Lt Joe looks at the Smart Virus Covid-19 and how its amazing intelligence is keeping us under control via some strong handed governors. The theme of this episode is freedom and the role voting plays in our personal freedom. Then Lt Joe Looks at the state of our nation as the elections approach and how the two political parties are the same and are different at the same time, and what the differences mean to your life and the life of your family. And finally, Lt. Joe takes us on a fanciful journey into tomorrow as he imagines America after a non-violent civil war, a national divorce so to speak. What would it be like if we just separated without a fight, each group could have their own paradise, where would you live?
Has President Trump fooled us all into thinking he likes and respects the military? Some people are saying he has disparaged our dead service people, Lt Joe looks at the evidence and the source for the claims. What is the real difference between candidate Trump and candidate Biden? Why do we see VP candidate Kamala Harris answering press questions and making statements, but not Joe Biden? Who actually invented the light bulb? Joe Biden thinks he knows, is he right?

The streets of America are increasingly dangerous places for all of us. Rioters, Anti-Fa and the BLM movement are moving out of the cities and into residential neighborhoods. The threats are real and we all need to understand what can happen by simply going to the gas station. Kyle Rittenhouse is a 17 year old young man who finds himself at the center of a national conversation about self defense and the right to protect yourself with deadly force. Lt. Joe examines the video of the Kenosha shooting involving Kyle to try and add some context and understanding to the event. Was Kyle a murder as the media seems to think? Image: AP
The future is coming at us fast and furious. In a few months we make choices that will affect the next 20 plus years of our lives. How we choose between the positions of the left and the right is a uniquely individual process. Why do two people see thigs completely differently? The Democrats and the Republicans have their presidential conventions every 4 years, what messages do they each send to the American people and why are they so different? And finally, Lt. Joe pulls the facts together to give the situation some clarity on how we can decipher the messages our politicians send and how we can make choices that will make our country thrive!

Is mail-in voting a legitimate option for America in 2020? Is there fraud that can change an election result? Are there motivations for people to cheat, what’s the chances of cheating? If we look at the questions as an investigation, the answer is clear. Lt. Joe takes us through the investigation. We have a special guest this week, Lt. George Corbin, Lt Joe’s colleague in the “Blue Hearts Together” – an effort to help the police and communities they serve come together. Lt Joe and Lt George look closely at the relationship between our police officers and the various communities they police. These two veteran cops cover many of the tough topics in an effort to give you insight into the nature of the problem that exists between our cops and our communities and offer some solutions.

America is under siege from within and without; from forces we can see and some we cannot. Behind the scenes activities by America’s enemies, both foreign and domestic are hard at work changing our country into something we won’t recognize. The violence in the streets, the winds of political change are tearing us apart in ways we have never seen before. Lt Joe looks at these forces and how they are manifesting themselves in our daily lives. And finally, Lt Joe and Kathleen look at the attack on religion in the war on America.
This episode asks the question, “What is the value of Freedom”, does it have a place in our lives anymore or is it really a myth that we are free. Has the COVID-19 Pandemic and the rules and regulations associated with it taken away huge chunks of our freedom leaving us at the mercy of power-hungry politicians? What else has stripped our freedom from us? My guest this week is Jack Pangaro, my 17-year-old son. A very decent young man and a great American patriot. I explore the world of COVID-19 through his eyes as a young person dealing with the changes in our lives and the changes in how we conduct school affecting millions of young people. And finally, we look at the current state of politics and then the upcoming election for clues as to how our freedom will be treated going forward. Will we find ourselves empowered by the results of November 3rd or will we find our selves trapped in a socialist nightmare as our rights and watered down and the state decides what’s best for all of us.

The continuing turmoil and strife in America is a symptom of a greater set of forces we don’t see out front. The creep of socialism and communism is driving much of the events of the day. The message of equality and enlightenment needed in some areas of our national life have been hi-jacked by these forces behind the scene and the American people are confused, scared and unsure what is real and what is hype. Our media has betrayed us by taking sides and throwing us to the wolves of destruction. We live in an upside down, bizarro world where reality is pushed to the back to allow for a fake and fabricated reality to take its place. With the new baseball season, we have new questions about kneeling and patriotism. Will we ever find a way back to a united states or are we on a journey to a new place, a place we will not like at all. Don’t miss it!
Do we want our cops to enforce laws or just be present for major crimes? Do we want the media to be truthful, no matter what the truth is? What about our politicians, what can we do about them? All of this noise is deafening and making people crazy. This Week Lt Joe looks at the basic question, what do we want as Americans from our law enforcement officers, the politicians, the media and each other. And finally, what about the future as we approach the elections, will the result create greater chaos and violence or less, will we have fighting in the streets? Only time will tell, don’t miss this episode.
The concept of “Cooler heads prevailing” is a theme of this episode. Our country is in great turmoil and violence is erupting across the nation. One of the only ways we can survive is if the people with calm voices of reason can cut through the heated rhetoric. Lt. Joe looks at some people who have tried to do just that, if it works, it could save us. Can Prayer Help? It is an option and provides some hope, let’s see who’s praying for the USA. To lighten things up a bit we have a visit from our attorney of record Joe Pangaro Jr. Joe provides us with some light-hearted look at some crazy laws and court rulings as well as some insight into the General Flynn case situation. Lt. Joe walks us through some thoughts we need to consider about police community relations and how we can bridge the gap to serve all of our communities and support our police.
The idea of being a united people here in America seems to be getting further and further away every day. Riots in the streets, strife in our communities, destruction of our historical record and calls to transform our country into something other than a democratic republic is a call we can hear very loudly. Will we be able to change this pattern or are we on a slippery slope to a new reality? The change in how we view people’s choices and lifestyles has evolved over the years as we have become enlightened and more tolerant of differences, that is good. What can we do to make our nation stronger together? Do our politicians actually help us to come together or do they create the wedges to divide us for personal and ideological gain? Are our personal choices responsible for our place in the mosaic of the USA or is the system really against us?
“A Case for War” and how it applies to the things we are seeing take place in our streets today. Riots, anger, blood shed attacks on police officers and the fear of the mob all combine to raise our anxiety and the potential for a real hot conflict. Lt Joe runs through some details of his recent article on America Out Loud. The polls are saying President Trump is done, America has had enough and is longing for the calm reserved leadership of Joe Biden and a return to the normal of the Obama years? Could this be true? Are the polls right? Will President Trump walk away from election 2020 if he is not winning? The Anti- trump crowd thinks so. “A Moment in Time” is a new program Lt Joe and a friend are creating to address the concerns of the law enforcement community and the communities they serve. Is healing possible or is the chaos we see a portend of the future? Join the discussion!
As the chaos in our streets heats up and the conflict goes from rhetoric to threats of violence to actual violence, we know there is something wrong, we can all feel it. Is there a revolution pending as some have said or will this latest round of upheaval pass like a storm cloud? The seeds of dissension and anarchy have been sown and the crop is growing like a tumor on our national soul. Are we being pushed to the inevitable hot conflict on the streets of America? What side will each of us come down on? Are we ready to relent and accept socialism for the sake of peace or a least some version of a dystopian peace? There comes a time in the life cycle of all living things when moments of truth have to be faced. Has America reached that point? Lt. Joe walks us through the possibilities and choices we all must make in the coming days.
The defunding of the police seems like a popular idea to many Americans, but what would it look like if we changed the police mission and how they do their business. Lt. Joe offers us some possibilities that may seem absurd but are what some might consider proper. We look at the recent political upheavals including the “CHAZ” free zone in Seattle and the succeeding of that group from the nation. Is there really a silent majority of conservatives anymore or are we really now a good solid left country? How can we have conversations if that means one side has conceded that the other side is right before any talking can even occur? Is this thought process going to lead to the death of free speech, or has it already? Don’t miss it!
