The Jason Stapleton Program

You know, each day I do this show I only have one goal and that's to make it better than yesterday’s show. Now that is an extremely high bar but it keeps me on my toes. I wish I could tell you every single show I do is the best show I've ever done but that wouldn't be the truth. Since TRUTH is a pretty important concept to me I have to admit I've done my fair share shows that I feel were not a good reflection of what I'm capable of. This show is not one of those shows.Today I want to attack the idea of Citizenship. We place a pretty high importance on it. So much so that every politician and media outlet in the world is, right now, focused on what needs to be done to protect it.But why do we hold citizenship in such high esteem? Why do we protect it with an almost religious zeal? Today I want to discuss just that. Also, it doesn't matter what side of the political isle you're on, you can find would be dictators ready and waiting to impose their will on you and your life. Today we'll look at Darrell Trigg, a Christian fanatic that wants to change America in a radical way.Make sure you tune in! JasonSupport the show.

I don't know if we've ever talked about gun control on this show which is strange given all the shootings we've had this year. But with the recent attack in Virgina I thought it would be good to talk a little about my thoughts on protecting the public.We're also going to talk a little about the economy so make sure you tune in.JasonSupport the show.

Well I knew it was coming. I make some bold statements on yesterday’s show about the market, gold, inflation and government spending. I went "off script" if you want to refer to it that way, in an attempt to explain WHY many of the doom and gloom scenarios haven't come true.I also took a jab at Peter Schiff for his incorrect prognostications about the market, gold and inflation. This got a lot of people fired up. Frankly the TRUTH hurts. And when the truth runs contrary to our own understanding and/or belief, our natural inclination is to reject it out of hand. We hear what we want to hear and label the truth teller accordingly.So today I take those critics to task on their comments.We also discuss more on Venezuela. They're not having food riots as their people descend into starvation. It is a living breathing picture of what socialist policies do to a nation.  Don't miss this episode! JasonSupport the show.

I'm going to take heat from this and that's ok, but I'm sick and tired of every prognosticator who calls for the end of the world running to a camera every time we see the market crack.  There are very serious, systemic problems with our global economy right now but that doesn't mean the total collapse of the dollar and a meltdown of our financial system is right around the corner. If countries like Japan have taught us anything it's that these types of problems can fester for decades while currencies strengthen and markets do well. Yet guys Like Peter Schiff spend their entire lives screaming "The sky is falling." and every 10 years or so they end up being right. Today I'm going to talk spend some time talking about the danger of listening to these "Oracles" when making investment decisions. If you listened to Schiff for example and bought gold in 2012 you'd be down about 40%.  What really matters is sentiment not fundamentals.  We might all see that the house is on fire, but knowing when the roof is going to fall in is a tricky skill to master. Most of the doomsday predictors still haven't figured it out.  JasonSupport the show.

I debated heavily about what to discuss today. The astonishing 1000 point drop in the US equites market this morning is a direct result of the attempt by governments and central banks around the world to prop up a fledgling system on the verge of another great recession. After reading a recent report about Venezuelan smugglers clashing with the Army my mind was drawn to the great harm hyper or even rampant inflation combined with government controls can have on an economy. The smuggling problem in Venezuela is a direct result of both hyperinflation and the government’s attempt to control panic buying and selling through price controls and rationing. The big question is, could it happen here and if so are we getting close.Today I set out to discuss these issues and provide you a blueprint on what to look for. Naturally none of us can know for sure WHEN or even IF a catastrophic event like hyperinflation might occur but we can look to other nations where it has happened and look for similarities between our two countries.  JasonSupport the show.

As a libertarian I'm faced with a somewhat perplexing question about how to handle entitlements.

Take social security for example. It's a ponzi scheme that deprives the younger generation of their wealth in order to provide for the older generation. S...

Do the sins of the father transfer to the sins of the son? I think most of us would say no. So does the debt of the father pass the son? If I rack up thousands on my credit card bill and then die, is my son obligated to pay the debt?

Even our current ...

Today I was struck by the recent story about Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison and his decision to return his sons participation trophies. It speaks to the pervasive and ever expanding trend that starts in grammar school which seeks to promote the idea that everyone deserves to be a winner. Everyone deserves to be recognized even if simply for their effort. I fear we're breeding a generation of entitled selfish children who believe they're entitled to feel good and be rewarded regardless of what they actually accomplish.We'll also talk about Hillary Clinton’s latest response the question "did you wipe the hard drive clean?"Visit the site: http://www.jasonstapleton.comSupport the show.

Over the past several months I've been warning you about the threat we're facing from things like the minimum wage, the economy, even Hillary Clinton. LOLI take a lot of flack from certain people when I speak about the dangers of the minimum wage for example. But the principals of economics and liberty always prove me right.Today we're going to discuss Hillary Clinton who I predicted would never be the presidental nominee as early as the day she announced her candidacy.  Then we move on the the minimum wage which is now destroying businesses across the west cost, most recently in the little town of Everyville, CA.  Then it's back across the pacific to China where there recent attempts to prevent further stock market declines have failed. What's sad is that all these problems were foreseeable and preventable. Unfortunatly those who now lead us lack the economic intelligence or just common sense to do what is necessary to truly prevent such disasters and repair the damage done. Until Tomorrow,JasonVisit http://www.JasonStapleton.com for full episodes, news updates and show notes.  Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/Jason_Stapleton  Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/TheLiveShowTV Roku: https://owner.roku.com/add/jasonstapleton If you are enjoying the show and would like to support what we're doing here, please consider donating to our cause.

The youth are being indoctrinated into a philosophy that says it is okay to take what isn’t yours and to demand as well as to put upon others your own wants, your will and desires. We don’t believe that’s true and I am here as a voice to try to convert the unsaved.  Visit http://www.JasonStapleton.com for full episodes, news updates and show notes.  Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/Jason_Stapleton  Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/TheLiveShowTV Roku: https://owner.roku.com/add/jasonstapleton If you are enjoying the show and would like to support what we're doing here, please consider donating to our cause.
