Podcast for Sunday's Discussion over the Economy, Sobriety Checkpoints, Warrants, Austerity, Protest at the Brooklyn Bridge, Illegal Aliens, Obamacare

Constitution Speaker on KCAA Sun, Oct 2, 2011

We began today's program by answering a listener's question about the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints. I have also written an article about it in the post before this one.

Today we were joined by Bob Rinear of InvestYourself.com to discuss the troubled stock market, the fact that the International Monetary Fund is suggesting that their resources may not be able to weather Europe's latest economic storm, Obama's suggestion that Europe just needs to borrow more money, the protests in Greece and Portugal as both countries draw nearer to default, and the overall economic picture for the future.

After the interview, JASmius joined me for the 5 Big Stories of the Weekend

Nuts and Nuggets

Nut: Actress, comedienne and now author Roseanne Barr shares her solution for dealing with the rich and how the banks could repay the money the U.S. government bailed them out with in 2008.

"Part of my platform is, of course, the guilty must be punished and that we no longer let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder. Because it teaches children, you know, that they don't have to have any morals as long as they have guns and are bullies and I don't think that's a good message," Barr told Russia Today (RT).

"I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty.

"I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn't help, then being beheaded," Barr said with a straight face.
