Ep. 195 - The Truth About the Empire of Lies

Russian President, Vladimir Putin, recently called the West an “Empire of Lies.” The more I reflected on this claim, the more I realized how true it is.
In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane from Abraham Lincoln to the present day revisiting dozens of flat-out lies, lies by omission as well as gaslighting and propaganda all pushed by our own government and the media that, rather than exposing these lies, often conceives and perpetuates them.

Ep. 136 - The Truth About Politically-Induced Mental Illness

Back in 2010 conservative talk show host Michael Savage published a book titled, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.” Over the years as I digested, dissected and analyzed the political arena and evaluated the policy prescriptions of the Left, I often remembered the title of his book and reflected that Savage might have been on to something.
In this episode, we examine several public policy prescriptions while asking the question, "what else besides politically-induced mental illness explains why people support and endorse these policies?"
We discuss: abortion, gender, energy, the environment, fiat currency, guns, law enforcement, the welfare state, immigration and much more.

Ep. 133 - The Truth About the Paris Climate Accord and Purposeful Ignorance

If ever a topic was ripe for The Truth Quest Podcast, it is the Paris Climate Accord. What makes it so perfect is the amount of virtue-signaling that it evokes which results in people breathlessly applauding its birth, raging over its death and celebrating its resurrection! All this joy and angst while basking in ignorance by ignoring the most important part of the story. . . the actual agreement and its consequences.

Ep. 114 - The Truth About Semantically Overloaded Political Sloganeering

Have you seen the latest virtue-signaling craze? The yard sign that reads: “In this house, we believe: Black Lives Matter; No Human is Illegal; Love is Love; Women’s Rights Are Human Rights; Science is Real; Water is Life; Injustice Anywhere Is a Threat to Justice Everywhere."
In this episode we unpack this type of semantically overloaded political sloganeering and ask quite a few relevant questions.

The purpose of this episode is, not only to summarize Ben Shapiro's book, How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps, but to help you recognize the agenda and tactics used by the Disintegrationists - as Shapiro calls those who wish to tear down America.

Ep. 71 - The Truth About the California Wildfires

Do you know how you can tell it's Fall, bordering on Winter? California is on fire! This annual event seems to fall on the heels of Oktoberfest and, we are being led to believe, that the problem is getting worse! Why? Well, of course, the sole reason for this repetitive event is . . . . climate change!
In this episode, we examine the validity of that claim and try to arrive at the truth about the California wildfires.

Ep. 59 - The Truth About What We Agree On

I don't know about you but sometimes I get tired of discussing all the areas where we disagree politically or on public policy issues. In this episode I attempt to focus on things that most of us agree on such as government spending, right-to-try laws, the surveillance state, sound money, war, tort reform, term limits, the War on Drugs and the War on Poverty.
Does it not make sense to first focus on the few things in which we agree and then circle back to the numerous head-butting issues that divide us?

Ep. 50 - The Truth About Party Over Principles

It bothers me immensely when politicians and talking heads propose intellectually lazy and dishonest policies that they know will do more harm than good. Then your friends, family and the faceless, and often nameless, folks on social media jump on the bandwagon. Their prescriptions are not based on principles (or so I thought) rather, they appear to be based on party (or group think).
I am no longer willing to cut these folks any slack because they can easily spend a few minutes on an Internet search and read multiple sides of any argument or policy. They can easily spend a few minutes trying to determine what the truth is.
Why then does this phenomenon exist? Why do those who subscribe to this form of public policy advocacy resort to low-ball tactics when it comes to the treatment of their ideological foes? You know: name-calling, violence, vilification, shutting down the speech of dissenters, mocking, de-platforming, boycotting, and censorship!
After much reflection and study, I believe these people are, indeed, principle-driven. That principle is winning - - - winning at all costs. Nothing else explains this behavior.
