The Jason Stapleton Program

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ Mobs of violent rioters have been looting, burning, and assaulting their way through American cities for months now. It was just a matter of time before it turned deadly. It's been breathtaking watching the double standard applied by the media to the violent insurrectionists and those who defend their communities from looting and burning. American establishment elites are desperate to retain their hold on power. And they're willing to cross any line if it means damaging Donald Trump. But now it's starting to backfire on them. When we look back, the Kenosha shootings will mark a turning point in American history.

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ We talk all the time about the importance of achieving Nomadic Wealth. Your future and your family's future ultimately depend upon your ability to generate mobile wealth and control the source of your income. Today, we're talking to a guy who is the perfect example of what we're talking about. Ed Latimore is a bestselling author, speaker, former professional heavyweight boxer, and competitive chess player. He grew up in the projects in Pittsburgh without any strong male guidance, and spent the early years of his life without any direction or meaning. He had every reason to wind up going nowhere and doing nothing. But he decided one day to kick his alcohol addiction and make something of himself. Now he's been sober for seven years. He enlisted in the Army and graduated with his degree in Physics in 2018. He's legendary on Twitter for his ability to condense powerful wisdom into bite-sized tweets. In today's interview, he shared with us his take on the Black Lives Matter organization and movement, his own philosophy on freedom, the four ways you can make money, and what he's doing to ensure the future safety and security of his family. If you appreciate the values of our show, you need some Ed Latimore in your life. Follow him on Twitter at @EdLatimore, and sign up for his newsletter at edlatimore.com/newsletter. Keep an eye out for his commentary on the crackhead work ethic and his "coffee so black" tweets.

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ America is becoming more of a dumpster fire every day. For the 88th consecutive day, Portland’s streets have been besieged with political riots. Yesterday, there were sustained street "battles" between the Proud Boys and ANTIFA. If you can even call them battles. They were more like LARPy slap fights with pepper spray and sticks. And then, of course, there was another police shooting of a (reportedly unarmed) black man in Wisconsin. So the usual BLM characters were out stirring up strife and violence as riots raged throughout Wisconsin and across America. None of this stuff is ending any time soon. We’ve only just begun to experience the beginnings of the effects of the economic consequences of the COVID lockdowns. As more people lose their jobs, as more companies fold, as more people commit suicide or die of drug overdoses, all of this unrest is only going to worsen. You have no excuses. If you can see it coming now, you can start preparing. You should have started years ago, but it’s not too late. The future belongs to those who use today for building: building wealth, building families, building communities. This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Helix Sleep Allform Echelon Fit

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ The bulk of today's show will be spent on this article out of Rolling Stone, written by Wade Davis. While well-written, the article reveals a flaw in Davis's own thinking. This same flaw pervades most popular American thought today. His thesis is essentially that the incidence of COVID "has reduced to tatters the illusion of American exceptionalism." Why did this happen, according to Davis? Because "more than any other country, the United States in the post-war era lionized the individual at the expense of community and family." That's right. He believes that America has too much respect for the individual. Fascinatingly, we agree with his premise, that American exceptionalism is basically a lost value. However, it's for a very different reason. America doesn't have enough respect for the individual. It's been a while since we've talked about some of these fundamental premises of libertarian thought. But we're going to delve into them today. And you'll see that our recent focus on self-development, entrepreneurship, and the creation of Nomadic Wealth are direct products of our beliefs about individualism and our desire for liberty.

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ America is plagued by a virus of bad thinking. Years of terrible education and increasing partisan incompetence from the corporate press have melted the brains of most people. You see this in the perpetually misleading COVID coverage and the hysteria it has produced. Nobody knows how to evaluate the information they're seeing. But the most glaring issues are with the narrative surrounding the BLM/Antifa riots. Victim mentalities rule the day. If we want success and prosperity, we've gotta start by learning how to use right thinking. Then we need to teach others how to do the same. Ultimately, it's our responsibility to build our future.

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ Wealth is power. The wealth of the United States is largely due to the fact that the U.S. dollar is the global reserve currency. And that in turn is largely a product of the military supremacy of the United States. As long as the U.S. is the dominant global superpower, the dollar will likely remain more or less stable. However, the Fed is really testing the limits of that stability. And the time will come when they’ve pushed it too far. History is full of cautionary tales of nations that tempted fate just long enough that eventually the hyperinflation demon stole their souls. Through the balance of this year, the talking heads will do whatever they can to convince you that one side of the aisle has the solution to your salvation. But they’re all lying. None of them care about you, and none of them will save you. Your future is in your own hands. The choices you make today will determine the freedom you have — or don’t have — tomorrow.

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ Kamala Harris is a sincerely despicable, disgusting, reprehensible human being. So it makes sense that the Democrats would select her as a VP candidate. Because make no mistake about it: Joe Biden isn’t the one doing the decision-making around here. Not the most senile presidential candidate in American history. In fact, that’s part of the value of Copmala in the eyes of the Dems. She can masquerade as a capable executive if and when Joe decides he’s done with this whole President business. Or when it’s decided for him. But one thing is clear: by choosing Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s VP, the Democrats are throwing the election. They’re actively trying not to win. If that sounds crazy to you, then you need to listen to this episode. Because it’s clear as day to us.

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ You heard it here first. Jason predicted weeks ago that by at least September we would be hearing that everything is getting better and COVID is under control. Over the weekend, the NYT Editorial Board published an op-ed entitled "America Could Control the Pandemic by October. Let's Get to It." Here's how opinion-making works in America. A major corporate press institution -- like the New York Times -- presents a perspective. Then other outlets pick it up and start singing the same tune. Within a week or two, politicians will begin saying the same things, confirming the narrative and providing the rest of us with instructions on what we're supposed to believe and how we're supposed to act. Since the totality of the pandemic picture is largely fabricated (the virus is real, but the numbers are fluffed), it'll be easy for them to frame the numbers in whatever way they want. And it will set us up perfectly for the October surprise, whatever that will be. The age of trustworthy experts is gone. Everything is politicized. Because everything is politicized, it's up to you to be skeptical, do your own research, and follow your intuition. And ultimately you need to take control over your life, your family, and your future. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor: Hero Health

Follow Jason on Locals! _____ If you can get your emotions out of it, 21st-century politics is an incredibly entertaining game. It's a never-ending power struggle, more dynamic than any TV show -- yes, even Game of Thrones. We've got a bunch of goofy storylines in the latest episode of our reality TV show government, and they all revolve around power. Everyone wants it. So everyone is doing whatever they can do to get it. However, no one will admit to it. In 21st-century Western society, openly seeking power is gauche. So everyone hides behind all sorts of justifications. They tell us lots of different stories about how no really they aren't trying to get power actually they're sacrificing themselves for the good of the rest of us yeah exactly that's it. Today, we're going to talk about a few different instances where that's the case. Will there even be presidential debates between Trump and Biden? What is the real reason Trump is banning TikTok and WeChat? What can a white man actually do in this country without being accused of racism? Where did this obsession with using race as a point of division come from, and what can we do about it? All that and more! It was a spicy show today, so y'all should be plenty entertained as we head into the weekend. This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Cuts Clothing Echelon
