721: The End of Obamacare is in Sight. The Free Market Will Win
Become a Patron!


"

Idaho is laying the groundwork to wrestle way the insurance market from the stranglehold Obamacare has had on it.

Thanks to Congress finally ending the individual mandate requiring you to purchase insurance, the Governor of Idaho was able to loosen restrictions on insurance companies allowing them to come up with more creative, low-cost ways to provide insurance.

What this means is more options with plans that offer fewer benefits but at a significantly reduced price.

EURIKA! There is actually a way to have a plan to fit any budget. Amazing how well a free market can address most any problem.

***
In other news the President has announced he's running for reelection in 2020, going to far as to announce his campaign manager.

If you smell a massive marketing strategy here, you're right. The Republicans are in trouble this year, and I think the president is attempting to revive the fervor surrounding his campaign by announcing his intention to run early.

Despite how you or I might feel about the president he is still very well liked by the Republican base, and his popularity continues to grow. (he has nearly a 50% approval rating)

2018 is going to be an exciting election year. Some seats are going to change hands, and we may even see the Republicans lose the Senate.

Only time will tell.

719: Trump at CPAC and Rick Gates Pleads Guilty
Become a Patron!


"

I like CPAC, I really do. But some of the blind support it fosters is downright scary.

Take Trump for example. The man is one of the worst public speakers I've ever heard. I couldn't even stand to sit a listen to his entire speech. Yet throw in a line about guns here and one about Israel there, and he's got the crowd eating out of his hands.

I've got some clips to run through the highlights of his speech. They were few and far between, but I'll do my best.

This is the kind of day I find the news a tad unmotivating. It's tough to get excited about commenting on a bad speech. But I'll give it my best shot.

***
In other news, Rick Gates will plead guilty to a couple of different charges in exchange for information about fellow conspirator Paul Manifort. Some in the media would have you believe this is all related to Trump and the Russia investigation into his dealings with them but it's not. I'll explain today.

Enjoy your weekend and if you would be willing to support the show you can do so here:

717: The Student Walkout and a Case for Free Speech
Become a Patron!


"

As the gun debate rages in America students are walking out of class in protest of the gun violence experienced in Florida.

Now, I don't know if these kids understand the issues or if their protests will ever amount to anything but I do know that we have a very rare right in this country and that is the right to peacefully protest your government.

So I ask you the question, "How should we treat these young people?" Should we criticize them? Punish them or support them?

I'll discuss on today's show.

715: What is a Libertarian?



"

I get the question a lot. And it's not just about defining libertarianism. For me, it's just as important to understand what we should be doing as libertarians if we want to have the kind of impact we want on government and society.

Today I'll share a nice 50k foot view of what libertarianism is and how you can advance the principles we all believe in.

***
Is there such a thing as common sense gun regulation? Probably not but I've found what I think is a pretty common sense way of dealing with people who pose a real and immediate threat to others.

More on that today.

Enjoy the show and don't forget to share!

714: Tim Donnelly on Immigration, DACA, and Taxes



"

One of my goals for this year is to give liberty-minded men and women running for office a platform to share their ideas.

I make no endorsements and or claims; I simply want you to know who's running in the primaries this year, so you know what your options are.

Today I've got Tim Donnelly. He's running for Congress in California's 8th district.

We cover immigration, DACA, and Taxes...all important issues to Californians.

If you want to know more, you can visit his site at http://donnelly4congress.com

709: A Side of the Refugee Crisis You WON'T hear on the News



"

If you're like me, the only thing you really know about the refugee crisis hitting Europe is that it's a problem.

Right-wing news claims they are a bunch of twenty-something men who are flooding across the borders of Europe with the intention to cause terror and exploit the countries generous social welfare programs.

But about six months ago I met some folks with a very different story. It's group of seven filmmakers (all women by the way) who traveled to Greece to document the refugee crisis. The story their cameras tell is very different.

Today I've asked three of the women to come on the show to talk about their experience.

The film is due out for release later this year, and you can watch the trailer here: https://www.gofundme.com/Refugeeisnotmyname

Enjoy your weekend!

708: Bombshell Testimony Puts Clinton Foundation in Bribery Crosshairs



"

That is not a salacious headline with nothing to back it up. In fact, there is new testimony from a former CIA and FBI asset that claims millions were funneled to the Clinton Foundation by the Russians to facilitate the purchase of the nuclear company Uranium One.

It's an incredible story that shouldn't surprise you in the least especially if you've been following the many scandals to come out of the Clinton Foundation over the years.

Also, should the government force Tide to change the way it's detergent pods look? The answer is NO, but we'll discuss the ridiculous bill they've just submitted in New York.

Enjoy!

706: The One Thing I Don't Want to be Right About



"

As you know, I never miss a chance to tell you how right I am. I'm quite fond of the phrase "don't doubt me." But this is the one thing I wish I were wrong about.

The stock market took a big tumble yesterday, and Although it's rebounded nicely off yesterdays close, there is still a massive amount of risk in the markets today.

A lot of people including banks and bond traders will tell you they're happy to see the volatility back in the market and if you're one of those people then more power to you.

But if you're one of the millions of Americans who are staring down the barrel of another 10, 20, even 50% decline in equity prices along with rising interest rates, the world does not look so rosy.

Today we'll discuss a little about where I think the market is going and what I think you might do to protect yourself.

***
North Korea is apparently months away from having a missile that can hit the US mainland. Is that true? Who knows but it's important we pay attention to the players and the moves they're making. I'm far less concerned about a nuclear attack by North Korea and far more concerned about an international incident that will plunge us into yet another costly and potentially unwinnable war.

***
Are we hypocrites when it comes to riots? We might be. After the Superbowl many Egle's fans set to the streets, turning over cars and generally being bad folks.

Yet the media (and much of America) shrugged it off as harmless fun rather than the serious crime it was. You contrast that with how those same outlets covered the riots in Baltimore or the protests in Charlottesville and you see how we may have a problem.

I just found the subject interesting, and if we have time, we'll discuss today.

Enjoy the show and don't forget to tell a friend!

705: Private Policing, Jay Powell, and Congressional Gridlock



"

Oh yeah, plenty to talk about today. Jay Powell was just sworn in as the new FED chair and boy did he have some nice things to say about the federal reserve. Apparently, the economy is healthy, and it's all because of the FED's tireless work.

***
We've talked about private policing before, but they're trying a version of it in the UK with great success. It turns out the private sector can do things better than the government can even when it comes to solving murders.

***
Finally, it looks like we're headed for another showdown over the budget. The US Treasury says we have enough money to pay our bills through the 28th of February. After that, we hit the debt ceiling and will have to start making cuts to keep things running.

This is why everyone hates politicians. They spend their days focused on things they've got no business dealing with and fail to do any of the work they're constitutionally mandated to do. SHAMEFUL!!

704: FBI Memo Drops - Is it the Bombshell Everyone Expected?



"

Well, it depends on who you ask.

I'm going to walk through the highlights of the memo with you but what I found most interesting is the way the media framed the release of the memo before they knew what was in it.

I've got clips from both Sean Hannity and Joe Scarborough talking about what's in a memo they haven't yet seen. Both making wild predictions about what it says and what implications it will have politically for both parties.

The days of pandering are over. People are losing trust in the media and those in talk radio because none of them are giving you the truth. I will.

Enjoy your weekend,

Jason
