"You Are The Guest", is a weekly show where everyday people can "be the guest" and tell people what their friends and neighbors think about news events and issues of the day. It’s part talk show, part opinion poll, part reality show. It is completely dependent upon the listeners participation as a guest.
To be a guest is easy. Listeners just need to go to www.youaretheguest.com and submit their first name, the town where they live, and a short description on why they would make a good guest. There is no charge for being a guest, and listeners will have the opportunity to share their opinions on current events and issues of the day and how it effects their everyday life. And we have some fun too, with "Celebrity Square Root" and "Ask Bill 3", where we turn the tables and let the guest ask the host any 3 questions they want.
Sam and Deidre are law partners from Alabama and I've asked them to share both their personal and professional opinions on politics, lawyers, attorney ethics, and some potential legal issues surrounding the death of Anna Nicole Smith. I ask their opinion concerning Howard K. Stern's ethical behavior as a practicing attorney and toss out various scenarios to find out if they think there could be grounds for a civil suit if someone wanted to pursue them. Sam shares a couple of stories about how the state bar associations can be selective in who they allow to practice law and who they decide to go after. I also ask Sam and Deidre to share their opinions on 5 Democratic and 5 Republican Presidential candidates. Sam and Deidre ask me what are the three worst problems in the world today and what would I do to change them, why isn't there a larger demonstrative outrage about the Iraqi War, and what three things would I take with me if I were exiled for life to another country.
Author and financial expert for XM Satellite Radio's 169 The Power, William R. Patterson, joins us to talk about the financial crunch in the housing market, credit card companies, and how to avoid the financial pitfalls that many people fall into. William shares some of the horror stories that people have told him concerning today's housing and lending problems, and we discuss who is to blame for the problems facing the housing market today. William asks me what things could have accelerated my success when I started my own business 5 years ago, if there was a major set back in my life that actually became a stepping stone to greater success, and what kind of a legacy would I want to leave behind in life and the world.
Author Harrine Freeman from Washington D.C. is our guest to talk about an important holiday topic, the credit card business. Harrine and I discuss why the credit card companies target undergraduate students and individuals who will most likely not pay their bills on time. We talk about the root and the size of the problem in the U.S. and I dig into how credit card companies market and prey upon those individuals that are most vulnerable to interest fees and late charges, and you'll hear a credit horror story of how someone became $1,000,000 in debt. We also discuss why the educational system in this country isn't doing enough to teach young people how to manage their finances, and what pitfalls some consumers fall into during the holiday season.

There are many unanswered questions about Governor Bill Richardson's relationship with famed artist RC Gorman. In October of 1997, the FBI began collecting information regarding numerous suspected sexual relationships RC Gorman had with children that spanned over 20 years. Did Bill Richardson know about RC Gorman's illegal activities that involved transporting children across state and international boundaries for illegal sexual activities? If he did know, why didn't Governor Bill Richardson do something about it? Award winning journalist Vern Beachy, who conducted his own investigative news reports tells what he learned about RC Gorman back in 1999 and shares brand new information including the depth of Gorman's association with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and several catholic priests.
