President Obama has been personally ‘stung’ by his foreign policy critics and makes a series of speeches and appearances to ‘address’ those critics directly. Is this a wise political move? What are the top issues in the 2014 election cycle? Do they have anything to do with foreign policy. Are the president’s critics warmongers? Does the criticism have to do with the president’s decision making process and consensus approach to reacting to Syria, Libya, Ukraine and terrorists? When is it appropriate to question the White House conduct of Foreign Policy? If the people of the United States are focused inward, can the president’s economic policies be blamed? What about the rest of the world — becoming concerned about over-capacity and deflation? These are the issues that ought to be on the front burner in the foreign policy debate few people have indicated interest in. Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Memorial Day Weekend 2014! Some selected top stories for your trip to the lake this weekend. Or, where ever you’re headed. A Super Bowl For Minneapolis in 2018. Aren’t we happy. The question is, will the 450 million dollars (plus) Minnesotans are on the hook for be a net gain, or a net loss, when the costs are factored in. Not to mention the drug dispensing (alleged) NFL always begging for so many subsidies it would even make Cliven Bundy blush. Don’t expect the media in Minneapolis-Saint Paul to tell you the truth about the Vikings Stadium, the grocery clerks running these media outlets are terrified of the NFL and the Wilfs. Meanwhile, those sanctions against Russia are working so well, Putin has been driven into the arms of China, and now all three are making nice with Iran. And, the VA is such a mess the President is ‘madder than hell’, but how does he take down his favorite example of Government Run Health Care? That’s why no one is getting fired at the VA. Say goodbye to real people taking your order at MacDonald’s, cause they’re trying to form a union. Canceling ‘Honors Night’, Bike Riding Coaches for little Ashley and Dylan, and Hand Shakes are more dangerous than smoking! This is some holiday weekend! Sponsored by Edelweiss Design

The week ahead, live from the deck at the Broadcast Bunker. This is becoming a Sunday night tradition. Having a steak and updating Bob Davis Podcast subscribers on key stories for the coming week. Wrap up for Operation American Spring protest which was held Saturday in Washington DC. Can you force congressmen and senators to resign? Can you impeach legislators? Then what? The VA health care controversy continues to grow. Get used to it, because the VA is what Obama Care will be like for all of us if the law isn’t repealed. Is the First Lady’s concern with the kidnap victims in Nigeria real? What Putin is really after. Fires in San Diego, Tornados in Alabama and a swamp called ‘The District of Columbia’ could flood if all the ice melts in the Antarctic (where it is the end of summer right now).
