Episode 24 | The Pro-Life Proposition
02/28/22 • 22 min
Today's episode will lay out a comprehensive pro-life argument for the 21st century. We'll focus on our current understanding of embryology, bio-ethics, abortion as a civil rights issue, and how we can properly define what it means to be a member of the human family.
If you already agree with the pro-life proposition and are searching for arguments to defend your position, this episode is for you. If you are on the fence, yet curious to know if there is more to the issue than what is projected in the media, this episode is for you.
I hope you find this episode helpful, informative, and heartfelt.

Episode 23 | Flatten The Curve | Life After Covid Part II
This is the second installment of "Flatten the Curve | Life After Covid" which was recorded in May of 2020. I took another listen to that episode with a fresh set of ears and came to the immediate conclusion that I was dead wrong on some predictions and incredibly naive on others. I was hopeful we would use the pandemic to restore trust in our institutions and create a strong sense of national identity. On this episode I lay out the pivotal moment when Covid messaging was lost and credibility never recovered.. This episode will bring the fire to the White House, CDC, Mainstream Media, and Big Tech.

Episode 25 | The Gender Pay Gap Conundrum
Today's episode is called the "10-minute download." A quick and concise analysis of a popular topic that many in the general public have gotten wrong. The gender wage gap discussion has been going on for decades. We've been told that women make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Is that statement true? False? Incomplete?
Is there a gender wage gap? Are women paid less than men to do the same work? If that were the case, wouldn't companies simply hire a larger proportion of women and save nearly 20- 25% on the bottom line?
The "pay gap" is actually an "earnings gap" and the reason for this gap is primarily due to individual choices. Not sexism or discrimination. When individual choices are taken into consideration, the gap nearly vanishes.
This episode is intended to provide a spark to research this issue further. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to rate the podcast!
