Mar 25, 2016
In this episode I discuss the net effects of trade with China on the U.S. workforce and an educational revelation I had on the issue. 

I also address the economic hypocrisy of many liberals with regard to income inequality.
Mar 24, 2016

I also address the federal government's involvement in nearly every important component of my life. 


Mar 23, 2016
In this episode I address the continued liberal assault on the Reagan economic legacy. There is no reasonable comparison between the economic records of Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan.

Mar 22, 2016
In this episode I discuss some potential solutions to our trade deficit with China and one of the stealth reasons that the trade deficit persists.
 
I also address a piece in the far-left Salon.com which attempts to discredit the vibrant economy of the Reagan years. 


 
Mar 21, 2016

In this episode I discuss the Obama administration's insatiable desire to diminish U.S. sovereignty and implement global governance. The latest iteration of this is the Obama administration's giveaway of the Internet.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/stop-obamas-internet-giveaway-1458505088
 
I also address the disappearance of federalism and the disturbing growth of centralization. This is evident in the Obamacare versus the Little Sisters of the Poor case.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/obamacare-vs-little-sisters-of-the-poor-1458504604
 
Mar 18, 2016
In this episode I address the complete failure of the Venezuelan economy and how that failure corresponds to the implementation of socialist economic principles. This should serve as a cautionary tale for liberals but, it has become another opportunity to apologize for the savagery of socialism.

Mar 16, 2016
In this episode I address the Secret Service's role with regard to constitutionally-protected protest activity.

I also address the misguided liberal belief that government bureaucrats have the information necessary to make "investments" in the economy. 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/14/can-bernie-sanders-turn-the-united-states-into-denmark-an-investigation/
 
Finally, I discuss the "diaper loophole." This new liberal plan to subsidize the purchase of diapers is another example of government creating a problem and then using more government to "fix" it.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/14/the-cruelest-thing-about-buying-diapers/

http://www.wsj.com/articles/orderliness-in-schoolwhat-a-concept-1457998034



 
Mar 14, 2016
In this episode I provide a detailed explanation, through my experience as a Secret Service agent and a political candidate, of the tactics the far-left is using to silence their political opposition. I walk you through their battle-plan and explain their "heckler's veto" strategy.
I also address the far-left's economic strategy for gaining control of the economy. 
https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/03/plot-to-steal-the-economy
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/white-house-supreme-court-220691

http://www.wsj.com/articles/what-crisis-big-ratings-firms-stronger-than-ever-1457655084

https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/03/double-standards-are-the-only-standards


 
Mar 10, 2016

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-05/nine-horsemen-us-recession-apocalypse

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-trump-obama-corporate-tax-reform-fail-1457307126


 
Mar 4, 2016
In this episode I address the chaos which broke out in the scientific community recently when a scientist dared to credit The Creator for the design of the human hand. Our place in the universe is more readily explained when you accept some basic facts. 
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientific-study-paper-creator-intelligent-design-plos-one-creatorgate-a6910171.html
 
I also address the catastrophic collapse of the Brazilian economy after heavy government intervention and massive "stimulus" programs. 
This quote is particularly telling "The leftist government's generous spending programs were credited with lifting millions out of severe poverty, while Chinese demand for the country's mineral and agricultural riches paid the bills."
The Brazilian collapse, and the collapse of the Oregon and Vermont Obamacare exchanges, are potent examples of the government's economic information, and expertise, problem with regard to allocating assets. Without prices, they don't have the information needed.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/tom-wheelers-internet-debacle-1456964653
 
I also address the tricks left leaning economists use to sell people on big government.

In this episode I discuss the danger of an international trade war and how this will lead to economic destruction.

Mar 1, 2016

http://www.weeklystandard.com/making-the-socialist-grade/article/2001270/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=20160228_TWS-mag-socialist-grade-6_facebook.com&utm_content=TWS
 
Finally, I address the widespread confusion, among the supporters of Bernie Sanders, about what power is.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-new-theory-of-economic-inequality/2016/02/28/21b35e70-dca2-11e5-81ae-7491b9b9e7df_story.html?wpmm=1&wpisrc=nl_opinions

Finally, I address a piece by Matt Bruenig at Demos which uses irrational "economics" to make the case that government should exercise control over the means of production. 
Feb 25, 2016
In this episode I address my political future and answer some lingering questions. 
 
I also address the far-left's war on voting rights through their attacks on U.S. citizenship.

http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/sweden-is-evolving-to-private-healthcare/
 
Finally, I debunk a silly piece about the Barack Obama economy which appears to claim that he "turned around" the economy. 
http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/treasury-department-confirms-president-obama-has-fully-turned-around-the-u-s-economy/23369/


 
Feb 22, 2016
In this episode I address the perilous debt and deficit situation which is being disingenuously spun by the Obama administration. This spin is causing confusion which will only serve to hasten our impending bankruptcy. 
 
I also address why President Obama's snub of the Justice Scalia funeral goes behind just the "optics."
 
Finally, I discuss the Obama administration's continued attempts to shake down innocent American business owners to advance its agenda.
