549: Delta's Profit Motive Beats Government Good Intentions



"

Do you ever wonder why government inefficiencies never seem to get fixed? The TSA has, from its inception, been plagued with problems. From long lines and employee, malfeasance to cost overruns. Everyone hates the TSA. Even if you're sympathetic to the workers, you can't help but curse under your breath every time you're forced to stand in a 30-minute line before being stripped and scanned.

Why don't these problems get solved? It has to do with incentives. What incentive does the TSA have to improve their processes and provide a better experience? The answer is zero. The TSA gets its funding from the government. They have no direct responsibility to you. If you're unhappy with your experience, you can't pick a different screening provider the next time. Nor can you withhold your money by choosing to travel by car or train. The TSA is going to get paid no matter what.

The only incentive the TSA has is to make sure they always follow the make sure the line keeps moving and the laptops come out of the bags.

Contrast this with the private sector who have a profit motive with everything they do. Yes, the GREEDY corporation only concerned with its own bottom line. Delta, one such company, just did what the TSA has been unable to do since its formation. It solved the wait times at the Atlanta airport.

By investing its own money it signal handily cut wait times by up to 90%. How could this be? Simple, they wanted to make more money, and they were tired of spending millions to rebook unhappy passengers due to missed flights and TSA inefficiencies.

The desire for profit pushes companies to be as efficient and consumer friendly as possible. A free market, consisting of competing companies, helps to drive down costs while creating a better quality product. This is something you will never see in a government run monopoly.

We can learn a lot from Delta and the TSA. These lessons apply to a host of problems America now faces from education to Obamacare.

548: LA Cop Opens Fire: Justified Shoot or Overreaction?



"

Lots of discussion about policing today. Not because that's the way I intended it, it's just the way the show broke out.

We start with the shooting in LA where (allegedly) an off-duty LA Police Officer put hands on a kid who was trespassing on his property. I struggle ensued, and the officer pulled his gun. The gun went off, an apparent accident and the crowd that had gathered dissipated.

So was this an issue of a heavy handed on power hungry cop or is it a justified use of force? Today I'll tell you what I think, and I'm not sure you're going to like the answer.

From there we'll talk about a new law that will allow police in Tucson to arrest peaceful protesters to prevent potential violence. If I can think of any reason to use violence, it would be in defense of one of my God given rights. (Say the freedom of speech).

It's a great show today with lots of back and forth between Darren and I. I think you're going to enjoy it.

547: Second Amendment Under Fire and the Lies Government Tells Us



"

Whether we're talking about second amendment rights or the right to keep what we earn, the natural rights provided by "our creator" as well as those protected by the Constitution are under constant assault.

Today we're going to look at several examples of the ways government lies to us, and why we must be ever vigilant when given, we hear these silver tongued foxes promise us the moon in exchange for our liberty.

I have come to believe the greatest threat to our liberty is not a foreign government or invading army. It's not even a terrorist attack. The greatest threat to our liberty comes from our own government, and it's constant intrusion into every aspect of our lives.

546: Philly Learns an Important Lesson About Taxation



"

It never quite works out the government thinks it will. They THINK, if they just raise taxes, they can bring in more money.

Need more money for schools? Just raise Taxes.

Have a shortfall in your budget? Raise Taxes.

Have a new infrastructure plan and need money to pay for it? Raise taxes.

Now they don't always raise taxes. Sometimes they put you into debt by selling bonds, but no matter how you slice it, you end up taking it on the chin.

It still amazes me that, although they have tried to tax us into prosperity time and time again, it never works out the way they expected.

Take Philadelphia for example. They recently passed a new Soda Tax. A 51% tax on all sugary drinks. They thought they'd receive a tax windfall. Instead, they saw sales decline by 30-50%, mass layoffs and the threat of running a shortfall in their education budget.

They say madness is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different response. That being true, we are governed by mad men.

***
Also on the show, Michigan State is banning white boards on dorm doors to prevent the chance "mean words" might be written to students.

It's not just Michigan State that's going off the deep end. More than 200 colleges and universities around the country now have what are effective "bias response teams" to police speech on campus. Students are encouraged to turn in fellow students, teachers, even political disagreements to these response teams for review.

It's a mad, mad world. Don't be part of it. Get your sanity back. Listen to the JSP Now!

544: Trump, Putin, and the Media. Who's Telling the Truth?



"

Trump has lashed out at the media again, this time calling them "the enemy of the America people." The media has responded by suggesting this is a tactic used by dictators to silence a free press.

John Mccain has weighed in on the issue even going as far as to criticize the president while giving a speech in Germany. Not directly mind you, but he did give a point-by-point takedown of the president's worldview calling it Nationalism.

But how much credit should we give McCain? Fellow senators like Rand Paul say not much, claiming McCain's criticisms are a reflection of a personal feud between him and the president. Rand went on to suggest McCain has been on the wrong side of history for the last four decades.

Today, I'm going to tear into this feud and explore some of the criticisms of both Trump and McCain to see if we can find some truth among the spin.

Also, If you thought I was joking about the government taxing robots I've got some great comments by Bill Gates. Can you say, hypocrite?

543: Trump Press Conference Breakdown and His Ongoing Media War



"

I said yesterday that we were going to have some great clips of Trump's recent press conference and today I deliver. Trump claims he wants a "fair" and "honest" media. Is that true or does he simply want a sympathetic and supportive media?

Our media has an important responsibility. The are another check again power. It's their job to help expose corruption and inform the citizenry of what's happening in their government. They should be skeptical and confrontational. The media and government are not friends. Their relationship SHOULD be strained. But has our media become so politicized that it can no longer fulfill it's role?

I happen to think the answer is yes, and no. I'll pull several clips from the Trump press conference to prove my point. The press is not perfect, in many cases they are incredibly biased but that doesn't mean every time the press challenges Washington its a political witch hunt.

Thanks for listening! Don't forget to Share!

542: KrisAnne Hall Talks Supreme Court and Original Intent



"

With all the talk about executive orders, Supreme Court Nominees and judicial oversight I thought it would be a good idea to bring KrisAnne Hall back on the show to discuss the role of the judiciary, specifically the supreme court and it's intent under the constitution.

Most of you know who KrisAnne is but if you don't you can check out her website and podcast here.

http://krisannehall.com/

She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the subject of our constitution and the history of our nation. I'm alway excited to get a chance to talk with her and today is no different.

Check out the show and don't forget to share! We need to educate our nation on our responsibilities as citizens and it starts right here with this episode.

541: American Freedom and Healthcare on Life Support



"

We've fallen again. The Heritage Foundation now ranks America 17th on its list of 180 freest countries on earth. America is now less free than countries like Estonia and the UAE. Canada ranks 7th, a full ten countries above us.

I'm disheartened every time I see these rankings come out. How can we still call ourselves the land of the free and home of the brave? We're not even brave enough to stand up to our own elected representatives.

Tax season is here, and once again I'm questioning what exactly I'm paying for. Every other bill for service I get has an itemized list of things I've paid for. The one exception is my tax bill. All proponents of big government claim all this tax money goes to pay for services and products we all need. I want a list. I want the government to explain where my money goes. The problem is they can't. They can't because even they don't know where all the money goes. But if you're wondering if this is the year you should protest the fed by not paying your overlords might I suggest you think twice. It is a terrible injustice we are subject to each year, but it's far worse to end up doing 10-20 for tax evasion.

540: Michael Flynn Resigns as Media Sharks Smell Blood in the Water



"

Once again the media has taken a non-story and turned it into a scandal. Here's the short of it. Flynn as committed no crime. He was cleared by the FBI of any potential issues as it relates to his conversations with the Russian Ambassador. He DID, however, tell the Vice President that he had not discussions regarding Russian sanctions, a statement that was later proved to be false.

So, Flynn is guilty (at worst) of lying to the Vice President, and that assumes it was, in fact, a lie and not merely a misstatement. I find it hard to believe the former national security advisor would intentionally lie to the Vice President especially considering he had done nothing wrong. Naturally, we don't know the whole story, but we do know this is, at worst, a minor controversy involving internal White House communications.

It hasn't stopped the media from blowing this story up into a full-fledged frenzy. I'll lay out the truth for you on the show today, and We'll also talk about some creative ways to pay for education that doesn't involve taxes.

Great show today, don't forget to share!

538: Tyranny of the 9th Circuit



"

What happens when the law becomes nothing more than the decision of three judges in California? What happens when the law becomes nothing but the decision of one man in Washington D.C.? The answer is, liberty dies.

That is what we face today. A president who rules by executive order and a court that supplements the law for its own political opinion. Today we're going to talk about the 9th Circuits decision and what it means for our liberties.

***
I'm also going to discuss the call by Yvette Felarca for more riots to silence speech and scare people into compliance. She was on a local news station recently calling for terrorism to achieve the goals of her group "By Any Means Necessary" (BAMN).

I hate bullies, and I'm willing to fight to defend our liberty. If progressives are going to use terror to achieve their ends, they're going to find me, and men like me, very unforgiving.
