April 19, 2024 16:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBUnited we stand, divided we fall. This is true in families, corporations, and countries.

April 03, 2024 17:48 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBWhen we call 911 in an emergency, we expect someone to answer our call, to send help immediately, and for emergency personnel to arrive ready and able to deliver assistance in a professional manner.

March 07, 2024 14:00 - 38 minutes - 35.2 MBIf our goal is to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat, then we need to be well informed about Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and other election integrity issues that can jeopardize the impact of our vote. RCV has many names, including Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) and Final Five, but no matter the name, the system of voting is a danger to the integrity of our elections and to the ability of citizens to clearly choose their elected officials. RCV is overly complicated and not very popular among ...

Even if you may not have experienced personal censorship, it is likely you know of someone who has been silenced on social media or possibly may have had their entire profile removed with no warning.

Freedom Lost Anywhere Is Freedom Lost Everywhere – The Truth About Nigeria – with Douglas Burton - [Ep.202]
January 31, 2024 10:29 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBFreedom is a fragile thing. If not protected, it can be easily lost for generations, bringing poverty, heartbreak, and despair.

The religious persecution of Christians in Nigeria is a tragedy occurring in real-time every day. What does this mean to y...

January 19, 2024 14:30 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBIn our ever-changing world, some things always remain the same. Up is up, down is down, the force of gravity is real, and no matter what current math programs may say, 2+2 still equals 4. The same is true regarding public policy. Many principles and policies are timeless in relevance and application to our lives. We can see this clearly when we take an objective look at history, and if we are wise, we will learn from successes and failures of various policies enacted at local, state, and nat...

We Lost Count But The Lost Still Count – The Border Crisis – with Craig Huey – [Ep. 196]
December 18, 2023 14:33 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBAn open border brings chaos. It is a national security risk and an ever-growing threat to the health and safety of millions. It is an economic disaster as it strains the nation’s resources and puts undue burdens on taxpayers and state and local governments. Millions of people have entered the border illegally since the current administration opened the border in early 2021. While many illegals are innocent pawns in a bigger game, many are here with ill intent. Skyrocketing crime, sex and dru...

December 12, 2023 12:52 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBWe all have seen movies or read books in which evil masterminds plot world control and dominance.

December 04, 2023 09:39 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBPoliticians and bureaucrats are often known for hypocrisy, but it is especially rampant among those who oversee energy policy, especially in the United States.

Flourishing In The Freedom Economy – with Andrew Crapuchettes – [Ep. 193]
November 29, 2023 04:45 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBSuccessful businesses are the lifeblood of a healthy economy. Businesses pay taxes, create jobs, and provide incomes for millions of Americans who also pay taxes.

The Hands That Rock The Cradles Impact Business And Politics – with Amber Infusino – [Ep. 191]
November 13, 2023 22:49 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBYou’ve heard it said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. In a way, it is true. Mothers – and fathers – have a great impact on our nation as they teach and train their children. All great leaders were once children, and the impact of parents in a child’s life is immeasurable. Our young people suffer when they are allowed to be grown up children instead of adults, and our culture suffers when parents do not take on the responsibilities of preparing children for adulthood and b...
Immigration or Invasion? – The Covert War – with Todd Bensman – [Ep. 190]
November 03, 2023 12:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBWhat if your home was invaded by a crowd of strangers who ate all your food, took all your money, committed violent crimes against your family, and called you racist or phobic if you asked them to leave? That is exactly what is happening on a larger scale in our nation today. Current immigration policies are not enforcing a secure border, they are creating a pathway for illegal immigrants to flood our nation with numbers that signal an invasion. Our taxpayer dollars pay for food, transportat...

Justice vs. Justice – [Ep. 187]
October 04, 2023 03:43 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBWhen we hear the word justice, we often think of the words fair, honest, impartial, legal, appropriate, equal, or righteous. Our Constitution guarantees justice to our citizens, but is justice truly being administered in our legal system today? Many would say it is not, as they have dealt with oppression and unwarranted or unfair arrests and prosecutions for legally gathering in support of issues they feel are important. While some groups and people were condoned and even supported as they b...

Linda’s guest, Susan Swift, is a lawyer, author, and activist with a long career in politics and law. In this episode, they discuss issues from a v...

September 05, 2023 13:55 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MBHave you wondered what you would do if asked to commit a crime in your workplace? Could you be a whistleblower? The choice is not always easy, and fear may prevent acting with integrity. Linda’s guests, Mark & Ginger Whitacre, chose truth and integrity over money and power, which led to Mark becoming an FBI informant who wore a wire for over three years to expose fraud and corruption in one of America’s largest corporations. As a result, they faced hurdles and hard times, but their courage t...
It’s Not A Game - Monopoly Money & Our Economic Future – with E. J. Antoni – [Ep. 183]
August 29, 2023 12:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MBOne does not need to be an economist to understand our economy is in free fall. Rising debt, inflation, and interest rates are causing multi-generational problems for American citizens. The economy was booming in 2019, with historic gains across the board, and a strong comeback was in process in 2020. What happened to the comeback? What is happening now and what can we expect for the future? Mainstream media pundits tell us the economy is doing well. Is it? How do we know what’s true? Number...

Mark Griffin, Linda’s guest in this episode, has served in the United States Air Force, on Capitol Hill, and in many Fortune 500 companies – especially in the area of Human Resources.

Transforming The Workplace = Transforming Lives - Servant Leadership & Marketplace Ministry -with Mark Whitacre – [Ep. 181]
August 16, 2023 10:55 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBHow does workplace culture affect business profitability and the job performance and well-being of employees and their families? Toxic workplaces have far-reaching consequences, often producing negative cultures, unhappy employees, high-turnover rates, and added costs.

July 30, 2023 17:59 - 32 minutes - 30 MBHigher education costs have skyrocketed and many people wonder if the value matches the expense. That question has become more relevant as people who have never gone to college – or those who have gone and paid back their debt – are being asked to pay off loans for those who still have debt, and as many institutions focus less on academics than on social activism. Is there a better way? Do students truly need a traditional degree? Richard Barnhouse, President of Waukesha County Technical Col...
Public Square – Where “We The People” Go Public – with Christina Werner – [Ep. 178]
July 26, 2023 07:09 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBFor too long, Americans have been unwittingly subsidizing the very values that are destroying our freedom, but people are waking up to create a rising, and much needed, parallel economy – one that does not cancel people due to religious or political beliefs, and one that does not force people to support causes in which they do not believe. How can “We The People” use our resources to help our country and protect our freedom? Each of us can make a difference as we join together to preserve o...

July 17, 2023 02:09 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBPolls, polls, and more polls. It seems we can hardly turn on a news report without hearing some sort of poll results about any number of issues or people.

When properly researched and conducted, polls can provide incredible insight into the minds of citizens, which is helpful for everyone who cares about the future of our country. With so many polling firms, questions, and tactics, how can we – as average c...

June 29, 2023 13:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBWe all have limited amounts of time, energy, and resources. How can we use what we have to protect our freedom?
