Bill Flores - #Omnibus, #PowerofthePurse, #ISIS, #CampaignRep. Bill Flores from CD-17 in Texas will join the program tonight to discuss the recent passing of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill.  We've been told for many years how the House of Representatives controls the "Power of the Purse."  From setting up budgets for school lunch programs to the funding of the military and VA services, the Omnibus bill essentially approves money to be spent on government programs.  Conservatives have been counting on this Constitutional requirement in order to stop some of the assaults on our taxpayers.  From funding Planned Parenthood, to funding President Obama's nightmare healthcare program, Congress, more specifically the House of Representatives has the final say in whether or not programs get the funding to survive another year.  This recent funding bill has upset many Conservatives / Republicans who felt let down by the passing of this bill.  We will talk with Congressman Flores and get his take on why he voted for the bill.  Also, we'll get some insight into other important issues like ISIS and the conflict in the Middle East.  Maybe we can even getr a few thoughts on the Presidential race.  Tune in ! 00:47:00The Duke Machado ShownoBill Flores,Omnibus,Texas,Republican,ConservativeWe've only got 30 minutes with the Congressman from CD-17.

I asked.  She told me of her daily challenges and fearful nights living in the streets of Waco.  She explained what happened to her and how she lost her eye.  "I was sleeping, and someone swung at me with an ax," she said, as she pulled back her cap and hair, to reveal the damage to her skull.  She's bouncing from place to place...one homeless shelter to another.  One convenience store to another.  I went in to pay for gas and as I was walking back to pump gas, she asked me if I could give her a ride.  I agreed on one condition, that she would allow me to record her story during our drive.  Tonight, I'll air she short interview.  Call ins welcome. 00:30:00The Duke Machado ShownoHomeless Waco,Homeless,Linda,PovertyNot sure why I decided to help this woman, but for some reason, I agreed to give her a ride.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/11/20/111915-national-debt-discussion-w-dr-oualaalouPolitics Conservativehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/11/20/111915-national-debt-discussion-w-dr-oualaalou/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/11/20/111915-national-debt-discussion-w-dr-oualaalouFri, 20 Nov 2015 04:00:00 GMT11/19/15- National Debt discussion w/ Dr. Oualaalouour discussion tonight is about debt. we all have to live within our personal budgets, but the United States does not.we continue to print money and borrow from other countries. how does this affect us as a nation and is there anyway to bring things back under control?00:30:00The Duke Machado ShownoDavid Oualaalou,National debt,financescontrol. tonight we discuss how bad things arehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/11/19/111815--refugees-borders-and-immigrationPolitics Conservativehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/11/19/111815--refugees-borders-and-immigration/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/11/19/111815--refugees-borders-and-immigrationThu, 19 Nov 2015 04:00:00 GMT11/18/15 - #Refugees, #Borders and #ImmigrationThe call-in line is open.  I will be talking about the Refugee crisis, immigration and Filter Program ideas.  What the heck is going on folks?  Can't we stop the flow of refugees?  Should we?  Tune in tonight for more on these topics.   00:30:00The Duke Machado ShownoSyrian Refugees,Refugees,Immigration,Filter,TerrorismWhat the heck is going on folks?

Councilman, John Austin Basham Joins ProgramAfter being elected, Coouncilman John Austin Basham, began looking into documents and files the city had and was trying to find many others that 'disappeared'. But more recently and the 'straw that broke the camels back' as it were was being approached by a sworn peace officer for the City of Reno with concerns about illegal activity. This officer told me he had recordings of this alleged illegal activity by city officials and supervisors. After much debate about what to do he gave me some recordings with what appears to be alleged illegal activity, abuse of office, and threats of job loss if they didn't fall in line. All this by city officials both sworn and elected. He gave this to me as an elected official because the management of the Police Department and the City 's Mayor are the ones on the tapes. Upon receiving the tapes, I asked for legal advice from the Reno city attorney regarding my duties in my capacity as a councilman. The city attorney refused to give me guidance or direction and instead notified those involved in the apparent illegal activity. (I will post that letter and my response later tonight or tomorrow). This was then followed up by a city employee (who was on the tape) calling select council members and telling them I was out of control (or worse - as was mentioned specifically about me on one of the tapes by the Mayor).  We will speak directly with Councilman Basham, after his meeting on Monday Night, and get his story on record.   00:23:00The Duke Machado ShownoReno,Texas,John Austin Basham,City Councilman,CorruptionIllegal activity, recorded audio, abuse of office and threats of job loss cause Councilman John Austin Basham to go on Record and Blow Whistlehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/10/17/101615--is-it-ok-to-be-exceptionalPolitics Conservativehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/10/17/101615--is-it-ok-to-be-exceptional/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukemachadoshow/2015/10/17/101615--is-it-ok-to-be-exceptionalSat, 17 Oct 2015 03:00:00 GMT10/16/15 - Is it OK to be Exceptional?Last night we had Dr. David Oualaalou, Professor at McLennan College, on to speak about education.  He mentioned that we needed to have higher standards in our education and instill exceptional-ism into our students.  I agree with him, but many in Liberal/progressive circles will say this is not a good approach.  Instead, we are reminded of the now dubbed, "American Apology Tour," by President Obama.  He toured the world to inform the global residents, America is not an Exceptional country.  We are average, regular peopl, like everyone else in the world.  Sure, I'm paraphrasing, but you get the point.  Why is it so important for progressives to control the education system?  Why must we take on the "average mindset" and perform at average capacity?  Tune-in tonight at 10pm CT to listen this discussion.  I'll be taking LIVE calls tonight, so feel free to call in! 00:30:00The Duke Machado ShownoAmerican Exceptionalism,Higher Standards,Education,Apology Tour,Barak ObamaAmerican Exceptional-ism is a bad word in some circles.

with their Party, seized the opportunity to join a movement to "Take our country back!"   But, through the years, like with other organizations, factions began to emerge within their ranks, with their own agendas and legislative ideas.  From guns to religion and abortion, the TEA Party is no longer about being Taxed Enough Already, but instead has taken on multiple fronts, with varying viewpoints and different styles of leadership.  In this program, I will be joined by David Smith, from Texas, and we'll be sharing our thoughts on those viewpoints and how they affect politics.  The "independent" voter always plays a role in Presidential Elections, and in the past, those Independent candidates have always ruffled feathers, but many times have cost the election.  Call in to weigh
