From Trump's latest travel ban to his new budget proposal the president has been met with nothing but pushback from both Democrats and Republicans. Many pundits have said the Democrats are a political party in disarray, but from my chair, it would seem they are far better mobilized and clear on their mission than the Republicans are. The Republican Party is fundamentally broken. They appeal to a mostly conservative, limited government block of American voters but once in office they rarely make good on their tuff talk on the campaign trail. It's not as thought Trump's proposals are all that great. The new Obamacare is a disaster and Trump's own budget does nothing to curb government spending. If we want Washington to change we've got to change the people IN Washington. They're not going to leave on their own. We've got to show them the door when primary season rolls around.Support the show.

I was watching TV last night when Twitter started blowing up with claims that MSNBC host Rachel Maddow had secured Trump's tax returns. But instead of cutting into regularly scheduled programming to drop this bombshell on the world MSNBC instead decided to wait and reveal them on Maddow's show. For half a minute I considered switching over from a riveting film starring Bryan Cranston to check out what Maddow but I decided against it when I realized she likely had nothing and social media would no doubt relay the information the second it was available.It turns out Maddow's "scoop" debunked what progressives have been claiming for months, namely, that Trump had paid no taxes in years due to creative accounting. It turns out Trump made about 150 million dollars and paid 36.5 million in taxes. According to some reports, that's more than MSNBC, and it's parent company paid. So, to boost ratings Maddow ends of blowing the controversy over Trump's tax rate and ends up with egg on her face. To save what little dignity she had left she spent the balance of her show speculating about where the $150 million came from and stoked the flames of another progressive conspiracy about Trump's ties with Russia.Support the show.

No, not exactly, but it had a major setback last week. It's a stretch to call it a setback. What really happened was the SEC stated publicly what professional traders and investors have been saying for years. In its decision, the SEC denied a proposal to launch the first regulated bitcoin exchange. The launch of a Bitcoin ETF would have opened new doors for the new digital currency that struggles with liquidity issues and high volatility.I have been a voice of reason in the hype that surrounds Bitcoin these days. I've tried to point out the dangers investors face when putting money into Bitcoin and I've been met with a wall of resistance from those I call "Bitcoin Apologists" who are suggesting I don't know what I'm talking about and claim I need to "educate myself." So I thought today I'd explain in detail why I don't invest in Bitcoin and why you might want to use caution in making your own decision. I'm not telling you it's right or wrong for you. I don't know you. But I can tell you what to look out for and help you understand the dangers if you do decide to invest. *****Follow Jason on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jason_StapletonFollow Jason on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasonstapletonfan/Follow the JSP on FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/theliveshowtv/Visit the JSP Website: http://www.jasonstapleton.com/Support the show.

We've got ourselves in a real mess. America has managed to find itself in conflict around the world. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen all have an active military presence. Then there's saber rattling in Russia, China, and North Korea. Recently North Korea launched several missiles into the ocean off the coast of Japan and claimed they were practicing hitting U.S. military targets in Japan. America responded by sending the THAAD Anti-Missle Defense system to South Korea. China and Russia didn't like that one bit. They claim the system isn't designed to defend South Korea but rather to spy on Russian and Chinese military capabilities. We are in a foreign policy nightmare, and if we're not careful, it could turn into a world war. It's time America reevaluate it's entire foreign policy doctrine before it's too late.Support the show.
