Islam is not a religion of peace. Because of its fundamental teachings, It is a religion of war and conquest. Robert Spencer, an expert in this field, explains how and why this is so.

Robert Spencer, noted Islam scholar, joins us to discuss the war against Western Civilization fought by jihadists and their secular allies on the Left. This will be a brutally honest dissection of those who seek to destroy freedom and civilization--and of what rational human beings can do about it.

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.

Leftists utterly control American intellectual culture. They hate capitalism, seek to destroy it and replace it with socialism. Indeed they move regressively toward Communism. Does capitalism have a future? Mark Da Cunha, editor and publisher of "capitalismmagazine.com, joins Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin to discuss this critical question.

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.

Leftists are maniacally fixated on white supremacy as the gravest threat to the republic. But if we go by facts, not propaganda, how widespread is this pernicious phenomenon? How dangerous is it to American lives and liberty? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will honestly investigate and answer these questions.

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.

Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin defend freedom of intellectual expression and individual rights more broadly. They stand up as implacable foes of liberty's most egregious enemies. This week, they host Attorney Todd Albanesi to objectively examine the question: Is there evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election?

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 discuss the importance of defending free speech, and taking a moral stand against Censorship, AOC, and the regressive ideologies of modern politics in America.

Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin interview Dr. Jason Hill, philosophy professor at DePaul University in Chicago. The topics: The transgender insanity, Dr. Hill's battle with academic cancel culture regarding this issue, and, more broadly, the Left's ongoing attempts to stifle all intellectual dissent. For anyone concerned with freedom of speech and of intellectual expression, these are immensely important issues.

No rational case for abortion rights can be made in the absence of the principle of individual rights. Leftists, who reject individualism for collectivism, make a very weak case for the right to abortion. Conservatives, who profess to embrace individual rights regarding other issues, reject it in this case. What is the rational case for the right to abortion? What are the errors of the anti-abortion side? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin address these questions on "Truth in Culture and Politics."

Distinguished actor Mark Pellegrino joins us to detail his life in Hollywood, any exciting developments in TV and/or film, and the general state of the culture. Join us--because this will be fun!

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.

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.

Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin will interview James Valliant, co-author of "Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity." The questions: What is the actual provenance of the world's most popular religion? Is the conventional view mistaken? Was Christianity actually developed by the Roman state to pacify fanatically rebellious Jews? This will be a fascinating discussion of a boldly original and controversial claim regarding Christianity's genesis.

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."

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.

Leftist hysteria regarding the "insurrection" of January 6, 2021 never ends. And yet, more than a year later, none of the perpetrators have been charged with insurrection. Why? What is an insurrection? Do the perpetrators of the 1/6/21 event meet the criteria? What, in justice, should be done with them? What is the truth about this event? And is the Leftist portrayal of it nothing but a riot of lies? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

Professor Bradley Thompson of Clemson University pulls no punches regarding the need to abolish government (public) schools and utterly privatize the field of education. As our guest on Truth In Politics, he will explain why government schools are an irremediable failure, why they cannot be fixed, and why they must be abolished and replaced by private education in diverse forms.

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.

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

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.

"Top Gun: Maverick" is more than just an exciting US Navy thriller. It is a significant event in the culture wars. It celebrates America and heroism; additionally, it repudiates toxic leftism and glorifies testosterone-coursing masculinity. In so doing, it has the triumphant feel of a John Wayne Western, where the good guys always pound the bad guys to a frazzle. What does its box office success tell us about the American people's craving for heroism? What does the box office failure of "woke" Hollywood films tell us about the American people's attitude toward leftist propaganda? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin discuss these culture war questions on our next show.

The essence of America is individualism. Therefore, the "great American novel" necessarily focuses on this theme. No novel has ever done this as brilliantly as Ayn Rand's epic, "The Fountainhead." It features one of the great heroes in world literature--Howard Roark; the most complex heroine--Dominique Francon; the most nefarious villain--Ellsworth Toohey; one of the great tragic figures--Gail Wynand; and a superb foil--Peter Keating. From these characters, Rand builds a sizzling conflict that perfectly dramatizes a profoundly life-giving theme: Individualism versus collectivism, not in politics but in men's souls. Join us on "Truth in Culture and Politics" when we discuss this superlative work of literary art.
