The Jason Stapleton Program

While the White House has not yet announced, it's decision on the Iran Nuclear Agreement Israeli news is reporting that Mike Pompeo has informed his European counterparts that the president will withdraw from the agreement.

Apparently, the sticking point has to do with the sunset clause allowing Iran to restart its nuclear program in 10 years.

Rumor has it that Europe will attempt to hold the deal together by staying in the agreement.

The labor market is changing. Young people are finding it harder to get jobs after school and in the summer. Employers are highering older or simply shuttering their brick-and-mortar stores as online shopping eats up market share.

What does this mean for America and the economy of the future? Today we'll discuss. Rest easy. It's not the end of the world. In fact, opportunity has never been greater.

Today we're going to discuss the legal trial of Paul Manafort. The judge has now demanded the unredacted memoranda spelling out Mueller's exact commission to determine where is authority begins and ends.

The FBI has been fond, in recent years, of using "shady" tactics to force people into testifying or illicit guilty pleas for things like lying when there is no evidence of a real crime.

Apparently, Judge Ellis is having none of it in his courtroom. Can I just say "way to go Ellis!"

In a sign the government just can't leave well enough alone, the FDA has gone ahead with a new requirement for businesses to post calorie labels on all their food and drink offerings.

Not only will this not reduce calorie consumption but it also puts an undue burden on businesses which should not be required to help ensure you don't eat too many calories.

The government was in front of a federal judge in Virginia yesterday as it tries to bring charges against Paul Manafort. Problem is, the judge isn't having it.

It turns out the Muller doesn't have unlimited power to go after anyone he wants. He was hired to look into collusion between the Russians and the Tump campaign. It turns out, he can't find any but he did find some dirt on Manafort, and he's trying to use it as leverage to get Manifort to roll over on Trump.

And the judge is not happy.

Unemployment news was out today. Apparently, the unemployment rate is now 3.9%. Drudge is promoting this a good news but is it?

I've got an interesting perspective on unemployment and the overall health of the economy. Listen now to find out what nobody else is telling you.

I'm not surprised Guliani went on Hannity when he wanted to defend Trump. The big question is WHY he decided to go on national TV and WHY he said what he said.

Today we'll discuss the two "bombshells" the media claims he dropped.

From there we'll discuss the Koreas. Turns out they may find there way to a peaceful settlement of hostilities. That's good for both countries but what about the 25k + troops stationed there?

I also give you a couple of great books I've read recently that I think you'll like.

Now, why do you think that 46% of the population would favor a guaranteed job from the government at $15/hr?

Maybe it's because nearly 70% of 8th graders are deficient in math. If we can't teach our kids basic things like reading and arithmetic what are the odds we can teach them more complex principles about economics and social engineering?

More regulation was just passed to benefit car companies at the expense of the consumer. A new rule now requires backup cameras in all new vehicles sold in America. Thanks, government! Don't know what I'd do without you!
