About the guest: Joe Piscopo is the host of the Joe Piscopo Morning Show, which airs weekdays from 6-10am on AM970 The Answer. Television, film, theater, nightclubs—they’re all fields in which Joe Piscopo has won the acclaim and affection of millions. For over 25 years, Joe has proven to be one of show business’ brightest lights. After stints as a disc jockey and dinner-theater performer, Joe turned to comedy. In 1980, he was chosen to join a newly formed ensemble charged with one of the most difficult tasks in TV history—replacing the original cast of Saturday Night Live. By the time he left the show in 1985, Joe had left his mark on the program, and the na­tion, thanks to his wide range of hilarious original characters and celebrity impersonations, from The Sports Guy and Doug Whiner to David Letterman and, of course, Frank Sinatra, who repeatedly endorsed Joe’s portrayal of him, referring to Joe as ‘The Vice-Chairman of the Board.’ His work on SNL naturally led to Hollywood and starring roles in such smash hits as Wise Guys (with Danny DeVito) and Johnny Dangerously (with Michael Keaton). Other film credits include “Dead Heat, Sidekicks with Chuck Norris and a dramatic, critically acclaimed performance in Jonathan Parker’s Bartleby.

Trevor Loudon is an author, filmmaker and public speaker from Christchurch, New Zealand. For more than 30 years, he has researched radical left, Marxist and terrorist movements and their covert influence on mainstream politics. They talk about the Left’s push toward Socialism in America, including the reviving of the “Rainbow Coalition” strategy for the upcoming elections. They discuss the real threat of a small group of people pushing a communist/socialist agenda through the government. Many on the left don’t even understand what “progressive” means, but it is a troubling trend that the media supports with leftist propaganda. With Loudon, they explore many of the frightening realities going on in the U.S. and the world, and they talk about what we can do to stop it. Also on the podcast, Chuck and Mark consider the way Trump is firing a number of people from his administration and the fake news that the media are making it into. About the guest: Trevor Loudon’s thesis is that what is commonly regarded as mainstream political policy is in fact driven and guided by hidden subversive elements. The Democratic party’s consistent defunding of the US military, Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear Deal, normalization of relations with Cuba, Islamic refugee re-settlement, $15 minimum wage, fracking bans, pipeline shutdowns and the push for illegal alien amnesty are all consistent with far-left and Islamist agendas. Trevor Loudon believes that these forces must be exposed and countered, as America’s continued role as a bastion of freedom is pivotal for the future of western civilization. Some of Trevor Loudon’s accomplishments: Trevor is currently working on his new film with Director Judd Saul: “Enemies Within: The Church.” Trevor’s hard-hitting political documentary, the Enemies Within, was released in 2016. In Collaboration with the Capital Research Center, Trevor Loudon and Director Judd Saul  created a series of mini-documentaries free to the public: America Under Siege: Civil War 2017 America Under Siege: Soviet Islam America Under Siege: Antifa Trevor Loudon discovered the long-hidden relationship between notorious Hawaiian Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and the young Barack Obama in 2007. After extensively researching Obama’s ties to the New York and Chicago Marxist movements, Loudon began publishing his findings online, catching the eye of such prominent voices as Accuracy in Media and syndicated radio host Glenn Beck. In 2009 Loudon exposed the communist roots of Obama “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones. After an extensive campaign by Glenn Beck and others, Jones was forced to resign from his White House position. Since 2011 Loudon has toured the United States promoting his two books “Barack Obama and the Enemies Within” and “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress” – an extensively footnoted expose of the rapidly unfolding Marxist takeover of the United States government. Loudon has addressed more than 400 conservative, tea party, religious and Republican groups in more than 37 states. Loudon has interviewed many people from both sides of the struggle over the years to former Western intelligence offices, to government undercover operatives inside the communist movement, to former KGB officers. This research has given Loudon unique insight into how extensively often minuscule communist parties have been able to manipulate, and even control policy formation in many Western countries – particularly the “main enemy:” the United States of America. Loudon’s research shows that this is not just a historical problem but is a very grave and looming threat which will not only impact America’s national security but...

Cirsten Weldon is a legal immigrant, author and interior designer who was born in Singapore and now lives in the United States. On the podcast, she discusses some details about how well she believes Singapore’s republican government runs, with low income tax and virtually no crime.

They also talk about the hypocrisy of the left regarding nepotism, in business versus politics. About the guest: Cirsten Weldon was inspired by her experiences as a model and actress, as well as by her personal faith and political worldview, to write her story in Singaporean Thoughts. It includes her thoughts on decor, politics, religion, and dating. She lived a very interesting and, to some, coveted, childhood. Her father was the Chairman of the Singapore Stock Exchange, and her mother a Cambridge-educated attorney. At 14, she left her very affluent family in Singapore to go to boarding school, a tough decision for a young girl, but one she has never regretted. As she says in Singaporean Thoughts, it gave her a strong foundation of hard work that has continued to serve her through adulthood. As a child growing up in Singapore, Cirsten never dreamed she would grow up to become an international model, cover girl, and actress. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree at the young age of 18 from Loma Linda University, which allowed her to go on to live in numerous exciting places including California, Hawaii, New York, Europe, Singapore, and Japan. From her Singaporean heritage, she was always naturally a conservative capitalist. Her father was the Chairman of the Singapore Stock Exchange, as well as Chairman of a hotel chain. Her mother, who graduated from Cambridge in London, worked in real estate. Cirsten found great career success when she appeared in the film about the musical group, The Doors. However, this led to a lifestyle of constant partying, ultimately resulting in drug overdose in the ‘90s, which prompted her to leave Los Angeles and get back to her roots as a Second Generation Seventh Day Adventist. Once she reclaimed her relationship with God, she was led to her passion of interior design, and starred in two design television shows. Currently, Cirsten has residences in Tennessee and Florida and is enjoying expanding her passions into writing. Follow Cirsten on Twitter @cirstenw and on Facebook.

Katherine Chiljan, an independent scholar on the subject, discusses the controversy surrounding the authorship of William Shakespeare’s plays. She talks about who evidence suggests the writer really was and speculates on the potential politics behind the “identity theft” in the 17th century and why the deception may have occurred. She also considers the intense pushback at universities today against the evidence that proves the “Stratford Man” was not the real author of the classic works. Chuck and Mark talk about how prevalent this stubborn thinking is among liberal college professors. Chiljan explains that when you know the truth about the real Shakespeare, the entire experience is much richer. Also on the show, Chuck and Mark talk about the list of gun-related legislation that President Trump has recently called for, the strange phenomenon of World Hijab Day, and the recent loss of Billy Graham. About the guest: An independent scholar, Katherine Chiljan has studied the Shakespeare authorship question for over 30 years. A graduate of U.C.L.A. in history, Chiljan became interested in the controversy when she saw a TV debate about Shakespeare’s identity between an orthodox Shakespeare professor and a proponent of the 17th Earl of Oxford. The “Oxfordian” case was very convincing and inspired her to do her own research. Thereafter Chiljan has debated English professors on the authorship question at the Smithsonian Institution, U.C. Berkeley, and the Mechanics’ Institute Library in San Francisco. Chiljan was inspired to write Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth About Shakespeare and His Works (2011) after watching a prominent English professor insult doubters of the traditional Shakespeare on national television. The book took almost 7 years to complete and earned her an award for distinguished scholarship from Concordia University, Portland, OR (2012). Chiljan was also a contributing author to the ebook, Contested Year (2016), which exposed “Errors, Omissions and Unsupported Statements” in English Professor James Shapiro’s book, The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606. Chiljan has served as editor of an Oxfordian newsletter, and has published the surviving letters of the 17th Earl of Oxford (Letters and Poems of Edward, Earl of Oxford, 1998).
