Viewpoint This Sunday

Justice Kennedy Retires: President Trump will make his second appointment to the court on July 9th. Critics say their biggest FEAR is abortion and gay rights in that they could be overturned. The battle lines have now been drawn. Russia Summit: Trump – Putin Summit set for July 16, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland. What will be the agenda for the Russian meeting? Five Dead in Annapolis Newsroom Shooting. The motivation this time is a disgruntled employee, how can we stop something like this shooting? DrRon Martinelli and Dennis Santiago will lead the discussion on our top stories.

Supreme Court delivers two landmark decisions with the travel ban being upheld and public unions taking a hit. Court upheld travel ban based on Presidential powers as defined by the Constitution, will this lead to further actions by President Trump, i.e. border control / immigration? Union dues can no longer be forcibly collected by individuals opting out of joining a public employee union. How will this affect unions? Congressional hearings as Wray and Rosenstein on the hot seat, and cries to abolish ICE. Will Congress act or just bury their heads in the “Election Year sand?" Ilana Freedman and Brian Gould provide analysis on these stories.

America the Beautiful Gets Ugly - As we celebrate the 242nd anniversary of the United States of America’s Declaration of our Independence, many of our fellow Americans have forgotten much of what makes our country, truly unique. Individualism -- including the role of religion, speech, protest --- at this moment, our nation stand at a crossroads. Today on VIEWPOINT we take a deep look into a cross-section of political beliefs and attitudes of passionate Americans. Our panel on this special segment: Ava Armstrong  leans libertarian; Brian Gould fiscally conservative, socially liberal; Linda Martinelli calls herself a commonsense conservative; and Gayl Murphy is a moderate progressive.

Immigration Ugly - This week an explosive discussion of immigration issues centered around children being separated from their parents at the border. Yet police routinely separate children from their families when a crime has been committed in all 50 states; should there be a different policy at the border? The Immigration debate and the people having the debate have all shown signs of becoming unhinged this week. Ratcheting up the hyperbolic talk was the media elites and of course the political obstructionists. Dr. Stephen Steinlight and Jim McCay will discuss the impact of this major crisis, and the odds in a legislative victory.

Supreme Court Impact - This week the Supreme Court handed down two decisions one covering the rights of states to collect sales taxes on Internet transactions, the second being one on the privacy of cell phone data as it relates to police activities for tracking potential criminal activity. Ilana Freedman and Ava Armstrong will take a look at both of these rulings and their impact.

North Korea Progress - Kim Jong Un has proposed a reunion for families separated by the war for this summer -- a move in the right direction? The returned remains of American soldiers missing in action since the end of the Korean War, the process has started. Trump’s keeping sanctions on North Korea for at least the next 12 months pending the directions for further discussions, is this a smart move? 

Charles Krauthammer - The passing of Krauthammer has left an indelible mark on millions of people who read his columns and watched his analysis on television. One of our favorite quotes sums up the political strife real well: “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.” Our panel will have a special tribute to the man and the mark he has left.

Does The IG Report Change Anything? - “All the people who were initially voting for her would not, and were not, swayed by any decision the FBI put out.  Trump’s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS that think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing.  They probably didn’t watch the debates, aren’t fully educated on his policies, and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm.” NO BIAS? Malcolm says this is the BIGGEST COVER UP since the accidental root canal of Pres Grover Cleveland back in 1887. Col Jim Waurishuk and Brian Gould provide the best analysis on the fallout from the report conclusion!

Finding Fault With North Korea Summit - Even before the ink dried on the agreement, Schumer, Pelosi and 99 out of 100 members of the media were lined up to criticize the document and everything that happened leading up to and through the Summit. Short memories? The release of three American prisoners, the destruction of their nuclear test site in front of members of the press and more. Can President Trump hold North Korea to their word this time? Ilana Freedman and Del Wilber take a deeper look into the Summit and what happens next...

Immigration Trickery, Oil Prices & CA Divide - Children being taken from their mothers while they are breastfeeding, Concentration Camps, horrible conditions... the charges and headlines are many as mass-hysteria continues to build on the southern border. Why are we still talking about this immigration madness? The political apparatus in Washington is working overtime on how to scheme the system for their own political prowess. Oil Prices have been on the rise; why the rise when supply is plentiful? The great California divide - the ballot initiative that could split California up into several states? Jim McCay and Brian Gould join Malcolm for a roundtable talk on these hot topics...

The G7 Impact, All Eyes on Singapore - The G7 Summit concludes in Canada. The big talk was on trade and the focus on tariffs. President Trump attempts to level the playing field but not everybody is buying in. The North Korea Summit was destined to be hostile; and the G7 with Allies was suppose to be friendly-territory. Oddly, it may be the tale of two Summits with entirely different outcomes! Also, the VA MISSION Act was signed this week by the President giving Veterans the option of choices in the private healthcare sector vs just VA facilities. Col Jim Waurishuk and Ilana Freedman bring expert analysis on these top news stories.

Immigration Outrage - Border security - Border Wall, Chain Migration, Visa Lottery, Anchor Baby, Border infiltrators, No More Amnesty ----- the list of ‘catchphrases’ goes on and on…and so is our arcane immigration system. As the House attempts to do a two-step with four potential outcomes; Speaker Ryan and Senate Leader McConnell bring a less than stellar vision of what successful immigration policy looks like. Clearly Congress is disconnected from the will of the American people and unable as they are to make a decision, as existing law provides. How do we stop this invasion of America? Dr. Stephen Steinlight and George McClellan deliver an honest and heartfelt debate to listeners that is not to be missed.

IG Report - The significance of the date June 14th...okay it's Trump's birthday, yes and it is Flag Day, but more importantly, it is the date of the highly anticipated Inspector General report. How and Who will the report incriminate within the DoJ and the FBI? And what about the Trump Campaign and the calls for further investigations due to spies and government agencies that may have been up to no good? Perhaps we rename the city from Washington D.C. to Investigation D.C.? Ava Armstrong and Col Jim Waurishuk will bring clarity to the murky swamp!

Summit Countdown, Jobs Report, Police Killings Rise - The Fullerton Hotel Singapore on June 12 is the locale and date for the Summit to World Peace; or at least that is the grand plan. The questions are many and the journey may still get bumpy on the road to peace. Great jobs report, firing on all cylinders--YET the media and critics still find fault. Another police officer was shot while sitting in his cruiser this week this time in Tennessee; how do we stop this? A former Nashville, Tenn. police officer says it is a "sign of the times" and that the media has made it "fashionable" to oppose police. Dennis Santiago, Lt Randy Sutton and Jim McCay lead the conversation with our top news stories. 

The Game in Washington Has Changed - As usual, each side digs in, the attacks against Pres. Trump increases by the media and by the Democratic party. There seems to be no room for discussion, compromise, or agreement on any topic. Why are politicians deadlocked in this stream of hatred? This is not benefiting the country. Is it more important for one side or the other to “win” -- at what cost? Remember the Obama Czars that were put in place at record numbers, where are they now? What about Trump Czars? Ilana Freedman, Col Jim Waurishuk and Ava Armstrong analyze the 'deep state' and the relevancy of appointing Czars.

Everyone’s Talking but No One Is Listening - The week started off with Roseanne Barr making racial remarks on twitter and fired within hours. A few days later Samantha Bee a talk show host makes terribly insulting remarks about Ivanka Trump, with no obvious repercussions. Every night of the week major network programs attack Pres. Trump, not only on policy but on in the most personal way, using foul and derogatory language sometimes of a graphic sexual nature. Why is this suddenly acceptable? Is this the new normal? Sally Fernandez, Ava Armstrong and Ilana Freedman bring a most interesting talk to the forefront without even being rude!

After President Trump cancelled the Summit, Kim Jong-un released a statement, "We tell the United States once more that we are open to resolving problems at any time in any way." Fast forward to Saturday morning when South Korean President Moon Jae-in met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a surprise meeting aimed at keeping inter-Korean relations, and to get the summit back on track between Kim and Trump. With all the accomplishments thus far with North Korea; media coverage has been anything but positive. Is the media even interested in world peace? We will breakdown all the developments with Ilana Freedman, Col Jim Waurishuk and Jim McCay.

In recent days President Trump has issued a number of tweets accusing the FBI of planting and paying a "spy" in his campaign – which he on Wednesday termed "SPYGATE" and later decried as "illegal" and "one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history." President Trump is calling the Mueller investigation tainted because there was embedded spies in his campaign... outrageous, illegal, ridiculous? How is this all connected? Is it all being dragged out to influence the 2018 mid-term elections? Who will benefit the most Democrats or Republicans? Col Jim Waurishuk has the latest and will explore these investigations and what happens next.

Two people are in critical condition and the shooter is in custody after a shooting at Noblesville West Middle School in Indiana. This incident had a different outcome however, and that is due to Jason Seaman, a seventh-grade science teacher at Noblesville West Middle School. Seaman was shot several times after he confronted the gunman. This time two people were seriously injured and there were no deaths; a positive outcome for a situation that could have turned our far differently. Yet the media devoted no time to it, was it because it wasn’t sensational enough? Not enough people killed? Also the latest on Immigration, Gangs and California, and is Trump Transparency the answer when dealing with these Global Trade Agreements? Dr Ron Martinelli, Ava Armstrong and Dennis Santiago are here to discuss in our roundtable panel.

Is this conflict ready to explode as it is becoming a powder keg? Five senior leaders of ISIS were captured in a joint operation involving U.S. and Iraqi forces. Ilana Freedman and Jim McCay provide analysis are these developing stories.

Morality at the CIA - The nomination of Gina Haspel as director of the Central intelligence agency has been delayed by partisan politics at a very critical time in the security of the United States and the world. Senators questioning Ms. Haspel about enhanced interrogation have challenged her moral character--perhaps we provide these good folks with a mirror? How do you fight evil and gain the knowledge needed to protect against future attacks against terrorists who have zero moral character and who stoop to any level to kill innocent people? Dr James Mitchell was there at the crux of this program - he has an interesting take on these matters!

Iran Deal, North Korea Moves Forward - President Trump withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal as promised during his campaign saying this was a bad deal. Iran says it is ready to restart the nuclear program on an "industrial scale" in the wake of this decision. Putin and Merkel reaffirm importance of keeping Iran deal --- There is a great deal of posturing from Europe to work out an arrangement with Iran - another deal perhaps? Key developments from Kim Jong-un in releasing the American hostages and the announcements to invite media to celebrate the dismantling of the nuclear sites - Peace on the Korean Peninsula ?!? Trump attorney Michael Cohen selling access to Trump - what gives here? Col Jim Waurishuk and Ava Armstrong take a strategic look at these important developments.
