Yaron and Amy: “Why Not ‘Atlas Lobbied’?” TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)

Yaron is back for a week, so we’ll be doing a show today at our usual time!

The title is based on a question I raised on Facebook–one inspired by recent discussions there about potentially regulating Facebook, or perhaps suing Facebook for apparent bias against conservative thinkers in applying its Community Standards. See Program Notes, below, for the stories, etc., I have planned to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

Yaron and Amy: “Land of the Kept, Home of the Cowed,” TODAY at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

Yaron is on the road in Brazil, so he’s not sure the technology will work, but we are going to try to do a show today. (To give it the best chance of working, I’m suggesting we try only Zoom and Restream, not BlogTalk. Hope!)

The title was inspired by some of the things Yaron and I have said on our shows this week, as well as some other stories in the news. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I have planned to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

UPDATE: ICYMI, you can catch the show here:

Yaron and Amy: “Trump to Amazon: ‘You Didn’t Build That!'” TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)

Trump’s tweet to Amazon channels the Obama-Warren “You Didn’t Build That!” argument. Is he right, particularly because the USPS is subsidized? This and more on today’s show! See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I’ve lined up to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live on BlogTalk Radio here and also via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

POST-SHOW UPDATE: Here’s the video for today’s show

Program Notes

Taxation is still theft.
The USPS is a govt-established monopoly; is it Amazon’s fault that USPS runs at a loss?
If Amazon’s “putting many thousands of retailers out of business,” it’s only because they offer more value.

Are you sure it’s *America* you want to make great again? https://t.co/jKhv7SlqCU
