Podcast 175

The News Cycle is boring me. A listener asks, I am tired of being pushed around and I want to run for office. What do I do? So called conservatives are long on outrage but short on basic political skills. How does one run for office? Forget the 2014 cycle, since the filing process, delegate process, conventions and soon the primary will be over. The candidates have been selected and they’re out campaigning. But, how DOES one run for office. I say you have to learn politics from the ground up, FIRST. That means volunteering to drop lit, door knock, work in your local political party office, become a leader by actually doing something for someone else once in awhile. Plus some short updates on the week’s top stories, and of course, the impending doom of the ‘polar vortex’, which will be cooling the upper midwest this week. All while we walk down the rail road tracks on a beautiful summer evening, as the sun sets. Lawn mowers, softball, the dog park, throwing rocks at big metal rails, and those incessant footfalls!

A street level live podcast updating top stories. Many people listen to podcasts while driving, so why not do a live podcast from the driver’s seat? Join Bob Davis as he rolls across the metro on his way to the bank. President Obama is in town, eating Juicy Loosey’s and talking about the economy. Despite the president’s taste for Matt’s burgers, restaurants in Minnesota say increases in the minimum wage will cause them to raise prices. In other parts of the country, restaurants and other small businesses are finding ObamaCare to be a particularly sticky wicket when it comes to insuring their employees, versus the cost. The Speaker of The House gets ready to sue the executive branch and a top senator says if Attorney General Holder doesn’t appoint a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of the lost Lois Lerner emails, he should be impeached. Now suddenly the EPA seems to have the same problem; losing emails, which allegedly show wrong doing, and that congress seems to be interested in.  Plus, are government agencies that produce the economic numbers cooking the books? Throw in hot yoga, memories of trips to the Dairy Queen and some Somali women, and you’ve got a story to tell!  Sponsored by X Government Cars!

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).
