The Jason Stapleton Program

I don't typically do interviews but as I prepare for our shooting event later this month I've been doing some interviews to make sure you guys have great shows while I'm away.

Matt Carter has a great podcast that's centrally focussed around music, but he also uses his show to branch out and learn some new concepts and ideas. I really like Matts southern style and his relaxed manner. I think you will too.

You can check out all his shows at http://www.breakitdownpodcast.net/

Enjoy!Support the show.

Yeah, I know it's not Friday but I won't be in the studio tomorrow, so I thought we would bump up this segment since everyone seems to enjoy it so much.

It is my great honor to welcome Constitution Party Nominee Darrell Castle to the show today. We've had the chance to talk with several third party nominee's over the last year, and I think this will be another insightful discussion.

I know a lot of you have been perplexed about who to vote for this year. Castle is not a libertarian, but he does hold some very libertarian positions. He also holds some contradictory ideas and this interview is going to give you a chance to judge him for yourself and decide if he meets your standard of electability.

Over the weekend we managed to get some insight into Hillary Clinton's health, and it's not good. Apparently, it's not allergies as her campaign stated earlier but pneumonia. And who knows if that's even truthful? How can we trust anything that comes ...

Another week gone already. That means it's time for another "Ask Me Anything" Friday session. A time when you can submit your question and if it's good I'll answer it during the show.

There are no restrictions today. We don't have to talk about politics or economics. We can talk about family, business, success, anything that's important to you.Support the show.

Then he made things worse by admitting he needs to "get smarter."

It's rare that I find myself running the Gary Johnsons defense. Most of the time I find myself criticizing him, his comments and positions but this morning on Morning Joe, Gary was caught by Mike Barnicle in a gotcha question designed to trip him up. The question succeeded and Gary came off looking foolish.

It could have happened to anyone and Gary could have done several things to mitigate the damage. Instead, he made the issue worse by opening his mouth again to reporters.

I've got all the clips, and I'll go through all of it with you. This could be the nail that puts the Johnson/Weld coffin on the ground.

I got an interesting link from a listener about a book claiming algorithms that determine sentencing and mortgage rates are racist. On its face this seems ridiculous but under close inspection, you discover that it is, in fact, ridiculous. I'll give you the whole story today.

The day after Cruz dropped out of the race back in May I've been telling you to watch Mark Levin as he worms his way around to supporting Donald Trump.

Keep in mind Levin was a self-described "never-trumper." yet yesterday he indicated he would vote for Trump come election day.

It's proof yet again; you need to watch what people do not what they say.

Hillary has been struggling with a nagging cough. I'm not sure if it's a serious heath problem or simply the fact that she's a 70-year-old woman who's giving 2-3 speeches a day. Either way, she's having trouble getting through appearances and even talking to the press.

The bulk of today's episode is focused around the idea of agencies. Hillary recently put out a plan to keep drug costs down that includes vesting power in another unelected agency to fine companies deemed as "exploitative" or "unfair".

This comes alongside the recent announcement that ITT technical institute will close it's doors after 50 years in business. The announcement came shortly after news that the federal government would cut off access to federal loans and require ITT to put up nearly 40% of its revenue as collateral against student loans.

Our government was never designed to be gigantic, corrupt behemoth that it's become. Come with me as we explore the dangers of unelected, unchecked world of government agencies.Support the show.

Right again! I want you all to realize how hard it is to keep my ego in check when I keep being proven right. :-)

Several new studies show there is likely no link between Zika and the birth defect microcephaly (shrunken head).

The New England Journal of Medicine is finalizing a study that followed 12,000 pregnant women who were infected with Zika. Not a single case of microcephaly was reported. Once again, just like ebola, swine flu, bird flu and every other virus that was supposed to spark the next pandemic, we find out it was much to do about nothing.

The money flows from government to researchers who then create a panic that government must sweep in to solve, not unlike the way our banking system works.

We also had numbered out today, and again the analysts misted the mark. They expected 180,000 jobs and got 151,000. This has sent some confusion into a market that was starting to think the Fed was serious about raising rates.

Expectations about a rate rise have dropped, but I'm not so sure I agree. Yesterday we talked about some odd selling of gold around the $1300 psychological level. This smells funny to me and reeks of an inside tip. I would not be shocked at all now to see a rate rise of a quarter point. Then again it could be nothing.

Today is also Friday which means we've got Q&A, the segment where I answer your questions live on the air. It's the perfect way to end the week.

Finally, don't forget we have no show on Monday since it's labor day so get out there and celebrate some labor! I'll talk to you again Tuesday.

It's days like today that I'm really proud of our show. I've been trying to keep you apprised of the recent struggles of Deutsche Bank. I've you've been listening for more than a couple days you know they are on the verge of collapse and are all but begging the German government for financial support.

Now we find out that they've been unable to satisfy a request for gold delivery by a client of Xetra-Gold for whom they are a sponsor.

I know you have a lot of questions about who Xetra-Gold is and why Deutsche is refusing to pay. I'm going to go over all of it today on the show. What I will tell you now is, if you think your gold is safe in the bank, you might want to reevaluate your savings arrangement. I've got a feeling you're going to see more cases of this in the future.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a ban on gun sales to people with a medical marijuana card. It looks like the progressives have found another way to violate your 2nd Amendment protections and They've got the courts backing them up.

Finally, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is considering reclassifying our nation's elections as "critical infrastructure" thus putting it under the purview of the federal government. It's just the latest attempt by the Feds to centralize power in D.C. It's up the States to stop them now. This is why we need to have a heavy focus on local and state elections. Without support at the local level, we'll never get enough momentum to fight back against this type of unrelenting assault.
