In my latest episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ted Jenkin for a thought-provoking discussion on some of the biggest economic and political challenges we face today. From market volatility and government accountability to California’s struggling economy, we explored how these issues shape America’s future.

Ted shared valuable insights on emotional trading, long-term investing, and the staggering levels of government waste and fraud. With the national debt projected to hit $40 trillion, we discussed why bold action is needed to restore fiscal responsibility. We also dove into the flaws of our education system, agreeing that it should inspire students rather than just teach to standardized tests.

Beyond domestic issues, our conversation touched on global politics, including the complexities of achieving Middle East peace and the rise of political extremism. We also examined Trump’s policies, energy independence, and how media influence shapes public perception.

At its core, this episode is about the importance of common sense, pragmatic leadership, and finding solutions that unite rather than divide.
