Saturdays 8-10 AM
>Please take time to get on our
Mailing List
3-27-03 There has been much speculation
about the economic effect of this war on the U.S. economy. We
will have a guest tomorrow night (Thursday) who will discuss the
realities of the war and our economy. Ron Johansson, is a senior
partner in New Horizons Corporate Advisors.
Mr. Johansson has tremendous
credentials in economics and finances. He has been a partner in some
of the largest financial firms in the world. We will go into greater
detail on his background during the show.
This may be one of the most
educational segments we have ever done. Flee from the shadows of
ignorance and bask in the light of knowledge. This segment will be
entertaining as well as informative. Would we do it any other way?
That is Thursday evening around
8pm.
We will be taking calls from
listeners.
3-12-03 Lori Pearson on as guest to discuss her website for parents, www.kidsinmind.com Kidsinmind.com is a site for parents and others who like to
be aware of the content of movies before they see them. They present
reviews of the movies in a non-judgemental way; they don't tell you
if a movie is good or bad for you, they tell you what it contains.
For example, they list the nature of sexual content and count the
F-words for you. They also talk about subject matter so you can stay
away from movies which you might not realize have things you might
be sensitive
to.
3-10-03 Elmore as a guest on your show and promoting The Hunted and Sayoc Kali. I thought the exchange was good and it afforded some good discussion as it relates to knives, self-defense and practicality of bladed applications. We took several pictures and the one attached came out best.
Ken's wife, Laurie Goldberg who is the Executive Vice President of Public Relations for the Cartoon Network on as guest as well. 2-5-03 Kenn Blanchard will our guest, and a speaker at CounterAttack 2003 this weekend. For more information, please visit his website at http://www.blackmanwithagun.com/ 2-4-03 Clayton Cramer from http://www.claytoncramer.com/weblog/blogger.html will be on as guest. Broadly speaking, he is a conservative with libertarian sympathies (getting more conservative as his children get older). He's written a number of history books, as well as scholarly and popular articles, (see his web page). 12-14-03 Our guest this week is super
important to hear from.
Dr. Jackie Carrigan, California
State University, author of the study mentioned here: http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/story/5525007p-6504128c.html
She has authored a study on the
link between drug use and violence. This issue should be of concern
for all of us and the truth should be sought whether you use
or abuse drugs or whether you are completely abstinent. Like
alcohol, smart people should understand the risks associated with
their behavior. So tune in for this and more on this week's
show.
Also I will be teaching the CHL
class at the gun range this week. I don't know if there are any
openings left, but call DFW Gun Range, #214-630-4866 to sign
up.
And don't forget to tune in to
the Cigar Show which starts the testostreone hours at 4pm Saturdays
on our station, KYNG 105.3FM.

7-14-02 Judith Levine, author of the new book, "Harmful to Minors" (University of Minnesota Press). I am including some reviews of her new book. She sounds like a perfect guest for our show. From the
Boston Phoenix;
JUDITH
LEVINE is one of a rare species — she's an
independent scholar and journalist who publishes in mainstream venues such as the Village Voice,Nerve.com, and Ms, and who, unlike many in the academy, writes clearly and with great force. Already noted for her 1992 book My Enemy, My Love: Man-Hating and Ambivalence in Women’s Lives (Doubleday), Levine is a social activist and public intellectual who believes passionately that ideas matter. from the
Village Voice,
The New York
Times explained the witch-hunting of Levine by her book's
release in the midst of the Catholic Church's explosive sexual abuse
scandal. From a publicist's perspective, at least, the timing has
been a boon; Levine's footnoted, scholarly work made it up to No. 25
on the Amazon.com bestseller list and has just gone into a
20,000-copy second printing. But what's so frustrating about the
hysteria (aside from giving groups like the conservative Family
Institute an excuse to host press conferences with lurid titles like
"Pedophilia Book") is that it obscures Levine's astute analysis of
what's gone wrong between adults and children in the U.S.
Drawing on social science and history, Levine makes a strong case that the denial of sexuality is the true cause of harm to minors. The book uses most of its 300 pages to detail the mounting anxiety over sex play between children, the restriction of youth access to the Internet, and a blackout on critical sexual information in the name of government-funded abstinence education. But Levine might just as well have focused on abusive priests. "If I wanted to design a historically accurate, long-term study to prove the point of my book, [the subject] would be the Catholic Church," the author sighed wearily across the phone lines from California. In the
section that secured her a central spot on the right's radar, Levine
teases apart the disproportionately large spot the pedophile
occupies in the American psyche. She doesn't deny that strangers
sometimes rape children ("I can't believe I've had to clarify that,"
said the exasperated author), but points out that such crimes are
far more often committed by family members. Levine describes the
obsession with pedophiles as stemming both from a reluctance to
confront incest and the rampant sexualization of children throughout
the culture. Rather than focus on ourselves, she says, adults
"project that eroticized desire outward, creating a monster to hate,
hunt down, and punish."
And
while her criticisms of statutory-rape laws, say, are astute (she
points out that age-of-consent laws originated to protect girls'
virginity as their fathers' property and now define sex as
nonconsensual solely on the basis of age), her own sexy camp tale,
told this week in the Voice, is worth several such tightly
reasoned analyses. "Jake," the 26-year-old embodiment of the gray
areas in sexual relations, photographed a 14-year-old Levine with
her shirt off. As she tells it, the experience was thoroughly
enjoyable, though today such an encounter has been made all but
impossible by the panic over sexual predators.
Levine does write about young children's sexual pleasure through masturbation and touch, though, defending the exploration of their bodies as natural and—gasp!—good. Perhaps the saddest chapter details how adult discomfort with children's sex play has, in some cases, turned kids' curiosity into pathology and crime, with hundreds of juvenile sex offender programs springing up to accommodate this new "epidemic." Levine tells of Tony Diamond, an unfortunate nine-year-old who was diagnosed with a sexual behavior problem and made to live in a foster home after touching his younger sister's genitals and poking her butt cheek with a pencil. Other kids caught up in the punitive mania include a 13-year-old boy accused of rubbing against his sister, and an eight-year-old girl who sent a note to a classmate asking if he wanted to be her boyfriend. She
chews out sex educators for adopting new
blend-in-with-the-conservatives names for their curricula like
"abstinence plus" and "abstinence-based." She criticizes the
nonprofit Sexual Information and Education Council of the U.S.—a
frequent target of the right—for recommending that parents intervene
if they stumble on their five-year-old consensually touching his
friend's penis. (Better just to have "no reaction at all.") Even
Planned Parenthood has apparently been running scared. Levine says
the group's pamphlet "Birth Control Choices for Teens" originally
contained a list of "outercourse" options, including reading
erotica, fantasizing, and role play. But the racy suggestions were
later deleted, and while the sanitized version was distributed,
according to Levine, the contraband copies were burned.
6-2-02 Our guest this week is
John Shanks, Associate Director of
The Law Enforcement Relations Staff at the Brady Center. He is
in San Antonio and was a policeman there for 20
years. 5-26-02 Special guest this
week is John Lott, author and a
senior researcher at the Yale Law School.
John Lott had no
personal experience with firearms, aside from one day of riflery in
summer camp when he was 12. That fact did not stop a reviewer of
Lott's 1998 book, "More Guns, Less Crime" (University of
Chicago Press), from labeling him a "gun nut." Writing
in The American Prospect, Edward Cohn also identified Lott as
"a leading loon of the Chicago School of economics, known for its
ultra-market ideology." Lott, now a senior research scholar at Yale
Law School, used to be the John M. Olin Law and Economics Fellow at
the University of Chicago. Analyzing 18 years of data for more than
3,000 counties, Lott found that violent crime drops
significantly when states switch from discretionary permit policies,
which give local officials the authority to determine who may carry
a gun, to "shall issue" or "right-to-carry" laws, which require that
permits be granted to everyone who meets certain objective criteria.
The 41-year-old economist, who earned his Ph.D. at UCLA, has
published papers on a wide variety of topics, including professional
licensing, criminal punishment, campaign finance, and public
education. Last summer he published "Are Predatory Commitments
Credible? "(University of Chicago Press), a skeptical look at
theories of predatory pricing, and he is working on a book about the
reputational penalties faced by criminals, a longstanding interest.
In addition to his positions at Yale and the University of Chicago,
Lott has served as chief economist at the U.S. Sentencing Commission
and taught at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania, among other
schools. He lives in Swarth-more, Pennsylvania, with his wife and
four children.
