Updating the top stories. It’s all about immigration as President Obama tries to change the subject, from the economy to immigration. As the crisis on the border intensifies into a media circus, its up to voters to decide whether this fourth tier issue in previous political polling for this election cycle, can trump Jobs and The Economy with enough froth from the Bully Pulpit. In this podcast, a citizen from Houston, Texas asks a really good question; What about my neighborhood? What about my kids? Meanwhile, Israel is about to send troops into the West Bank to stop Hamas missile attacks, and both sides blame US Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent attempts to ‘force peace’ for the fighting. In Iraq, ‘The Islamic State’, formerly known as ‘ISIL’ or ‘ISIS’ now has ‘nuclear material’, and the remnants of Iraqi chemical munitions. Yet analysts persist in saying ‘The Islamic State’ will be short lived. A new study says there is no such thing as a ‘moderate’ voter, and Bob Davis celebrates being vindicated after years of decrying so called ‘moderates’ and useless ‘independents’. Listen and find out why. Finally, the South West Light Rail fight between Saint Louis Park and Minneapolis might be back on, since the dreaded Freight Rail Reroute option is back on the table in the latest ‘agreement’.

Economy News. The US Economy Contracts 2.9 Per Cent. The ‘economy’ is back at the top of the page as final revised numbers for the 1st quarter indicate a shocking contraction in US GDP. Will the second quarter be better, the same or worse? If you listen to the mainstream media, the White House and the financial channels, you’d think it’s all because of the polar vortex and the long winter. Is it? Or is it due to reductions in investment, the creation of part time jobs, Obamacare, higher corporate taxes, new tax policy implementation and generally misdirected or confused economic policy by President Obama and the Democrat Congress before 2010? What kind of economic policy does the US need to achieve dynamic and rapid economic growth? How are democrats and republicans off in the weeds, with seemingly no idea how to achieve such growth. What do voters need to do to get things righted in 2014? It’s all here in one little podcast! Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Light Rail opens service between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Iraq burns, and the controversy over Eric Cantor’s loss to Dave Brat in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District continues. The Bob Davis Podcasts gets you updated for the week ahead. Pew says America is so divided ‘Conservatives’ and ‘Liberals’ don’t even want to be neighbors. Do people understand the details of issues enough to actually understand the difference? Is there a difference? With Iraq unraveling what do you think the President should do? Air strikes? Is it really all Bush’s fault? Finally, Wall Street, K Street, the Crony Capitalists and those who do their bidding are shocked, and frightened at the implications of Eric Cantor’s loss in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. Is this populism? Was the Tea Party really involved? Or have people just had it with business as usual in Washington? And, a bold new proposal for advertising from the Bob Davis Podcasts, at the end of this podcast. If you want more podcasts, use the donate button to sponsor one.
