    "Salvation" A Thrilling Novel from Kevin Creighton

    In this "must-listen" episode of The Dave Carter Show, Dave talks with writer, firearms expert, and author Kevin Creighton about his newly published novel, "Salvation." Mr. Creighton goes into vivid detail with us, describing how the book weaves the story of retired Army Ranger and bodyguard John Rogers, a man who prefers the quiet life but is drawn back in a darker reality when he's asked to employ his skills to safeguard more gentle souls on a mission of mercy. Author Kevin Creighton employs is extensive knowledge not only of firearms, but of special operations skillsets and tactics. As Dave described it, "This book is like Tom Clancy meets the New Testament." Written in a first person narrarative that sees every detail through keen eyes of John Rogers, the book grabs the reader's attention from the first page all the way through to the edge-of-your-seat conclusion.  Spend a half hour with Dave and Mr. Creighton, and you'll come away with insights on the human condition, elite military operators, and the quest for redemption.  Oh yes, and as is the case with every episode of The Dave Carter Show, there are laughs aplenty as well.

    Dr. Stanley Ridgley; "DEI Exposed"

    This episode marks Dave's debut on Rumble with a full audio/video presentation.  To mark the occasional, Dave had the honor of hosting and interviewing Dr. Stanley Ridgley about his brand new book, "DEI Exposed; How The Biggest Con Of The Century Almost Toppled Higher Education."  Professor Ridgley's book is meticulously sourced to the tune of 599 footnotes, copious original source documentation, and more information than could possibly be contained in a single interview.  As Dave said, "It's like trying to extract a singe teaspoon of water from Niagra Falls." As the conversation unfolds, we are learn of everything about the academic ecosystem that allows fraudsters to gain a veneer of academic credibility with which to wreck higher education from within. The book also contains the practical implications of DEI, including the story of Oceangate, whose CEO advertised that 50 year-old submarine veterans need not apply in the construction and operation of the Titan submarine, which was to explore the Titanic on the ocean floor - the result being that sub imploded some 12,500 feet down into the Atlantic, killing the four occupants instantly.   It's a fascinating conversation in a fascinating new chapter of The Dave Carter Show!

    A Conversation with Ricochet's Dr. Bastiat

    In this episode, Dave sits down with Ricochet's own Dr. Bastiat for free-wheeling discussion on everything from why progressives insist on loudly advocating for policies that don't work (e.g., a lack of border enforcement, lack of adequate policing, a revolving door justice system, anemic defense foreign policy that invites aggression, etc). Is the Democrat party really anti-American? Dr. Bastiat also explains why Joe Biden may actually have been the most successful in history.   Along the way, Dave discusses the left's currently meltdown over President Trump's rapid deportation of violent illegals from American soil. Getting a bit spun up, Dave doesn't stop until he's calling for at least some of these predators to be shipped to Pope Francis himself!  It's a fast-paced episode, and a rivetting conversation between Dave and Dr. Bastiat.  This is one you won't want to miss.
