On this episode of The Open Mind, we welcome Ohio Governor and former 2016 Republican presidential candidate John Kasich, a longtime congressman, chairman of the Budget Committee and member of the Armed Services Committee. Kasich was the chief architect of the 1990s deficit-ending deal that ushered into the new millennium, a clean fiscal bill of health for the nation. 

Today of course, Kasich is better known as the two term Governor of Ohio, who's presided over recovery from the great recession, a critic of Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric, nativism, protectionism, and personal conduct unbecoming a president of the United States that have debased the highest office in the land.
