In yesterday's episode, we had a panel discussion on abortion. It was from largely pro-choice voices. I proposed a lot of their ideas to one of the leading voices in the pro-life movement, Alexandra DeSanctis. She is the author of the new book, "Tearning Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing."

Coming up in talk radio, abortion was the one topic never talked about, and this is the first episode on it in WAL's 1200 episode history. While I am pro-life, I wanted to understand where some of my pro-choice friends are coming from, and we hopefully modeled a respectful conversation for you. Tune in tomorrow for a pro-life perspective.

Joe Biden takes a lot of flack for high gas prices. Blame him on social media for them, and inevitably someone in the comments says the President has nothing to do with gas prices. Is this true? What causes gas prices to rise to historic rates? And what effect do diesel prices have on inflation?

I just keep getting angrier and angrier about the state of the world, and I feel like we have fewer options. What can we do? And what can this podcast do to help?

Congress and the President are considering proposals to cancel student debt. What is a solution to this crisis? Is it a crisis to begin with? And how carefully are lawmakers considering relief and the tradeoffs that follow. Young Voices contributors Jack Salmon and Sean Themea join me.

Social media and talk hosts have recently shared the blame for mass shootings, but these outlets are not the progenitor of ideas like the Great Replacement Theory. They're exploiting the numbers built in darker corners of the internet. While this aired on March 20th, 2019, the information is still sadly as relevant today as it was after the New Zealand shooting. Harry Price and James Nease join me. Nease was one of the first people on 4Chan, and has been a moderator since its beginning. He explains the culture of what the media is mislabeling the "far right." We also discuss the alienation of young men in today's society and what steps we can take to bring people out of isolation and into healthy communities.

We've long talked about social media companies being the lesser censor and turning to the greater censor, the government, to fix the issues with these platforms would be a disaster for free speech. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration is setting up a “Disinformation Governance Board." What could possibly go wrong? We also touch on Elon Musk buying Twitter. We also witness the debut of "Hot Take Harry."

I got a C in economics in high school economics, so I am no help in explaining what caused our current inflation, how to fix it, and when rising prices will subside.

Dr. Travis Corcoran wrote a new book called Restoring Reason, and I love the concept. He talks about the Trivium, which is a system of thinking through concepts. The first three pillars of a liberal arts education are grammar, logic, and rhetoric. In other words, capturing knowledge, thinking it through, and then communicating those ideas. How can a systematic approach to information help us combat the discombobulating cascade of information we deal with on a daily basis? Listen as we outline it.

The main reason? We are winning and we can't take our foot off the pedal now.

Her country was founded in 1991 after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, and has been in the constant push and pull of the West and Russia's sphere of influence. She gives us some perspective on life in this position as well as the growing concern in her nation about Putin's militarism.
