Politics is very much in the news. Michael Ian Black has a long history writing and performing comedy. You may have seen him on the Comedy Channel, MTV or VH1. He’s partnered with Meghan McCain—that’s right, daughter of Senator John McCain—to pay tribute to America. We discuss the book titled America, You Sexy Bitch.
Guests include UCSB professor Doc Searls explaining the new era of consumerism; comedian Michael Ian Black extolling the freedoms we have in America; Rebecca Coffey helping us make sense of the Aurora, CO shooter John Holmes; gun control law expert John Lott, Jr. explaining his controversial theory of how more guns mean less crime; and Joyce Gioia commenting on a titanic shift in today’s workplace where older workers outnumber younger ones.
Captain John Coffee is a true American hero. He served our country during Vietnam and was taken prisoner for over 7 years in a North Vietnamese prison camp. During that time, he learned about survival. He teaches us what he’s learned from his book titled Beyond Survival.
