xPost from GD: Radio show this week: Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D) CA on Shutdown and more

Don't miss Making Sense with Steve Leser this week, More shutdown coverage and Syria, Egypt and Iran.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier and I discuss the Government Shutdown and the Debt Ceiling crisis

Geneive Abdo, Middle East expert from the Brookings Institute joins me to talk about Syria, Iran and Egypt

Then of course we end with our trademark weekly hall of fame and shame for those politicians and prominent individuals who made great sense or shameful nonsense, respectively.

You can hear the show tonight at 7pm Eastern time on Blogtalk Radio at the below link (or anytime afterwards at archive in the same link) or tomorrow, Monday at 2pm Pacific time on KCAA 1050am in Inland Empire and the LA Basin in California

We're seeing lots of nonsense ACA stories posted without the facts needed to evaluate them

I just went to http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/ and estimated what a single person at 40 years old living in Florida, a state that opted out of the Medicaid increase, earning $12,000 a year would pay for a silver plan. Do you know what that person's premium is?

$12 a month for a silver plan.

We're hearing all of this nonsense from people about suffering under the ACA. Here is what we need or its bullshit.

1. The state you live in

2. Your age

3. Your income

4. Size of your family including how many kids 20 and younger

If you don't provide that, none of what you said means anything.

I'm facing off today at 4pm on Your World with Neil Cavuto vs Eric Bolling and Cheri Jacobus

the topic is whether President Obama negotiates. Cheri believes he never negotiates with Republicans and never will.

I, of course, have a different opinion.

IRV poll I created for the 2016 Democratic Presidential Nomination - Poll #2

This is the second in a series; I will create a new one every few months or so. I thought it might be interesting to see what an Instant Runoff Voting poll would yield as far as preferred Presidential Candidate. If you are interesting in participating, below is the link and the candidates for this poll.

In this iteration, I have removed Elizabeth Warren's name to reflect her recent statement that she is not interested in running.

http://www.demochoice.org/dcballot.php?poll=2016poll2

Candidate: Hillary Clinton
Candidate: Joe Biden
Candidate: Martin O'Malley
Candidate: Howard Dean
Candidate: Andrew Cuomo
Candidate: Tim Kaine
Candidate: Mark Warner
Candidate: Amy Klobuchar
Candidate: Jim Webb
Candidate: Kristen Gillibrand

Message from an RT host after informing them I'm not doing Russian Media as a result of

the Russian anti-gay law.

XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
Steve, I am sorry to hear that you will no longer appear on xxxxxxxxx because of the myths, lies, and intentional media manipulation regarding so-called “anti-gay laws” in Russia. It really saddens me that intimation of free speech in the US has gotten this bad. Best of luck to you, xxxxxxxxxxxx
