Peyton Knight rides in like his namesakes of yore to decry what he says the National Trust for Historical Preservation is doing to promote their own agenda and take away property from individual owners. Knight is the guest of Chuck Harder on his For the People show and is the Director of Environmental and Regulatory Affairs for the National Center for Public Policy Research (NationalCenter.org). He says that the National Trust is more and more involved in legislation instead of the preservation of historical buildings. A case in point, Knight claims, is the National and Historical Trails-the National Trust is using that as a tool to promote an anti-property agenda. Chuck wants to know why if this is known, someone, like the National Center for Public Policy Research, is not taking them to task. ?Go get ?em, Tiger?, Chuck encourages. Also up for discussion is why we aren?t drilling for oil in Alaska. If we had done this ten years ago when it was first proposed, expresses Knight, we would not be facing some of the problems we have today. He reports that 75% of Alaskans favor the drilling in the Alaskan Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and that it would only affect 2000 acres out of the 1.5 million acres of the Refuge.

Jonathan Blain is an international keynote speaker, among other things, and as such,
probably has a pretty good idea as to what people from other countries think of us. So Chuck Harder on his show For the People asks Blain, ?Why do others hate the United States?? And Blain probably does have an understanding of what others think of us. However, it?s hard to decipher that from this show. What does come through is that he loves the American people. And perhaps that statement is part of the answer to the question- maybe it?s not the people that others hate as much as America the country. Chuck says he could certainly understand if others do hate us because we have not always been very nice to other countries. Blain (JonathanBlain.com) believes that we?ve all become commentators about what is going on in our world but very few are standing up and saying what they really think and that must take place. We need to look for universal values ? things that link us together, not those things that are decisive. Click here to listen to this podcast.

You would think that if someone has a book called ?101 Homeland Security Guarantees? that the discussion on Chuck Harder?s show, For the People, might actually focus on homeland security. Not exactly. The guest is Bill Losey who says, succinctly, in his book that there are no guarantees. He says it so succinctly that there are no words in the book, just blank pages. (Click here to own this book.) Losey (BillLosey.com) also tells Chuck that expecting guarantees, in any area of your life (financial, relationships, employment, etc) is a sure fire way to disaster. Losey, by training, is a financial planner but he calls himself a performance strategist. Briefly that is one who leads another in decision-making processes to get to a desired future. There are many in our country, reports Losey, that expect the company that they work for to take care of them with health benefits now and a great pension later. Just by looking at the news we can see that that is not a guarantee any more. So what do we do? Take control of your own life; expect nothing and plan for everything; develop your own intellectual, financial, emotional and physical capital. The problem, according to Losey, is not that we aim too high and miss but that we aim to low and are content with what we reach. Click here to listen to this podcast.

Political activist, past President of Alaska Federation of Teachers, researcher, lecturer. These are all words to describe Dr. Nick Begich but today the word used is guest. He is the guest of Chuck Harder on Harder?s show, For the People. On the table for discussion in this podcast are energy issues and climate changes. On energy- this administration does not seem to understand, he says. They seem to have turned a tin ear to the situation. Begnich feels that it is up to the people to get Congress to take charge and get going. Chuck asks Begich about warming of the oceans and Begich has a little different take on that from many. He says that a lot of the warming of the oceanic waters can be attributed to undersea volcanic eruptions, a natural occurrence. He believes that any warming due to the depletion of the ozone layer is minimal since that would only affect a short depth of water. Begich has a website (Earthpulse.com) where you can find out what else he believes in but you can click here to listen to this podcast.

What if instead of providing general education for the inmates in our prisons, we were to provide them with character theory? This is one of the proposals stated by Chuck Harder?s guest, Col. Alexander Stuart, on this episode of the For the People show on TalkStarRadio. Stuart is a retired army colonel, who along with two psychologists, wrote a book called Moral Health (Click here to own the book). He says that when prison inmates are trained in character, to increase their moral aptitude, that it decreases recidivism by 75%. His goal is to bring back the moral health that did exist in this country, he says, until President Johnson shut down the voice of the church. That event caused the rise of special interest groups and the increase in our national debt.

Most states have Small Claims Courts, although the amount of monies that can be sued for varies from state to state. (I know that in Vermont the limit is $3,500 while in Florida the amount is $5,000). Small Claims Courts, says Hans Bader of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI.org) are actually a very good thing because you can go to court to sue for monies due you without having to engage a lawyer, thus saving you money that would be eaten up by lawyer fees. This may be surprising coming from Hans since he is an attorney but then wait till you hear what else he has to say on this episode of Chuck Harder?s show, For the People. He tells Chuck that the legal system needs to be more consumer-friendly and less lawyer-friendly. Chuck mentions that some corporate CEOs get paid oodles of money and do nothing to earn it. Hans, however, says that in many corporations the CEO is at least responsible for ensuring that the stockholders get a good return on their dividends, whereas (Like how I inserted that bit of legalese?) there are some lawyers who also get oodles of money (we?re talking $20,000/hour) and they do nothing to increase the profits of the company.

Chuck is feeling a little queasy today but it has nothing to do with his recent hospital stays. No, he says he is feeling a little queasy just like he did before 9/11 happened. When he looks at all the sometimes little and sometimes not-so-little things that are occurring like the three factions of Muslims fighting, he fears what might be coming just around the corner. Chuck?s guest on this episode of ?For the People? is Robert Thomas Raming and he is in agreement with Chuck. He believes that our government is doing a massive cover-up starting back with the Waco incident in 1993, followed by the Oklahoma City bombing exactly eleven years later, and then the 9/11 tragedies. Raming says he has more questions than answers about those three occurrences since in each one the powers that be seem to sweep in and truck away all the evidence before it can really be examined. Raming, who has a book titled ?War and Death of the American Dream?, responds to Chuck?s question about the current war by saying he does not believe that our government wants to be extricated from it- that our government is using it to ?break the backs of the American people?.
