The show is broadcast on Sirius Satellite's Indie Talk Channel 110 and can be heard globally.

Johns will discuss the nation's urgent need for pro-growth economic policies, including business, gasoline and personal tax relief, targeted assistance for holders of non-conventional mortgages, Medicare and Social Security reform, ending reckless Congressional earmark spending, expanding job retraining opportunities, and other policies that can help place the nation's economy back on a growth track.

A long-time Democrat, Silver left the party following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and has since been generally supportive of President George W. Bush's efforts in the global war on terror. Silver also authors a widely-read blog dedicated largely to public policy topics.
