“Ice Age, Nuclear Winter or Frozen Abstractions, Which Will Ice You First?” Tonight at 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT)

Given this week’s news, it’s hard to decide what poses the biggest threat to our lives: the recently predicted solar-induced ice age, the nuclear winter that may result from the “deal” with Iran, or our government agencies’ (and media’s) inability properly to identify and prioritize threats to our safety and security, whether at home or abroad. These issues and more, to be discussed on tonight’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

Is the “USA Freedom Act” Pro-Freedom? Tonight at 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT)

The “USA Freedom Act” passed and was signed into law this week, over the objection of some notable pro-privacy, pro-freedom politicians (Rand Paul and Justin Amash among others). Are their concerns well-founded? This and more on tonight’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.
