We had a big disagreement about libertarian Sen. Rand Paul and the GOP version of Obamacare Lite, but still had lots of fun. As always, the blonde babe offered great insights about President Trump, TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome ), the GOP and Russia-gate! Liz Peek was one of the first women on Wall Street to become a partner of a so-called "major bracket" firm. After graduating with an Honors Degree in Economics and as a Durant Scholar from Wellesley College, she joined a research boutique on Wall Street where she developed an improbable expertise in backhoes, rock bits and oilfield wireline services.  Peek is a columnist with The Fiscal Times and FoxNews.com and a regular guest on Fox Business shows including “Varney & Company,” “After the Bell” and “Making Money with Charles Payne.” She also is a featured panelist on Fox and has appeared on many other TV programs including with Larry Kudlow and on “Fox & Friends.”

Last week Rep. Amash wrote a two-page letter explaining why he voted for the Republican healthcare modification to Obamacare. Darren and I are divided over his comments. Well, not really decided since I can't argue any of the points he made on today's show. I'm jus a little less critical than he is. We ask our representatives to treat liberty as a primary political value and always to vote in a way that takes us closer to liberty. Did Justin Amash do that? I'll let you be the judge.***Texas is set to open its own gold depository. This is shockingly good news. It means Texans (and maybe the rest of us) will be able to deposit gold into the depository and use it as real money through checking and debit accounts.I'll read you the story today. My information is limited, but I'm going to see about getting an expert on the show to talk us through what it all means. On the plus side, we talk a little about fractional reserve banking in today's episode which should give you a much clearer picture of how banking works. JasonSupport the show.

Show discussing news, politics, and culture from the perspective of Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. Hosted by Amy Peikoff. Discussion and evaluation of two schisms that recently have been the subject of much discussion: one within the GOP and another within the Objectivist movement. See Program Notes at my blog, posted about an hour before showtime, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

Trump says AHCA negotiations are over. Calls for Friday vote. Case can be made this is Obamacare Lite because it doesn't fully repeal the structure of Obamacare. Free markets have the best answers & government creates the biggest problems. Moving us toward single payer? Congressman Nunes voices concerns about Trump communications being intercepted & his being unmasked. More evidence for Trump/Russia or Richard Milhous Obama spying on Trump? A return to the conversation about the Salon article saying Republicans are 'cruel to the poor' for wanting to cut entitlement programs. A personal anecdote from a time I ran a Boys & Girls Club. Heritage report on the results of The War on Poverty over 50 years. By what metric has this been successful? What really helps the poor: govt programs or private charity & (gasp) churches? Wish I had time to discuss more. Have a great weekend! GO DAWGS!!!

It a move of pure defiance the freedom caucus appears to have the votes necessary to block the new Republican health care replacement. To call it a replacement is quite a stretch. In reality, it is a modification of the Affordable Care Act that leaves in place most of the mandates from the ACA. It's a far cry from the platform Republicans have run on for the last eight years.This hasn't stopped the Republican leadership from spreading doom and gloom. In an attempt to secure passage of the new Obamacare Lite bill, they are suggesting that if they cannot pass healthcare that tax cuts might be in jeopardy. Today I'll break down the why and tell you exactly what you need to know.***Gorsuch is on Capital Hill this week giving testimony for his supreme court nomination. There's not much here worth covering, but that hasn't stopped the media from running the hearings in full. I've been watching for the last hour, and it's been night but Democrats attempting to catch Gorsuch in an incriminating statement while Republicans try to protect him. Gorsuch doesn't seem to need much protection. In my opinion, he has handled himself with incredible poise and clarity. I cannot see how he could not be confirmed. ***Finally, Twitter is shutting down accounts in record number. More than 636,000 accounts have been terminated due to what Twitter calls "extremism." Despite what some would like you to believe, this is not a freedom of speech issue. You don't have the right to say whatever you want on Twitter's platform. But this does cause me some concern when I think about how fragile the first amendment has become. Twitters hard line is just one example of how our society is becoming increasingly intolerant of views with which we disagree. Thanks so much for listening.

This week on the big show, Fingers and Tracy discuss President Trump's proposed budget that calls for cuts to things the left believes we can't live without like NPR and the NEA, oh the horror! Rand Paul is still not satisfied with Paul Ryan's "ObamaCare Lite" bill. Ashe Schow stops by to talk about Rachel Maddow's epic primetime failure, and Fingers and Tracy dissect CAFE standards and the harm they have done to the automotive industry. Added bonus; they tell you how you can get hitched at Taco Bell!

I meant to mention this earlier in the week: "Reason to Vote for Democrats" shoots to top of Amazon charts. But it's a book full of blank pages. Creative reviews. No tax reform until after August recess? Democrat Party is a train wreck, but GOP is not handling healthcare properly. Devastating to craft a bill that doesn't unleash the free market. Democrats will use that failure to push single payer. Pence says Obamacare replacement will pass by spring. When will we be repealing Obamacare. History of 'repeal & replace' - and what the real promise was. GOP Congress is telling us to 'trust them' to build upon legislation later. They'll forgive me for not trusting them. Is this legislation Trumpcare, Ryancare, Obamacare Lite, Congresscare, something else? Branding matters. If Americans see this as Obamacare Lite, I think it may have big difficulties passing. Repeal is a necessary part of this because that is the original promise. Trump halfway through first 100 days. Approval polls put him near 50%. NCAA tournament time: perfect time for Obama to make his public return & promote his $65 million book - even if it has blank pages at this point. ESPN cutting on-air talent due to losing revenue. The Nutty Professor Bernie Sanders says, 'despair is not an option.' Sure it is. That's why the Leftists have cry-ins, Play-Doh, coloring books, teddy bears & service dogs for college students who voted for Hillary.

-Donald Trump's speech to the Joint Session of Congress (which the guys think should just be called the State of the Union) went over very well. Trump talked about being a representative of the American people versus being a representative of the world and emphasized how much he values the rights of sovereign nations. The people appear to be satisfied with Trump's words, but Pat and Stu are digging deeper.-How are Republicans reacting to the proposed stimulus, which will result in $2 Trillion in spending? House Speaker Paul Ryan, who was sitting directly behind Trump, applauded Trump's proposal. This is the same man who ran against Barack Obama in 2012 on a Mitt Romney platform that decried spending increases such as this. Add in the fact that Trump possibly pitched an Obamacare-Lite policy, and you have wonder if the GOP will end up caving to this man who feels he could be way more popular being a moderate Democrat?-Trump utilized a quote by Abraham Lincoln to justify his proposed tariff increases…the guys agree that things have changed a bit since Abe made that quote… Pat explains that tariffs were extremely harmful to the economy of the pre-Civil War United States and that the current president needs to rethink his justification of such policies today.-Also, Pat denounces the insinuation that America's infrastructure is crumbling. He cites the country's airports, which he says are supposed to be functional, not beautiful.-Will repealing Obamacare result in piles of dead people on every street corner? Has the Affordable Care Act saved 700 Trillion lives? The answer to both of those questions is no. Pat and Stu examine a report published by the Manhattan Institute that determined that the ACA has not saved lives due to the fact that the percentage of insured Americans has actually declined in many areas and the fact that states which accepted Medicaid increases have actually seen a worsening of age-adjusted mortality. Pat tells the story of how Glenn Beck's company coverage was slashed in quality, and Stu tells the horror story of his insurance company's clash with his dentist.-Sarah Silverman has ticked off both mothers and fathers with her commentary on parenthood. She tweeted that she chose living a full life over motherhood, because it was practically impossible to live a full life with children to take care of. She also praised fathers who travel a lot because they get to come home randomly and just be cool dads. Yeah, the guys agree that she just doesn't get it about parenthood. Just stick to comedy, Sarah.-Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) has declared a state of emergency in his state due to a surge in heroin and opioid-related deaths. His state saw 1468 people die due to such overdoses between January and September of 2016, and this was not the first year with horrific numbers. The guys discuss their views on various drug crises over the course of their lifetimes and specifically examine the 1986 death of basketball star Len Bias due to a cocaine overdose.-Which brands topped Consumer Report's list of top auto manufacturers? Did Pat and Stu's cars get the praise they deserved? What does Pat even drive?Listen to Pat & Stu for FREE on TheBlaze Radio Network from 5p-7p ET, Mon. through Fri. www.theblaze.com/radioTwitter: @PatandStuFacebook: PatandStu Learn more about your ad choices.
