Arnold, CA...We are excited to announce "Mornings With The One Percent™" a new, live, three hour, news & entertainment program will premier on July 3rd. It will run for three hours weekday mornings.

So even when bad things happen here (which they do) at the end of the day we have a lot to be thankful for as we live in some of the greatest areas literally on the planet. We may not all be a Buffett, Gates or a Bezos but we are part of the one percent because we call this area home.

Washington, CA...My fellow Americans, Millions of families across our nation are suffering under the disaster known as Obamacare. Traveling throughout our country over the last two years, I have met so many of these wonderful Americans, and I have never forgotten their stories. In Wisconsin, I recently met a proud Veteran and his wife – Michael and Tammy Kushman. When they were forced onto Obamacare and the exchange in 2015, they thought they would be able to keep their doctor-but they couldn't. They thought they would be able to keep their plan – but they weren't allowed. They were told their premiums would go down – but instead, they soared by 120 percent upward. It was one Obamacare lie after another. Today, the Kushmans spend $1,400 dollars a month on health insurance – nearly one-fourth of their entire net monthly income.
