May 11, 2020 01:23 - 19 minutes - 19.9 MBWhen you think of Abe Lincoln what do you think? "Honest Abe?" A great orator? The Gettysburg Address? The five dollar bill? Mount Rushmore? He saved America? His assassination by John Wilkes Booth? His Zeus-like monument in Washington, D.C. He always ranks at or near the top of every list of “the greatest Presidents.” But what is the truth about Abraham Lincoln?

April 18, 2020 14:35 - 21 minutes - 21.8 MBIn the last episode, we covered some of the lighter side issues like the importance of slowing down, enjoying our families, nature and the simple things in life. We also discussed the impact the crisis will have on future attendance at traditional four-year colleges and the continued failings of socialized medical systems.

Ep. 92 - The Truth About Price Gouging
March 29, 2020 17:17 - 27 minutes - 28.1 MBAs I record this episode in late March 2020, the world is living through the Coronavirus crisis. Recently my wife and I were discussing the toilet paper shortage. I explained that the reason there isn't any toilet paper now is because the stores did not raise the price when they saw a surge in demand. She argued that price gouging during a crisis is wrong and immoral. I tried to explain why it is actually a good thing. Full disclosure: She was not convinced. Hopefully you will be after liste...
Ep. 91 - The Truth About Joe Biden
March 21, 2020 14:34 - 26 minutes - 28.6 MBJoe Biden has spent almost 50 years in Washington, D.C. and, prior to that, a handful of years practicing law. He is the personification of a career politician. Personally I find him unimpressive, uninspiring and unaccomplished despite his longevity in D.C. In this episode we will examine his voting record, his ideas, his propensity to be a bully, a compulsive liar and a gaffe machine. We also review the history of corruption among the Biden family and discuss the obvious lapse in his menta...
Ep. 90 - The Truth About Bernie Sanders
March 15, 2020 23:52 - 19 minutes - 21 MBBernie Sanders has been leading the charge toward socialism his entire life. Within a few weeks of this podcast's publication (at the most a few months), Bernie will be a two-time loser of the Democratic Party's nomination to be President. Despite his failure to secure the nomination, he has laid the foundation for more radical candidates in the future. In this episode, we examine the life of Sanders and the foundation on which he has built his movement. Show Notes: Britannica.com - Berni...
Ep. 89 - The Truth About February 2020

Ep. 88 - The Truth About Secession - Part II
March 02, 2020 01:07 - 25 minutes - 27.5 MBIn Episode #87, I introduced you to the concept of secession. We reviewed current and past secession movements and offered three reasons it is necessary AND good - decentralization, self-determination and competition. In this episode, I discuss the fourth reason secession is desirable - the idea that smaller is better. After that, we will discuss how secession is justified and dispel the most common objections to the concept of secession. Show Notes: American Secession: The Looming Threat ...
Ep. 87 - The Truth About Secession - Part I
February 26, 2020 02:08 - 18 minutes - 20.1 MBThe “S” word - secession - seems to be brought up with more and more frequency lately. Most recently we have seen counties in rural Virginia exploring the possibility of seceding from the state and joining West Virginia. We are seeing similar movements in Northern California and rural counties in Oregon. While those are wonderful developments, the larger question regarding secession is the idea of entire states seceding from the United States and essentially establish their own nation. The ...
Ep. 86 - The Truth About the Abortion Debate
February 18, 2020 18:31 - 24 minutes - 26.5 MBWe cover a lot of ground in this episode: starting with President Trump’s call for a prohibition of late-term abortion in his State of the Union Address. We then move on to discuss the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade opinion. Then we discuss some very instructive verbal jousting on Facebook about abortion and, finally, we address the misnomer known as "Pro-Choice”. Buckle your seat belts and don't be shy letting me know if you think my analysis goes astray. Show Notes: Truth Quest Podcast E...
Ep. 85 - The Truth About the State of the Union Address
February 11, 2020 02:01 - 28 minutes - 31.4 MBWhat does the spectacle known as the State of the Union Address reveal? In the first part of this episode, we examine President Trump's 2020 State of the Union Address through the eyes of someone who has been off the grid for several decades - an unbiased, casual observer. What did he notice? What were his impressions? What questions did he have? The last part of the episode is an assessment of what the SOTU address reveals about the state of our nation, the state of our federal governmen...

Ep. 83 - The Truth About Capitalism
February 02, 2020 23:34 - 17 minutes - 31.4 MBYou are likely familiar with the caricature of capitalism. You know the one - capitalism is some nefarious monster that does nothing but squash the little guy like bugs while the billionaires laugh, smoke cigars and sip the finest cognac. The criticisms of capitalism are well-known. Capitalism is based on greed and selfishness. It is immoral. It exploits workers. It is a zero sum game. Under capitalism, giant corporations have too much power. And capitalism is based on competition rather th...
Ep. 82 - The Truth About How the United States is Supposed to Conduct War
January 26, 2020 20:56 - 17 minutes - 19.4 MBFollowing the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani (as discussed in the previous Episode #81), national Democrats insisted that Trump violated the War Powers Act of 1973 and passed a non-binding resolution in the House condemning the strike. In that episode I spent a lot of time examining America’s penchant for perpetual war. As discussed, the list of American intervention overseas is quite remarkable: Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Grenada, Panama, Yugosl...
Ep. 81 - The Truth About the Killing of Qasem Soleimani
January 19, 2020 01:00 - 20 minutes - 23.3 MBTwo weeks prior to the original publication of this episode, the United States military killed a man named Qasem Soleimani outside the Baghdad airport. He was a top general in the Iranian army and the possible heir apparent to the top spot in the Iranian government. After digesting the reactions of the media and politicians from both sides of the political spectrum, I realized that something was missing. That something was the big picture; the one that takes into account why the U.S. milit...
Ep. 80 - The Truth About Democracies
January 12, 2020 01:34 - 19 minutes - 21.2 MBIs it just me or is anyone else bothered when you hear politicians and talking heads refer to America as democracy? The “D-word” is thrown around so often by so many that I don’t think many people bat an eye when they hear it. What is the truth about democracy in America?

Ep. 77 - The Truth About the Good News
December 23, 2019 19:59 - 14 minutes - 16.1 MBAs Christmas approaches, I am reading the Book of Luke. As I read the first few chapters, three words kept jumping off the page - “THE GOOD NEWS”. Inherently, I think most Christians know what this means or, at least they think they know what it means. But the more I thought about it, the more I questioned myself. So I thought a deep-dive was in order. 2:30-4:23 -- "good news" scriptures 4:24-8:10 -- "THE GOOD NEWS" scriptures 8:10-9:46 -- Hebrews - Old Testament / New Testament 9:46-11:...
Ep. 76 - The Truth About Hate Speech
December 15, 2019 22:06 - 23 minutes - 24.2 MBIf you pay the slightest bit of attention to the news – nationally or locally – you’ve likely noticed a movement to squash free speech. Sometimes it’s subtle such as a gentle reminder from your spouse not to bring up a particular topic at the family gathering lest you offend Uncle Pete. However, what is happening with more frequency is mass censorship of speech under the guise of calling it “hate speech.” What is the truth about hate speech?

Ep. 75 - The Truth About the Anti-Federalists
December 06, 2019 01:16 - 21 minutes - 24.1 MBWhen you hear discussions about the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, you are likely hearing about the majority group who supported the new Constitution called the Federalists. However, there was another group of prophetic founders who opposed the Constitution as written for a variety of reasons who were equally important. They are called the Anti-Federalists. These forgotten founders warned about the inevitable growth in size, scope and power of the federal government - especially the ...

Ep. 73 - The Truth About Trump Derangement Syndrome
November 24, 2019 00:34 - 21 minutes - 23.2 MBWhen I first heard the term "Trump Derangement Syndrome", I thought, "This is nothing new! The opposing party of every President has some level of irrationality associated with it." I then came across a study that claims Americans are stressed out due to the political climate. They are losing sleep, ruining relationships and feeling mentally and physically sick. When you combine that study with everything Trump has been put through - the constant media scrutiny (fake news), the baseless Ru...
Ep. 72 - The Truth About Edward Snowden
November 17, 2019 14:38 - 25 minutes - 27.8 MBIf you ask the average American their impression of Edward Snowden, you are likely to hear him portrayed as a villain; he is a traitor to the country and should be tried for treason. A growing minority, however, view him as a hero for exposing the illegal and unconstitutional mass surveillance program which was implemented shortly after the terrorist attack on September 11. In this episode, we examine the Snowden saga with an eye toward what it teaches us about the Constitution. Show Note...
Ep. 71 - The Truth About the California Wildfires
November 09, 2019 02:01 - 19 minutes - 20.5 MBDo you know how you can tell it's Fall, bordering on Winter? California is on fire! This annual event seems to fall on the heels of Oktoberfest and, we are being led to believe, that the problem is getting worse! Why? Well, of course, the sole reason for this repetitive event is . . . . climate change!

Ep. 69 - The Truth About White Privilege
October 26, 2019 15:26 - 27 minutes - 29.4 MBThe claim of white privilege is very popular these days but the idea itself raises questions. What does it really mean? What can or should be done about it? What is really accomplished by bringing it up? Does the idea improve the conversation about contentious issues or does it lead to its deterioration?

Ep. 68 - The Truth About Impeachment
October 17, 2019 18:05 - 30 minutes - 33.2 MBImpeachment is a constitutional tool whose responsibility is granted solely to the House of Representatives. As outlined in the Constitution, the rules of impeachment are both specific (treason and bribery) and general (high crimes and misdemeanors). Besides the president and vice president, all "civil officers" are subject to impeachment. That means all federal employees whether appointed or hired. Contrary to popular belief, impeachment does not mean removal from office. It is essentially...
Ep. 67 - The Truth About Negative Interest Rates
October 10, 2019 01:15 - 20 minutes - 22.4 MBIf you follow the financial markets to any extent you have likely heard the term “negative interest rates.” In this episode, we are going to examine this never-before-in-history phenomenon. We are going to discuss the three ways this ridiculous financial policy manifests itself: on individuals, on bank reserves and on bonds and examine merits of this policy. Hint: It ain't good!

Ep. 65 - The Truth About Walmart
September 29, 2019 16:50 - 18 minutes - 20.3 MBYou've likely heard all the critics complaints about Walmart: The company underpays its employees, does not offer employee benefits, squeezes its suppliers which, in turn, kills domestic manufacturing jobs and leads to sweatshop labor in less-developed countries. The list continues: Walmart kills Mom and Pop shops, resists the unionization of their workforce, and destroys rural America. Sounds like a horrible company but what is the truth about Walmart?

Ep. 64 - The Truth About the Federal Income Tax and the Sixteenth Amendment
September 23, 2019 19:04 - 26 minutes - 28.7 MBWhat would you say if I told you the federal income tax is unconstitutional? You most likely would say, "How can that be? I thought we have a constitutional amendment that covers the income tax?" In this episode we are going to examine a perspective that you’ve likely never heard before and look at the truth about the federal income tax and the Sixteenth Amendment. You may be surprised to know that the manner in which the federal income tax is levied may not be in compliance with the Sixte...
Ep. 63 - The Truth About a Wealth Tax
September 15, 2019 23:15 - 26 minutes - 28.5 MBWhen I evaluated the wealth tax I found that, besides the fact that they have been proven to be ineffective, ignore the laws of economics, require us to ignore the track record of the federal government and besides the fact that they are immoral and unconstitutional and their implementation would be stupid, short-cited, punitive, impractical, unnecessary, and a violation of privacy, I see no problem with them.

Ep. 62 - The Truth About Gold and Sound Money
September 10, 2019 03:07 - 23 minutes - 26.4 MBMost people are aware of inflation. They expect the cost of products and services to go up every year. What these same people may not be aware of is the fact that this perpetual inflation is completely unnecessary. If the United States had a sound money policy, meaning the U.S. Dollar was pegged to gold (on a gold standard) most of the angst around monetary policy, interest rates, the national debt, out of control government spending, inverted yield curve, negative interest rates, and crypt...
Ep. 61 - The Truth About the Chinese Social Credit Score System
September 02, 2019 00:21 - 14 minutes - 16.4 MBChina’s social credit score system has been in the news lately. The more I learned about it, the more I saw its implications in America. Is something like this the future of how all governments control their subjects?

Ep. 60 - The Truth About Do Something - Red Flag Laws
August 25, 2019 23:31 - 21 minutes - 24.5 MBFollowing the two most recent mass shootings, the usual cries of DO SOMETHING have resurfaced as they always do following attacks or a crisis. After the Las Vegas shooting, we heard cries for a ban on bump stocks; today it's calls for red flag legislation. These laws, also known as Gun-Violence Restraining Orders, or Extreme Risk Protection Orders allow family members and mental health professionals to petition a court for an order enabling legal authorities to temporarily remove guns from t...
Ep. 59 - The Truth About What We Agree On
August 18, 2019 23:51 - 22 minutes - 24.9 MBI don't know about you but sometimes I get tired of discussing all the areas where we disagree politically or on public policy issues. In this episode I attempt to focus on things that most of us agree on such as government spending, right-to-try laws, the surveillance state, sound money, war, tort reform, term limits, the War on Drugs and the War on Poverty. Does it not make sense to first focus on the few things in which we agree and then circle back to the numerous head-butting issues t...
Ep. 58 - The Truth About Mass Shootings
August 11, 2019 00:10 - 23 minutes - 26.2 MBAs I record this episode, we are living through the aftermath of two mass shootings – one at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Texas and one in the entertainment district in Dayton, Ohio. The reaction from the Left is as expected. Blame the NRA, blame rhetoric, blame guns, blame a perceived bias in society, blame everyone and everything except the shooters. The Left has, yet again demonstrated themselves to be political opportunists disguised as compassionate onlookers. Their condemnation discriminati...
Ep. 57 - The Truth About Free Stuff
August 03, 2019 13:21 - 17 minutes - 18.9 MBI have to be honest, I am more than a little embarrassed that I felt compelled to publish this episode. How did we get to a place in America where people fall for the “free stuff” chant from politicians? It wasn't long ago that the majority of Americans would have laughed in the face of a politician that offered them something for nothing? Instead we are faced with an entire political party whose most persuasive argument for voting for them is, to some extent or another, to make promises to...
Ep. 56 - The Truth About Libra - Facebook's Cryptocurrency
July 27, 2019 13:14 - 19 minutes - 22.6 MBFacebook’s recent congressional testimony before the House Financial Services Committee regarding their proposed cryptocurrency, Libra, caught my attention. It got me wondering: where in the Constitution does it grant the federal government the power to regulate a cryptocurrency or a social media platform? I posed that question on the Truth Quest Facebook Fan Page and immediately started researching this episode. The truth is that cryptocurrencies in general and the Libra specifically pose ...
Ep. 55 - The Truth About Freedom From Religion
July 20, 2019 17:37 - 25 minutes - 28.6 MBI came across an article about a lawsuit brought by the Freedom From Religion Foundation against an Ohio middle school over their display of the Ten Commandments, a gift from the Class of 1926. As I read through the FFRF's press release, I grew more and more confused and irritated. Among other things, they applauded "the district for taking action to remedy this violation." That word, "violation" struck my curiosity but it only took two sentences later to find out what they were referring to...

Ep. 54 – The Truth About the Citizenship Question on the Census
July 16, 2019 13:38 - 7 minutes - 8.65 MBRecently the Supreme Court issued an opinion regarding the Trump Administration’s effort to put a citizenship question on the 2020 census. We've been told by leading Democrats that the inclusion of the question is an effort to marginalize minorities, scare immigrants and, as Nancy Pelosi said, “making America white again.” But what is the truth (and history) of this question and the census?

Ep. 53 - The Truth About Earnings Disparity in Professional Soccer
July 13, 2019 22:50 - 8 minutes - 9.22 MBIn Episode #41, I covered the truth about the gender pay gap and refuted the often-cited statistic that women earn $0.77 on the dollar that men earn for the same work. Suffice it to say, I thought I was done with this topic but over the last month, during the women’s World Cup soccer tournament, we have been inundated with news commentary, articles, and social justice sermons disguised as ESPN Sports Center episodes on earnings disparity in professional soccer. So now I am forced to jump...
Ep. 52 - The Truth About English Soccer Play-by-Play Commentary
July 06, 2019 21:12 - 15 minutes - 17.4 MBRegular listeners know that, on occasion, I go off the beaten path of politics, public policy and Christian apologetics and cover seemingly random topics. This episode falls in that category. I have been watching English Premier League soccer for about four years now. During that time, I found myself intrigued by the colorful language used by the British play-by-play commentators as they described the flow of the game, its players, the fans, penalties, rivalries, and the nuances of the game...
Ep. 51 - The Truth About Immigrant Children in Cages at the Border
July 01, 2019 00:30 - 8 minutes - 9.31 MBIt seems like, in order to be a national Democrat in good standing, you must invoke the battle cry "Trump is keeping immigrant children in cages at the border!"
