we've got a lot more lift. Then James lays out the Baptist view of justification and sanctification, and the frog hairs fly as we debate whether you can lose your salvation. Dwayne asks the plain-English questions we're all thinking, and we close by asking whether we can get a sample of heaven right now. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Dwayne, and Tim are in the studio with Ben on the phone for an Election Day Legal Tuesday! We break down the Ohio Supreme Court's boneless wing case, where a diner ended up in the ER with a chicken bone stuck in his throat, and the court said a reasonable person could expect a bone in a "boneless" wing. James explains why a statute, not the lawyers, is behind that reasoning, how Louisiana handles adulterated food, and why "there's nothing natural about boneless chicken." We also revisit Bill Clinton's famous "it depends on what the meaning of the word is is." Then we dig into how a fast-growing thunderstorm may have brought down the Learjet 60 near Mar-a-Lago and the new radar tech that could warn pilots. Ben reports 80,000 tons of steel headed to an Arizona chip plant, and we make our House and Senate predictions before one final message: get out and vote! Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne gear up for Election Day with one big message: go vote! We pick apart NBC's midterm-eve "final poll" and ask what a 52 to 45 generic-ballot number really tells you, and Dwayne checks the economy at the pump, with gas at $3.96 compared to $2.99 fourteen years ago. Glenn walks through pollster Richard Baris's forecast, Dwayne explains why North Carolina's "octopus" map keeps it purple, and we size up the Senate races to watch, from Texas and Michigan to Alaska's ranked-choice ballot. James runs through Louisiana's constitutional amendments, including the senior tax freeze. Then we head overseas as Gen Z riots spread from France to Germany, and James finally asks the question: is it time to stock up on 90 days of food? From offshore beanie weenies to Y2K and the year 1000, we weigh how prepared is prepared enough. Don't miss it!
