"Remember no man is a failure who has friends." It's a Wonderful Life, 1946

George Bailey can teach us all a lot about life. Every year we try to dedicate the last program of December to think about what Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart were trying to tell America in the classic film It's a Wonderful Life. So grab your last holiday cup of cheer and join us around the radio this week on The Public Square®.

Happy New Year from all of us at The Public Square®!

In November of 2021 the nation of Austria became the first country in Europe to mandate a physical lockdown of any person not obeying the government mandate of full COVID vaccination. Austria has thus divided humanity between the vaxxed and unvaxxed. Once again Austrians are only free to move and participate in society if they can show their government approved papers.

What is next for Austria, Europe and the rest of the once-free Western world? Do we have a responsibility to speak out on this matter, or is the debate too far gone in America to matter any longer? Tune in to The Public Square® to hear more.
