The Strongcast

How far are we going to go before we decide to make some dramatic changes in the media, and our lives, and how we protect ourselves? What do we do. We make these arguments about gun control. What about suicide bomber control! Do you think you can control suicide bombers the way you control guns. No! Because someone who is bent on destruction, eventually they're going to succeed. We need to take a closer look at ourselves and how we can be better, and how we can make a better society. And how we can stop this in its tracks. I mean it's like Armageddon, a slow Armageddon. It's destructive. When will it stop. Can we stop it? #StrongTalk

I do not believe there was any reason for President Trump to encourage another head of state to ban a member of congress from visiting their country. And on top of that... to tweet out that he though Chris Cuomo was Fredo? Come on Mr. President... we can do better than that!

Congressman Steven King from Iowa wondered if there would “be any population of the world left” if not for rape and incest. Let's think about this... certainly if you're a creationist you have to allow for a high degree of incest? And what about ancient societies that we laud for conquering the known world? What about the Christopher Columbus and other Europeans conquering the new world? That is to say nothing of the royal lineages and child brides. Does Steve King have a point?

Secondly, how on earth did Jeffrey Epstein end up with a broken neck? Do you have any idea how hard it is to break a neck from hanging? It wasn't fully effective when criminals and dissidents were hung in the galleys, and they were dropped! Where did Epstein drop from? Did that old man jump from his bunk?

What do you know about Africa? Why are African countries still falling behind in development? They must invest in science and technology, that's the secret to wealth in the industrial world. Africa has fallen behind but has more than enough potential to catch and even surpass the United States and other Western nations.

I understand Chris Cuomo, I understand his reaction, I understand his feeling insulted. The F bombs were just a little too much. Being a public figure creates a frustrating dichotomy. We have our public persona, which somehow allows people to feel like they really know you, and then there's our actually humanity. The public forgets we are still people too, we have feelings. As a public figure we have to take the high road and maintain our personal dignity. We cannot allow ourselves to be baited!

Are we allowed to vet those who wish to enter our country? Starting in October becoming a resident is contingent upon an aggressive wealth test. The wealth test is to ensure that the immigrants we are welcoming into the country are able to support themselves.

What's wrong with having people that can afford to take care of themselves come to the country? Our government struggles with the 300 million Americans that are already here. Every major city has scores of homeless, let's focus on what matters.

Should Biden be disqualified or dismissed because he's always putting his foot in his mouth?

Let's keep the conversation going #StrongTalk

Just how dumb do "they" think we are? Suicide? Suicide!? Oh please... When you think about all of the names that came up in regard to Epstein's case, he had to die! Too many people had too much to lose. Can you imagine what the autopsy might say?

I know you're the kind of person that will step up in a time of need. These kids are crying out, we've got to get to know our community. Especially the children. They need help and they're lashing out, even taking their own lives. Social media is not helping. We need to do more, superficial policies are no longer going to be effective. We need to step up.

Can you imagine that the media would use the recent mass shootings as a political weapon against Trump. What do they hope to achieve? The shooters in these incidents are usually white men - why is that? There is a clear lack of religious faith and conviction in society. Do you think our religious leaders could help troubled individuals before they are pushed to commit acts of evil? Chime in #StrongTalk

On this episode we are joined by Natasha Richburg, Thomas King, and Christian Barnard. We talk about segregation and prejudice as it may, or may not, show up in church, institutions of higher education, and other parts of our daily lives.

Have you ever witnessed or experienced segregation in your daily life? Where or when? How did it affect you? What can be done about it?

On this episode we discuss internet censorship with two distinguished journalists, Jacob Rich along with our good friend and frequent guest Jason Russell.

Do you believe the internet should be censored? Should platforms like Twitter and Facebook be considered utilities? Where do we draw the line?
