Empire in Decline? America’s Long History in the Middle East

Peter Boyles wraps up the morning with open lines on the rise of socialism in America, frustration with capitalism, U.S. involvement in the Middle East, political corruption and the changing media landscape. The hour also turns personal as Peter welcomes longtime friends into the studio and reflects on the relationships and stories behind his newly announced induction into the Colorado Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

Peter Boyles wraps up the morning with open lines on the rise of socialism in America, frustration with capitalism, U.S. involvement in the Middle East, political corruption and the changing media landscape. The hour also turns personal as Peter welcomes longtime friends into the studio and reflects on the relationships and stories behind his newly announced induction into the Colorado Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

“I’ll Take Care of You”: Why Is Socialism Rising in America?

A deeply personal hour of The Peter Boyles Show begins with longtime friend Ted Scott delivering the news: Peter Boyles has been unanimously selected for induction into the Colorado Broadcasters Hall of Fame, joining a remarkable class that includes his late friend and fellow radio legend Alan Berg. For Peter, the honor becomes even more meaningful when he learns that he will have the privilege of presenting Berg for his posthumous induction.
Then, almost perfectly Peter, the celebration gives way to open lines and some of the biggest questions facing America. Peter and his callers debate the growing popularity of socialism, capitalism and wealth, the changing Democratic Party, and why free-market advocates may be struggling to make their case to younger Americans.

The conversation also continues Peter’s examination of America’s decades-long involvement in the Middle East. Callers challenge him on Iran, nuclear weapons, the Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf Wars and whether the United States can—or should—continue carrying the burden of policing the region.
