We must make the moral case for capitalism and the free market! We must go on offense and stop going on defense everytime someone argues about the "evils" of the free market and capitalism. This is the only way to fight back against these people who think they have the moral high ground! And we can! The truth and history is on our side. John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford made life better for the average Amercian, not worse. We must be able to argue and pursuade people and show them that capitalism is the most moral system. When the rich get richer it doesn't hurt the poor, instead it makes the poor better off. To get rich in a captialist system means we must provide a good/service that people want and will make them better off. Henry Ford didn't get rich by selling cars only to the rich. He got rich when he made a car cheap enough that the average American could afford. And look at how the car revolutionized society and how much freedom it gave to the individual. We must fight for this! Listen to my podcast and together we can DEFEND THE FREE MARKET!!!

Cutting taxes and still growing the size of government isn’t the answer! We need to actually cut the size of government!

June 22, 2017 02:53 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MB

With the republicans in charge on Capitol hill, it seems we might just get some tax reform. Many republicans seem to think that if we can just cut taxes we can get the economy booming and the debt problem we have right now will be no more. This view sounds all well and good but if republicans are really thinking cutting taxes and at the same time growing the size of government will make things better, they are delusional! All government spending is taxation so therefore we need to cut the si...

69% of Americans admit to having less than $1000 in the bank! Is this partly the result of the payment mentality?

June 13, 2017 23:08 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MB

69% of Americans admit to have less than a $1000 in the bank! Why is this? Even the retirees out there die broke. 46% of retirees die with less than $10,000 in the bank. That’s not much money when you’re not bringing in income and are relying on savings! There’s no question there’s a lot of factors that have led to the average American being broke and the payment mentality is certainly one of the many contributing factors. In the last 17 years we have seen a 4% rise in median wages and an 89...

Regardless of party, when will people realize that just adding another government program or regulation is not the answer!

June 06, 2017 21:55 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MB

Jared Bernstein, from his new piece at the New York Times discusses what the lefts agenda should be. He makes the case that progressives must remain in waiting and be ready when it’s time to act but always be fighting. All of the agenda items he wants to see calls for more government programs, more regulations, more subsidies for the poor and he thinks this will make life better for the averages American! Has he learned nothing from LBJ’s great society in the 1960’s. This is why we free mark...

The cost of Electric car batteries projected to fall 77% by 2025!

May 30, 2017 07:00 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MB

Half of the cost of an electric car is from the battery packs and cost of these battery packs are projected to fall 77% by 2025!  Just back in 2010 it cost $1000 per kWh and today Tesla is doing it at a cost of $190 per kWh. So prices have already fallen significantly and will continue this trend. This is encouraging to see and this is why we don’t need to subsidize and encourage people to go “green.” When the price is right because of production prices have drastically fallen then the consu...

Just improving economic growth to the 3.2% post WWII GDP average isn’t enough to stop this next economic crisis from coming!

May 23, 2017 16:19 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MB

Many conservatives and supply siders seem to think we can grow out of massive debt problems but that is not the case. Even if we achieved economic growth of 3% instead of our current average since 2010 at 2% that will cut the deficit by $3 Trillion over the next decade. That sounds all nice but we will still be adding another $9 Trillion to the debt over that same decade! Entitlements need to be addressed if we want to get serious about our debt issues. Unfortunately for us, the politicians ...

The crony capitalist system today is destroying the word capitalism for the average person!

May 16, 2017 05:50 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

Capitalism today is seen as a bad word but this is because what people see as capitalism is really crony capitalism! This is what we need to change in people’s minds!  This is not how capitalism really is!  Capitalism is about exchanging value for value. The very wealthy are getting wealthier at a faster pace today compared to every other income group out there because the very rich benefit from an inflationary monetary policy from the Federal Reserve!  We need to stop this cronyism now befo...

Venezuela continues to raise the minimum wage and people continue to starve! When will people wake up!?

May 09, 2017 07:00 - 16 minutes - 15 MB

The crisis in Venezuela just continues to get worse. Riots have been going on for 2 months now and protestors have taken down a statue of Hugo Chavez. The crisis continues to get worse as the government continues to take more and more control. Seizing private property, having majoring ownership in 511 companies and things just get worse for the Venezuelan people. When will people put 2 and 2 together? I won’t hold my breath.

Trump’s first 100 days in office shows us he’s an interventionist domestically as well as internationally!

May 02, 2017 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

April 29th marked President Trump’s 100th day in office. The importance of the first 100 days is stressed day in and day out in the media but what’s to make of Trump’s presidency thus far? Some libertarians were enthusiastic supports of President Trump. They thought Trump’s foreign policy would be very much isolationist. What we have learned of Trump’s first 100 days in office is that he’s an interventionist domestically as well as internationally. This isn’t good news for lovers of liberty!

American Airlines employee hits woman with stroller and urges passenger to fight him! Where’s the Facebook memes? Also, Bill O’Reilly fired from Fox News and Trump thinks the dollar is too strong!

April 25, 2017 07:00 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MB

American Airlines now has its own incident and I don’t see the news headlines for this one like we saw with United. An employee of American Airlines hits a woman with a stroller while me pulls it out of her hands and the stroller almost hits the woman’s baby as well. After this incident the employee comes back on the plane and asks a passenger if he wants to fight and go at it. Also, the former king of cable news, Bill O’Reilly is fired from Fox News! In political news, Trump said in a Wall ...

Insight into the United Airlines debacle with Dr. David Dao that is missed by the mainstream media!

April 18, 2017 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB

United Airlines was the topic of media discussion all last week with the bloody Dr. David Dao. There’re some simple solutions that could have prevented this horrible incident from ever occurring! Obviously compensation greater than $800 should have occurred to entice passengers to voluntarily give up their seats. Also, last minute changes to flight crews should be avoided when everyone had already boarded the plane. People are less likely to give up their seat when they’re already sitting it...

The FED insider, Danielle DiMartino Booth and Forbes columnist, John Tamny on the FED! Both partially correct?

April 11, 2017 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

Danielle DiMartino Booth has a new book out on the fed from an insiders perspective. She says many things that Austrians can agree with and other things where she doesn’t go far enough!  She says we shouldn’t get rid of the fed but rather just need more competent people in charge. John Tamny offers critiques on her book but John misses the point in many respects. John Tamny thinks we mainly don’t need a fed because it’s largely irrelevant as it is. The way Mr. Tamny sees how the banking syst...

What Nasa could do for $450 million dollars, the private sector can do for $200,000! GO FIGURE!!

April 04, 2017 07:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MB

Elon Musk successfully launched and landed the recycled rocket, Falcon 9. This is such a perfect example of how the private sector does things better and far cheaper than anything the government can do. The private sector can launch a rocket at a price tag of $200,000 compared to NASA’s cost of $450 million!  Isn’t that insane!? The more money that goes to government than that’s more money that is just being pissed away to the inefficient and wasteful government! Government invests for a pol...

TrumpCare vote cancel shows us the civil war occurring in the Republican Party and that the “effort” to repeal Obamacare while Obama was still in office was a bluff all along!

March 28, 2017 07:00 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MB

Paul Ryan pulled the vote expected vote for the republican healthcare bill. The republican party is at war with itself. We see the establishment types blaming conservatives for not falling in line. The republican healthcare bill was a disaster and this goes to show that all the republican votes to repeal Obamacare, while Obama was in office was a bluff!  The republicans never did want to fully repeal Obamacare!  Big government only continues to grow under the supposedly “small government” re...

Is Trump the reason for a more aggressive FED? Also, the brilliant government in Venezuela is arresting bakers and has decided to make standing in breadlines illegal!

March 21, 2017 07:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MB

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the 3rd time in 10 years at its March meeting. Most of the “experts” out there didn’t expect this rate hike until the week before!  Janet Yellen is more aggressive to raise interest rates simply because Trump is now the fall guy. Trump from his tweets has taken ownership of this economy from the political perspective. Meanwhile in Venezuela, things are getting worse…People are standing in bread lines and the government has decided to make standin...

The victim mentality in society today is out of control and the first jobs number of the Trump presidency is released!

March 14, 2017 07:00 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MB

People are upset with what I had to say in regards to Indian reservations and capitalism. People today like to see themselves as victims. Once you see yourself as a victim you have already lost!  You have the power to change your thinking at any time and how you choose to let things effect you. Most people don’t get this and they settle for mediocrity in life. The latest jobs numbers released were the first to come out of the Trump presidency and they’re better than Obama’s last year in offi...

Trump addresses Congress and it sounds like we’re going from Obamacare to Trumpcare!?

March 07, 2017 08:00 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MB

Trump addressed Congress for the first time and his speech had a very nationalistic and police state sort of vibe to it. The republicans that were against a big government when Obama was in office, now seem to be falling behind their leader supporting a $1 Trillion infrastructure program! President Trump also suggested five things that he wants to see done with healthcare and it really sounds like Obamacare lite! The only way to reduce the severity of our future economic crisis is to shrink ...

The curse that is the PC police and Government Welfare! If you’re a snowflake or are offended easily please DON’T listen to this episode!

February 28, 2017 08:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

A local radio host at KCTR in Montana, Paul Mushaben, was taken out by the politically correct culture that’s overwhelming the politics of today! He has been indefinably suspended for pointing out the property destruction that has taken place when Native American basketball teams have played other schools in Montana. To boil this all down, what is it that has led to this sort bad reputation from these teams? Race has nothing to do with it!  It’s a lack of capitalism on Indian reservations. W...

How much bigger will this bubble get in the Stock Market? And flying drone taxis in Dubai by this summer!

February 21, 2017 08:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MB

The stock market continues to hit record highs and the Dow is nearing in on its next target, a 21,000 point DOW. How much more will the markets go up before the big crash? That’s something hard to predict but gold and silver have also been on the rise. Gold is up nearly 8% in 2017 and silver is up 13%. Gold and silver are still not anywhere close to their record highs from 2011. With I high risk stock market, gold and silver at this point, is incredibly cheap insurance! Also, unpiloted flyin...

The Economics of the NFL and starving Venezuelans are eating Flamingos and Ant Eaters!

February 14, 2017 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.6 MB

The super bowl this year turned out to be an incredible game with the comeback win by the patriots. Tom Brady, who is arguably the best quarterback of all time, was a 6th round draft pick!  When each NFL team has a salary cap of $155 million a lot of strategy and opportunity cost comes into when putting together a “winning” team. Then we move over to Venezuela and those people are going through a lot and have been for some time now as they are going through an economic collapse. The people o...

Same people who blame 2008 financial crisis on partial repeal of Glass-Steagall (deregulation) think Dodd-Frank bill (more regulation) will prevent the next financial crisis.

February 07, 2017 08:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MB

The 2,300 page Dodd-Frank bill that was passed into law back in 2010, is seen as a way to prevent another 2008 like event. This line of thinking is totally out of wack with reality and another financial crisis is coming!  Politicians always think if we just add another regulation that will protect us but unintended consequences come with these new regulations and Dodd-Frank is full of them!  The partial repeal of Glass-Steagall is seen as the deregulation that led to the financial crisis in ...

GDP growth in 2016 was a miniscule 1.6%! The real reason for this slow growth is something you won’t hear in the mainstream media!

January 31, 2017 08:00 - 19 minutes - 17.6 MB

The GDP growth numbers for 2016 were recently released and it was below expert expectations. GDP growth for 2016 was only 1.6%! The average GDP growth for the last 7 ½ years was only 2.1%! Those are some really lousy numbers! The question is, why has our economy grown so slowly these last 7 ½ years? It’s mainly because government spending is crowding out private sector investment! We need to shrink the size of government! That is how we make America Great Again!

Obama added $9.3 Trillion to the national debt in 8 years, Bush added $4.9 Trillion. Spending ourselves into oblivion is a nonpartisan issue. Lets stop with the Republican vs. Democrat cheerleading!

January 24, 2017 08:00 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MB

On January 20th Donald Trump was officially sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. The 17 minute long speech he gave had a very nationalistic sort of tone to it and that is not a good sign for lovers of liberty.  Obama added $9.3 Trillion to the national debt in 8 years, while Bush added $4.9 Trillion. The problem with our economy today and the problems our country is facing is we’re spending too much money and the government is too big!  Both parties are at fault and the only ...

Cadillac unveils its $1,500 per month car subscription service called Book by Cadillac! Is the future of the car industry like a Netflix subscription?

January 17, 2017 08:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

Vehicle discounts increased in December of 2016 to increase auto sales to yet, another record year!  Demand for cars has fallen because the auto bubble is deflating and it took a decrease in vehicle prices to bring people into dealerships. How much longer will this go on? The auto loan bubble will be fully pricked by the time the next economic crisis is here and we seem to be very close to that. Also, companies like Cadillac are offering a new program where you pay a $1,500 subscription and ...

Donald Trump and the tweet heard around the world!

January 10, 2017 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

Donald Trump is 10 days away from being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States so we have to ask ourselves what will a Trump presidency look like? The way Trump is on twitter all the time saying he will put tariffs on a company that sends jobs overseas is rather concerning. It’s going to be an interesting 4 years of the Donald and I don’t think they will be good for liberty at all.

Thomas Sowell says Farewell and what he has meant to the liberty movement!

January 03, 2017 08:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MB

Thomas Sowell wrote his last column on December 28th and he decided to give it up after about 40 years of doing it!  Sowell has had a huge impact the economic world because of the amazing books he has written over the years!  He’s an extremely gifted writer who writes very clearly, concisely and is just a brilliant mind. A few points he makes in his last few columns are discussed to pay tribute to an incredible mind that has done lots of work defending the free market and making the moral ca...

The Biggest Political Loser in 2016 and a French woman gets engaged to a Robot while awaiting the legalization of Human-Robot Marriage!

December 27, 2016 08:00 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB

Who do you think is the biggest political loser in 2016?  I would argue the biggest, political loser in modern American history is Hillary Clinton!  Hillary Clinton has always been seen as the inevitable first woman president but that no longer seems probable at all!  Also, a woman in France is literally engaged to a Robot and she plans on marrying this thing when it’s legalized!  This world is literally insane and I think things will only get more insane in 2017!

The FED raises interest rates for 2nd time in 10 years! Also, will Donald Trump really make America Great Again?

December 20, 2016 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

No one was shocked by the FEDs recent decision to raise interest rates to .5-.75%. The FED has raised interest rates a total sum of .5% in 10 years!  That’s not much of a move but the markets think the FED is being very hawkish right now with the dollar hitting a 14 year high!  During the campaign, Trump stressed to people how he will make America great again but really it’s an impossibility. The only way for things to turn around is if the government shrinks and the free market is allowed t...

Donald Trump and the Carrier deal is more of the same cozy relationship between big business and big government!

December 13, 2016 08:00 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

Donald Trump agreeing to a deal with Carrier to keep jobs in the U.S. is the crony capitalist system we have today. This is how business in America is done today and why we are very far away from any kind of free market system! Granting special deals and privilege to government favored businesses is the government picking winners and losers! The government protecting businesses from competition makes them actually less competitive and less responsible to the consumer. So we, as taxpayers, ar...

The Truth about Cuba you won’t get in the Mainstream Media and what Fidel Castro really did for the Cuban people!

December 06, 2016 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

Just after Thanksgiving, Fidel Castro died at 90 years old. Fidel first came to power in Cuba in 1959 and ruled there for over 50 years! People on the left love to praise Cuba and they loved the heck out of Fidel! But what is really the truth? Did Fidel really improve the lives of the Cuban people or did he make life much worse? What is life like today for the Cuban people? Cuba really is a good example that communism doesn’t work and socialism/communism is anything but compassionate! Capita...

The Deflationary Death Spiral! Should it be feared???

November 29, 2016 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

Many people are fearing deflation but is this really something to be feared?  Not at all!  If we had an unhampered, free market deflation would naturally occur in the economy!  We would have slowly falling prices because we are more productive and at the same time, real wages are rising!  Today, real wages are falling and the Federal Reserve is slowly eating away our purchasing power via inflation! The deflationary death spiral is a myth and can never happen. Only when government gets involv...

With all this “Good” Economic Data and optimism out there, has the Economy recovered? I think not!

November 22, 2016 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MB

Prior to Donald Trump being elected, it was said the markets would crash! The stock market is at record highs and the dollar is at a 14 year high! So does this mean our economy has recovered? No, what we are seeing now is short-lived and once Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, this optimism will have disappeared. The only way out of our excessive debt problem is inflation. They will paper over these debts. QE4 is coming my friends so prepare yourself!

Rush Limbaugh has said a Trump victory is a repudiation of Big Government! Really!?

November 15, 2016 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MB

Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States. A guy who has never held public office will be serving in the most powerful position in the world. The world of politics today is crazy, to say the least and as some people are happy with this victory, others are crying their eyes out! What will 4 years of a Trump presidency bring us? I fear it will be a much bigger government and we will continue to add to our debt until the day of reckoning finally comes. The biggest conservativ...

Where the Economic Illiterates have led us…Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton!

November 08, 2016 08:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MB

Out of 330 million American our 2 choices for President came down to an alleged criminal or a crony capitalist! Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump want to grow the size of government. Our national debt is nearing $20 Trillion in debt and the next president will continue to spend like we don’t have a debt at all!  I think we got to this moment because the vast majority of citizens out there are economically illiterate!  Nobody understands what truly makes an economy grow and it surely isn’...

The top 1% pay a 27.1% effective tax rate, while the bottom 50% pay an effective tax rate of 3.3%. And Hillary Clinton says the “rich” don’t pay their fair share!

November 01, 2016 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34 MB

Hillary says the rich don’t pay their fair share and she wants to go where the money is! Where is most of the money at?  The majority of people are in the “middle class!” The dirty little secret is that Hillary will tax the middle class to get through her programs! The top 1% pay an effective tax rate of 27.1%, while the bottom 50% pay an effective tax rate of 3.3%!  The rich pay more than their fair share!  We are less than a week from Election Day and regardless of who wins the government ...

The Contra Cruise with Tom Woods and Bob Murphy! Also, how to get across the Libertarian message!

October 25, 2016 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

I recently got back from the Contra Cruise that was hosted by Tom Woods and Bob Murphy. The Contra Cruise was phenomenal and it was such a great group of libertarians to connect with. What came up often amongst the group was a question of messaging and converting people to libertarian ideas. What is the best way to do this? The last part of this episode, I have a few answers.

Interview with John Hunt on his new book, Speculator!

October 18, 2016 07:00 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MB

John Hunt talks about the new book he has co-authored with Doug Casey called Speculator. John talks about how it is living in Africa and he points out how they actually view money in a much different way, than we do in the United States. If you have money, it’s best to hide it and not tell anybody about it because they like to borrow it without any intention of paying it back! John also explains how Doug and him started on this project together and what’s to come in this incredible series! T...

Interview with Doug Casey on the coming Economic Collapse, investing in gold and his new book, “Speculator!”

October 11, 2016 07:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

Doug Casey talks about the economy and he sees the inevitable is now imminent! What’s coming in the economy won’t be just economic but it will also be social, political and military! Doug talks about how to invest in a gold mine and what to look for. He also gives advice to young people and why they should move to Africa as a way to increase their odds at being successful. This is a wide ranging interview and Doug provides so many insights from his experience as a successful speculator and a...

The First Presidential Debate and what really happened between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump!

October 04, 2016 07:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB

The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was not very impressive at all. Ok so Hillary did the best she possibly could during the debate, which isn’t really saying much. Then we have Donald Trump who missed opportunity after opportunity to throw egg in Hillary’s face and he didn’t do it!  Trump was on the defensive the entire time while Hillary stayed on offense. According to the average American voter out there these two clowns are the most competent to be the ...

The FED doesn’t raise interest rates and Steve Eiseman from “The Big Short” talks about another big short!

September 27, 2016 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

The FED didn’t raise interest rates in September and this comes as no surprise to any listener of this show. Raising interest rates right before a presidential election is extremely improbable and our economy is not as strong as the “experts” believe!  Steve Eiseman also has been in the news recently for his view on the economy. Steve Eiseman is the real life guy from the movie, “The Big Short.” This guy made million shorting subprime mortgages in 2007. He sees things will continue to slug a...

Mylan’s EpiPen is crony capitalism at work. Big Business and big government getting in bed together is not capitalism that is crony capitalism!

September 20, 2016 07:00 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB

The EpiPen story has been huge these past few weeks and this story actually shows us a lot of what’s wrong with the “system” today!  EpiPen now costs $300 for one syringe and when it first came out in in 1977 it cost $57!  How is it the cost of EpiPen has soared in price? This is the result of government intervention! The FDA has blocked out competition due to cronyism and the government playing to favored companies like Mylan!  Even the patent that Mylan has had on EpiPen is yet another rea...

The very confused Janet Yellen FED! To raise interest rates or to not raise interest rates, that is the question!

September 13, 2016 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Janet Yellen and the FED are giving a very confused message to the markets. Janet Yellen sounds like she wants to raise interest rates but she wants to wait for data to confirm it while other dovish FED governors want to raise interest rates in September. Anytime any of these FED governors speak, it’s what completely moves the market and causes a massive sell off on WallStreet and in the precious metals market. The market fears an end to easy money but increasing interest rates is what shoul...

James Grant on the Economy and Negative Interest Rates!

September 06, 2016 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MB

James Grant, in a recent interview, discusses what he sees going on in the U.S. economy. James makes the point that in 5,000 years of world history negative interest rates have never happened before!  This is how absurd negative interest rates are!  This is the end game before the entire global economy unfolds and leads to a massive collapse. Having all of your assets denominated in a fiat currency like the U.S. Dollar is a very risky move. James Grant is a legend and his views on the econom...

Janet Yellen at Jackson Hole: Negative interest rates and QE4 (money printing) are on the Table!

August 30, 2016 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MB

Janet Yellen’s recent comments at Jackson Hole on August 26th are really much of the same stuff.  There is a few things in Yellen’s speech that are quite revealing. Yellen suggested that QE4 (more money printing) is on the table and even negative interest rates!  Yes, Janet Yellen makes a comment saying rates you should have went negative in response to the housing crisis in 2008!  Negative interest rates seem to be the last resort effort by central banks to keep things under control.  This ...

Should we legalize insider trading? A closer look at the Martha Stewart and Phil Mickelson insider trading cases.

August 23, 2016 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MB

This question sounds crazy but, should we legalize insider trading?  As crazy as this may sound, legalizing insider trading is the right thing to do. Today, insider trading is considered a criminal act, why is this? It’s a victimless crime!  If you’re the CEO of some company and you leak out information against your contract or your fiduciary duty then that’s a civil case with the company you work for. If we want prices to reflect the most accurate and up to the minute information then we ne...

The Economy is not strong like the “Experts” out there have led us to believe!

August 16, 2016 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

The economy is not strong like the “experts” out there have led us to believe. Quarter 2 GDP came in at 1.2% when the Atlanta FED was predicting 2.4% GDP growth!  That’s a big miss!  And under Obama’s presidency we haven’t seen one year over 3% GDP growth and this is unprecedented in modern American history!  We have had interest rates near 0% for Obama’s entire presidency because this was supposed to stimulate the economy and it has done nothing of the sort!  Now countries around the world ...

Donald Trump explains what he’s doing now in his 1987 book, “The Art of the Deal!” Also, what Rush Limbaugh gets wrong!

August 09, 2016 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

Donald Trump literally lays out what he’s doing now in his presidential campaign from his 1987 book, “The Art of the Deal.” Trump says you need to be a little outrageous, controversial and talk big!  Yes, Trump says play to people’s fantasies because most people don’t think big themselves, but they love to rally around someone who does!  Can you say, build a big, beautiful wall?!  The most fascinating quotes from Trump’s book are read in this episode.
