Rather than a typical listener question show today I decided to bring together 5 news events that were sent in by various listeners. The first one is not that obvious as to why it applies to the other four but I bring them all together at the end. We also bring in a recent 5 minute speech from Congressmen Ron Paul today.
Join me today as we discuss…
