Hurricane Harvey cleanup begins. Trump to donate $1 million of his own money. Still draws criticism. Others raising money for hurricane relief/recovery. This is a disaster, but Texans are tough & Americans are generous. Rally together & pray. Trump to cut Obamacare advertising budget. Left says he's trying to cause it to implode, when everyone knows it's already collapsing. Why advertise a bad thing? Interview with Adam Habig of Freedom Healthworks. Free market healthcare. Direct pay medicine/direct primary care. Southern Poverty Law Center lists 1,503 Confederate monuments to 'bring down' that includes military bases, schools, cities & counties. Perspective. See you after Labor Day!

Today I talk with Adam Habig, CEO & co-founder of Freedom Healthworks, about healthcare, free market solutions and fundamental problems of Obamacare.

Economic numbers revised upward for 2Q GDP. Waiting for Trump to tell us the numbers are even better than he promised. Also waiting for Obama to take credit. What's the role of a president in the economy? The Nutty Professor Bernie Sanders & Kamala Harris introduce single payer healthcare. Tax reform next on the agenda. Republicans better get this done. Iranian update. Jihadi Joe with the official disclaimer. North Korea threatens Guam (again). This is how Iran is going to behave in the future if we don't stop them from acquiring nuclear weapons under deal.

Today, we decided to do things a little differently. We're talking about a fundamentally important issue that needs to be communicated & understood. (And, no, that's not Melania Trump's choice of footwear while visiting hurricane-ravaged Southeast Texas.) Today we share a primer on conservatism. I discuss why I believe what I believe & why I believe in the beauty of the American system - though it's been corrupted by politicians and lovers of big government. Thanks for listening.

Hurricane Harvey update. Citizens helping citizens. Government doing it's role. Gov Abbott calls up entire Texas Guard. Trump to Texas today. Criminals being criminals. And an idiot professor being an idiot professor. Free markets - not socialism - at work in helping Texans. T-shirt sale with discount code MORNING. We're hiring a few positions. I went to a gender reveal party. Can we even do those? I thought kids told us their gender now? Parents of kindergarteners hiding identity while expressing concern over gender identity lesson. Local school teacher sends note home telling parents kids cannot use the words "God, Jesus & the devil" in classroom. Imprison folks who use wrong gender pronouns in CA? North Korea update. Arpaio pardon. Will he run against Flake?

Hurricane Harvey causing widespread destruction in Southeast Texas. Unfathomable amounts of rain. Flooding. Trump to visit the region tomorrow. Just a matter of time before this turns political. Brent Bozelle says GOP is committing suicide. When do campaign promises become legislative reality? Bernie Sanders out literally preaching socialism. Where are the separation of church & state folks? Socialism is literally the religion of some on the far left. Biden writes a piece about the "battle for the soul" of America. Let's engage. And let's find leaders willing to advance our cause.

Slate says Trump already failed on managing his first natural disaster as president - before it even hit. Echoes of impeachment talk. Hurricane Harvey to hit Texas. USA Today acknowledges Trump's mental health is the latest talking point. JDot returns for his latest 3-in-3. Pelosi says Democrats are winning - but she can't articulate their latest slogan. GOP playing prevent offense. D James Kennedy sues Southern Poverty Law Center for designating his group a 'hate group' over opposition to gay marriage. Why do conservative Christians oppose gay marriage? Kaepernick protests over his kneeling on the field during the national anthem. What about the coach kneeling after the game in prayer?

David Axelrod must not have gotten the memo about the latest talking point to destroy Trump: he's unfit for office. Congresswoman Speier got the message though - as she's calling for his removal from office by enacting the 25th Amendment. This is the strategy - and they'll keep bringing up new accusations until one sticks. Journalists are terrified by Trump speech - supposedly. But they have no problem with plays that portray the assassination of Trump or in calling his supporters 'white supremacists by default.' Are you a white supremacist by default? CNN walks us through the signs. ESPN explains reassignment of announcer Robert [REDACTED]. Listeners save 10% on our tees with discount code MORNING through end of August.

ESPN reassigns announcer because he shares a name with a Confederate Civil War general. We proactively have bleeped his name today just in case we're not allowed to utter it without facing fines and possible prosecution. This is the same group (Disney) that has access to our kids. Just saying. Trump rally in Phoenix. In his element. Attacks media. Fires up audience. Gets into some issues. Covers some of their successes to date. James Clapper's response about Trump's 'fitness.' Don Lemon calls Trump 'unhinged.' What happened to Russia, by the way? The strategy is to paint Trump as a Nazi. If that doesn't work, he's a colluder with Russia. If that doesn't work, he's clinically unfit for office. #WhateverItTakes. Mitch McConnell uncertain if Trump can save presidency. What about if McConnell can save the legislative agenda and get something done. Republicans are more aggravated with Congress than Trump. Wish I had more time. Gotta run.

Trump delivers address regarding Afghanistan. I have one important correction to the speech. Trump commits to win. Will focus on results, not timetable. Will not disclose details & plans to our enemy. Some are calling this the Trump Doctrine: kill terrorists, not engage in nation-building. Reverse campaign pledge. Different decision when you're in the Oval Office. Pakistan on notice. Will not create a void Isis can fill. Antifa. Petition to declare them a terrorist group gaining popularity. NPR interview excusing, in some ways, behavior of Antifa. Excusing violence against property. Antifa doesn't own anything, so they're ok with destroying property. Occupy Wall Street 2.0. Remember the Summer of Resistance? This is what it looks like. Democrat leaders own a portion of the responsibility for this Antifa movement. Democrat leaders have fueled hatred for a long time. They do this to win elections, and now we're reaping the consequences of what they've sown. Conservative, not bitter talk radio doesn't need to do this. Ana Navarro couldn't find any interest in the 'eclipse thing' because of 'President Loco.'
