What lessons can be learned from the election results? What do these results tell us about the popularity of Biden's policies? About the American people's reaction to Critical Race Theory and other Leftist claims? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

Terry McAuliffe, candidate for Governor of Virginia, says parents should not tell schools what to teach their children. Some school boards label dissenting parents "domestic terrorists," and want them expelled from school board meetings. Joe Biden wants the FBI to investigate these parents as possible "domestic terrorists." Are we witnessing a war against parents who merely want to assert control over the education of their children? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will discuss this controversial issue on "Truth in Culture in Politics."

By means of which irrational policies did federal and/or state governments undermine the supply chain? And how do we fix this mess? Economist Dr. Richard Salsman, author of "Where Have All the Capitalists Gone?' joins Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin to examine these questions.

There is so much to discuss regarding books, films, music, pop culture, politics, and more. Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will conduct a free-wheeling discussion on myriad topics--and invite questions and comments from the audience. These kinds of shows are always fun!

Perhaps the most exciting, important, and positive development in the world today is the privatization of space exploration and the race between brilliant entrepreneurs to explore the solar system--and, eventually, the stars. What are the great benefits that will follow from the new space race? What obstacles must be overcome? What objections might be raised to private attempts to explore and colonize other worlds? This is the exciting topic to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin on the next episode of "Truth in Culture and Politics."

White supremacists are evil, they are still around, and they must be combated. But in 2021, how prevalent is this phenomenon? How widespread is the danger? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin plunge into the thickets of research in search of white supremacists and discuss their findings.

Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin conduct a freewheeling discussion of cultural and political trends--and answer questions from the audience. This will be a lively, fun, and wide-ranging discussion on a multitude of current topics.

Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin discuss the 9/11 atrocity, 20 years later.

The Objectivist rapper, entertainer, and Renaissance Man--the gifted Rucka Rucka Ali--joins us to discuss this question. The thinking expressed by the hosts of this show is generally: 1. Trump is a morally flawed hero 2. Religious conservatives are a mixed case 3. The Left is evil. Rucka will challenge these beliefs--and a spirited but respectful discussion of today's most pressing political questions will ensue. This will be political talk podcasting at its most compelling.

The FBI finally acknowledged that it does not have the evidence to claim that the January 6th events were an insurrection. It took them more than seven months to realize what to millions of Americans was obvious from the start--that it was a riot. How is this possible? What is wrong with the FBI--and with our intelligence community more broadly? These are the questions that Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will discuss on Truth in Politics.

As the Left rams its destructive agenda down the throats of Americans, conservatives increasingly blame the Democrats' failures on secularism, on a lack of God. Will America undergo a powerful religious backlash against the Left's vicious insanity? For many years, the brilliant philosopher, Leonard Peikoff, has warned that religion is the gravest long-term threat to American liberty. In the near and long-term future, will we see a groundswell of religion posturing as the only protection against the brutal anti-Americanism of the Left? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, if American citizens oppose "COVID measures"--or uphold claims of election fraud and/or belief that Trump can be re-instated--or believe (something unstated) about "9/11 anniversary and religious holidays," this makes them "terror threats." The first two of these claims are manifest drivel and the third is incoherent. What are the purpose(s) of such vicious tripe? Why does the Biden Administration seek to label dissenters as "terror threats"? And what will the Administration do to such potential "terrorists"? These are the questions that Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will discuss and answer on "Truth in Politics."

The mayhem at the Capitol on January 6th was clearly unjustifiable criminal violence. But was it an insurrection, as Leftists claim--or was it a riot? What are the facts as we know them? Why does the government not release many hours of security camera footage? Were Leftist terrorists involved in instigating the violence? Was the FBI involved? Seven months later, why has no one been charged with insurrection? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

"New York Times" reporter, Katie Benner, recently tweeted and then retracted the claim that Trump supporters are "enemies of the state" and should be treated as "national security threats." Is this claim accurate? Perhaps 70 million Trump supporters believe that Biden voters are "enemies of the state." If they do, is that claim truthful? Or, conversely, is it morally wrong and politically volatile to treat millions of supporters of either major party as "national security threats?" If so, why? These are the questions to be discussed at 8 pm ET tonight by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

Do adult citizens of a free society have an inalienable right to voluntarily ingest any substance they want? Do they have the right to possess and/or sell such substances? Or should the government be granted the power to coercively restrain adult individuals from doing so? Ayn Rand showed us that the moral is the practical--and, conversely, the immoral is the impractical. If we end the war on drugs, will this disenfranchise violent drug gangs in our major cities? Will it significantly reduce the homicide rate in America? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

It is widely known that American universities are dominated by Leftist dogma. What happens to those students sufficiently independent to challenge the orthodoxy? What fate befalls those who stand up in support of capitalism, America, and color blind individualism? Are they encouraged to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy? Are they punished by Leftist professors and administrators? Are they intimidated into silence? Peter Seferian, an exceptionally intelligent recent college graduate, joins Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin to discuss these important questions.

Capitalism has brought unparalleled freedom and prosperity to billions of human beings around the world. Yet it is under ceaseless attack from intellectuals, moralists, and Leftist politicians. What will it take for capitalism to survive? What are the essential points to be made in its defense? Why does socialism, despite manifest and egregious failures, still attract intellectual, moral, and political support? The accomplished economist, Dr. Richard Salsman, author of the new book, "Where Have All The Capitalists Gone?" joins Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin on "Truth in Politics" to discuss these provocative questions.

The U.S. government has not yet legally quashed freedom of speech. But Leftist intellectuals, journalists, and entrepreneurs outside of government engage in cancel culture to suppress the dissemination of ideas inimical to Leftist orthodoxy. Private individuals and companies are doing the dirty work that Leftist politicians like AOC speak of but cannot yet legally do. This is privatized Leftist thought suppression. What are the myriad instances of it? Above all, how should freedom-loving individuals properly fight it? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

Some professionals in the field of psycho-therapy claim that whiteness is a form of mental illness that leads inevitably to predatory behavior against non-whites. Is this true? Or is this claim, in and of itself, a profoundly racist slur? This sort of belief is becoming widespread on the Left. Do Leftists sincerely seek to remediate racism--or are they themselves the worst examples of it? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will discuss the philosophy underlying this claim, and its real-world consequences.

Israel is a bastion of reason and freedom in a desert of Islamic irrationality and dictatorship. Hamas and her other jihadist enemies are murderous savages. Israel has an unimpeachable right to defend itself against murderous assault. Yet, as soon as she does, Leftist creatures around the world crawl from under their rocks to verbally abuse her. Why? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will establish Israel's impeccable moral right to self-defense and explain that, how, and why Leftists hate the only civilized nation in the Middle East.

One aspect of current Leftist orthodoxy is the claim that racism requires the power to systemically persecute an ethnic minority, and is not possible by members of a minority. Is this accurate? So when a non-white psychiatrist gives a lecture at Yale titled "The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind," in which she states that white people are "out of their minds," that "there are no good apples [among whites] out there," and that "white people make my blood boil," this is not racism. Nor is it racism when she says that she had "fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any White person that got in my way." What is racism? Are members of ethnic minorities capable of it? If, driven by racial hatred, she acted out this violent fantasy, would that be racist? Dr. Aaron Briley joins Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin to discuss this life-and-death issue.

Marxist intellectuals, "woke" corporations, Democratic politicians, and the Leftist media endorse totalitarian policies. They fire workers for criticizing Leftist orthodoxy, call for government agencies to regulate "misinformation" on social media, report only what supports a socialist agenda, and lie repeatedly about current issues. Dr. Nora Dimitrova-Clinton will join us for this show. She holds a Ph.D. in Classics from Cornell University, she grew up in Communist Bulgaria, and she is a freedom-loving American patriot. Andrew Bernstein, Bosch Fawstin, and Dr. Dimitrova-Clinton will discuss the baleful similarities between current Leftist policies and life under Communism. Do American Leftists really seek to turn the U.S. into a North American version of Venezuela? That is our topic.

The venomous racism of "woke" mentalities has deeply penetrated American business, education, culture, and sports. Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin explore how the new racism has poisoned our culture, and the steps we must take to combat--and defeat--its pernicious influence.

Andrew Gutman pulled his young daughter out of the Brearley School, an exclusive all-girls prep school in New York City, because of its vicious racist indoctrination of students. He penned a brilliant letter to other parents, decrying the overt racism of the school's "educational" policies. Will this be the start of rational human beings, sick to their hearts of the Left's psychopathology, standing up to take a principled moral stand in support of individualism and against racism in all of its hideous iterations? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will conduct an intensive examination of this urgent issue.

Many people realize that government (public) schools are terrible. But what are the exact problems? From where in our culture do they arise? Can they be fixed? Mike Gustafson is a former government school teacher. He and his wife now run their own flourishing private school. He is our guest this week as we attempt to answer these questions.
