The Bob Davis Podcast

Podcast 116

I’m getting an ominous feeling about the next couple of weeks. MH370 is still a mystery. Russia is massing troops at the Eastern gate of the Ukraine and the White House seems confused. What does the US intend to DO about this, if anything. SHOULD the United States do anything? With winter over, the story line is now it was the worst winter ever in the upper Midwest, which feeds the story line that our slow economy is the result of … bad weather. Now the Met Council is fighting with the City of Minneapolis, the new Mayor of Minneapolis Betsy Hodges, the residents of Kenwood and Lake of Isles Neighborhoods, environmentalists, and bike nazis. It doesn’t get any better than this! Plus, court protection for pets in distress, NASA studying the fall of Rome, Brad Pitt’s modernist ghetto in New Orleans and much more!

Podcast 114 – Ying Ma

Ying Ma joins Bob Davis to talk about China’s strengths and weaknesses in relation to the United States and the rest of the world. Will China’s rise mean America’s fall? US First Lady Michelle Obama’s China trip is generating controversy, but there isn’t much substantive conversation about what China’s rise means, what the economic slowdown in China may mean for the world and its political system, and America’s position in all of this. Learn the reality about China, with one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject. Ying Ma writes about China, International Affairs, the free market and conservatism. Much of her writing chronicles the crossroads of political and economic freedom and China’s rising influence on world affairs. Ying Ma is the author of Chinese Girl in The Ghetto.

Podcast 113 – Sue Jeffers

A big welcome to Minnesota political activist Sue Jeffers. If you’re not happy with your government, talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. Many are upset and many are going to meetings to talk with others of like mind about it, but these groups are not organizing to get out the vote, and to take political action. Many are bewildered when it comes to exactly what to do to bring the local, county, state and federal government to heel. Sue Jeffers gives you some great suggestions about where to go and what to do. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.
