The DOJ IG finally released his report on his investigation into the Trump-Russia conspiracy. And predictably, everyone on all sides is taking a victory lap. None of them actually care about you.

Meanwhile, trucking giant Celadon will declare bankruptcy. When they do, they will strand 3,200 drivers on the road. 2019 has been a terrible year in the trucking industry. That was also entirely predictable.

Finally, Michelle Obama is defending her friendship with President George W. Bush. She claims we should focus on humanity rather than partisan differences. That's convenient for her to say.

If you are waiting around for someone wealthy and powerful to save you and escort you into a better world, you will be disappointed. Lots of people will promise the moon to you. But nobody is going to save you.

Your wealth will determine your power and influence. And your power and influence will determine your freedom. It's up to you to make the most of it.

The Democratic field has some messaging problems and that includes Mayor Bloomberg who just entered the race. 

You would think they would have hired better PR people who understood the basics of influence and persuasion.  The good news is, you'll understand it after today's show.

Because we're entering the holiday season, I asked you guys on Monday to send us an email & tell us about all the great things that happened to you in 2019.

My reasons were twofold:

1) We live in a world where fear & negativity constantly surround us, so I believe we need to hear about all the GOOD things that are happening in people's lives

2) Gratitude is one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and we meaningfully improve the world around us when we take the time to write down the things we're grateful for and then share them with someone else

Well, the response from you guys was overwhelming. Your stories blew away our entire team. On today's show, I only had time to read a fraction of them.

But I dare you not to cry. And above all, I challenge you to be inspired to take action in your own life.
