Economic War Room

Driving fiscally sound public policy by partnering with key stakeholders and educating Americans on the role of responsible financial management in a free market economy is the mission of Derek Kreifels. His group works to hold elected state officials accountable to the people they represent. One of the first things his team of treasurers and auditors stood up against was this weaponization of the IRS and a proposal at the United States Treasury Department called the "Green Book," which is a book of ideas that the department wanted to potentially implement by having Congress pass laws. One of them was this idea of snooping on individual Americans' bank accounts to the tune of $600 in or out, whether they were deposits or payments. Kevin Freeman discusses this and more with Derek Kreifels.

The internet is dominated by essentially two monopolies and the ability to control 3.5 billion people. Dr. Robert Epstein joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the serious threat Big Tech monopolies such as Google are to our economic liberty. Dr. Epstein explains a rigorous scientific study that is exposing the bias in research he is conducting called SEME (Search Engine Manipulation Effect) and how it easily shifts the actions of millions. The technological elites are now in control, and that is terrible for individual liberty and economic prosperity.

Mark Robinson went from receiving welfare to being lieutenant governor of North Carolina. In fact, Mark Robinson is the first black lieutenant governor in North Carolina's history. Mark is a passionate person of faith and is bold about his convictions. He took those convictions to his local city council and made a speech that quickly went viral and set an entirely new course for his life. He believes it's time for law-abiding American citizens to stand up and say, "Hey, we're the ones that make this engine go around. We're the rightful masters of this place and our destiny." It's time for them to take their places in the political arena.

The economy is probably worse than it feels right now, because we've had what John Mauldin calls a "weird recession." Kevin Freeman and John Mauldin talk about a wide range of topics that focus on the state of our current economy and what investors should be paying attention to. John points out that we do have relatively low unemployment by historical standards, but it's partially because of the way we measure it. And then what we have is regional area location unemployment. We have businesses that are looking for skills. We have restaurants looking for workers, but they are not getting paid enough to drive to work because it's now costing too much to get there.

The ESG push from woke Wall Street is being orchestrated by groups who do not have America's best interests in mind. Hal Lambert joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about the real threats of ESG. It is no accident that China is a significant beneficiary of ESG from the green energy push, yet the country is the worst ESG offender. Hal also talks about an investable solution that will help people weaponize their investing to support American values and liberty.

The first Democrat president, Andrew Jackson, displaced hundreds of thousands of native Americans with his Indian Removal Act. The native Americans called it the "Trail of Tears." Joe Biden and the same Democrat Party have put Trump supporters on notice that they could be removed as well. It used to be "kill the Indian and keep the man." Not any more. This ideological trail is "kill the American and keep the communist." Kevin Freeman, who is of Cherokee descent, explains that this is all according to plans to displace the Constitution and transform America. 

From the very beginning, the Founding Fathers knew that intellectual property rights were the key to success. They enshrined property rights in the Constitution. But now, our government and the administrative state have significantly weakened the U.S. patent system. This is mostly benefitting Big Tech and giant corporations. Small businesses and innovators are getting their patents thrown out nearly 82% of the time. Randy Landreneau joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about this domestic economic weapon and what can be done to stop it. If this is not stopped, the world's greatest creative and innovative system will be crushed.
