Planet Logic

Lynn is joined by IT expert April Cousins to discuss the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and whether it will ever be able to reason as a human does. Lynn asks April whether a robot could ever be president of the United States, and if robots will become our companions and even fight our wars. We nerd out just a bit while discussing Isaac Asimov’s robot stories and the best robots in movies and on television. See if you agree with our choices.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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?

Mr. Wolfe, a banker, is running for a position on the school board in the Central Texas town of Belton. He promises to support parental rights, teacher retention, and a brighter future for his district. These are troubling times for America’s public schools, and we asked him about CRT, school choice, porn in libraries, and even bond issue transparency. This program was produced in cooperation with Political Pursuits the Podcast.
