“Our rights come from God our Creator not from our laws not from our governments”. Does this statement cause you to fear? That’s what it evokes from U.S. Senator Tim Caine of Virginia and he said so out loud in the U.S. Senate. But doesn't the Declaration of Independence say that our rights come from God, not the government?  We discuss Kaine's Blunder this week on The Public Square®. 

This episode was recorded before September 10th and before the murder of Charlie Kirk, on September 11. David Zanotti, Chairman of The American Policy Roundtable®, spoke of Mr. Kirk's murder on Your Morning Show with Michael DelGiorno.

In 2023 the abortion industry began a campaign to take over portions of state constitutions and enshrine their agenda into state law. Now the LGBTQ+? community is attempting to do the same and all in time to alter the outcome of key races for Congress on the 2026 ballot. This national campaign has been launched in the state of Ohio and will soon be traveling across the country.

We turn the lights on this strategy and discuss the potential consequences on this episode of The Public Square®. Please join us for a perspective from the ground that you won't hear anywhere else in the American media.

Several states have "enshrined" abortion into their constitutions pretending that it is a natural right -- to kill an innocent unborn child for any reason. The results of this policy are morbid. The stories of death and injury to mothers are growing. This week we look at the state of Colorado where abortionists are escaping accountability, women are dying and citizens are forced to pay for abortions with their tax dollars. Is this America's future? 

Please be advised this conversation is not appropriate for children. Parental guidance is strongly advised.

The Front Steps is a true story of a boy who loved to read and so much more. 

This week we update the amazing journey of this new book coming to life and the wonderful response from across the country to The Front Steps and just in time as the occupants change at Pennsylvania Avenue. The speeches will be read, the Executive Orders filed, the resistance in Congress will begin and the Progressive Media will begin their four year climb to regain control of the Administrative State. This week we look at all of that from a seat on The Front Steps.

Grab a chair and listen in as we consider the true story of America as told from this childhood story of the life of Dr. William B. Allen. You won't hear this unique content and perspective anywhere but here on The Public Square®.

Professor Richard Dawkins and George Soros. Two names that have been influencing and in some cases dominating Western culture for a generation. Both names are in the news again this week. Is Professor Dawkins finally acknowledging that new atheism is actually more religion than science? And why would President Biden give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros? None of this is a coincidence. We connect the dots this week on The Public Square®.
