 Does the Government Want You to Keep Smoking? – an Interview with Dr. Gregory Jantz and Entrepreneur Kent Atherton – Episode 218 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 50:35

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young welcome Dr. Gregory Jantz and Kent Atherton to discuss how evidence suggests that the government actually wants people to keep smoking, despite the message they seem to promote. Dr. Jantz is an addiction expert who founded The Center – A Place of Hope, and Kent Atherton is a serial entrepreneur with an interest in smoking cessation. Based on years of working with his patients, Dr. Jantz talks about the science and psychology behind addiction – and what they’ve found helps people successfully overcome addiction and what doesn’t. They follow the shocking money trail of the billions of dollars the government receives to support smoking cessation programs, which they won from tobacco companies in 1998. The incredible amount of deceptive, wasteful and misguided spending reveals how the government blatantly profits off of citizens’ nicotine addictions.

He is a sought-after public speaker and a best-selling author of 35 books. He is a go-to media expert on a number of behavioral afflictions and has appeared on CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, and has been interviewed for the New York Post, Associated Press, Family Circle, and Women’s Day.

 Limiting the Power of an Out of Control Congress – An Interview with Philip Blumel – Episode 217 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:59

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery interviews Philip Blumel, the President of U.S. Term Limits. The organization, founded in 1990, has worked to get term limits enacted in every layer of government. They discuss the goal of limiting the entire U.S. Legislature and touch on the history of term limits in Washington. Very few members of Congress are interested in limiting their own power, so Blumel explains why we might need an Article Five Convention called for by the States to amend the Constitution.

 The Government’s Phony Economic Numbers –  John Williams Breaks them Down – Episode 216 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:02:59

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young talk to economist John Williams, who researches and analyzes the real economic figures that the government doesn’t want you to know about. The numbers we get from headlines, Wall Street, the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the White House are manipulated to manufacture a positive response from citizens. In reality, the numbers are usually much worse than are reported. Williams discusses how the government finds ways to generate certain calculations to determine policy, such as the inflation rate. The Fed justifies their actions based on faulty data. The stopgap measures taken by recent administrations to handle economic challenges fail to address any real issues pushing our nation toward bankruptcy. Based on the actual data, Williams makes some predictions on what will happen with the economy, offers advice for individuals, and talks about why he thinks the U.S. dollar will soon essentially be worthless. Walter J. Williams, known as “John,” received an A.B. in Economics, cum laude, from Dartmouth College in 1971. He was awarded a M.B.A. from Dartmouth's Amos Tuck School of Business Administration in 1972, where he was named an Edward Tuck Scholar. During his career as a consulting economist, John has worked with individuals as well as Fortune 500 companies.

 Is the Government Spying on Your Medical Records? Dr. Kris Held Explains – Episode 214 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:10:39

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Mark Young welcomes returning guest Dr. Kris Held to talk about the 900+ addendum to Obamacare that Congress passed last year. Both sides of the aisle voted for it, but few Americans ever heard of it. That’s not surprising, since under the new bill, the government can spy on medical information for any citizen that they deem necessary. Dr. Held breaks the problematic details of the bill. She reveals how government is encouraging worse treatment for patients through rewards and penalties for doctors. From first hand experience, she also highlights how Congress is making it harder for private practices to survive. Kris Held, M.D. is a board certified ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon who is in private practice in San Antonio and maintains an academic affiliation as a Clinical Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Dr. Held has read, reported on, and participated in tweeting about the entire Affordable Care Act. She is co-founder of AmericanDoctors4Truth, co-creator of rebel.md, and a member of the Physicians’ Healthcare Workgroup working with physicians from across the country, including physician Congressmen, to draft a template for true patient-centered, market-driven healthcare reform. In addition to her recognition in Best Doctors in America, Dr. Held has been named to America’s Top Ophthalmologists, Texas Super Doctors, and San Antonio’s Top Doctors. She also received The Shining Scalpel Award from The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons “In recognition of her outstanding service to the American people and the profession of medicine by ‘cutting’ through the political rhetoric regarding ‘healthcare reform.’” Please follow Dr. Kris on Twitter @kksheld, follow her blog at www.KrisHeldMD.wordpress.com, visitwww.AmericanDoctors4Truth.org, and check out http://rebel.md/ (also on Facebook at Rebel MD and on Twitter @RebelDocs).
