Boone Cutler: Wounded Warrior to Healing Light
Tonight we are speaking about a true luminary in the world of veteran’s affairs. Boone Cutler is an author who has become the first nationally recognized on-air personality who is also a Warfighter from the current war. Boone approached a Fox News Radio with the concept of a new show that focuses on national and international events based on the veteran perspective. His raw paratrooper, no-holds-barred style has become a hit over the airwaves with everyone from soccer moms to his fellow Warfighters that are still deployed in combat zones worldwide. Did you know America currently loses at least twenty-three Warfighters to suicide everyday? In 2010, Boone founded the National Warfighter Symposium to bring attention to Warfighter issues like the alarming Warfighter Suicide and homeless rate. In 2012, Boone was diagnosed with Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease secondary to a blast-injury in Iraq and is currently starting to campaign for more awareness on the issue. Be sure to tune into “Tipping Point with Boone Cutler" weekly for the Warfighter Perspective.

Richard Rothstein: The Making of Ferguson and it's Impact on American's
In Baltimore in 1910, a black Yale law school graduate purchased a home in a previously all-white neighborhood. The Baltimore city government reacted by adopting a residential segregation ordinance, restricting African Americans to designated blocks. Explaining the policy, Baltimore’s mayor proclaimed, “Blacks should be quarantined in isolated slums in order to reduce the incidence of civil disturbance, to prevent the spread of communicable disease into the nearby White neighborhoods, and to protect property values among the White majority.” Richard Rothstein is a Research Associate of the Economic Policy Institute, a Senior Fellow of the Chief Justice Earl Warren Institute on Law and Social Policy at the University of California (Berkeley) School of Law, a Contributing Editor of The American Prospect, and an occasional contributor.
