I like CPAC, I really do. But some of the blind support it fosters is downright scary.

Take Trump for example. The man is one of the worst public speakers I've ever heard. I couldn't even stand to sit a listen to his entire speech. Yet throw in a line about guns here and one about Israel there, and he's got the crowd eating out of his hands.

I've got some clips to run through the highlights of his speech. They were few and far between, but I'll do my best.

This is the kind of day I find the news a tad unmotivating. It's tough to get excited about commenting on a bad speech. But I'll give it my best shot.

In other news, Rick Gates will plead guilty to a couple of different charges in exchange for information about fellow conspirator Paul Manifort. Some in the media would have you believe this is all related to Trump and the Russia investigation into his dealings with them but it's not. I'll explain today.

As the gun debate rages in America students are walking out of class in protest of the gun violence experienced in Florida.

Now, I don't know if these kids understand the issues or if their protests will ever amount to anything but I do know that we have a very rare right in this country and that is the right to peacefully protest your government.

So I ask you the question, "How should we treat these young people?" Should we criticize them? Punish them or support them?

I'll discuss on today's show.

CNN has become the laughing stock of news networks. That's not a small accomplishment. In a country where news has largely become political opinion and petty squabbling cloaked in a "fair and balanced." slogan, it's saying something to be a bottom of the barrel news organization.

When you consider there are government sponsored new networks like RT, who are more honest and accurate than CNN, you have to ask yourself how they continue to stay on the air.

Well, you can add another bruise to the already tarnished reputation of CNN. One of the high school students asked to read a question at a recent CNN town hall meeting refused to attend after he said CNN refused to allow him to ask his question and instead requested he read a canned question from the network.

CNN, of course, openly denied planting a question but what would you expect them to do? They certainly aren't going to admit to doing it even though they have a history of less than honest, open forums.

The truth is, CNN is just one of many news networks that have lost the trust of the public. What I'm trying to do is be that voice of truth. Agree with my opinion or disagree at least you know you're getting the truth inside the story.

I get the question a lot. And it's not just about defining libertarianism. For me, it's just as important to understand what we should be doing as libertarians if we want to have the kind of impact we want on government and society.

Today I'll share a nice 50k foot view of what libertarianism is and how you can advance the principles we all believe in.

Is there such a thing as common sense gun regulation? Probably not but I've found what I think is a pretty common sense way of dealing with people who pose a real and immediate threat to others.

More on that today.

Enjoy the show and don't forget to share!
