3/30- MOST PEOPLE THINK DIPLOMACY IS UTTERING "NICE DOGGY, NICE DOGGY" UNTIL YOU CAN FIND A ROCK. THIS EVENING WE LEARN THERE'S A HIGHER FORM.

Southerners teach their children that tact is the art of shutting your mouth before somebody else shuts it for you. Why stop at that primitive lesson-one? Sara and Barry welcome licensed psychologist DR. GUY WINCH who teaches the wondrous power of words to get what you want and make the giver think it was his idea the whole time. Even better; we'll learn how to COMPLAIN to someone about his behavior and gain his good will, keep his friendship and make him quit.

3/29-SORRY, FIDEL. THE RAFTS, LEAKY BOATS AND INNER TUBES ONLY SEEM TO GO FROM SOUTH TO NORTH DOWN THERE.

In the balmy days before Communism, all the rhythms from Cuba were syncopatic and copacetic. Now all you can hear is clashing propaganda from both sides. A columnist today says the Pope's visit to Cuba may be all that's needed to topple the Castro regime. Other media are full of, "Gee; my parents fled Castro to Miami and I came to Cuba for the Pope's visit and it's not nearly as bad as my father told me!" Do they think they can sneak hockey pucks of that kind of propaganda past Freedom's Goal-Keeper HUMBERTO FONTOVA? They'll think again as Humberto visits Sara and Barry this evening.

3/28-YOU SAY YOU'D LIKE ANOTHER CIVIL WAR? EASY. HERE'S HOW!

As though Americans don't have enough to worry about, here comes Navy Seal vet, novelist and freedom-addict with his book "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" suggesting how a shrewd America-hater could start another civil war by manipulating the pro-gun and anti-gun elements of America. He's MATT BRACKEN and Sara and Barry spotlight his novel and his life, which sounds like a novel.

3/27- PLEASE, MR. CONGRESSMAN. TAKE US INSIDE AND SHOW US AROUND!

He has Barry's solid nomination as the best political mind in the English language. He's former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER and his "Campaign Insiders" team consisting of him, Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen has now blistered through to the Fox News Channel, having earlier been confined to the Fox Internet service. LeBoutillier takes aim as the ever-moving target of the GOP presidential nominees plus the first two days of Supreme Court argument over Obamacare.

3/26-ARE YOU SORRY YOU'RE TAKING AN AMERICAN'S JOB?

DENNIS MICHAEL LYNCH is a prize-winning entrepreneur who turned his back on dazzling success to learn the art and craft of making documentaries. Lynch visits Sara and Barry to preview his highly controversial documentary on how Americans AND illegal immigrants feel about illegal immigration.

3/23- WHAT DID THE LATE SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY HAVE TO TO WITH ALLEGED MASS MURDERER SGT. ROBERT BALES IN AFGHANISTAN?

3/21- UNTIL AMERICA FIGHTS IN VIETNAM AGAIN, CHAPTER ONE WILL HAVE TO DO.

You've surely heard the speaker say, "There are two kinds of people in the world." And if you're over 30 you know there are at least five billion "two kinds of people in the world." Barry thinks the grand-daddy-definitive "two kinds of people" are those who've known combat, and those who haven't. Barry recommends if you haven't known combat and wouldn't care to, but would like to know what it's like; just read the first chapter to "LULLABIES FOR LIEUTENANTS" -- 'Memoir of a Marine Forward Observer in Vietnam, 1965-1966'. Author Franklin Cox visits Sara and Barry.

3/20-THE WORDS ACROSS THE BOOK'S COVER ARE "COMING APART". IS THAT A BLUNT TITLE OR A SINCERE PREDICTION?

One of America's most gifted social commentators, CHARLES MURRAY, accepts Sara and Barry's invitation to open his new book revealing a disturbing change in American life. Murray's book, COMING APART, details a process we've all lived through but, because it unfolds glacially day by day, we haven't noticed. If you had to reduce Murray's message to two words, that book title of his would do it!

Later in the hour former New York CONG. JOHN LeBOUTILLIER takes aim at the Illinois primary and makes predictions, broad and narrow, even though so few votes will have been tallied that politicians of lesser courage wouldn't dare go there!

3/19-HOW TO MAKE A UNION REALLY SORRY FOR THEIR THUGGERY

The all-powerful SEIU went to work organizing DAVE BEGO's Executive Management Services. Bego's idea of self-defense is interesting. Dave figured it's not enough to beat back the union. He went ahead and made sure his home state of Indiana passed a strong "Right-to-Work" law. Bego tells Sara and Barry exactly how.

3/16- SHOULD HUSBANDS AND WIVES, LIKE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, CONTINUE TO ARGUE WHEN THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE?

The guest's chair is empty this evening and in its place; America's lamentable mishandling of Afghanistan, Obama's perfection of a liberal's actions, the comic-opera speed with which North Korea broke its agreement with America and the angst of a conservative who wants to win the election but wants to win on issues and the incumbent's performance and NOT because of GAS PRICES!

3/15- ATTENTION WORLD: THE VOICE OF CUBA CALLING. WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT FREEDOM

When ice cubes move, it's not news. When glaciers move, it is. There's movement in the "frozen" situation involving the Cuban Communist government and the free Cubans in the outside world. A once-upon-a-time insignificant university-organized tour to Cuba to coincide with the visit of the Pope has flared into a little rebellion; one that's prompted the liberal Miami Herald to quote the most effective anti-Castro voice in America; HUMBERTO FONTOVA, without distortion or disdain. Sara and Barry welcome Humberto to hear more.

3/14- SO YOU WANT A REVOLUTION, DO YOU? BETTER LISTEN TO BROTHER RAVES FIRST

Writer-speaker-history professor EBBEN RAVES visits Sara and Barry to strike a dramatic and overdue note in the American conversation. Raves takes aim at "keyboard commandos" who call for a "New American Revolution" by reminding them sharply some forgotten or never-before-learned features and lessons about the First One!

3/13-IT'S A GIRL!" ENGENDERS NO JOY IN MILLIONS OF CHINESE WHO COMMIT "GENDER-CIDE" IN FAVOR OF THE "MALE SON".F

"This is what radio was invented for," says Barry, adding, "Or, at least, should have been!" DR. JAMES GARROW, headmaster of English-immersion schools for the chldren of the China's ellite, was horrified when he learned of the "gender-cide" going on in China. China's "one-child-per-family" law has led directly to the loss of countless millions of Chinese baby girls who are aborted in favor of the culturally-preferable "male son"! Dr. Garrow, at the cost of over thirty-one million dollars of his own money and the constant risking of his life, has founded networks of "Pink Pagoda" schools to save the lives of the endangered girls. Dr. Garrow has saved 40,000 girls so far. The Chinese government considers Dr. Garrow a "criminal who deals in human trafficking." He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize -- and was edged out by Barack Obama. Sara and Barry welcome Dr. Garrow and his life-saving endeavors detailed between covers of his book, "The Pink Pagoda".

3/12- SHOULD COINCIDENCE BE BRUSHED ASIDE AS JUST COINCIDENCE?

Barry always wanted an invention that would make your radio receiver -- internet or otherwise -- flash on and off in different colors when the topic of the upcoming show wandered a bit "out of the box". Forget Romney, gas prices, Afghanistan, etc. for a night. Sara and Barry welcome RICHARD "ZIPPY" GRIGONIS, Editor-in-Chief of Jeff Pulver’s State of NOW. Pulver is a co-founder of Vonage, and is an investor in Twitter and FourSquare. He lifts the curtain on what the young call "synchronicity" and Barry still calls "coincidence". Did you know there's a "formula" for coincidence. Grigonis tells all.

3/9-ADRIAN HAS THE PLAN. NOW HE'S GOT TO CONVINCE ALL FOUR CANDIDATES

Why should the Republican hopefuls eat each other alive? The man who invented the "Fuel Farm" has an original and ambitious plan. Sara and Barry welcome writer-teacher-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE to unveil that plan -- and a few others!

Thursday, March 8, 2012

3/8-WHY DO REPUBLICANS MISS THE OLD DEMOCRATS SO MUCH?

A history of the Democratic Party can be dull, but NOT when written by a Republican; particularly a Republican who knows as much and writes as well as KEVIN "COACH" COLLINS, former NYPD detective, political consultant and the skipper of the popular COACH IS RIGHT website. Sara and Barry welcome Coach Collins to talk about his new book, "Crooks, Thugs and Bigots" which he subtitles, "The Lost, Hidden and Changed History of the Democratic Party".

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

3/7- WASN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE OVER ALREADY?

Sara and Barry invite former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER to fix his binoculars upon the GOP candidate's battlefield to see if Mitt Romney has succeeded in clearing himself a path through the mine field, or if the dance goes on.

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

3/6-THE NIGHT IS YOUNG, AND ALREADY WE'VE GOT WINNERS AND LOSERS!

Now is the time for all good Republicans who have come to the aid of the party to try to get excited about Super-Tuesday. Among those most able to generate excite is DR. CHARLES DUNN, Distinguished Professor at Regent University whose keen analysis could make one primary exciting; much less ten. Dr. Dunn visits with Sara and Barry as the returns fly in.

3/5- TWO VALUABLE TALK-HOST TOOLS: "THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER" AND "THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION"!

Sara and Barry call it "enlarging the family circle". Not every guest has to be a visiting expert with all the answers. Some, like this evening, can be welcome old friends with some fresh questions and outlooks. Talk host, social critic and former radio station owner STEVE GILBERT enlarges the Sara--and-Barry team this evening.

3/2- QUACKS CHARGE MONEY; CRUSADERS GIVE IT AWAY!

Don Quixote chased windmills -- and lost. BOB BUTTS chases billboards, and is winning -- and big-time. Bob Butts is America's champion of the "Water-Cure". The number of serious conditions that can be cured by water with a touch of sea salt, according to the Water-Cure proponents, is exciting huge masses of people, eliciting rave testimonials from those who swear they've been healed, driving orthodox medicine nuts and generating great controversy. Butts just bought a billboard in a heavily-populated area in Pennsylvania and tells Sara and Barry of the reaction.

3/1-MOST HOLY FATHER, THEY DON'T HAVE BEARDS, BUT THEY HAVE BRUISES AND THEY WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

WILL HE MEET WITH....? That's long been a recurring question when a leader of a democratic country or a Pope visits a dictatorship. You've heard it. "Will President Obama meet with the Dalai Lama if the Chinese frown hard enough. Today's version: Will Pope Benedict on his upcoming visit to Cuba meet with the "Ladies in White", the courageous much-persecuted heroines of Communist Cuba who refuse to shut, stay home or go away, despite jail, beatings and worse. HUMBERTO FONTOVA, famous Cuban-born "Freedom-Writer" gives Sara and Barry his best guess and his best information after meeting with the Free Cuban High Command in Miami.
