Ep 40 | The Injustice of Believing All Women
Graham Allen of CRTV's Rant Nation joins me to talk about the insanity of the "believe all women" mantra being repeated by the Left in opposition to Brett Kavanaugh. We discuss the scariness of raising kids in a world without the presumption of innocence, where people are tried in the court of public opinion, and  where an accuser's word is final, while the accused's life is ruined.  Copyright CRTV.

Ep 38 | Before Believing Kavanaugh's Accuser
Today we're told that unless we unconditionally believe the woman who accuses a man of sexual assault, we're misogynists. In reality, that theory is unjust. Instead, we should always be in an earnest pursuit of truth. On this episode, I discuss the complexities of the latest Kavanaugh drama and unpack possible conclusions.  Copyright CRTV.

On Tuesday, we talked about the paradox of likability as it pertains to politics and the Republican Party.

Ep 34 | The Paradox of Likability
If there's one thing conservatives generally lack, it's likability. Democrats and socialists have put forth their most affable candidates for the midterms, while Republicans are falling short, and we won't like the consequences. Likability isn't everything, though. It's a double-edged sword that must be wielded wisely. A Q&A section will end the episode.  Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved.

The second is the president's success in helping the black community by growing the economy, on which I receive insight from radio host Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. Then ... one thing I don't get.

Ep 20 | The Myth of Self-Love
"You can't love others until you love yourself." "Just pursue what makes you happy." These are the ubiquitous mantras of our day, encouraging us to ditch the "bad vibes" and do whatever makes us feel good about ourselves and our lives. The problem is that's not biblical. I'll explain why self-love isn't Christlike and how Christians, according to the Bible, are supposed to view ourselves.  Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved.
