Our local TV anchors are like old friends who drop by the house to visit.  And so it was with Kris Radcliffe who passed away suddenly on October 30th.  He was just 51, and his death came as a shock to his thousands of fans, and to those of us in the media who knew him.  I first met Kris in my Temple radio studio when he joined me to promote a bottled water drive for the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston.  After the interview I bought several cases and took them to the Channel 6 studios in downtown Temple.  On November 25, 2019, I invited Kris to come to my home studio to do an extended interview on Planet Logic.  He anchored the 6 PM newscast, drove to my house for the interview, and then back to Channel 6 for the 10 PM news.  I have been a follower and admirer of his work ever since I first met him.  And as a remembrance, here is that interview as it appeared half a decade ago.
The political conventions of 2024 are over and now it’s time to get down to real campaigning.  So far, Democrat nominee Kamala Harris has been employing a strategy of avoiding actual issues and sticking to platitudes such as “we’re not going back,” and “joy.”  Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has told tall tales about his military service and his football coaching career, and has been found to have a long relationship with Communist China.  Is it Communism they’re selling?  Marxism?  Lynn Woolley and Lou Ann Anderson break it all down.
Lynn Woolley and Lou Ann Anderson look at the state of the election, given the state of the world.  As we were recording the podcast on August 5, 2024, Israel was bracing for retaliation from Iran, and the stock market in America was down 1,000 points.  If Joe Biden is largely responsible for the wars abroad and the terrible economy, then is Kamala Harris also culpable?  If so, can she be elected, and is Donald Trump capable of blowing an election that is his to lose? Harris is giving no interviews, and Trump may be talking too much.  Here’s our analysis…
In this special edition of Planet Logic, hosted by Julie Sullivan, the past and future of over-the air-radio is front and center.  The Lady of Logic asks Lynn Woolley how and why he wanted a career in radio, and then moves to the transition of AM radio from music to talk.  What was radio like in the beginning?  What happened to radio after television became prominent?  What does the digital age have in store?  And what about young people who get all their news from social media?  As all traditional media faces an uncertain future, what would America look like without talk radio to provide a voice to Americans unserved by left-wing outlets that currently dominate the media landscape?  Julie Sullivan is a traveling respiratory therapist.
Look at the madness on college campuses these days with the antisemitic, pro-Hamas protests and ask yourself:  What am I getting in return for my tax dollars that support these left-wing schools?  Then, think about your local schools where the top-heavy administration eats up more of your taxes, and yet so many students cannot read at grade level.  Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits the Podcast and Lynn Woolley of Planet Logic discuss how bad the situation is, and what you can do about it – if anything.
Bell County, Texas is Ground Zero in Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s crusade to empower parents and give them school choice. Why Bell County? Because it’s the home of longtime politician Hugh Shine who strongly opposes parent’s right to decide the best school for their children—like rich parents can do. Lynn Woolley of Planet Logic and Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits the Podcast team up for a close-up of Rep. Shine’s increasingly personal and nasty campaign again Belton mom and political newcomer Hillary Hickland.

Is the world waking up to the dangers of globalism? Lynn Woolley (Planet Logic) and Lou Ann Anderson (Political Pursuits the Podcast) posit a theory: the country and the rest of the world are noticing the dangers of allowing global elites to run the world. From the climate change hoax to worldwide immigration disasters, what’s good for the world’s rich isn’t always what’s best for you and me.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott came to Temple, Texas on Friday to deliver a full-throated endorsement for Hillary Hickland, who is challenging long-time incumbent Hugh Shine in the Texas House, District 55. Abbott and Shine may see eye to eye on most things – but not school choice. Abbott has promised to endorse primary opponents of the 21 House members who voted against school choice – Abbott’s top priority in a just-failed special session. Here is the governor’s speech, in its entirety, followed by Hickland’s response.
Are Americans being fed a line of bull? And on a regular basis? For example, is ex-cop Derek Chauvin really guilty of murder? And why would he be placed in prison general population where he could be (and was) stabbed? What do we really know about January 6? And the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan? What are they keeping from us about Jeffrey Epstein and the list of people he associated with? Is climate change real, or just a way to enrich people like Al Gore? And in Texas, would school choice really take away money from public schools? Lynn Woolley (Planet Logic) and Lou Ann Anderson (Political Pursuits) discuss the ways we’re being kept in the dark.
In Washington, the fight over the next GOP House Speaker arose from the $33b national debt, and the cowardice of continuing resolutions and “omnibus” bills that kick the debt can down the road. In Austin the Republican bickering is over school choice and how some Republican lawmakers are subservient to local school superintendents. Planet Logic’s Lynn Woolley is joined by Political Pursuits’ Lou Ann Anderson to take a deep dive into Republican intra-party squabbling.
Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto was in Texas last week. Jim Cardle and I sat down with him in the studios of the Texas Public Policy Foundation in downtown Austin. The main subject was war in Ukraine, but we also talked about Joe Biden at the United Nations, immigration and refugee issues, and Donald Trump. This program was recorded on September 19, 2023.
One Giant Step for Tyranny

One Giant Step for Tyranny

Trump has been booked and mug-shot by a local DA who, herself, is an election denier. Is this an attack on free speech and the American Way? Political Pursuits' Lou Ann Anderson and Planet Logic's Lynn Woolley discuss this and many other aspects of the current ascent of tyranny into the American system. This episode is not particlarly optimisic. It is, however, truthful. And it's time to face the truth. We have this election cycle, and perhaps one more to fix it. We have a Republic -- if we can keep it.
The Deep State is thinking, "we got him now!" But is it really former President Trump who's indicted? Or is it the millions of people in America who see him as the only way to drain the Swamp? And, oh, how that Swamp needs draining! Some think the Swamp decides who can run for president and even who can win. If that's so, it explains how a frail, mindless puppet got into office, and perhaps who is the puppeteer! Join Lynn Woolley and Lou Ann Anderson for a deep dive into the inner workings of Washington and what it means to Trump, Biden, and the future of Our Republic.
Season of Impeachment

Season of Impeachment

‘Tis the season! No, not that one. This one is dangerous. It’s the season of impeachment and how it will end is anyone’s guess. Political Pursuits’ Lou Ann Anderson and Planet Logic’s Lynn Woolley discuss Trump’s impeachment history and how it relates to today’s potential impeachments of Joe Biden, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and even Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Hungary’s outgoing Minister of Justice visits with Cardle & Woolley, stands up for Conservative Values in the European Union: Judit Varga knows it’s not easy being a conservative occupant of a high office in a country that shares a border with Ukraine. She’s often been attacked for her conservatism and for her support of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Jim and I sat down with her in the plush studios of the Texas Public Policy Foundation in downtown Austin.
How did Joe Biden get 81,000,000 votes? Isn't that the question we all want to ask? Lynn is joined by Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits the Podcast to discuss all things Biden. That means, of course, Joe's mental state, his felonious son Hunter, who's pulling Biden's strings, what's the deal with Ukraine, and when will Joe resign from the presidency. Will Trump take on Kamala or Gavin Newsom, and what about RFKjr? Lynn and Lou Ann provide the best analysis of where both parties stand as Joe faces impeachment, and the 2024 campaign heats up.
John Wayne was a staunch conservative whose views were as repudiated by the political elites of his own day as they would be today. On Wayne's 116th birthday, Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits and Lynn Woolley of Planet Logic take a close look at The Duke's stand on the issues and imagine what he would be saying now, were he still with us. Our source material comes from a May 1971 interview with Playboy in which Wayne did not mince words. You'll be astonished to discover how much of what he said then still is relevant in today's supercharged political environment. Here's what John Wayne would say...
Ruben Navarette is a nationally syndicated columnist out of San Diego whose thesis is: America needs more immigrants, not fewer. And he doesn’t much like the Biden administration’s handling of immigration more than what the Republicans are suggesting. Ruben joined us on a special edition of the Cardle & Woolley Show from Talk 1370. This program was recorded on May 18, 2023 in Austin.
Is this even America anymore? Is it too late to save it? Lynn is joined by Political Pursuits' Lou Ann Anderson to consider the following: We have a Supreme Court Justice that will not define "woman." Little boys are being surgically mutilated into some bizarre facimile of girlhood. We're renaming military bases, canceling women, and our joke of a president is conducting a war on fossil fuels. Trump has been indicted and Tucker Carlson has been removed from FOX News. What forces are behind this? And can they be stopped?
