The Jason Stapleton Program

Yeah, it's just me in the studio today, and I was running late from the jump this morning trying to get things squared away for my business. I ended up running into a little snafu with my bank. I'll explain on the show today.

From there we'll move over to talk about Donald Trump's decision to meet with Kim Jong Un. It looks like they're discussing denuclearization. We'll see. That's all I can say.

Finally, American kids are getting fatter. If you're shocked, have the person standing next to you punch you in the face for being so out of touch. It turns out the Marine Corps is having trouble finding recruits.

Short show notes today. Enjoy your weekend!

Now to the news!

Is there anyone in America who doesn't think Donald Trump is a womanizer?

Married three times, admitted affairs, the man was even caught on tape talking about grabbing a woman by her...you get it.

Far be it for me to judge. I don't. But it should not be surprising to anyone that a porn star named Stormy Daniels was paid $130,000 and asked to sign a non-disclosure to protect the president from what many think is an affair with the movie star.

I guess I don't know what the outrage is. If you're a moral person, this will bother you, but it didn't bother very many on the right. The elected him.

It seems like it's not much more than bias media looking for a way to dig up a scandal.

***
Charles Koch is out bashing the president's anticipated tariffs, and in true libertarian fashion, he's using log and facts to prove his point.

But he's also doing something I've been advocating for a long time. He's tugging at your heartstrings and destroying the moral superiority of the opposing argument.

I'll read some of what he said on the show today. Wish we have a few more billionaires like him out living the principles he claims to support.

Interesting show today. Despite reports that early voter turnout favored Democrats, on election night Republicans turned out the vote doing far better in total numbers.

Keep in mind this is just a primary. Total voter turnout for Republicans was 1.5 million while Democrats rallied only 1 million.

Here's what's sad, In a state with nearly 30 million people, only 2.5 million turned out to vote. That's pathetic. You wonder why incumbents always win and liberty candidates never get a shot? It's because we don't get out and vote in the primary.

Ted Cruz got 1.3 million of the 1.5 million votes cast. It was a landslide. Now I know nothing about the candidates running against him, but none of them stood a chance. He had the money, the name, and the infrastructure. Now he's back for another term.

***
Jeff Sessions has declared war on California...well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. He is suing them over a recent law that prevents people from voluntarily cooperating with immigration authorities.

He claims there's "no nullification and no secession."

I'll give you my thoughts on the show today.

Finally, I've got a story about the FBI and Geek Squad. Apparently, the FBI has been paying Geek Squad employees to circumvent the 4th amendment and search your computer without a warrant. This is happening more and more, and it makes me angry. The government exists to protect liberty not to violate it. If we don't stand up against this egregious violation, we guarantee the abuse will continue.

You know, I've spoken a lot about North Korea and my belief that they are "rational actors" and not a crazy rouge nation. But for a moment today, I called that belief into question.

Lucky for me I quickly realized I am (of course) right. (was there ever any doubt)

I haven't figured out the WHY yet, but I know North Korea will not be giving up its nuclear program. To do so now ould mean repeating the mistakes of other countries who capitulated to US pressure and ended up devastated.

North Korea MUST continue down its current path if it has any hope of long-term survival.

***
Early voting for Texas is in, and it's not looking good for Republicans. It turns out my suspicions about Trump and Republican prospects this year were correct yet again! (don't doubt me)

***
Finally, Twitter has apparently been censoring Pro-Life Tweets. This is something they can do. It's their platform. But they should be mindful of the fact that they have created a platform for people to exercise a 1st amendment right. If they choose to down this path they may find people lose faith in their service especially considering how fickled the American consumer can be.

Thanks!
