On today's episode, I'm joined by Jon Miltimore from FEE to talk about why modern monetary theory loses to basic economics every time.

We go over the basics of MMT—its ideas of fiat currency, how it's different from other forms of money, and why it's so popular with politicians who have no idea what they're talking about.

We also discuss how these ideas have been used to justify policies in for thousands of years—which hurt working people and make things worse for our economy long-term.

Finally, we'll cover how the MMTers' theory has been disproved in practice and how we can use basic economic principles to understand the problems with their theory.

In our discussion, we'll look at:

-Why MMT is considered neo-Keynesianism

-How an understanding of money and banking are essential to understanding modern monetary theory

-The role of inflation in MMT and its effects on real wages

-Why inflation doesn't help workers in a recession

-How monetary policy affects unemployment

On today's episode, I'm joined by Kenny Cody to talk about why Republicans need to start playing offense versus constantly playing defense to Democratic narratives.

We discuss how Democrats have found success in the past by telling voters they're the party that cares about people, while Republicans are just the party of the rich. And we talk about how this strategy has helped them win over some of our own voters—which means if you're a Republican and want to win elections, you need to start talking about issues that resonate with more than just your base.

We'll also discuss some examples of how framing works in practice, and what Republicans can do differently this time around!

On today's episode, I'm joined by Chris Russomanno, Libertarian candidate for Congress in New Jersey. He's going to tell us why it's time to end the wars, fix our money, and restore our civil rights.

We'll be discussing how the United States is currently involved in an endless war on terror funded by The Fed's endless printing of money that has cost us trillions of dollars while also infringing on our civil rights through mass surveillance, indefinite detention without trial, torture, and assassination by drone strikes.

Chris is a passionate advocate for ending the wars that have become a core part of our political system. He wants to fix our money system so we can finally get rid of the debt that has been strangling us for decades. And he believes that restoring civil rights will help us restore our country to its former glory.

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Spike Cohen to discuss how we can do a much better job of speaking to the issues that matter to people if we simply ask them.

Listen where we discuss how we can do a much better job of speaking to the issues that matter to people by simply asking them.

No matter what your political persuasion is or what your beliefs are on any particular issue, it's important to remember that if you're trying to persuade someone who doesn't agree with you, it's not enough just to tell them what they should be thinking—you have to meet them where they are, and ask them what they care about.

On today's episode, Rodgir and I discuss the danger of "do something" politics and how this type of thinking can lead to bad policy and harm innocent people. We also discuss why it's important for citizens to be informed on issues so that they can make informed decisions.

I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did!

On today's episode I'm joined by Carla Gericke from the Free State Project to discuss the importance of setting your own narratives versus responding to the narratives set by others.

Whether it's the media, a friend, or even a complete stranger, we are constantly bombarded with narratives about how things work. But what if we were in charge of setting our own narratives? What if you could control how you're perceived and what people think about you?

That's exactly what Carla has done with her life-long mission to create a libertarian community in New Hampshire that is completely independent from any government control.

In today's episode, I'm walking through 4 speeches/ads from 4 past presidents and outlining why they worked and what we can learn from them.

I want to start by saying that when you're trying to sell something, there's a lot of different ways you could go about it: You could be like Ronald Reagan's 1984 "Morning in America" ad that was so effective at selling America on Reagan's vision that it helped him win reelection in an absolute landslide. You could be like Bill Clinton in 1992 and appeal to their sense of patriotism and vision. Or you could be like Barack Obama in 2008 and use a personal narrative to draw people in and a sense of a unifying message. Or one like Donald Trump in 2016 who helped draw contrast to the pain the customer already knows versus a better future. (And if you want to see all four of these things done well, check out my video "4 EFFECTIVE Sales Pitches From 4 Former Presidents.")

But the thing that makes these speeches/ads so effective isn't just their delivery—it's also the way they frame their messages in terms of deeper themes or values that resonate with people across demographics.
