Now, if you're a right-winger or if you don't stop to ask yourself an honest question you might immediately find yourself angry and bitter over that headline.

But I sat down and tried to come up with a good reason why San Francisco shouldn't allow it and I came up short.

I'll explain everything on the show today but let's just say I didn't end up as outraged as when I read the headline.

I've been sitting in the studio for the past hour listening to one slimy politician after another get behind the mic and feign outrage over Trump's comments yesterday.

And over what? Trump suggesting he might not trust our intelligence community? Well let me be the first broadcaster to go on record saying "I DON'T TRUST OUR INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY!!"

They lie to us repeatedly and show a blatant disregard for the truth and our constitution. However, I don't think the president intended to insult our intelligence officers in the Q&A with reporters. I think he's just not all that bright. Listen to the show to find out more.

**** As promised I've got a full breakdown of the Chicago shooting that's sparked 3 days of riots. Was it justified? Listen now.

**** Finally, after making 20.5 million dollars over the last 12 years, former President Obama had the balls to complain about wealth inequality. It is one of the most hypocritical speeches I've ever heard and I've got some great commentary on it.

Enjoy!

I'm not sure if I'm just getting tired of the rhetoric or if the media is just becoming that unhinged but earlier today former CIA Director John Brennan called out Trump over his comments during a press conference with President Putin of Russia going so far as to call the Presidents comments "treasonous".

Really? Treasonous? You listen and decide.

Andreson Cooper called it disgraceful and every news outlet in America (save Fox News of course) is angling for the presidents head.

What did the president say? Basically, he said there is blame on both side and American and Russia need to work together to foster a better relationship.

SHOCKING!

**** Ron Paul says we're headed for another tumble. To their credit, CNBC had Ron Paul on this morning to discuss debts, deficits and fed policy and as usual, Paul used his time to sound the warning bell of an economic collapse.

I happen to agree but the timing is harder to determine. Until it happens, take the time to get prepared and always listen to this show every day. :)

It's a story so unbelievable you'll have a hard time wrapping your brain around how it isn't the top news story on every station in the world.

I'm talking genocide on the scale of Nazi Germany. I'm not exaggerating. In China today, hundreds of thousands of people are being rounded up every year and killed off to harvest their organs. Not because they are criminals or even being accused of a crime. They are being persecuted and killed for their religious beliefs.

Today Mitchell Gerber blows the lid off this story and helps me understand the scale on which the Chinese government, doctors, and hospitals are conspiring to commit crimes against humanity.

Well not exactly. He told them is America is funding the defense of Europe and they need to pick up the slack by allocation more of their GDP to national defense.

And he's absolutely right. Many of the 29 NATO countries provide little to nothing in the way of their own national defense. NATO was not designed to be a replacement for a standing Army. It was meant to be a union of defense.

**** A ruling by a federal appeals court now allows TSA to do pretty much anything they want to you and be immune from prosecution. It's crazy but true. Listen to the show to find out the details.

Jason

Yes, I know that was quick. After my conversation with Marc yesterday I had a call with Michael Heise and after listening to his vision for the party and the mass of support he'd received I decided I'd join the movement.

I'll give you a full breakdown of my rationale on the show but it's a big step for me and whether you join or not I'm excited to be part of the momentum behind this movement.

**** Trump made his pick in Brett Kavanaugh and I'm going to tell you what I know about him so far.

But everyone is missing the point...

This isn't really about a supreme court justice. It's about money. The nomination of a new justice gives both sides the opportunity to spread fear and hate which always has the money rolling in.

Nothing like a good crisis to get those political dollars flowing.

*** Make sure you listen to the last segment today. (about the 40-minute mark) I talk a little about our perception of reality and how we command our own destiny. I think you'll get a lot out of it.

You know him as the host of the Lions of Liberty Podcast. He is my friend and fellow "lover of the liberties" and today he's going to give us a first-hand account of everything that happened at the LNC this year.

Today Trump fired the first volley in what is likely to be the next great trade war. He imposed a new tariff on 34 Billion in Chinese goods and suggested he may increase the tariff to include 500 Billion.

China in response has increased its tariffs in kind vowing to trade blow for blow with the US President.

It's stupid, unnecessary and dangerous. It hurts every America even the one's whos industry benefits from the tariffs.

**** The BIS tells young people they should "stop trying to create money." And why wouldn't they? That's really the government's job, isn't it? lol.

Meanwhile, the IMF has been slowly and patiently preparing its own currency known as SDR's or "Speical Drawing Rights"

It seems like every time I talk about Democratic Socialism I get accused of using a strawman argument. I have stated (correctly by the way) many times that Democratic Socialism is nothing more than communism by another name. Each time I get a listener who points out Bernie Sanders claim that Denmark and Sweden are proof his ideas work.

Well, let me just put that idea to rest once and for all. What Democratic Socialists like Bernie advocate for is NOT Denmark style government. Quite the contrary. I'll explain on today's show.

**** Trump is skillfully threading the needle on oil, tariffs, and trade by treating our enemies and our allies. Will it end in disaster? I don't know. What I'm sure of is tactics run contrary to the principles we advocate for on this show and I'm going to call him on it.

Jason

Today I'm going to piggy pack off a discussion I've been carrying forward for the past few days. Both the Atlanta and St. Lewis Fed have revised down their GDP projections significantly. This should come as no surprise to any of you considering this typically happens.

Turns out Trump's forecast of 5% GDP growth in the 2nd quarter will most likely come in somewhere between 1.75% and 2%. Right in line with inflation expectations.

Translation? The economy isn't getting better it's just inflating.

**** There's a truck driver shortage in America today. We're short around 63,000 drivers and companies are finally coming to the realization that they can't avoid economics forever.

So they've decided to the one thing that can end their shortage and get drivers back on the road. Offer better pay and benefits.

I'm shocked it's taken this long but the reality is, the free market doesn't always work as quickly as we'd like. The good news is, left alone it will balance itself. It doesn't require government, just the invisible hand of millions of people all pursuing their own self-interest.

Enjoy the weekend!!
