We often read food labels before purchasing food products. We do this because we care about the health and safety of our families. What about the drugs in our medicine cabinets?

What has happened to the Democratic Party in America? Twenty-Twenty has started with Democrats lamenting the death of an Iranian terrorist, Major General Qasem Soleimani, who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and had active plans to kill even more. Rather than celebrating with commonsense Americans who understand and appreciate President Trump’s desire to keep us safe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is seeking to tie the President’s hands.

Change, transformation, and new life are always possible. Just because you are working in a particular field or have always gone about doing things the same way, doesn’t mean you have to continue the same path.

Healthcare in America continues to of great concern for millions of Americans, especially those who are unemployed or on fixed incomes. It also affects people who are working and must contend with high deductibles. Democrats would like to see socialized medicine in America and more government control over the healthcare industry.

There is an organization called Physicians for Reform composed of doctors, nurses, industry suppliers and providers, pastors and activists who study and have studied all aspects of the issue. Black Americans are impacted in a special way. Joining me today is Stephen Broden.

Authentically American is an apparel brand with a fascinating backstory revolving around its founder. Most people don’t know that American manufacturers produce less than 3 percent of the apparel we wear each day. In 1980, American manufacturers produced almost 75 percent of our clothes and textiles. Now we depend on sweat factories in Latin America, Asia, and Mexico to produce clothes, towels, bedsheets, curtains and etc. We can trace the death of American factories back to the 1994 passage of the North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Fortunately, there is a cause for hope and celebration. There are some American patriots who believe in our nation enough to invest time, money, and sweat equity into the formation of American apparel companies. Joining me today is Dean Wegner, a West Point graduate and veteran. Dean is the founder of a 2017 company named Authentically American. Its vision was to “build an iconic American brand that is truly American made” and its mission was to “create American jobs and build a profitable business that is a great place to work.

In a word - PROGRESS. President Donald Trump has made tremendous progress in the black community. He has tackled many of the difficult issues that previous administrations have failed to even address. All this, in spite of the nation’s political environment and the politics of impeachment.

https://youtu.be/hUHfPy7B4eE What can we as ordinary citizens do to impact elections? Everyone should take the time to vote and educate themselves about the candidates running for office at the federal, state, and local levels. But voting alone is not enough, especially when those opposing our Judeo-Christian values are well organized and often backed by philanthropists like George Soros, Chairman of the Open Society Foundation, who gives millions to organizations that hire people to knock on doors as part of an aggressive get on the vote movement for the progressive agenda in America.

What do you know about socialism and its impact on American society? Suppose I was to tell you that socialism threatened your individual liberties, religious freedom, and property rights. Would you be shocked, concerned, or nonchalant? Too many Americans are nonchalant. They are ignorant of the threat socialism poses to their way of life. What if the “greatest threat facing the United States today doesn’t come from China, Iran, or even Russia”? What if “it’s the growing number of Americans who believe Karl Marx’s socialism provides the best strategy for making our communities safer, healthier, and more prosperous?” My guest today is Justin Haskins editorial director and a research fellow at the Heartland Institute. Justin heads the Heartland Institute's "Stopping Socialism Project" and he is the author of Socialism is Evil: The Moral Case Against Marx's Radical Dream.

We need police officers to enforce the rule of law in our cites, states, and towns. Unfortunately, around the country more and more police officers are turning in their badges before they reach retirement age. Nashville, a rapidly growing city, has a shortage of almost 200 officers and is understaffed for a city that receives thousands of 911 calls. Why do the officers leave? We can easily cite poor leadership, low morale, and inadequate pay. We also know that around the country police officers have been disrespected and harassed often by the people in the communities who need them the most. Joining me today to help us better understand the situation is Stephen Jenkins. Jenkins is a former Nashville police officer with a military background. Jenkins served on the Nashville Police force for 12 years and has worked in the Sheriff’s Department. He now works as a private detective and security specialist for Covert Results.

Abortion and the right to life has taken on a new salience in this country. Across the nation, no less than 5 states including Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana, and Alabama have passed heartbeat bills in 2019, banning abortion whenever a heartbeat can be detected. As would be expected, many of these bills have been challenged in federal court and some have been declared unconstitutional because of Roe v. Wade (1973) which legalized abortion in the 50 states. Tennessee, where I live, is debating a heartbeat bill of its own. What is unique about this bill being debated in the state senate is an unusually legal argument that ties the right to life to the Ninth Amendment. The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Joining me today to explain the reasoning behind heartbeat bills is David Fowler, a lawyer and the founder and President of Family Action Council of Tennessee. David is the originator of the legal argument that seeks to tie the Ninth Amendment to the right to life for the unborn. For Further Insight: Family Action Council of Tennessee

According to the Democratic Party presidential candidates and numerous voices comprising the political left, President Donald Trump is a white nationalist, white supremacist, and a plain old racist. Labeling the President and his supporters as subhuman beings filled with hatred of racial and ethnic minorities has become a mantra of the political left. Joining me today to discuss the President and race relations more broadly is Evangelist Alveda King.

Homelessness has become a growing problem for communities across America. Whether the root cause of the problem is mental illness or financial hardship, elected officials are tasked with finding solutions that protect the welfare of the community. Law enforcement officials often become the first point of contact with the homeless. Communities differ in the amount of authority delegated to law enforcement personnel and the range of options available for the less fortunate. Known as the “It” city, Nashville, Tennessee has seen an increase in homelessness and the panhandling and crime that sometimes accompanies the dysfunction that ensues. Joining me today, to make sense of the problem is Dr. Ron Martinelli. Dr. Martinelli is a former police detective and a renowned forensic criminologist.

What explains the Democrats tolerance of anti-Semitism among some of its leaders. Given the Democrat’s widespread Jewish support, why have their national leaders not worked harder to protect Jewish people in America and abroad? Why the blatant hostility against Israel and the full embrace of the Palestinians? In this episode, we discuss Democratic Politics with a Jewish insider who has spent a significant portion of her life grappling with party politics. Once a Democrat, like me, she is now a Republican. Joining me today to share her unique perspective is Ilana Freedman, a Jewish American who has lived and worked in Israel.

What will it take for President Trump to win a second term? Right now, the 2020 presidential field is crowded with Democratic hopefuls, while potential Republican challengers sit, watch and wait. Only a couple of Republican unknowns, Governor Weld (R-MA) and Congressman Seth Moulton (R-MA) have dared venture forward. At this juncture, there are many unanswered questions. Will the Democrats continue to beat the impeachment drum? Will voters hold Democrats accountable for not addressing important issues such as immigration, health care reform, and the economy? Is President Trump vulnerable? If so, what can he do to enhance his chances of reelection? Most importantly, what role will Catholic and evangelical voters play in the 2020 election? Joining me today to grapple with these issues and more is Steve Gill, a conservative talk radio host and political commentator in Nashville, TN.

We know a lot about the enslavement and emancipation of the black descendants of African slaves. Much less is known, however, about human trafficking in America. Human trafficking is about the continued enslavement of men, women, and children living in our cities and towns. Often, we see human trafficking as simply an international problem. We fail to recognize and acknowledge that it is a serious problem for our nation that is not just confined to the seedy parts of town. Joining us today to help us better recognize victims and the pervasiveness of the problem is Gabrielle Thompson. Gabrielle is the executive director of Free for Life International, an organization founded in Nashville, TN in 2006.

Across the country, law enforcement officers are under attack. Politics plays a major role in the disrespect for the work police officers do. As a consequence, we see thousands of them walking away from their jobs. Yet, we know we need them to be safe.

Is socialism the solution to inequity and injustice in America, or is it an empty set of promises leading to greater pain and suffering? Young people inspired by leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) believe greater government control and spending is a cure-all that can solve the nation’s most pressing problems. What they are pushing has failed everywhere it has been tried. Venezuela is the most recent formerly prosperous nation where socialism has had a devastating impact on the people. Joining me today to discuss America’s move towards socialism is Nina Pellegrini. Nina was born in Havana and migrated to the U.S. in 1961. She watched the transition in Cuba and was able to escape with members of her family.

President Trump set up a special commission in 2017 to investigate voter fraud. Kris Kobach headed the investigation which was met with much opposition from Democrats. Unless it serves their immediate interests, Democrats contend that voter fraud does not exist.

The Democratic Socialists of America are on the rise. We now have several in Congress, including the famed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Bernie Sanders. These members of Congress hope to remake America in their ideal of what a fully socialists country would look like. Never mind that socialism has failed around the world, most recently in Venezuela. The socialists believe that socialism is the cure for poverty, inequality, and injustice. Joining me today to make sense of the nonsense is Dr. Ming Wang. Dr. Wang lived through the cultural revolution in China and is a fierce opponent of socialism and communism. Dr. Wang lived through the cultural revolution in China before coming to America.

Conservative students across America attend colleges and universities where freedom of speech is no longer an institutional value. Censorship and political correctness dominate the institutional values of many secular and religious institutions. As a consequence, conservative students often find themselves marginalized and disrespected on campus. Fortunately, many of them survive the hostile environment and are positioned to advise others on how to navigate treacherous waters. Joining me to discuss these issues is Danielle D’ Souza Gill. Danielle is an author, activist, and patriot. She is also the daughter of filmmaker, author, and political commentator Dinesh D’ Souza. Danielle is a millennial whose wisdom far exceeds her years.

America has blood on its hands. Like North Korea and China, America is coming dangerously close to becoming a society that tolerates third trimester abortions and infanticide of infants who survive the abortion process. Governor Andrew Cuomo sparked a national debate when New York State passed the most liberal abortion law in the nation allowing the termination of full-term babies under certain circumstance. When it looked as if things could not get worse, Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia, a former pediatrics doctor, made the heinous comment that a baby born alive “would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” Wow! Joining me today to discuss abortions is Dr. Kelly Victory. Dr. Victory is the President and founder of Victory Health. She is a physician, cowgirl, and a consultant dedicated to improving America’s healthcare system. For Further Insight: Website: http://kellyvictorymd.blogspot.com/

America’s educational system is broken and mired in politics. Black and Hispanic children are among the ones hurt the most, especially those in urban centers. Home schooling and school choice should be viable options for the urban poor. Under President Bush, the District of Columbia had an opportunity scholarship program that gave urban parents choice. Although students achieved considerable success, President Obama who was beholden to teachers’ unions ended the program to the detriment of the students. Marie Stroughter, a conservative black activist and home schooling mom, share her views about what can be done to restore choice to black families and others who suffer from limited educational opportunities.

Our destinies as Americans are intertwined. When Black America sneezes, White America gets a cold. In this episode, we discuss the formation of the Congressional Black Caucus and the NACCP and their connection to the hopelessness and misery found in many black communities. My guest, Burgess Owens, a former NFL player for the Jets and Oakland Raiders explains "It's Not White Supremacists, It's Black Elitist". In fact, one could argue that black political power, as exercised by current Democratic Party leaders, has had a negative impact on the flourishing of black communities while the leaders have enriched themselves by benefiting from private and public largesse.
