In this episode we will tune in to a  Ross Perot Rally in Missouri. It will give you a chance to hear the upstart billionaire as he leads his revolutionary campaign through the heartland of America. 

"Hi, I'm Ross and you're the Boss" became his tag line and he hit it over and over again, telling the enthusiastic crowds that they finally had a candidate that understood that the candidate had to answer to them. In doing so he hit a nerve with the electorate and led to generation, or more, of political figures, no matter how entrenched, claiming that they too knew that the public was the boss. 

His campaign and its themes also draw a striking resemblance to another billionaire who will take up the mantle of maverick campaigner and revolutionary leader.  A man named Donald Trump. Trump would grab more than one theme , and from more than one candidate, in this era, and this particular campaign year that he would use in his own campaigns in three runs for the Presidency in 2016, 2020, and again last year n 2024. 

Here is the original billionaire turned Presidential candidate and consummate outsider at his very best on the campaign trail in 1992. Here is H. Ross Perot.
