Interviews
Most of these interviews took place between August 2006, and May 2009, during the primary marketing of The Chicken Little Agenda, although I still get interview requests from time to time, the most recent in March 2017. The idea was to sell more books, but frequently, the interviewer branched out to whatever was capturing the public’s interest at the time of the interview. Several hosts asked me back repeatedly, usually to address another segment of the book.
The first interview, however, was two years earlier on August 29, 2004, when I appeared for an hour with Capt. Dale Dye on his Sunday night military-oriented talk show on KFI in Los Angeles, where we discussed radical Islam and what to do about it.

On-air debate between me and a Peak Oil Awareness official
Set up as a debate between myself and Seattle Peak Oil Awareness, an off-the-wall group that believes the world has passed the midpoint in its oil production capacity, and that wide spread famine and other calamities reside in our future as a direct consequence of our dependence on oil. I debated their chief engineer directly, and shill callers came on line to make specific points that I answered. It was a complete rout!
