The Shakeout for The Brian Brawdy Show Will Be Live

By Brian Brawdy | Published: July 24, 2010

I think you call it a “Shakeout.” Where you give an idea a “dry run” before you go live with the real, full-on version. Working out the kinks, looking for any bugs, any flaws in your plan? Apparently, I’m not all that bright. The mobile studio (my Lance Camper and Trailer) is ready for its first [...]

Keith Olbermann the Motivation Behind the Brian Brawdy Show

By Brian Brawdy | Published: July 15, 2010

The very first time I contemplated my own news commentary show, the thought came to me immediately following a viewing of the Keith Olbermann Show on MSNBC. Setting the remote down, I shook my head and thought aloud, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” My countdown was on. Starting July, 24th (originally the 22nd) I [...]

Teaching Our Children the True Meaning of Entitlement

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 28, 2010

The annals of Human history, if nothing else, highlight the common struggle of our species. Biblically or biologically, Life fights because it must. Evolution, sacred or secular is an ongoing struggle, a tooth and nail battle to survive. Whether we walked out of the Garden of Eden or the savannas of Africa, our trek was [...]

The Domestication of Survival and Preparedness

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 27, 2010

Readiness is readiness wherever you find yourself. As a “Survival Expert” I’ve always expected survival and emergency preparedness to focus on being stranded in a wilderness without food, water, shelter and the most basic of amenities. Crossing a desert, buried in an avalanche, hiking in the wilds of Alaska, wading the gator filled waters of South [...]

Avoiding a Cranky Constituency in the Healthcare Debate

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 12, 2010

Get over yourself! Just who do you think you are? Of late, all we hear from the proponents of the healthcare reform measures in Washington is the need to “get this bill done” before Congress leaves for Passover/Easter. President Obama, Rahm Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and others are pushing to finish this legislation prior to [...]

Cleansing the Political Gene Pool One Vote at a Time

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 10, 2010

In response to my post, The Problem with Politics IS Politics, I received a comment suggesting the “cleansing of the political gene pool.” As I re-read the suggestion, it started to stick and then grow on me. “Cleansing of the political gene pool” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Perhaps with term [...]

The Problem with Politics IS Politics

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 9, 2010

On a recent Larry King appearance, former Governor Jesse Ventura highlighted what is arguably one of the fastest growing beliefs of the American electorate today. Look at any poll highlighting the favorability ratings of legislative bodies at both federal and state levels. Stated simply both parties, and their established egomaniacs, are a large portion of [...]

Survivornomics – a Blend of Prospering and Preparedness

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 8, 2010

I do not believe that our sole purpose while on this planet is to survive. Life at every level is preprogrammed to thrive and though it sounds like a semantics debate, the two ways of looking at your time on our planet frame both how you look at life overall as well as your daily [...]

Keeping the Dems and GOP on the Ropes

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 6, 2010

Recently, I opened a post with the following question. “Lately, I’ve enjoyed watching the partisan politicians and pundits squirm, explaining the ’stunning’ election of Scott Brown to the Senate seat long held by Ted Kennedy. That so many electoral experts miss the underlying meaning and what it foretells about the 2010 midterm election is equally [...]

48 State Tour Teaches Me One Political Lesson

By Brian Brawdy | Published: March 5, 2010

For the last two years I have traveled our country in the Mobile Base Camp RV. I’ve logged 125,000 miles of driving, 48 States, 2 borders, 2 coasts and a myriad of encounters and lessons. In many of my TV interviews I am asked, “Tell us about the coolest place you’ve been, Brian” and my [...]
