Trump’s comments this week give us more insight into the kind of America he is “putting first.” Trade/Economics, his criticisms of the Koch brothers, Free Speech/Media and more. Also: Tommy Robinson is out on bail. Was the Court of Appeal’s ruling a significant victory for free speech? A vindication of the idea that Robinson was just a political prisoner, guilty of no crime? These topics and more. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan 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.

So putting "America First" means we should think it's "ridiculous" to want to treat foreigners fairly?
What kind of America are we putting "First," if we set aside the very American idea that all men are created equal, and endowed with rights? https://t.co/ct2SaljQkT

You *made* them richer? Or, you helped enact lower taxes so they could keep more of what they earned?
And is it bad for them to want to avoid paying taxes? Maybe you think lower taxes are good only if they’re a gift from you?
You’re sounding more “establishment” all the time. https://t.co/d77cZ12Hrt

"Powerful Trade"? All your supporters keep telling me you're really for Free Trade. 🤔 https://t.co/KsTLFjoxdZ

Inspired by Trump’s retweeting this:
“David Burritt, U.S. Steel's president and CEO, said the company was experiencing a ‘renaissance’ and credited @realDonaldTrump’s actions for the steel industry's revival.” https://t.co/XpjbgpdR4Z

Almost 500,000 Manufacturing Jobs created since I won the Election. Remember when my opponents were saying that we couldn’t create this type of job anymore. Wrong, in fact these are among our best and most important jobs!

Pennsylvania has to love Trump because unlike all of the others before me, I am bringing STEEL BACK in a VERY BIG way. Plants opening up in Pennsylvania, and all over the Country, and Congressman Lou Barletta, who is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania, is really helping!

He's been released only because of a substantial procedural error. The opinion implies that the underlying charge was justified and lawful, and that it could likely result in imprisonment for more than the four months he already served. https://t.co/RTWWAjSiXs
