After returning from a two day trip I found a great new thread on our forum about predictions for the next few week, months and years. I decided to use it as the basis for today’s show.
Tune in today to hear…
- Why the site was down for most of yesterday
- My response to Dudley Storey from Episode 81
- Will Obama wins by landslide and if so what will happen because of it?
- Will we see another assault weapons ban more restrictive than Clinton’s and how might it be opposed?
- Will the depression/recession deepen or might we see a “false recovery” if so what will drive it and what will the next burst look like?
- Will the fairness doctrine passed and what will it mean to “talk radio”?
- Will taxes go up for only those making 250,000 or be raised soon after for every one else because the government still can’t afford what it is spending on programs and a trillion dollar deficit?
- Will unemployment will hit double digits?
- What events might trigger violent crime will increases across the country?
- Will we still be in Iraq two years from now?
- What is going to happen with the Afghan war and why?

Great show tonight.
I fear that you are right about the things that you spoke about tonight. Our country is going down the toilet.
For the first time in my life, I am fearful about the race for President. Many times before, I chose the “lesser of two evils”, but this time, I believe that the “deaf and blind” are going to vote Obama in and they don’t even know who or what he is! (Don’t much care for McCain either, but I don’t get the feeling of dread when I see and hear him.)
Although I know it would take a miracle, I will pray that McCain somehow pulls ahead of Obama and wins the Presidency anyway.
So, until his term (hopefully only one) is over, I will try to stay under the radar (and hide my guns) and “put in my time” until the next election.
Thanks again for your podcast.
Jack, a great programme this morning (that’s when I listen to it). Your first point about perspective and perception is ever so true, it’s based on the where one is from (whether that be political, geographic, moral or ethical in nature).
You did bring up a good point about violent crime, here in my part of Canada, the perceived level of such crimes is on the rise; the police say the numbers are down; but the randomness of the violent crimes is on the rise and that is causing fear in my home city. The cause is high levels of disenchantment/under-employment in certain communitees in the city. I hope it doesn’t get worse; but whether it does or doesn’t, my family it looking to move well away from it to a location where we can homestead (or to a significant degree).
