Title: Mandated Sick Leave Comes to Austin
Topic: Government Control
Discussed by Bryan Mathew
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
The Austin City Council has mandated that every business in the city
offer paid sick leave to workers. Is this a good or bad policy?
New guest, Bryan Mathew, is a Policy Analyst with the Texas Public Policy
Foundation. He says: “Companies and workers should be free to negotiate
the employment arrangements that work best for them, not be forced to comply
with a government mandate.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does the new sick-day government mandate affect every business inside Austin
city limits? Short answer: YES. Listen as Bryan Mathew offers
more details…
How many sick days are allowed? br />
Can each individual business design their own rules and regulations regarding
what information employees must provide the “prove” they are sick?
Does this new mandate add extra costs to small business owners?
Can employees complain to the City of Austin if they think they are being
treated unfairly regarding this new mandate?
Can the Texas Legislature try to put a stop to this?
Why is a free market approach to employment the best option – for both the
employer and the employee?

Title: Heed the Warnings from History
Topic: Government Control
Discussed by Dr. Calvin Beisner
with Cornwall Alliance (www.CornwallAlliance.org)
Part 1 of 2
Does our government need a “Ministry of Truth” like that
warned of in George Orwell’s “1984”? Are the Fundamental liberties of free speech and free press, which are guaranteed by the First Amendment, in jeopardy?
In 2009, the left-wing website Talking Points Memo provocatively asked, “At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers?” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. called coal companies “criminal enterprises” who’s CEOs “should be in jail … for all of eternity.” Guest Dr. Calvin Beisner is the Founder and National Spokesman of the
Cornwall Alliance and a former Associate Professor of Historical Theology and Social Ethics at
Knox Theological Seminary. He reminds us that last year Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island, called for a similar action to be taken against climate skeptics. One more reason to elect the “right” people into office!
Dr. Beisner goes on to compare litigation against tobacco companies “misleading the public” to the “crimes” committed by climate skeptics. He says, “The analogy is completely absurd.” Listen in as he explains that there are an abundant of unanswered questions regarding “man-caused global warming”. Therefore no one can be – or should be – persecuted for not conforming to the left’s mandates!
Tune in to the next segment as Dr. Calvin Beisner discusses Free Speech, weather predictions, and even the Apostle Paul.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Heed the Warnings from History
Topic: Government Control
Discussed by Dr. Calvin Beisner
with Cornwall Alliance (www.CornwallAlliance.org)
Those who have been pushing for a decrease in fossil fuels now want
to arrest, try, and incarcerate those who deny “man-caused global warming”.
Dr. Calvin Beisner explains that the “climate system is one of the most
complex natural systems we have ever studied.” There is nothing “normal” or
“predictable” about it. “We don’t even know if they increase or decrease
warming,” he states. We do, however, know that plants grow more abundantly
with more CO2 in the air, which is definitely a good thing for the entire
planet! Listen in as Dr. Beisner gives a terrific scientific explanation why the
environmentalists cannot, prove without a shadow of a doubt, that more CO2
causes higher temperatures.
Should Christians be involved in this debate? After all, we have been entrusted
by God to take care of our planet and its resources. “Free speech is a very
important part of the Christian understanding of ethics,” Dr. Beisner
believes. “The Bible says we are to test all things and hold fast to what is
true.” He goes on to use specific examples from Paul and others to explain
why free speech is absolutely vital to the continuation of a free society.

Title: The Future of the FCC
Topic: Government Control
Discussed by Deborah Collier
with Citizens Against Government Waste (www.cagw.org)
Is the way you watch TV about to change? If the FCC has its way, then yes! And
not for the better. What about the internet and our computers? Even cell phones
aren’t safe anymore from the prying eyes of the government.
New guest, Deborah Collier, serves as the Director of Technology and
Telecommunications Policy for Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), a
private, non-partisan, non-profit organization representing more than one
million members and supporters nationwide. Deborah specializes in information
technology and telecommunications policy with a primary focus on cloud
computing, IT procurement, information security, data privacy, broadband
spectrum allocations, network neutrality, cable industry issues, e-commerce, and
emerging technologies. Basically, if an issue involves the IT world, she knows
about it.
Deborah is here today to discuss a very serious issue which should concern us
all. In her opinion, the Federal Communications Commission is moving us backward
in the area of cable television. The FCC wishes to use a third party to track
our viewing habits. Yep, that’s right, folks! The FCC wants to be in your living
room. This is all for advertisement purposes.
Let’s put it in this perspective: If you use a smart phone and are active at all
on Facebook or Twitter, when you “check-in” to a place, that “check-in” is
logged into the memory data bank of that social website – and your cell phone!
Have you noticed that lately your Facebook account automatically knows where you
are? Whether it be at home, church, the movies, or a restaurant, your phone is
tracking you. Also, you may have noticed specific ads in your newsfeed based on
what websites you have visited – or even the silly food videos you watch and
save!
That is the same way it will be with your television set. A third party, which
your cable provider hires, will be able to see what shows you watch, what
commercials you watch (before you flip the channel), and when you watch the
shows. Then, advertisements based on the shows and commercials you view will be
shown to you – through your tv set. This is scary, folks. It’s bad enough with
our cell phones. Now they want into our actual homes.
In addition, Deborah reveals that cable costs will need to increase in order to
compensate the third parties doing the advertisement research. So yay! That’s
more good news. [sarcasm]

Title: Five Infuriating Facts About Federal Regulations
Topic: Government Control
Discussed by Wayne Crews
with Competitive Enterprise Institute www.cei.org
Wayne Crews is Vice President for Policy and Director of Technology
Studies at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Crews is
the author of the yearly report: Ten Thousand Commandments. We like to
have experts as guests on the show, and Crews definitely qualifies. He discusses
the current cost of regulating all the government agencies. HINT: It’s pretty
dang high. Wayne jokingly says, “There will always be an America, but it
won’t always be here.” But is he right?
Wayne reveals how the biggest money-grabbers are the EPA and the labor
department. Also, if you thought Obamacare was an impossibly long read…The
current book of regulations has surpassed 70,000 pages! This is completely
outrageous.
Listen in as Wayne discusses three of the five infuriating facts about federal
regulations (there are actually a lot more, but these are the doozies): 1) cost
to taxpayers in 2014: $1.88 Trillion; 2) would be the 10th largest economy in
the world; and 3) cost to each household: nearly $15,000 per year. Click [here]

The government is constantly
trying to make things “better” for us. Yeah right!
From the 1950’s-1960’s the government sprayed bacteria throughout various
cities. They “thought” they were using a “harmless” bacteria, but it turns out
they were using……..
Let’s move forward to 1989… An experimental measles vaccine was given to black

Title: The All Seeing Recorder For Big Brother
Topic: Government Control
Discussed by Horace Cooper
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 2
With the ability to
track your every move, the “ObamaBox” will enable the government to record every
mile you drive, every stop you make, and even everyone in your car.
Oh let’s not forget, the EDR will track what you are doing in your car, every
call you make, every text you send, and the snacks you like best.
Should we oppose placing the “Event Data Recorders” in every automobile and
light truck sold in America?

The government promises to only
look at the last few seconds prior to the car accident, but the E.D.R. records
and records and records. It is like the Little Pink Bunny - it goes on and on
forever and will enable the government to look into you private life plus anyone
with the ‘smarts’ to hack into your system.
The Department of Transportation has announced its rule requiring the “black
boxes” for cars sold in America. Let’s demand that our government first require
them in vehicles sold in Russia and China and track how their governments use
the information. Until then, let’s oppose this intrusive move.

Does the dependency of the

if your outflow exceeds your inflow, your upkeep will be your downfall?
Truthfully, did conservatives break the education system in America, or did
progressives, with their ideas of 'whole language', invited math, and is it the
right of every boy and girl in America to have sex anytime, anywhere, and with
