    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    White Lies Matter: The Gospel of MAWA isn’t just a book—it’s a sermon, a roast, and a history lesson rolled into one blistering satire of American politics. Beneath the bright red MAGA cap, the author exposes what the slogan really meant: Make America White Again. 
    With wit as sharp as Twain, the bite of Carlin, and the unflinching honesty of Chappelle, this audiobook takes listeners on a journey through America’s not-so-secret gospel of racial nostalgia. From the election of Barack Obama that shook the foundations of white exceptionalism, to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump baptizing a movement in fear, grievance, and privilege, WLM uncovers how the “American Dream” was fenced off and sold as exclusive property. 
    Each chapter functions like a scripture reading from the Church of MAWA, complete with commandments, proverbs, and revelations that peel back patriotic veneers to reveal the machinery of exclusion underneath. It’s biting, it’s funny, and it’s devastatingly honest—because America’s greatest myths are also its greatest lies. 
    This is not a quiet audiobook. It’s meant to provoke laughter, outrage, and reflection in equal measure. Whether you’re a believer in the gospel of MAWA or a skeptic watching from the pews, White Lies Matter insists you confront the uncomfortable truth: racism was never a glitch in the system—it was the system. 
    At once irreverent and illuminating, this is satire that cuts to the bone and asks the question no campaign slogan dares to touch: Whose America are we really trying to make “great” again?

    In 1993, David Koresh and a band of heavily armed evangelical Christians took on the might of the US government. A two-month siege of their compound in Waco, Texas, ended in a firefight that killed seventy-six, including twenty-five children. America is still picking up the pieces, and we still haven't heard the full story. 
     
     
     
    Kevin Cook finally provides the full story of what happened at Waco. He gives listeners a taste of Koresh's deadly charisma and takes us behind the scenes at the Branch Davidians' compound, where "the new Christ" turned his followers into servants and sired seventeen children by a dozen "wives." In vivid accounts packed with human drama, Cook harnesses never-reported material to reconstruct the FBI's fifty-one-day siege of the Waco compound in minute-to-minute detail. He sheds new light on the Clinton administration's approval of a lethal governmental assault in a new, definitive account of the firefight that ended so many lives and triggered the rise of today's militia movement. Waco drew the battle lines for American extremists—in Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's words, "Waco started this war." With help from sources as diverse as Branch Davidian survivors and the FBI's lead negotiator during the siege, Cook draws a straight line from Waco's ashes to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol and insurrections yet to come.

    In The Decisive Decade, Dr. Jonathan D. T. Ward offers a comprehensive framework for how the US can, and must, defeat China on the world stage economically, diplomatically, militarily, and ideologically. International security and American supremacy are at stake—and now is the time for the US to take action. China's global power and influence grows every day. Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist Party is leading its country toward what it deems "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," and executing a long-term Grand Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the US. As China becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas, it threatens to upend America's global dominance at every turn. 
     
     
     
    Ward provides novel and practical strategies that our government, as well as our businesses and our citizens, can utilize to undermine our adversary. Exhaustive campaigns in the economic, diplomatic, military, and ideological arenas, he argues, must be taken to achieve victory. With expert analysis of the history of US-China relations, as well as insight into how the Russia-Ukrainian war can inform our strategic thinking, The Decisive Decade presents a unique toolkit for our triumph over China. We can succeed, but it won't be easy; it will take all of our nation's ingenuity, confidence, and willpower to win.
