You knew this was coming. Anyone who thought the Iranians were just going to roll over and capitulate to Trump's ultimatum does not understand the culture or the social pressures of the Middle East.Now Ayatollah Khomeini has fired back in a statement saying the Iranian nation will respond to Trump's comments on February 10th. Nobody knows what that means, but I'd expect it means another missile test designed to send a big "SCREW YOU" in America's direction. While Trump has worked had to avoid a conflict with Russia he seems determined to start a new conflict with Iran and ruffle feathers with China and Mexico.Don't get me wrong; I've got no issue with our President ruffling feathers. There's far too much consideration given to public sentiment and media response. But I do worry when our Presidents words could expand our war footing and put American lives at risk. ***We're also going to talk a little about gun control and open carry today. You won't find anyone more pro-gun than me, but theses open carry nuts often do more harm than good with their provocative display of weapons. It's another great show, Don't forget to like and share.

Coming up with a title for today was difficult. I'm not sure if I got it right or not, but I thought I'd focus a chunk of the show today on Trump's comments about Russia and the U.S. Government. To say it's a political foe paw to speak about America's dark past would be an understatement. We're brought up hearing about all the wonderful things America, freedom, and capitalism have done for the world, and you know what, it's all true. But our government approved history books conveniently omit things like our war of aggression in the Philipeans, the Moro Rebellion, and My Lai. It's not that we don't hear about these things, but we speak of them as though they are the exception to the rule, a few bad apples in an otherwise unblemished history. But the truth is far less pristine. America, like all nations, has committed its share of atrocities. Just don't mention it to anyone or you'll quickly be labeled anti-American. Trump made such an error this weekend in his interview with Fox's Bill Oreilly. I want to talk with you about those comments and the criticisms of Trump in general. There's a lot of emotion but very little substance in the arguments being put forward.Also, if you wonder why I'm so skeptical of climate change I'll give you more evidence today. It turns out NOAA intentionally falsified climate data to impact the recent Paris Climate Accord. Nobody is looking out for you. Not even the people charged with doing just that.Support the show.

The Israeli-Palestinian debate has been raging for years, and there are a lot of emotions on both sides. Both have made mistakes, and neither side is blameless in its application of violence against the other. With that said there is the TRUTH and there are LIES when it comes to who has the right to control areas of the West Bank and Gaza. Do the Palestinians have a right to the lands in the West Bank? Should there be a two State solution? I'll do my best to give you the facts around this very polarizing debate.***Betsy Devos has cleared yet another hurdle toward her goal of becoming the next education secretary of the United States. To be frank, I don't have any idea if Betsy is qualified for the job or if she'd be any good at it. Since I don't think the government has the constitutional authority to HAVE a DOE, the idea that our education secretary might have ambitions of dismantling or hobbling its ability to harm our education system is refreshing. What I'd like to do is point out the hypocrisy and shameless comments by many of the committee charged with vetting her. I've picked out Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to illustrate my point. I think you'll get a kick out of it.Support the show.

In the wake of the supreme court nomination and the riots at UC Berkeley, you might have missed the comments by National Security Advisor Michael Flynn who put Iran on notice after its recent ballistic missile test.The announcement comes on the heels of a statement by Iran that it would abandon the U.S. dollar in all financial and foreign exchange reports, a move that will no doubt put the dollar conspiracy theorists into a frenzy. ****We'll also discuss the group of left-wing regressive extremists who took to the campus of UC Berkeley to protest the speech of Milo Yiannopoulos. It's symbolic of what progressivism has become, a form of fascism that sees no moral hypocrisy in using violence to silence what they deem as hate speech while screaming profanity and hate filled rhetoric into a megaphone. In typical fashion, the police were on the scene but did nothing to prevent the riots or arrest those involved. ***The JSP Store is Now Open!!!

With the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia, the battle lines in Washington have been drawn.Even before Trumps pick was announced, Democrats were lining up in open opposition to whoever was chosen. Today, Republicans voted to change the rules to push forward the nominations of the HHS Secretary and Treasury Secretary after Democrats refused to attend the committee meeting, preventing a vote from taking place. The Blaze is also reporting the White House has put a ban on spokespeople speaking to CNN claiming the network, "doesn't help them spread their message." The battle lines have been drawn. Today I'm going to explain what's happening on Capitol Hill. Rumors and allegations are flying, and I'm going to separate the truth from the lies.Support the show.
