The Civilization of Commerce_ Americans for Citizen Voting_ Root Causes_ & SBA Pro-Life America

Americans debate inflation, tariffs, corporate power, inequality, and whether capitalism is still delivering the American Dream. But Samuel Gregg asks a deeper question: Have we forgotten why a free commercial society matters in the first place? Gregg is president of the American Institute for Economic Research and an award-winning author of seventeen books, including The Next American Economy; he has written hundreds of articles and essays on economics, economic history, and political economy. Gregg is scheduled to join me to discuss his newest book, The Civilization of Commerce: Invisible Hands and the Pursuit of Happiness, and answer the questions he asks.

The federal judge who ruled against the law banning noncitizen voting has been cast as "an activist judge who went rogue." Judge David Leibowitz dismissed the federal criminal case against Chelsea Cox, a Jamaican citizen accused of voting in multiple elections between 2012 and 2020.

Jack Tomczak, VP of Outreach for Americans for Citizen Voting, says: "The judge is not an activist judge who went rogue. His ruling is correct." Jack is scheduled to join us to discuss why it's correct and what should be done to address the issue.

Broken families, a lack of strong role models, social media, and a culture that too often excuses bad behavior all deserve a closer look. John Koufos, a former criminal trial attorney who worked with the Trump administration on the First Step Act, is scheduled to join me to discuss why America's crime problem is about more than law enforcement.

With the razor-thin GOP majorities in both the House and Senate up for grabs on November 3rd, it's essential that Republican candidates boldly expose the extreme abortion agenda of the Democrats. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America commissioned Evolving Strategies to conduct the polling through randomized controlled trial testing on the effectiveness of three different abortion messages: the "attack" message, the "soft positive" message, and the "hard positive" message. The "attack" message — highlighting Democrat candidates' support for late-term elective abortions — was the most effective, shifting the Republican vote margin by 4.4 points.
