Jesse Jr welcomes Dr. Johnny Mack, guest host of “The world house” As they consider Dr. King‘s position on USA ID and our soft power around the world. It’s more than good citizenship for King, it is the difference between the largest military budget in the world and willfully neglecting to share with people who are hungry, thirsty and need only the basics to express gratitude with tears. There is a cost, and King called it out every time - to whom much has been given, much is required.” We are not wrong for calling it out. We are wrong when we don’t.

At the grocery store, if you move out of position in line, you wait longer before you can leave to move on to your next activity.

These are serious considerations on the world stage with long-term implications.

This land is your land. This land is my land. The line of this song has been a hot topic as our country goes through turmoil at every level, with the author, finding himself a tenant in a building owned by the President’s father, Fred Trump.
