(UPDATE: You can find the audio of the full show here.)
I return to the airwaves for two days only! Listen live at www.wedo810.com 9-11am today (if you miss it, I’ll have audio uploaded later). As always, follow me on Twitter at @jeffscottshow and find me on Facebook at Jeff Scott Show.
Obama wants the top income tax rate for corporations to drop, but not for small businesses. Corporations write bigger campaign checks. This is part of Obama’s idea for a “grand bargain” to trade tax cuts for more spending, but mostly more spending.
Most people who are on Social Security Disability have no intention of ever even trying to find a job, even though they could work. Why bother working when Uncle Sugar will take care of you?
Apparently the federal budget has been perfectly balanced for the last 70 days…or maybe they’re just lying to you. My money’s on the latter.
The FBI has told Rand Paul that there’s no need for a warrant for domestic drone surveillance. Of course, I’m sure that Chris Christie is fine with that, considering that he wants to get rid of that libertarian strain in the Republican Party that actually gives a damn about civil liberties.
Anthony Weiner says he won’t pull out of the New York City Mayor’s race.
Speaking of Chris Christie and Rand Paul, the fighting continued yesterday, with Christie calling Paul a hypocrite and Paul making a thinly-veiled fat joke about Christie.
Even Erick Erickson now is saying that there will be a third party. The problem is that the Republican elites, the corporatist wing of the GOP, have lost touch, pushing for amnesty in immigration reform and offering up “shiny things” to the conservative base, but doing absolutely nothing to actually shrink government or increase liberty.
Ted Cruz says that it’s now or never on stopping ObamaCare, and he may be right. Considering the maddening paperwork, higher premiums, the penalty for working harder, and the fact that lawmakers and their aides hate it, it should be a no brainer to do everything possible to stop it. However, establishment Republicans like Tom Coburn says that no matter what Republicans do, it’s just too late. Even an ObamaCare call center won’t give its employees insurance.
Apparently being a Republican student makes you a “security threat” to Obama. But don’t worry; you can trust the government with your cell phone and internet records.
The Tranny Traitor Bradley Manning was acquitted of “aiding the enemy” but was convicted of 10 other counts in the Wikileaks scandal.
Anthony Weiner’s latest sexting partner went on Howard Stern yesterday. What a disgusting creature, but what great entertainment for America!
The Pennsylvania Health Department is suing Montgomery County to force them to stop issuing gay marriage licenses against state law. Colorado just finalized their first gay divorce.
The Congressional Black Caucus is recommending Sheila Jackson Lee to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. This woman once complained that there weren’t enough hurricanes with black names and asked about the flag that Neil Armstrong planted on Mars. They’re not really serious, right?
Remember, firearm registration is a step towards confiscation.
The Pentagon may cut the number of furlough days by half, but the DC economy is still suffering the effects. Give me a break; it’s the richest metropolitan area in the country. Excuse me if I’m not weeping for the DC area in this.
Two Pennsylvania Democrats have joined the opposition to the Obama administration’s war on coal, which is much more real than the Republican war on women. In other energy news, Obama continues to use an extremely low figure for jobs from the Keystone XL pipeline, a Saudi Prince is concerned about what fracking may do to the Saudi economy (more reason to do it!), and could small nuclear power plants be the future of energy?
IRS scrutiny of conservative groups wasn’t limited to just new applicants for tax-exempt status; groups that were already tax-exempt were also targeted.
Rand Paul wants more school choice for poor and minority students. That’s great, but how about for everybody?
The White House is coming up with what is being called a “nudge squad” to try to encourage people to behave like they want them to.
The federal government pays millions of dollars each year to dead farmers because they lack the proper oversight to make sure that the money is being spent appropriately.
Another New York court has struck down the ban on Big Gulps in New York City. Can we call a Big Gulp a Freedom Soda now?
A Los Angeles man has filed a complaint against the police department, saying that they used excessive force after they beat him up in a traffic stop. His crime? Not having lights on his bike after dark.
John McCain hopes that getting rid of the $1 bill and replacing it with a coin will mean bigger tips for strippers.
Movie theater popcorn costs more per ounce than filet mignon.
A Norwegian town has installed mirrors to direct light into the town during the winter. This is just really cool.
How stupid do you have to be to try to rob a gun store with a baseball bat?
Moral of the story: Don’t mess with Waffle House.
In Tales From Government Education, some West Virginia teachers are not happy with a dress code that bans blue jeans and shorts, so the American Federation of Teachers is looking into whether the dress code is against their “constitutional right.”
In today’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization, the 9/11 Memorial Museum almost left out the picture of firefighters raising an American flag over the rubble of the World Trade Center because they didn’t want it to seem too “rah-rah” American. Give me a break
