David is joined by the GOP candidate who had the most money spent against him in a House race in history -- by DOUBLE -- Scott Baugh of CD-47. As Scott prepares for a 2024 campaign to win the seat he is called to, David and Scott walk through the economic challenges facing us right now, discuss what a reform-minded conservative looks like these days, consider how to think about legislation in an economic crisis, talk about first principles, and, oh yeah . . . take a look at the Fed!

David is joined by Stephanie Slade of Reason Magazine to talk through the wonders of fusionism and why the "new right" skips over the best remedy available for that which ails us.

David walks through our nation’s glorious founding documents and gives listeners crucial takeaways as to how America’s first principles connect to economics. The free and virtuous society requires some key commitments, and they were put into a document in 1776!

David is joined this week once again by Dr. Alexander Salter for a comprehensive talk on the economy, current policy problems causing significant harm, the dangers of cronyism, and most importantly: the subject of distributism. They unpack the good and bad of valuing more widespread ownership of private property and seek to work within first principles in understanding how one’s opinions on these things ought to work. You won’t be disappointed!

David is joined this week by Kevin Williamson for a long riff about the new Right; why liberty and virtue are not at odds; why many people who claim they are anti-market are really quite pro-market (personally); and what the Fed, the WTO, the sexual revolution, and so many other things all have to do with the current moment. It is one of those episodes you will not want to miss, and one in which David had more fun recording it than he is supposed to.

David sits down with Tim Busch, founder of Pacific Hospitality Group, a leading hotelier and key advocate in the fight for a free and virtuous society. The two discuss the state of inflation, the reality of Fed policy on the hospitality industry, and what we can learn about the silliness of the LA Dodgers. This is a discussion you will not want to miss!

David is joined this week for part two of our Adam Smith celebration by National Review’s own Dominic Pino. They continue the dialogue David started last week with Mark Skousen, really unpacking our modern understanding of and appreciation for Adam Smith. Once again, moral philosophy and classical economics are shown as going hand in hand, not pitted one against the other, and the result is what Smith himself produced: a legacy of freedom and virtue.

David is joined this week by Mark Skousen, economist extraordinaire and fellow Adam Smith disciple. The two of them unpack Adam Smith on the 300th birthday celebration of the great moral philosopher and defend his legacy as the father of classical economics.

David is joined by Jeremy Tedesco of Alliance Defending Freedom’s Viewpoint Diversity Initiative. They talk about David’s recent battle with JP Morgan to do the right thing. Included is David’s speech from the JP Morgan Chase shareholder’s meeting, and you'll also hear his and Jeremy's plans to engage with corporate America toward the protection of a free society.

David welcomes back (for the third time) economist extraordinaire Louis Gave of Gavekal Research for an episode where they geek out for an hour about the U.S. dollar, the bond market, global economic reality, and so much more.
