A Conversation With Amity Shlaes, Author of "Coolidge"
"Off, let's start with, if we can, the coolest book and bring us up today, because I do want to have a just position of where you're riding because I believe the Coolidge biography and what was going on in the 20s and then the forgotten man. And then on into what we're seeing today have a lot of similarities. And I think there's a lot of things we could learn. So going back and I heard you in other interviews call the coolies but the prequel to the forgotten man. Why would you say, why would you call it that? Well, just first of all, Doug chronologically, because it's about the 20s, a president who served in the 20s, but it's a prequel and of course the forgotten man is about the 1930s. So you, but I wrote the forgotten men first. So I went back in time as an author as I'm now doing looking at the period before World War I and the Gilded Age. Went backwards in time. But another reason Coolidge is the prequel to the forgotten man is that I realized I need to write Coolidge when I wrote the forgotten man because when you encounter the 30s, you learn about all the things the government can do wrong, even a very well meaning government, even in a disaster. And then you say, well, they broke it. And then you ask, what is it that they broke? What was right and what was government's role in that. And so I had to figure out what they broke. And that was the twenty's economy, which was a fine economy, and Coolidge enabled that economy, facilitated it, understood it. And so I went backwards to Calvin Coolidge.

Richard Engel Omits President Trump's Visit to Afghanistan
"Soon as the question was thrown to this guy, I thought, ain't no way Richard Engel is going to give any credit whatsoever to Donald Trump as you're about to hear. I was right. This trip is aimed at boosting the confidence of the Ukrainian people, giving support to the Ukrainian government, but it is also clearly a message to Vladimir Putin. If Vladimir Putin had his way, he would have been in Kyiv today. He would have been celebrating his victory, taking over this country, incorporating it into Russia. Instead, Ukraine still stands, keep is still free. It is still controlled by the government, and we had President Biden there saying that the United States will continue to support Ukraine's democratic government for as long as it takes. Multiple messages today. Can you put this in perspective? How different is Biden's visit than other presidential trips to war zones? Very different. I've seen quite a few of these over the years, president Bush going to arrest. He goes right to president Bush visits Iraq. Now, why would you go to president Bush go back a few cycles? Instead of mentioning right off the bat, 45, the immediate predecessor to grandpa Joe because that's how they are. They really want to erase Donald Trump's presidency. And heaven forbid he comes back, right? As far as they're concerned, yeah, I mean, he just visited troops in Afghanistan. Remember, Thanksgiving in 2019. That would be the example you'd give. No, no, no, no. Richard Engel, a president Bush comes to mind. Yes, yes, yes. What about FDR? Calvin Coolidge made some trips. How about that?

"Consistency and discipline. That's why you need if you want to win in life, period. All right, I've got so much stuff written down here in bro, the listener needed to hear all this stuff. Like a podcaster had to hear everything that you just shared. I'm hearing that consistency is really important. You mentioned that more than once. It really comes down to consistency, the key is consistency. And it was the first thing you mentioned when I asked you, how did you get past 6, 7, 8 episodes, and even a hundred, 112 episodes, what made you be able to do that? And it's like, well, consistency. But then you said the second thing is you're determined to become above average. And I think the real word that we're hearing there is it's determination. I've got a I've got a tattoo and it basically came from a, I'm trying to remember the guy's name. I can't think of his oh, Calvin Coolidge. It's basically about persistence in determination. Give you endless potential omnipotence. And so I'm hearing you say, it's that determination. It's that persistence. It's like that ruthless, unrelenting, you will not quit your determined to do this. And I think that the listener needs to hear that you mentioned there's no get rich quick. That's all fake. There's no secret. The success doesn't happen overnight. Your mentors, they didn't just get successful, like after one day, they're not millionaires because they launched a podcast yesterday. It takes time. The other thing that you mentioned and I don't want the listener to miss it is you kept saying, I'm grateful. You kept saying I'm grateful. I'm grateful for this. And that gratitude is something that I think all of us could learn from you is to express the gratitude to feel the gratitude that helps us to be able to keep going forward. I still really want to get to your, what was that part that I was going to get oh, the rebranding. We need to get to that. I'm hearing you basically, you've got a strong mindset. You're focused on mindset and that is helping you get there. One quick question before we go into the rebranding is you mentioned, I like to hear my mentors say it was 15 years. It was a 15 year overnight success. For example. And all I want to ask you is if their listener is hearing that you had a mentor, should they take that as a mentor would be good for them as well? A 100%. A 100% man, I think that's another misconception a lot of people have like, oh, why going to put money into this mastermind or a mentor? Man, I have spent maybe a couple 6 figures in mentors. I've put money into a mentor. The right mentor, by the way, I double my money. Because the purpose of a mentor is to help you

"We have 61 of the world's greatest teachers and everything from building a business to leadership to meditation to developing a monk like brain to speed reading that's Jim quick. So many of these teachers you've had on the show to parenting, doctor shefali, to self esteem, Marissa Pierre, and all of this education is customized for you. We're building an education that's customized to your vision of who you want to be. Not some official curriculum. But we're going to go further. The next thing we're going to do is we're building a private social network so we can now connect you to the right people, wherever in the world you're traveling to, you show up in Berlin, we'll be able to say, okay, Tom, these are 5 people you need to meet in Berlin because these people can help you with your vision. They're pretty figured out some aspects of this vision. All these are people that you can help. And the third thing that we're going to do is supplementation. Because the food we take today isn't healthy enough. So we're developing, we're working with some incredible scientists to develop supplement lines that can put you in the right state to move towards your vision. Whether it is health and wellness, brain optimization, or maybe focus, maybe creativity, maybe put you in a more loving state so your dates and your relationships are juicier. So these three things are really important. And this is what we are working on. Now, we are we are fairly complete with the first part, which is the education, the social network, the supplements, all of that is coming in the next two years. What are the 12 areas that you have broken this down into? So we won't have time to go to all of the Arabic. I'll give you a couple. School tells you pretty much prepares you for your career. It's designed to get you a job. I believe in the 1920s there's a legend. We don't know if it's true that Calvin Coolidge said that set this. The purpose of education is to create cogs in the wheels of industry. And that's a pretty lousy way to define education, right? So we look at this. We look at areas such as your physical body, your intellectual capacity, how fast are you learning how fast are you growing, your emotional states, what are

"If you can't afford it and that's the only way to do it, cool. But for most people, it's just a couple of dollars. It's just a few bucks. And in many cases it can help us stay in our lane. You can be the star of your show. You can figure out the content. You can have do the fun part when you offload everything else. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think if you have said in early days of a business or you just maybe switch direction or anything like that, you are far better off being a guest for a while and hopefully driving some traffic to your website and maybe when you're ready with a show or if you have a book and you can start driving people to that too. That's going to prepare you for what's coming up as well. I'm probably far more useful to you. But I think when you are more established, having a show is fantastic and probably something that most service business owners should think about having because of what it can really do for you. But not if it's going to be taking too much time and energy away from the stuff that actually gets the gears of the business running. You know, I was in junior high many years ago and I played the tuba in band. And my band teacher, not because I played the tuba. That's irrelevant. I just pointed that out because it was bigger than me and I felt awesome. Our band teacher used to give us quotes to memorize. So I don't know. I think it was like practically every month. We would have a different quote. So 8 or 9 months, we would memorize like 8 or 9 quotes totally. We would recite it a couple times a week and in class. And many of those, many, many, many of those quotes had something to do with persistence and determination, like not quitting. One in particular, a Calvin Coolidge versus determination, our omnipotent, and they have endless potential.

"Adam, say what's up to fire nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most people disagree with? What's up fire nation? One thing that people are doing out there is they're chasing shiny objects. They think this is the next big thing. This is where the world is headed. This is what I want to do. And what I usually see them do is try it for a few weeks or try it for a few months and before they strike gold when they're still three feet from gold, they pivot and they try the next big thing. And they continue to blame it on the thing, not being as effective as that they were told what I think is the better way to do is go into it with persistence and determination. There's a quote by Calvin Coolidge about persistence and determination being the things that'll make you successful. More than talent, more than brain power, more than anything else. If you are persistent and determined, you will get that success, you will strike the gold and I think people forget about that. Fire nation, you might be scratching your heads over the title of this episode. Try this marketing strategy. That's the title. And it's quite a cliffhanger. So I want to get right into it, Adam. What is this marketing strategy? And what makes it so effective? So the marketing strategy is private messaging. It's going on different social media platforms, specifically we use meetup dot com a lot, Facebook and LinkedIn, but the strategy is all around reaching out to people individually, but on a level that's more connection. More like courting if you were going to ask somebody to marry you. You'd want to get to know them first. And this is the get to know you part over private message. And we found it being very, very successful in multiple different ways. Give us some specific examples of how this marketing strategy has been so effective. How have you used it? What templates do you use? What kind of follow-up? Let's get detail, brother. Absolutely. There's been a lot of different types of ways to using it. For example, when I was hosting my own conferences in the real estate investing space, we used this strategy to reach out to people and connect with them. And we ended up feeling rooms larger than a lot of the people that had been around longer than we had. And I feel like the most effective part is the private message campaigns. It's also helped with growing our podcast. We're ranking in the top .5% and additionally, it's like a hundred and something. Usually in the U.S. for marketing, which is kind of cool. But the way that we've been doing it is using we call it a 5 three 5 method, the first 5 might be less important for the average listener because the first 5 are specific about podcasting. My company grow your show does this to help people get a larger audience. The first 5 are just getting people. What you do with the things. So whoever's listening, you're going to figure out what are your first 5. What are your first three? But our 5 three 5 method has the three being the three platforms that you go to. Facebook LinkedIn and meet up are really good because you can narrow down the exact person that you want.
Wealthy Behavior

"No, I will say so after that first bank of the United States is uncharted. They do get a second bank chartered. And then that's the one that Jackson ends up not renewing, taking the deposits from before it ends and putting it into the state banks. I think Jackson has a bit of a reputation as clumsy and this might not be the most thoughtful thing. And I think that while that probably is right at the end of the day, you do want a national bank. We do want the Federal Reserve system. I hope that's not too controversial. But I do think at that period of time, things were a little bit different. So when you think about the Federal Reserve system that we had today, it really doesn't give loans to individuals. It doesn't give loans and choose to give money to operating businesses. And those early banks of the United States actually controlled where the credit of the nation was given. So you did have a situation where the bank had a lot of power in terms of who was able to control capital. And I think a lot of what Jackson did ended up broadening our democracy and spreading out where capital was given. So I'll at least give them a list give them some sort of partial credit that it wasn't just a dumb guy who didn't like any debt, but saw some problems with the way the institution was structured early on. And took things down to be a little bit more again, broad based. You could call it a little more democratic. Yeah, and a couple of things on that, I think if you don't want to go through this journey of reading a biography on each president, which I couldn't even tell you now, whether I recommend doing it or not, because I think we both independently decided to do this years and years ago and just coincidentally ended up finishing around the same time. Andrew Jackson's biography. Oh, so good. American Lion by John meacham. It's definitely one you should read regardless if you have any interest and then I think you and I were both pleasantly surprised that we enjoyed the Calvin Coolidge biography that we read. And I bring it up because Coolidge is the last president who oversaw an actual drop in the dollar amount of the national debt. And last, World War II took care of that, but he was the last. So those are a couple of books if you're not interested in kind of going through the whole presidential list. And so jumping over to kind of sources of revenue, tariffs, taxes, things of that nature.

"Okay. One of the commentators of the many, many commentators that I read in order to clarify my own thinking and often learn from them. Made a very powerful point. The sin of the spies was not simply that they came back with a report that God's promise is useless. We can't get in there. It's a pretty bad thing. Worse, he said, there is one sin that God really does not tolerate. Despair. And they spread despair. So I want to devote the happiness hour to combating despair in you when you see what is happening in America and generally in the west. It is easy to despair and the people who are wrecking the greatest civilization ever made. Want you to despair. So I want to speak of an anti despair attitude that you should take. For your own happiness and in order to prevail in the battle of our lifetime. The battle to preserve liberty. And happiness and joy and the western world and America. It's a big battle to the biggest battle of your lifetime. Bigger than any hot war that we have fought is this internal war. So it's easy to despair. When Disneyland won't say boys and girls anymore, you realize the battle is really serious. And I feel it. I feel it just like you do. I combat despair. Because it is a sin to despair. Minds me of the old joke told about Calvin Coolidge who was not a man of many words. After going to church one Sunday, his wife or friend who did not go to church that day said, wanted the pass through speak on, and he said, sin. What did he say? He's against it. So. In keeping with that, if you're against sin, you must be against despair. Therefore, more than ever, you have a moral duty to pursue happiness. Until the recent past, I still believe there's a moral obligation to act happy, even if you don't feel it, to pursue happiness, happy people don't destroy happy people, build, happy people bring happiness to other people, think about a miserable child you have. And the wrecking of family happiness that has occurred as a result. I, of course, believe that you should not have your happiness be held hostage by your most miserable child. I am adamant about that. The natural tendency is to be no happier than your least happy child. I believe that you have to fight the natural tendency in that regard. Dedicated fair amount of time to that proposition, and will certainly do so again. But whatever it is, you know, the wrecking that these people can do. Well, you will become a wrecking ball if you despair. It will wreck your happiness and will erect the happiness of people around you. So how do you not despair? You might have some thoughts on that, by the way. One 8 prager 7 7 6, I do. That's the theme of today's happiness hour. It is forbidden from the proposition of the pursuit of happiness, and even from the standpoint of, if you are religious, what God wants from you. And that is not to despair. We resume..

"As I follow the hearings with katangi Brown Jackson, it's got to be thinking about her philosophy that the constitution is something that is in a constant process of change. So this is the and I've discussed this before in the podcast, the idea of the living constitution. I came across a very eloquent refutation of this idea. That was given by Calvin Coolidge almost well, almost a century ago. And I just wanted to read it because it's so beautifully states why the constitution and the founding itself are not in some sense living, but are dead in the sense that they reflect enduring principles that have been put down on paper and put down on paper for a reason. So here we go. It's often asserted that the world has made great progress in 1776, and that we have new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day. And we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. So see how cool age appears so prescient here in talking about things that people are talking about now. And then says Coolidge, but that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that's final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that's final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that's final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions if anyone wishes to deny to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality. No rights of the individual. No rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress, they are reactionary, their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient than those of the revolutionary

"So attenuated today that it's no longer really a basis of unity. Instead tends to be a way of of telling some americans that they don't really belong that they're not really american. Absolutely you know one of the documents that i'm particularly fascinated by that'd be very interested in your thoughts on it and it's been elected in the past century. Various reasons is washington's farewell address and one way to think about that. It's of course his political testament and he had historical antecedents to that. He doubtless look to as did hamilton. But it seems to be not only an operating guide for the new government that they viewed as very fragile or precarious. Probably more accurate word. but also it wasn't attempt to tell future statesmen and to set an example for how to set a national identity. What is your thought that. Well i think we can always learn from washington and one of the things that's useful about. Washington is to observe him as he's trying to navigate a course in effect between hamilton and jefferson with hamilton representing a more comprehensive and cohesive understanding of what the american public should be an of the american nation and jefferson appealing. Famously to these more individualistic and volunteer ist Volunteerism themes and washington sitting with the two of them virtually at his side right at at his left and and his right is trying to see the way between the excesses of each the excessive each position. And i think the farewell address is only one of the places where he does that. It is drafted by hamilton and has certain hamilton a good staff worker and he knew how to write for his principal not just to express his own opinions. And as you know well it was written over the course of years. He took these kinds of statements very seriously. And i don't think we should confuse that situation with today where politicians routinely have other people draft their thoughts to a massive extent to the extent that which they're almost disconnected. Like when you look at a translated film and you see a disconnect between the lips and what you're hearing which. I sent a lot with the dice politicians washington. That was not his era. No they say that. Calvin coolidge was the last president who really was the primary author of all or most of his speeches and coolidge himself. Has some interesting things to say about this. That i think have been forgotten partly because he has the reputation as a silent cal as a president who didn't say much. He did say some things and his account of american national identity which is in the idiom of of the nineteen twenties also an attempt to steer a middle course nationalists and what we today call liberal cosmopolitans. There's a lot to be learned from that as well now..

There was no fence around the white house. Walk right up to the door. Knock on the door. They'd send fruit baskets to the president. They would have to test the fruit. Because most of the time they'd send. It was poisoned chris. Like abraham lincoln. Like if you said who's the greatest president of all time. Most people can say.

You don't think coolidge had a presidency. That was not in control. I like calvin coolidge. I liked calvin coolidge as a president. You know the man in terms of his time. But i don't know i don't have to go back and study that i do like a theory but i'm just saying in the last sixty years like to me. Okay and the reason. I go back. Sixty years is because prior to nineteen sixty. There was no real media coverage right you like. That's why nixon lost the debate right. Because he was on tv and he was sweating. He looked nervous. It wasn't a good look for him but prior to that. You didn't have the television debates you didn't you. Didn't have the the media extremes. You really didn't have the invasive media until the vietnam war and that's when you saw like firsthand the carnage of war. It was brought into your living room. So that's kind of when we got into the shock of media and if it bleeds it leads and so now. I go back to that point because because i think the media and the media's portrayal of quote leadership.

"Blood of his father to tear the character of his own and his children's liberty reverence for the laws be briefed by every american mother to the being babe pretzels on her lap. Let it be taught in schools and seminaries and colleges let it be written in primers in spelling books in almanacs let it be preached from the pulpit proclaimed in the legislative halls and enforced in the courts of justice and quote conclusion on the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence president calvin coolidge raised and mortal banner. In his time. It is often asserted. He said that the world has made a great deal of progress in seventeen seventy six and therefore we may very well discard their conclusions for something more modern but that reasoning cannot be applied to this great charter if all men are created equal that's final if they're endowed with inalienable rights. That is final. If government's drive their just powers from the consent of the governed that is final. No advance progress can be made beyond these propositions and quote. America's founding principles are true not because generation including our own has lived up to them perfectly but because they are based upon the eternal truths of the human condition they are rooted in our capacity for evil and power for good are longing for truth and striving for justice our need for order and our love of freedom above all else. These principles recognize the worth equality. Potential dignity and glory of and every man woman and child created in the image of god throughout our history. Our heroes men and women young and old black and white of many faiths and from all parts of the world have changed america for the better not by abandoning these truths but by appealing to them. Upon these universal ideas they built a great nation unified a strong people and formed a beautiful way of life. That's worth defending to be an american main something noble in good means treasuring. Freedom embracing the vitality self-government. We are shaped by the beauty bounty in wilderness of our continent. Aaron united by the glory of our history we are distinguished by the american virtues of openness honesty optimism determination generosity confidence kindness. Hard work courage. Hope that's who we are. Our principles did not create these virtues but they laid the groundwork for them to grow in spread and forge america into the most just glorious country in all of human history now as we approached the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our independence. We must resolve to teach future generations of americans and accurate history of our country so that we all learn and cherish our founding principles once again. We must renew the pride and gratitude. We have for this incredible nation. We're all blessed to call home when we appreciate america for what she truly is. We know that our declaration worth preserving our constitution worth defending our fellow citizens worth loving and our country worth fighting for. It is our task now to renew this commitment so we proclaim the words of our forefathers us two and a half centuries ago for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence. We mutually pledge to each other our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor..

The Power of Deep Listening
"Welcome again friends. It really is good to be together. And i thought i'd start by just naming a compelling question that so many people i know around the globe are reflecting on right now and that is what will bridge the divides and i know you know what i mean. What will bridge the divides knew what will help us. Humans of all beyond our separate cocooned realities that end up creating so much distrust and fear and violence in this talk. What i'd like to do is focus on one key way. Each of us can contribute to evolve in consciousness to volving our own consciousness in our species consciousness. And that's cultivating cassidy for deep listening. I mean just imagine if people from different political parties and groups and nations in conflict actually did a little bit of training and practice so that they could little bit more. Listen to each other to get some sense of being able to look through another. Is henry david. Thoreau described as the greatest miracle possible relate to look through each other's is it is possible though we have this built in capacity to listen and we can cultivate listening and of course it is difficult so for starters. I thought i'd give you a couple of examples of the kinds of challenges we face the first cartoon That i'll tell you about a couple sitting together watching tv. And she saying to him. You know you only hear the things you wanna hear and he responds a beer. Sounds lovely thank you. Second cartoon job interview the employers asking mister jefferson. Where do you see yourself five years from now response. I'd say my biggest weakness is my listening skills. I know you get the idea. It's kind of like. I think calvin coolidge said it best that no one is ever listened themselves out of job so by extension. We don't listen ourselves out of relationships. This theme I'm imagining many of you. It's not only something you're aware of. It's something you're consciously working on. I know for myself. It's a life process and it's so interesting that now and then i get more conscious of. Oh this is really really important. this matters. and then i- rededicate. It's really energizing to rededicate. I love that so if you feel like this is the right time for you to deep in your commitment to how you listen right close in with the people right around you. It creates a group energy to do that together and it helps our world so a key. Understanding is that the capacity to listen is not just another skill on the checklist of it. You know it's really a dimension of presents being able to listen is a dimension of presence. it's a intrinsic facet of evolving consciousness and it impacts all dimensions of living and you might just consider inner listening you know. How are we going to be intimate with their own being. How are we gonna tuned to the state of our hard and acknowledge when there's loneliness s or when there's fear or longings so inner listening is how we become more at home with ourselves then of course listening to each other. There's no way to have real intimacy connection and understanding unless weaken listen and then in our contemporary society. I really do believe that trainings to listen. Ringing people from conflicting sides together to practice listening will give a gateway for more collaboration. Were understanding then. Of course terms of we want to call it the spiritual path. It's those moments where we stop all doings and we become profoundly septa quiet open. It's at listening presence. That really those are the moments that we touch and taste the mystery that we receive beauty that we start to perceive intuit. That formless timeless awareness. It's really home. So it really gives us a sense of the sacred some naming the different levels and we'll be exploring primarily. How do we listen. More deeply with those were engaged with whoever you spend time talking with the most and maybe we'll just pause here for a moment of do several reflections through our time this first reflection and when we do them if it helps you to close your eyes please do. It always helps me just to take a moment and bring to mind someone you know who is a really good listener.

Biden, Harris are Time's 2020 'Person of the Year'
"Go from here. That's the colossal question. Before president-elect joe biden who was named times person of the year along with vice president elect kamala harris. He's not the first person of the year to be tasked with the future of america. Almost every u s president since the franchise began in nineteen twenty. Eight has been named person of the year at least once excluding calvin coolidge. Herbert hoover and gerald ford but biden is likely the first in a generation to inherit such a crescendo of course trophies. A worsening pandemic that's brought a staggering loss of life widespread unemployment and an economic crisis a global climate crisis a reckoning over the continued pervasiveness of systemic racism and growing misinformation blurring fact and fiction during an interview with time editor in chief and ceo. Edward felsen thal at queens theatre in wilmington delaware. The president-elect discussed his partnership with harris the coming covid nineteen vaccine rollout. His thoughts on pardons and more here are excerpts. From biden's interview edited for clarity on restoring america's middle class if my plan is able to be implemented whole plan. I think it's going to go down as one of the most progressive administrations in american history. We've lost the idea that when ordinary people do well. Everybody does better. It's important that we focus on the things that provide opportunity pardoning donald trump. my justice department will make decisions based on the facts there. The people's lawyers. They're not my lawyers. I'm never going to pick up the phone. And say pardon so. And so or go out and prosecute so. And so. But i lived through gerald ford's pardoning of richard nixon. I think that the law and the circumstance should take its effect. I'm not suggesting. Trumpy prosecuted. Or not. But i would not be engaged in that prematurely. How the pandemic has changed him and us. What's been reinforced is my absolute commitment. That everyone is entitled to health care. It's not about whether or not it's a privilege it's a right. We're the only country in the world that has come out of every crisis stronger than we went into the crisis. I predict we will come out of this crisis stronger than when we went in finding vaccine. Hesitancy the words of a president matter. Whether they're good. Presidents are bad. They matter i joined the three presidents who said they would be publicly vaccinated because i think people will realize that we have to reinstate confidence that science is real if someone with the reputation of anthony fauci and the leading scientists of the country said this vaccine works they should take choosing kamala harris. She is straight as an arrow. She is really really bright. She is tough but yet she has a heart. That understands what it's like to be on the other side of prejudice. She also was an immigrant's daughter who was raised in a strange way like i was. We were taught that we could be anything. Don't give up just move. Keep pushing.

Bloomberg Comes Up Big with $100M Cash Infusion in Florida
"So this was another big story from over the weekend was the announcement by Mike Bloomberg that he's going to spend at least one hundred, million dollars in the state of Florida to help Joe Biden win the state. This Washington Post story says that Bloomberg made the decision last week after seeing those numbers on Florida in seeing that Oh may be Biden's a little underperforming there. It's a little closer than we thought official. Voting starts on September twenty fourth in Florida. So the need to inject real capital in that state quickly is an urgent need. This is Bloomberg Adviser Kevin Cheeky he continues Mike believes that by investing in Florida, it will allow campaign resources in other democratic resources to be used in other states in particular the state of Pennsylvania. So there was always this fear of, Oh, where's Bloomberg's money? He got to speak at the convention, but he's not gonNA fork any over even after he said, he made this promise to keep his campaign employed in put all this money into help be trump. Personally, I was really never worried by didn't didn't really come after Mike to personally at least for too long also because they were both from New York I'm sure trump gave Bloomberg his fair share of grief during the couple of terms that Mike was the mayor of New York. City. You can tell when Bloomberg speaks whenever he goes on TV his ads were also pretty devastating, but you can just feel the vitriol contempt for Donald Trump Mike. Bloomberg is obviously a big money guy. You know he's a billionaire but even he trust Joe Biden more than Donald Trump So that should really be a warning to everyone and as Rick. Wilson always says Mike Bloomberg has more money in his couch cushions than Donald Trump has at all I think alluding to the fact that Donald Donaldson, shady loans, and he's probably not even a billionaire really when you get down to went off topic but thank goodness that is a breath of fresh air some good news for Joe Biden on the money side to with an even better August and by the way, the Biden campaign pointed out that since Calvin Coolidge in nineteen, twenty four, no Republican has won if they don't win Florida. And this year, it really is all about Florida because of trump doesn't get that one he's got to pick up a couple from either Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania Arizona in those are looking shaky I mean that's really really generous because he's behind in all of them. So He needs Florida to have any chance and that's a little note to yourself if you're watching. On election night tour as the votes come in the days after in the mail. Well, we're GONNA know pretty quickly because Florida starts counting there's early. So we'll know on election night mostly with the vote is going to be. So a Florida starts going Biden were going to be in really good shape. That's when you know. Okay we might have this one.

Will Early Retirements Crash the Economy?
"I recently saw a poll that was sponsored by T. Rowe price it showed forty three percent of millennial workers expect to retire before the age of sixty five that compares to thirty five percent of those from generation. X. which is ages forty fifty five. This survey was referenced in an article by Gina Smith Alec of The New York Times. The article was titled. How millennials could make the FEDS job harder. The subtitle they love the idea of retiring early that could diminish the Federal Reserve's firepower the article reference. How millennials in order to leave the workforce early with need to build up massive retirement funds and buy less things and that lack of demand could hit consumption which would slow economic growth leading to ever lower interest rates. The author mentioned the paradox of Thrift. Which is if everyone tries to save in mass that could lead to lower economic growth lower inflation and trip up the economy. She writes when consumers save a big portion of their income. They are not spending as much on dinners out. Movie Nights and cars businesses respond by investing less than equipment and technology and productivity stalls. Bosses are unwilling to pay their workers more for the same output and week pay gains further restrain spending. Would a wave of early retirements cause such economic turmoil? That's what we're going to explore in this episode. The fear that early retirements would cause economic. Turmoil is not new. It was prevalent in the nineteen twenties. Which are sometimes called the roaring twenties because it was a period where economic growth was very very strong in the US was following World War. One Manufacturers really hit their stride. They were able to produce goods that were affordable to the masses the economy the measure of output gross domestic product grew by about forty two percent during the nineteen twenties that compares to about twenty five percent economic growth during the most recent decade real per capita GDP. The amount of output produced per person grew from sixty five hundred dollars. This is on a real basis so negative inflation to nine thousand seven dollars about a forty percent increase between twenty ten and twenty nineteen real per capita GDP in the US grew from just under fifty thousand to just over fifty eight thousand about a seventeen percent increase now is from a smaller base in the nineteen twenties but it was a period expansion even greater than the expansion of the most recent decade where we didn't have any economic recessions in the US in the nineteen twenties. There were several brief periods of economic contraction. But generally speaking the economy was doing very very well Lincoln steffens. He's an investigative journalist was known for his investigations on corruption. Business in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight he wrote big business in America is producing what the socialist held up as their goal food shelter and clothing for all president. Calvin coolidge said. This is essentially a business country. Journalist Samuel Strauss in the Atlantic monthly in one thousand nine hundred eighty four wrote. This is our proudest boast. The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago. He pointed out the signs of that prosperity. Automobiles radios buildings bathrooms furs furniture. Ocean LINERS HOTELS BRIDGES VACUUM CLEANERS. Cameras Bus Lines Electric Toasters moving pictures. Railway cars packaged foods telephones. Pianos novels comics. These things were made available. Because of mass production efficiencies in the manufacturing process they were also accessible to the public not only because the prices were affordable but credit was available installment purchases

The news you missed during your summer vacation
"Been a busy week in Washington. So I did something very purposeful for the last part of the summer. I had not many of you know, I got on this show because I I was in talk radio for many years. And even though the show's been around for twenty two years, I was doing talk radio simultaneously insanity. When Los Angeles. So I was the talk radio guy. Yeah. Be in a studio talking talking on the radio show. So, but I was it was it was, you know, politics and local economy, stop, and this and that how it affects. So since I had no I got out of the local. I mean, I I still do a lot of it. But I'm not full-time. I fall fill in here and there just because it's time consuming, Pat my career in however. I said purposely at the end of the summer starting at the beginning of August. I was gonna shut off CNN Fox News MSNBC CNBC, all news stations. I was gonna listen to any news for a month. You did. And you went to Maui to start it all off. I did I went to Maui with rusty to start off because the problem is in this business. Yeah. People say all the time. How do you guys prep or always prepping because they're always listening? Okay. Turn up listening to yacht. Rock. Yacht rock on. Yeah. No. I'm not kidding. I've been listening to rock on what's the thing called. But that'd be serious or I heart. This is your rock, by the way, I heart radio. This is this was the era of rock, by the way. But like the PINA colada song, for example. Hammock rock. I got Hanukkah. A month. So I want to get back. He's back from. Perpetual, the that he never stops. Never stops. News. And he is he is appears the purveyor of political dot com. He's the author of the book the divided era, Tom, delbra Korotan. How are you, sir? Great to have you on. So I'm not kidding. When I say this the only thing I heard about in the news. I heard John McCain died, obviously because I saw that. I I saw there was some sort of a publication thing where the newspapers came out and said f you Donald Trump or something I didn't I didn't. I didn't even know what that was. But honestly that is as far as I paid attention to the news it literally twenty seven days. So catch us all up, and what's the latest? Here you go. Well, latest is that Trump announced his trade deal with Mexico. Being president. He's got this crazy notion. Show up to work every day and actually. They get to the mid and they're Evan election year. And and they're afraid to do anything. So. So. Really big deal. Markets have responded. Well, NASDAQ went to a new height. They expanded candidates to come along and complete that was in the next couple of months as well. So on business notion the idea that foster economic growth leading Cal Cal Calvin Coolidge, say of America's business, and that the government should get out of the way Trump soon. Yeah. Oh boy. There are those who would want to bring down the presidency for game. That's the competition. Matt America's in these days, and that groups Robert Mueller, and that's not going as well. Although I do. Paul manafort's wind up in jail. That is to be bad lawyer and even dumber client. Lanny Davis Clinton attorney now represents him. Is committing atrocious ethical issues and overstating the fast. I'm not sure that have that much of an impact. But here's. I don't know if anybody does as Thompson attorney, Tom, Tom double cars, a practicing attorney. Oh, good. I need help. When you. Must've got that from Russia. I was worried. Good. I just tell you about rusty nails. When he went to. Rusty males goes to Russia. And what does what do you do when you're taking some downtime and Russia can take your laptop down in the lobby just opened up your laptop and yet. You start hitting online in Russia got high act on my Email list. And you get me get a. Weird radio. It's me. It's all done with emojis. Anyway. So Tom talk about legal the legal east side of this thing. First of all, you talk about you talk about being a bad client in a bad lawyer Manafort, though on the other side of the fence. I would I would argue that if he were if he was convicted as he was and he's probably going to go to jail. This is if there was if if Mueller had anything on him he would have used it over his head to say, well, I'm going to reduce your sentence. Obviously, this means that Miller has nothing on him. Correct. Thank you. Because popadopoulos. Plea bargain calling plea bargain. Manafort, plea bargain, if anybody was gonna know anything about alleged wrongdoings Trump related to the election and would have been those three and it didn't happen. Muller's pushing ahead. Meanwhile, judge let's out terrorists in Mexico desert lets them out on bail manafort's in solitary confinement. The American people seem as they recognize this. And what is going on right now is getting hurt in the polls by these things because it's the numbers are already baked in more hot a chance to be objective. One day. The media had a chance to be objective ruined. Even the I had a chance to fall on both sides. And do what was right? They haven't done it. CBS pollen shows that the more they lean on Trump stronger. His base gaps in wine to get out and reelect Republicans just asked me, I'm still a big fan. So. What about obviously in the economy is just killing it? What about what about this talk? Is. There have been recent talking about Democrats take the takeover congress take the house impeachment. Is there is that kind of died down? Or is that sorta that's going? Fever pitch MSNBC was talking about. This is the end sort of saying, and what's interesting about that is the numbers haven't changed that much now. With this new deal with Mexico unlikely another deal with candidate before the election. Once you're gonna see economies. Dwell. Todd turn after turn off your CPA. He's so piper interview after us to call them on Skype. You can take that. That's all right. Honestly, though, the fever pitch fever pitch. Part of this thing is really interesting. Stay right there, Tom because I'm gonna keep you over here. I think for me, I think I think it's going to be interesting to find out how the false because we got you know, got elections come up enough. Sixty sixty three days,
