The Jason Stapleton Program

Shout out to our buddies over at Lions of Liberty for inspiring the title of today's show. :)

By the time this episode is posted, I'll be deep into my third day as the emcee on the main stage at FreedomFest in Las Vegas. It's been a whirlwind trip so far. But we made sure to duck aside for a quick hour last night to record an episode over some drinks.

Today's show was all about catching you guys up on our escapades here with Herman Cain, Kevin O'Leary, John Mackey, and Kevin Sorbo.

But we also touched on some recent news, including rumors about Ilhan Omar marrying her brother (?!), and Rand Paul getting thoroughly dismantled by Jon Stewart over his vote to stall the 9/11 First Responders Bill.

It's an exciting time for anyone in the crossover world of business & politics, and FreedomFest is no exception. This next year is gonna be a wild ride, and I'm glad I get to share it with all of you.

Download & subscribe so you never miss an episode, and don't forget to share the show with a friend!

I'll see you back in the studio on Monday.

What a day!

I'm in Las Vegas to emcee for FreedomFest, so I recorded this episode ahead of time.

If you've followed the show for very long, you probably know that the last few years of my life have been pretty chaotic. Everyone assumes they know my story, but the funny thing about wild rumors is they rarely actually reflect the truth.

I told you I'd tell you the story someday.

Today is that day.

The mad hatter is at it again. This time he's attacking Ilhan Omar, suggesting it might be best if she moved back to Somalia to fix her native country before attacking America for it's perceived shortcomings. The antics are both hysterical and sad.

And later, in the show...home ownership is bad and so is college. LOL.

You won't believe the number of times I hear some version of "I love XYZ, but nobody would ever pay me to do that."

I always laugh because people will pay you to do just about anything. The lead story from today's show is a great example.

Every once in a while, you come across someone you've never heard of who's changing the world.

Meet Caleb Franz, founder & executive director of The MilLiberty Initiative. Caleb interviewed me on his own podcast two years ago, and he's been doing big things ever since.

Today, we discussed MilLiberty's Reintegration Project--an advocacy program for American businesses to commit to hiring nonviolent offenders--and their new annual Second Chance Trailblazers Award.

Both ventures are market based solutions to our broken criminal justice system, which is precisely what we need.

A few weeks ago, I talked about Elvis Summers and his work building tiny homes for the homeless in Los Angeles.

Today I sat down with him to discuss his project.

It shouldn't surprise you to learn his biggest obstacle is corruption that starts at the top of the local government.

In fact, he's even had to wear a bulletproof vest on the job!

Once again, we have living proof that the state is never a good solution to any problem. Government officials will never care about solving homelessness as long as they can use it as an electoral platform and a source of funding.

I'll admit I don't watch news on the weekends. I don't even like watching it during the week, but it's necessary if I want to keep up with current events.

So it should come as no surprise that I knew nothing about the latest violent Antifa counter-protest that happened this weekend. What should shock you is the fact that it took me going to Twitter to find an article about it.

Antifa, by any standard, is a domestic terrorist organization. It's time we start talking about them as one.
