Comedian and SNL alum Norm MacDonald recently passed away after a battle with cancer. Norm was a trailblazer for his brand of deadpan comedy and unwilling to abandon his comedic instincts, which is tough in today’s “safe safe” unfunny culture. I explore Norm’s comedy and his own philosophical and surprisingly spiritual ethos and convictions. Hosted…
Larry Nassar and Corrupt Institutions
Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee had a hearing with U.S. Olympic gymnasts who described the major failure of the FBI to investigate team doctor Larry Nassar, and the failure of the Department of Justice to prosecute the compromised FBI agents. I talk about the loss of faith in the FBI and other major institutions….
Fall Football Is Freedom
Fall means football, and football means freedom—freedom to gather, to assemble, to have fellowship, and to have fun. That’s what we do here in America, even during more pandemic paranoia. I examine the tradition of football and how important it is, moving past the pandemic nightmare lockdown measures. Hosted by the two-time Emmy-nominated actor and…
A Personal Story From Tragedy to Blessings
I share the personal story of surviving a terrible car wreck that caused my father’s death. I recount all of the grace and blessings that I have noticed all along the way, and hope that I can impart some hope and inspiration to you. Hosted by the two-time Emmy-nominated actor and singer-songwriter Beau Davidson, The…
20 Years After 9/11: What Have We Learned?
Twenty years after the fateful tragedy and attack on Sept. 11, 2001, I reflect upon what we have learned as a country. I provide ten lessons that I think we have learned, or what we should have learned, since that tragic day. We should all take time to honor the fallen and remember who we…
Could ‘Sage From South Central’ Larry Elder Be California’s Saving Grace?
Larry Elder entered the California gubernatorial race pretty recently, but he’s making waves and making Gavin Newsom sweat in next week’s recall election. Could the wise “Sage From South Central” save a declining blue state that many are fleeing? Hosted by the two-time Emmy-nominated actor and singer-songwriter Beau Davidson, The Beau Show addresses issues affecting…
Piers Morgan Wins a Free Speech Victory, Now Enough With Being Offended
The UK’s Office of Communications (OFCOM) has cleared Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan of any wrongdoing when he expressed disbelief of Meghan Markle’s claims in her Oprah interview. This is a landmark victory for free speech in a country that should have taught us a thing or two about free speech, emphatically embossed in…
Fentanyl: Cheap, China-Sourced, and Catastrophic
On the heels of National Overdose Awareness Day, I examine the lethal drug fentanyl, which is killing many people as it gets laced into other illegal street drugs. It is cheap, it is sourced from China largely, and dealers are adding it to drugs like cocaine and heroin to enhance their effects, unbeknownst to users….
The Day the Music (And Musician) Died
Don McLean wrote about “the day the music died.” In Afghanistan, the Taliban have killed their own Don McLean, a folk singer named Fawad Andarabi, as they ban most forms of music and artistry. I use this terrible murder to draw some broader conclusions about the arts in developed, free societies. Hosted by the two-time…
The Atlantic Claims ‘Afghanistan Is Your Fault’; I’m Not So Sure
An op-ed in The Atlantic by Tom Nichols claims that Afghanistan’s failure is just another event in the lives of everyday, ordinary Americans who desired a withdrawal. I examine this op-ed for its wild claims, and dig into why the media is getting it wrong and how we must hold them accountable. Hosted by the…
