659: The Clinton Uranium Scandal



"

Well, there always seems to be a bombshell that drops while I'm out of town and this time it was a new Clinton scandal.

The irony that Bill and Hillary, two people who tried hardest to burn Trump over a Russian scandal, find themselves exposed to their own Russian connection. Not for power but for profit.

But before you go thinking we've got the Clintons dead to rights we need to talk about the facts.

Unfortunately, the media is either ignoring the story, or they're playing it up like it's treason. The truth, as I read it, is more complicated.

I'll break down the story today, and I'll bring you up to speed on what's been happening while I was gone. I was traveling quite a bit and had a couple of adventures.

Enjoy,

Jason

656: Gun Control, Tax Reform, and Tom Petty



"

It's another dark day. Frontman for the Heartbreakers, Tom Petty has died at age 66. 66!! That's crazy! I have no idea if it was genetic or if he just burned the candle at both ends but he was an incredible talent, and it seems like he left this earth too early.

We've got some additional information on the Vegas shooter. The motive is still elusive, but it appears he used a "Bump-Stock" to convert his semi-auto rifles into full-auto rifles. I'll explain what a Bump-Stock is on the show today.

We're also going to look at tax reform. There are a lot of questions surrounding the Republican plan, and I want to try and explain what I think they're doing and the likelihood it gets done.

Finally, if we have time, we'll discuss the current attempt by a Chinese investment group to purchase the Chicago Stock Exchange. It brings up questions about the free market and a lot of emotions as well.

Enjoy!

564: FED Admits QE Doesn't Work!



"

Once again, if you just stick to the truth and be unapologetic eventually that truth will set you free.

For years the FED has been talking about Quantitative Easing as the solution to our economic problems. "Prime the Pump!!!" they'd scream. "Don't worry; we know what we're doing."

They do not.

One of the Feds own economists has now admitted what many of us have known for so long. QE doesn't work. It creates bubbles, distorts asset prices and creates a general mess, but it doesn't help heal an economy.

Enjoy!

653: What Happens When the Fed Stops?



"

It would seem the Fed has been prepping the market for a big announcement. It's widely believed the Fed will announce once its intention to start shrinking it's balance sheet today.

Some of that might be confusing so let me clarify...

When the housing bubble burst, the Fed responded by creating trillions of dollars out of thin air. All that money has created bubbles in stocks, bonds, corporate debt, even art and real estate have been affected.

So what happens to the economy when the Fed finally says, "We're done, and we're going to start pulling the money back."

My hunch is we're going to see an economy that wakes up from its heroin-induced coma and falls apart.

Today we're going to discuss a great article from zero hedge that uses some mind-boggling facts about stock prices that will help put all of this into perspective.

I've also got a barn burner of a speech Maxine Waters gave recently. Get ready to be entertained and a little sick to your stomach.

652: Check Your White Privilege



"

I had intended to talk about Facebook today, but I ran off in so many different directions that I never got around to it.

Today we're going to talk about Trump's recent speech at the UN, Hillary's continuous campaign to blame everyone but herself for the election loss and we're going to chat about a San Diego professor who handed out extra credit to anyone who'd take a white privilege survey.

Really good show today,

Jason

647: America Has a Tax Problem...



"

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Americans spent more in taxes than they did on food and clothing combined in 2016. The percentage difference was roughly +14%.

If you can believe it, the same data shows that, in just three years, the average American tax bill increased by 41.13%.

Frustrating as it might be I feel the need to reiterate the most important truth about government one can commit to memory...

...Nobody is looking out for you.

Sure they say they have your best interest at heart but is it really in your best interest for the government to take more from you in taxes than what you spend to feed and clothe your family?

Is there no limit to the entitlement some in government have to your fruits of your labor? What should we consider a reasonable amount of theft?

This type of violation will never end until we decide to elect representatives rather than politicians. It will take a conscious effort on our part as individuals to carefully screen those we choose to support for political office. And if they turn out to be liars and cheats who deceived us then we have the responsibility to correct our mistake and seek new representation.

It's been a great week. Enjoy your weekend. I'll talk to you on Monday.

646: Nick Sarwark Talks About the LP, White Nationalism, and Tom Woods



"

I have to say this is the most abrasive interview I've ever done. Nick, to his credit, asked to come on the show even after I warned him it was going to be a non-permissive environment.

Nick and I discuss the recent controversy with Tom Woods, the implications that Tom and others at the Mises Institute support white nationalism and the future of the Libertarian Party.

I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to who won this argument, but there's no question Nick and I differ on a host of issues.

Hope you enjoy the fireworks.

644: I Love Price Gouging and So Should You. Here's Why...



"

It pains me even to take time discussing the idiotic notion that price gouging is somehow evil or even bad for the economy. Most economists don't even bother explaining it because it seems ridiculous to spend time arguing that prices changes relative to demand are somehow a bad thing.

But it is this very lack of clarification from those in a position to give it that creates the window of opportunity social justice warriors need to spread disinformation.

Most of them are just Johnny and Susie DoGooders who lack the education necessary to understand what they're advocating for but that doesn't make their ideas any less destructive.

The truth is that price gouging is a good thing. It's a necessary thing for an economy to function correctly. Anyone who says differently is either lying to you or don't know what they're talking about.

Today I'll discuss a couple of price gouging examples in Texas and how it helps ensure goods and resources go where they are most needed.

We'll also discuss Antifa, the violent protests in Berkeley and Trump's decision to recent the ban on police militarization.

Big day today. Enjoy the show!

644: It's Your Fault



"

I'm fond of this saying. I use it a lot when I teach. I use it because, before I can help someone change their life I first have to get them to take responsibility for where they are. From there I can help them get where they want to go.

I think it's only a matter of time before Trump gets blamed for the recent disaster in Texas. It won't be his fault. No president can be held responsible for the weak reaction of 10,000 government workers. But that's not going to keep the media from blaming him.

What get's me fired up is the expectation by those in the media that it is governments responsibility to make sure you get out of town before disaster strikes.

Keep in mind this wasn't a tornado. The citizens of Houston had days to get out of the city. If you waited until the last minute, you might have had trouble leaving, but you had more than enough notice that a major storm was coming.

So if you didn't get out who's fault is it? If you haven't guessed, it's your fault. One of the great frustrations I have is how little personal responsibility people have these days. It's always somebody else's problem. It's someone else's fault. I'm sick of it. Man up. Take responsibility for your self and your family. Manage your business and grow up. Stop waiting for someone to show up and hold your hand.

It's great to be back in the studio this week, thanks so much for being part of the show. And if you're ready to change your life here's something I think might help.

641: Charlottesville, White Nationalists, Antifa and Chris Cantwell



"

I apologize in advance for the poor audio in this episode. I don't have my system set up in the new studio yet, and I'm using a simple USB mic, and the audio is a bit poppy.

I know a lot of you are interested in my thoughts on Charlottesville and the violence we've seen over the last week.

Here are my thoughts, as clear as I can make them.
