One of the toughest challenges for many returning soldiers has been battling post-traumatic stress disorder. Strong medication has helped some but has also led to deeper depression and suicide among others. Now a simple CD from Patriot Outreach is making a huge difference. It’s entitled “Coping Strategies” and is earning rave reviews from military leaders, psychologists and religious leaders. So what is “Coping Strategies” and how is it so effective? We discuss it all with retired Col. Antonio Monaco, the founder of Patriot Outreach.

‘The Worst Thing We Could Do’
Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert attended President Obama’s speech on jobs Thursday night but was not impressed. Why does Gohmert believe Obama wasted the time and money of Congress with the speech? Why does he believe Obama was dishonest about what his plan would accomplish and that it was fully funded? What did Gohmert realize about Obama while watching the speech? And why is he alarmed over what Obama sees as the proper relationship between business and government? We discuss it all with Rep. Louie Gohmert.
Bush-Cloned Cowboy
Rick Perry hopes to become the second man in recent memory to jump from being governor of Texas to the president. The Capitol Steps tell us Perry has the full support of the man who accomplished that first.
Three Martini Lunch 9/9/11
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review are cautiously optimistic that a Republican will actually win the House seat once held by Anthony Weiner. We slam President Obama’s speech as small-visioned, arrogant and tiresome. And we offer our reflections as America observes 10 years since the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
Sabato Sizes Up GOP Debate
Eight Republican presidential hopefuls took to the debate stage at the Reagan Library on Wednesday night. How did Rick Perry do in his first national debate? Did Mitt Romney gain back any momentum? Is Michele Bachmann still going strong after her straw poll win in Iowa or is she slipping now? And how important was this debate in the race for the nomination? We discuss it all with Larry Sabato, professor of political science at the University of Virginia.
Cuccinelli on Obamacare Ruling
On Thursday, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Virginia lacks standing to challenge the new health care laws, even though the state passed legislation protecting its residents from being forced to purchase health insurance. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli strongly disagrees. He explains why he believes the decision on standing was wrong, where the legal fight heads next and why today’s ruling has a silver lining.
Always the Same
John Gizzi of Human Events critiques the latest Republican presidential debate. Who gets high marks and who lost ground? What does Gizzi expect from President Obama in his jobs speech this evening? He also gauges the impact of the incendiary comments on Monday from Teamsters President James Hoffa and explains why the GOP has a good chance to win the House seat in New York’s heavily Democratic district once represented by Chuck Schumer and Anthony Weiner.
Three Martini Lunch 9/8/11
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Dan Foster of National Review generally like how the Republican presidential candidates handled Wednesday’s debate, how Perry and Romney fared and Ron Paul’s explanation on how conservatives meet people in need. We also rip the moderators for their performances at the debate. And we discuss liberal legislative priorities while the rest of us are trying to jump start the economy.
‘Shopping in the Gimmick Aisle’
President Obama’s jobs speech will come less than a week after a Labor Department report showing zero net jobs were created in August. How bad is the job creation environment right now and is there any reason to think it will improve soon? Is President Obama on the right track by pushing for trade deals, payroll tax cut extensions and infrastructure spending in addition to more unemployment benefits and aid to the states? What are the Republican priorities in job creation? We discuss it all with Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, co-chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, which critiques the jobs report each month.
Three Martini Lunch 9/7/11
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review are pleasantly surprised to see liberal columnists unloading on President Obama. We also chide Obama for once again overruling his generals on troop levels. And we groan as the Obama administration refuses to criticize James Hoffa even slightly over his incendiary remarks.
