Free Capitalist Radio, with Rick Koerber

Host: Rick Koerber

If we are deceived about principles, we cannot progress because we don’t know what we don’t know.  If you don’t “wake up and you don’t have the facts, you don’t have an argument.”

Other topics: Iraq War Debate and whether or not Pres. Bush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction data; Pres. Clinton’s “Iraq Liberation Act.”  Liberal socialist victim caller “Aaron” hostly asks Rick why he’s “going down memory lane” and why facts are important in the debate over the Iraq war.  Aaron won’t engage in a rational conversation, revealing himself as a non-thinking emotional voice of accusation.  Later, “Claud” another caller, demonstrates the opposite of thinking and rational debate – instead offering highly emotional, disconnected and sensational comments.  Rick illustrates how this kind of thinking is not just limited to politics, but that how a person thinks permeates all aspects of his or her life.

“Your ideas determine where you are in life.”

Host: Rick Koerber with Guest Les McGuire

“Prosperity is up to me.” In this episode Les McGuire joined Free Capitalist Radio for the first time. Rick and Les discussed the basic of “what capitalism is” and how that reality can help individual men and women prosper. Rick and Les also discuss the comparison of socialism and capitalism.

Insightful and prophetic, a decade before our time today, Rick and Les reveal the terrible and devastating consequences of those who accept socialism and who fail to understand the morality and power of capitalism. Les explains that socialisms don’t want to take responsibility for themselves or for their own country. And, the conversation also exposes the false comparison of democrats versus republicans, but instead the more useful comparison is socialist versus capitalist.

Other topics include personal prosperity, individual economics, how to find success, getting honest about your own self interest, victimhood versus success and being ready “for something to actually change” in your life. “The first thing” needed to reach personal prosperity is taking “responsibility for yourself.” Call Peter says “I’ve never had sight” so how does this “apply to me.” Capitalism is a “dirty word” when you mistakenly believe it is a “win – lose” philosophy, but that is a mistake and a mistaken notion. Capitalism is about liberty, voluntary actions and value creation.

On October 31, 2005 Rick launched Free Capitalist Radio from AM 630 KKTK in Salt Lake City Utah. This is the only known recording of the show (and even this recording is a partial or incomplete record of the episode) where Rick introduces the concept of viewing world events and personal growth from the perspective of capitalism and freedom rather than the classic talk radio liberal vs. conservative.

In this episode Rick is a bit sick and his voice is a bit strained. The recording picks up mid point through the first segment where Rick asks listeners about their commitment to learning about freedom including references to Ayn Rand, W. Cleon Skousen, and the 5,000 Year Leap.

Other topics include Harriet Myers, Judge Alito, Supreme Court confirmation process, US Senate originally elected by the state legislatures. Rick also discusses the definition of capitalism and socialism.

Rick tackles the false notion that we can advocate for liberty and make true progress in the United States, or beyond – by focusing only on politics.  Instead, as Rick outlines, we must advance liberty by restoring home and family.

 

Rick address the question of whether or not the liberty movement is failing because it has not made any significant strategic success in halting the ever increasing role of federal, state and local governments in the lives of citizens and families.
