The Jason Stapleton Program

Many students today are facing culture shock when they leave college and start looking for work. They've been brought up in a society that is so wealthy that not only do children do not need to work but where those same kids can go from birth to their mid 20's without ever holding down a job.

Such was the situation that one young intern found herself in recently when she decided to challenge her office dress code by getting all the interns in the office to sign a petition requesting the dress code be changed.

Not only did she and the other interns lose their jobs, but she was also confused and felt she was unfairly treated by her bosses.

And why wouldn't she feel that way? By her admission, she's never had a job. She's always "focused on her schooling". She comes from a world where her ideas and opinions are treated with respect. (No matter how foolish or absurd those ideas might be.)

College is not preparing our students for the real world. It's indoctrinating them into an ideology that has no basis in reality. These adult children are now coming out of school poorly educated and with no idea how the "real world" works.

Being terminated from her job be the most valuable lesson this young intern ever learns but judging by her reaction I don't think her firing had the desired effect of fracturing her alternate reality or delivering the wake-up call she desperately needs.

I'm tired of giving up ground. The progressive playbook is so predictable. They exploit every opportunity to restrict liberty and trample on our Constitution. No more. It's time to draw a line, dig in and refuse to fall back.

Yeah, I wish that headline was an exaggeration, but it's not. I told you this was coming. Globalists got caught flat-footed when the vote to leave the EU didn't go their way, and now they're doing everything they can to nullify the results. I've said before that there's an easy way to know if a libertarian has lost an argument. He'll just call you a statist. For progressives (read globalist) the term is racist. If you position has no merit or is indefensible based on logic, reason and fact, simply call your opponent a racist and then you can claim all of their ideas to be suspect. Leftists have done this with Donald Trump. After he received the endorsement of the KKK, the media, and the democratic socialists pounced, attempting to tie Trump's views with that of the KKK. It's an easy sell since Trump's comments on immigration have been anything but diplomatic. Piggybacking off the race discussion, I want to cover a story involving a TV reporter and a few remarks she made on Facebook that got her fired. In America today you've got to be careful anytime you bring race into a conversation. It might just cost you your job.Support the show.

Markets are in an uproar today after the UK voted to leave the EU. But has anyone bothered to look at what happens next? I think a lot of people believe that a British separation from the EU is inevitable, even imminent but nothing could be further from the truth.

By my estimation, it's going to take at least two and a half years for the UK to make it's transition and that's assuming there are no political shenanigans that come up. Considering that a mere 2% separated the winners from the losers, it would not be at all unlikely to see some MP's step up to block the referendum from being implemented.

What you need to understand is that we are years away from any change coming to the trading relationship between the UK and EU, and a lot can happen between now and then.

From the EU discussion, we'll move to guns where I'll play some interesting comments from Charlie Rangel, who apparently believes he deserves to be protected by guns while you should be forced to fend for yourself.

It's a crazy backward world out there, and it's getting crazier by the day. Don't miss a minute of today's show. You won't here this type of commentary anywhere else in media.

Last night marked the first prime time opportunity for co-presidential nominees Gary Johnson and Bill Weld to speak directly to Americans about their "unique" view on politics.

Moderated by Chirs Cuomo, who I can only assume drew the short straw, the town hall was a series of rambling policy explanations and repeated contradictions as Gary Johnson attempted to mumble and stutter his way through a series of gaffes and missteps, even being caught in a lie at one point.

I know that many of you will maintain your support for Mr. Bean and Wild Bill even after they referred to Obama as a "good guy" and Hillary as "a friend." I'm sure you'll still cast your vote for a man who back-peddled on his legalization position and advocated for the social welfare state. You'll do it for the same reason progressives continue to support economic ideas that have been debunked time and time again. You'll do it because you don't want to admit you were wrong.

Above all else what bothers me the most about Gary J and Wild Bill is they are clearly unprepared and lack even a basic understanding of their police opinions. They have no pride in what they do or what they stand for. It's shameful we have these two man representing our ideas. No one voting in this election is going to know what libertarianism is. Even if Gary was a libertarian (and I contend his is not) he lacks either the desire or ability to explain his positions.

Shame on the LP for nominating these two clowns. Pray we don't get 15%. These men will be made to look like fools on a debate stage. After the convention libertarians don't need any help looking stupid.

It's a jam-packed show today folks and we kick it off will a little update on the Orlando shooter. For a week now I've been telling you that the narrative of this guy being a radical extremist just didn't match his actions and today, I got some vindication. A former lover has come forward to claim that Mateen felt "used" by many of the men at the Pulse nightclub. He allegedly even had sex with one man who ended up being positive for HIV. Mateen's former lover said he was "100% gay" and that Mateen told him he was going to get back at those he felt had wronged him. This is almost verbatim what I said on the show just a few days ago. Is this guy Mateen's lover? I don't know. But I do know the story matches the facts much closer than anything the media is reporting right now. I think it will turn out to be far closer to the truth than anyone could have imagined. From there its on to a discussion of the Brexit. Voting happens tomorrow, and no one knows how it's going to turn out. I'm on record saying I think they're going to leave. I'll have all the commentary you can take tomorrow. JasonSupport the show.

I'm light on show notes this today. I have to work quick so I can get out of the studio at a decent time but today we're going to be talking about a couple of court decisions that further illustrate the show erosion of our constitutional liberty. But before we get to all of that I'm going to tell you about my winter project. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a custom motorcycle build. I've always wanted a cafe racer, and I've been doing some research this week to price it out. I'm looking to start the build in late fall and have the bike ready for the streets next spring. It's an ambitious project since I don't have any experience in motorcycle mechanics or bike building, but I know what I want, and I've found some resources here in KC to help me with it. If any of you have experience building triumph cafe bikes let me know. It would be nice to talk shop.JasonSupport the show.

This is an interesting episode. I had a huge stack of news articles to talk about today, and I didn't make it though half of them. The more I look at the world around me the more concerned I become with the ever expanding nanny state and seeming desire by many for more and more of it.

Why do we continue to allow our civil liberties to be trampled? In the past week, I've shown evidence of police, politicians and media either calling for or outright violating the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th amendments to the constitution.

This cannot last. It is no longer enough to defend our rights and liberties. Until we, as a group, are willing to defend the liberty and constitutionally protected rights of our neighbors we will never see the change we desire.Support the show.

Yesterday I alluded to some comments by Senator Joe Manchin on MSNBC's Morning Joe. The senator suggested that the problem with gun violence today has to do with due process. That pesky 5th amendment that requires the government to have evidence against you before charging you with a crime.

That terrible constitutional protection that prevents the government from depriving you of life, liberty or property without due process. The same amendment that protects the accused from self-incrimination.

Yes, Senator Manchin thinks that's what's keeping the government from being able to protect the people. Well, I've had enough. I'm calling for the resignation or expulsion of Joe Manchin. He swore and oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and I submit to you he is now one of those domestic enemies.

From there we move on to "Wild" Bill Weld, Co-President for the libertarian party and his comments about the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

It's sad when a libertarian show host has to defend the principles of liberty not just from the left and the right but also from the representatives of the libertarian party as well.

Have a great weekend everyone. Don't forget to share the show.Support the show.
