Coming to you from FreedomFest in Las Vegas, I talk with Founder Mark Skousen. He's been named one of the World's Top 20 Living Economists. Also, an event summary with GRE Investment Coach, Naresh. Learn about the deleterious consequences of rent control. President Joe Biden supports it (somewhat). If four tenants live in identical fourplex units, it actually makes sense for them to pay different rent amounts. I explain. We can construct more housing by relaxing zoning requirements in the right way—reduce off-street parking requirements, increase ADUs, no rent control, reduce minimum lawn sizes. There's higher homelessness in L.A., San Francisco, and Austin than Houston. Houston has a lower-cost market, few zoning requirements, and less NIMBY mindset. Politicians run on platforms like immigration, abortion, and inflation. But they don't run on reducing the debt because they don't see it as a problem that they created. At FreedomFest, I attended a presidential debate between the current candidates of the Libertarian Party, Green Party, and Constitution Party. Most or all agreed that the Fed should be abolished. The common theme at FreedomFest was: “Government, get out of the way.” Resources mentioned: For access to properties or free help with a GRE Investment Coach, start here: GREmarketplace.com Get mortgage loans for investment property: RidgeLendingGroup.com or call 855-74-RIDGE  or e-mail: info@RidgeLendingGroup.com Invest with Freedom Family Investments.  You get paid first: Text FAMILY to 66866 For advertising inquiries, visit: GetRichEducation.com/ad Will you please leave a review for the show?

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:01:37)) - -  We're gonna go from Oswego, New York to Lake Oswego, Oregon, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith, while you are inside, get rich education. I'm attending a free office live and in person in Las Vegas today. One key economic freedom and what makes a free market free is that ability for producers and suppliers and landlords to set prices based on what the market will bear, whether that's a high price or a low price. Now, what's wrong with rent control, which is a law that puts a ceiling on the amount of rent that you're allowed to charge? Well, that sounds like a nice thing to do for one set of people in the short term. Well, rent control has the same effect as price controls on consumer goods.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:02:30)) - -  If the government thinks that cars are becoming too expensive, and they set up a new law that says that you can't charge more than $20,000 if you want to sell a new car, well, then those manufacturers will stop producing cars and soon enough, you, the consumer, cannot buy a car. You'd no longer have an automobile market at all. And the consumer suffers under no choice and even austerity. Put price controls on beef jerky and companies will stop making beef jerky. Put price controls on rent called rent control, and landlords have zero incentive to provide property, no motivation to improve property. And there is a raft just reams of evidence and studies out there that show that rent control, that is a surefire way to then reduce the supply of functional housing, just like the supply of cars or beef jerky would get cut. That's especially not a good solution in today's real estate supply constrained world. And, you know, here's what's interesting. The government created the inflation in the first place. That led to the high price problem that they think they can cure through rent control.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:03:52)) - -  I mean, government keeps trying to solve a problem that they created. Well, just take a new course, a new direction and stop the inflation. In that way, you'll cure the higher prices long term and then near term. What you can do is relax zoning requirements in order to create more housing. I mean, in three cases here, less government cures the problems, no inflation, no rent control, and thirdly, no stringent zoning. Knock down all three of those walls and instead, now what have you done? You've encouraged a bunch of builders to come into a market. You've encouraged competition. And what does competition do? It increases quality and it yeah, lowers prices. So cure the problem by knocking down the walls. You know, you as a landlord, I don't even think that there should be laws that say that you have got to charge every ten at the same rent amount. Yeah, and that is even if each one of your tenants has seemingly an identical unit, say, in a fourplex building.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:05:04)) - -  Now I'm on different fourplex buildings and I have most everyone like throughout history, I've had just about every tenant paid different rent amounts in the same building, even though all of the units were built at the same time and had the same square footage. Now a real estate investing newcomer, you know, they might think that that sounds unfair, that these tenants with basically identical units paying different rent amounts. But we all know how it works in practice, in real life. I mean, one of those four tenants might have the front unit with the best views, while the tenant with the best view. Well, of course they're going to be willing to pay more for that unit. Well, that right there, that's free market supply and demand. The fourplex unit with the best view will rent out faster and for more. But instead of that arrangement, if it's mandated, say, by the government that everyone in the building must pay the same rent, say that each of the four units must pay exactly $2,000.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:06:07)) - -  Oh, well, then the tenant with the worst view, which then has less benefit to living there, has to subsidize the tenant with the best view that already has the best benefit of living there, because they must all pay exactly $2,000. And then what about things like several months from now? Say you have a vacancy at Christmas. Well, it's hard to get a tenant to move at Christmas to get them in there. So you'll charge a low rent just to get someone in there then. Versus how you charge more now in summertime, because tenants demand units, a lot of them want to get settled in during the summer before the school year starts. What about a tenants living in your fourplex or rental single family home for five years, and their unit hasn't been painted or renovated in a while, and the tenant has seen you already. Well, they're probably going to pay less then a new tenant will in there say freshly painted unit. So my point is that even making every tenant of one individual fourplex building have to pay the same rent amount.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:07:10)) - -  Well, that is a form of rent control and that is actually unfair if they all have to pay the same rent amount. The free market is what's fair and enables a system of rent price discovery, instead of being confined and oppressed under rent control. Now here, the Freedom Fest in Las Vegas and we'll discuss the conference more. Today I attended one panel discussion. It was called How the Government Created the Housing Crisis and what we can do to Fix it, And it really gave specific solutions to provide more housing. This includes things like stop mandating a minimum square area for parking spaces. Stop mandating such large lawns. Instead, people can share a public park and relax the requirements that have so many easements out of property. Well, all that stuff is zoning in its stifles development and it leads to higher housing prices. Now, I maintain that not all zoning is bad. I don't think that you want a housing development surrounded by factories with smokestacks. So it's about relaxing zoning in the right way and promoting the right policies, like the benefits of a yimby movement.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:08:27)) - -  Yes, in my backyard. Removing off street parking mandates altogether and allowing more ADUs allow Single-Family homes on smaller lot sizes. And we've already seen some of that. We're seeing home builders do more of that. They're building single family homes closer together, smaller lot sizes. But a lot of the wrong strategies exist out there. And once people get the benefits, like the beneficiaries of these wrong strategies, I mean, they don't want to give them up. Like New York's rent stabilization program that gives rent breaks to wealthy New Yorkers that also have a pricey home out in the Hamptons. Well, that's not the right policy. That's not helping the people that need it most. And you know, when the wrong policies infiltrate a market, the reaction can be amazingly rapid. I mean, how rapid? Like, do you think you would see a construction project literally halt mid construction? Yeah. You actually can like construction cranes just stop swinging. In Saint Paul, Minnesota, you saw construction cranes stop mid-air mid construction.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:09:38)) - -  When Saint Paul moved toward a rent control of no more than 3% annual rent increases. Well, that's a form of rent control. When that happens, building stops because the developer knows that people don't want to buy those units or invest in those units or rent those units. And I've got more to discuss on housing shortly, but let's bring in the very founder, host and producer of Freedom Fest here. He has been named as one of the top 20 living economists in the world. Doctor Mark Skosan and you will hear some background noise in these conference interviews. We are at a conference at times. We're in the exhibit hall now. Interestingly, here with Mark, I bring up with him how much I dislike these political labels that just divide the nation. I mean, don't you agree that it would be great if the nation were less divided? Yes, we all would. Well, we can do our part by avoiding saying words like red and blue and oh, you know, I can't stand those maps.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:10:44)) - -  Then you see, I've mentioned this to you before. You see these maps in political season that show where the red states are and where the blue states are. I mean, how divisive and polarizing that is not unifying in the United States of America. The fact that this conference has a non divisive founder like Mark Skosan is what attracted me here. Sure enough, here you'll hear me tell him how much I appreciate this. This was prescient because the very next day after this interview that you're about to hear, that was the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Hey, it's Keith Reinhold here. I'm at Freedom Fest with Freedom Fest host and founder Mark Scott. And thanks for having us here. Yeah. My pleasure, my pleasure. Thank you for coming. Well, I've got to tell you one reason that attracted me to this conference. I was concerned that it was going to be too politically partisan. And I respect you so much, because I know you have said that in most of all the books you've read, you've avoided these labels like liberal, conservative, left, right, red, blue, yes, progressive, conservative and all that.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:11:58)) - -  So that's what I'd like hearing when we talk about this conference championing principles of freedom and liberty. What does an American really need to know about freedom and liberty that's under attack today?   Mark Skousen** ((00:12:09)) - -  I think what we've tried to preach is the Adam Smith model, which you call the system of natural liberty. And what that meant was under the rule of law and justice and a robust competitive model. You've maximized the freedom of choice, freedom to choose your own work, your own business, how much salary you're going to charge or wages you're going to pay, whether you can hire or fire people. So within those rules, within those guidelines, you have maximum security. But in today's world, more and more everything, it's either being prohibited or mandated. So we're being squeezed from both sides. The idea of freedom of best to maximize freedom is for us to come together and find out what are the best solutions to improve our lives is the idea. So we talk philosophy, history, science and technology, healthy living, economics, politics.   Mark Skousen** ((00:13:05)) - -  It's all part of the program here. But it's not just a political conference.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:13:08)) - -  Part of this is lowering the guardrails and promoting free markets. The only thing that we've all seen happen in free markets is inflation, oftentimes ironically, created by some of those forces that put guardrails in place. So what does an investor there are a lot of investors here. Oh yeah. What does an investor need to know with regard to inflation today. How can the everyday person respond.   Mark Skousen** ((00:13:33)) - -  So one thing is we have a whole section on financial freedom because without financial freedom you're limited in what you can do and your influence that you can have. So this is very important. We live in an era of permanent inflation. Since World War two we've had permanent inflation. We didn't used to, but now we do because we're off the gold standard. We've adopted Keynesian economics, which means deficit spending all the time. We have adopted the dollar rather than gold. So we've lost that discipline. The fed is the engine of inflation. And they even have a policy of a minimum of at least 2% inflation rate.   Mark Skousen** ((00:14:10)) - -  We had a whole session. Actually Steve Forbes wasn't there, but Nathan Lewis is co-author of in the book inflation. We had a big session on what are the best inflation hedges. So we talk about gold and silver. The stock market, Bitcoin rallies, high bonds, real estate. We had all of those discussion. And that was the great thing about Freedom Fest is that you really do get answers and best solutions. At our conference, I attended that particular. Oh you did? Yeah.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:14:38)) - -  From Freedom Fest.   Mark Skousen** ((00:14:39)) - -  I've really.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:14:40)) - -  Enjoyed this.   Mark Skousen** ((00:14:41)) - -  So far. We have an exhibit hall.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:14:42)) - -  Which happens to be right. Oh yeah, we have breakout sessions that attendees can go to for the sessions that particularly interest. There are then a big general session where I've enjoyed presentations from Robert Kiyosaki to Ice-T. What is the future potential for getting Fest attendees? What would you like to tell them about what this conference entails? What they can.   Mark Skousen** ((00:15:03)) - -  Expect in the.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:15:03)) - -  Bank that they can.   Mark Skousen** ((00:15:04)) - -  Get? Well, one of the things is just the wonderful camaraderie that you feel, the buzz that you feel the meeting of like minded people who are all trying to seek best solutions rather than labels and attacking people.   Mark Skousen** ((00:15:18)) - -  And, we have the presidential debate here, for example. Well, we have all the third parties come together libertarians, the Constitution Party, the Green Party. We have RFK coming. The two major parties decided not to come. So, so much for their belief in democracy. But the idea is there's a there's something for everybody here. You want to improve your lifestyle, you want to prove your financial situation. You want to have better clarity on what is the proper role of government. Read about this A conference for you. This is an annual event that we usually have in the summer in Las Vegas and then other cities, and it's only 3 or 4. You know, we live busy lives, so can we come together once a year to learn to network, to socialize and celebrate liberty? I think we can if we plan ahead. When we.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:16:06)) - -  Drop these labels, we can get a clear download of sorts, remove filters.   Mark Skousen** ((00:16:11)) - -  And think.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:16:12)) - -  Clearly. And this is a largest gathering.   Mark Skousen** ((00:16:15)) - -  Of.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:16:15)) - -  Free minds. So for Mark Skelton I'm Keith Weigel. You heard Mark Skelton mentioned the presidential debate at Freedom Fest. I watched quite a bit of that. More on it later. Gray Investment coach narration is here in person with me at Freedom Fest.

The race. Hey, welcome in the race. Hey, Keith.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:18:47)) - -  We are here in real life at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas, Nevada. And what Freedom Fest does is it promotes and champions the ideals of freedom in the United States, and it includes a bunch of guest speakers that have made appearances here that you got to see in person, from Ice-T to Robert Kiyosaki to a bunch of presidential candidates as well, sometimes not championing principles of things like freedom and tolerance and liberty and tyranny. And I think anyone can agree to freedom on a this basis. But when you think it through and where the discussion really begins is, oh, well, if you have freedom, does that mean you should be free to do anything at all that you want? Probably not. And that's quite a discussion or tolerance. That's an ideal. That sounds good, but oh does that mean you should tolerate absolutely anything? No probably not. So that's where a lot of the interesting policy decisions and a lot of the interesting debates come in here in the race. And I attended some of these presentations together and other ones separately.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:19:53)) - -  So we have some different perspectives on what we've learned here at Freedom Fest. Grace, why don't you tell us about some of the good takeaways that you had? I had a lot of good takeaways, Keith.   Mark Skousen** ((00:20:03)) - -  This is not just about freedom in the United States. It's about freedom around the world. And you even interviewed and I believe we're playing that interview soon. If you haven't already played it yet, you interviewed probably the freest nation in the world. It's a brand new nation and it's called liberalism, like liberty, land libre land in Europe. And it touts itself as the freest nation in the world. So there have been all sorts of topics happening or talked about from business, finance, economics, real estate, crypto, bitcoin, gold to non-business and financial topics, which I actually found more interesting simply because.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:20:46)) - -  Most of what I listen to and what.   Mark Skousen** ((00:20:48)) - -  Is business finance econ. I wanted something a little bit different, especially as a father of two young boys. There were topics on gender and sexuality.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:21:01)) - -  And.   Mark Skousen** ((00:21:02)) - -  Vaccinations being the vaccinated versus unvaccinated. Robert F Kennedy was the keynote speaker at this conference, and he's a major presidential candidate.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:21:12)) - -  RL Jr RFK.   Mark Skousen** ((00:21:14)) - -  Jr. Even though he's not part of a major party, he's probably the most popular third party candidate over the last 30 years, so he's a candidate. There were lectures on healthcare.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:21:28)) - -  And.   Mark Skousen** ((00:21:29)) - -  How to be a better patient. And hold your doctor and hold the healthcare system accountable. The other aspect of this conference is there are some heavy hitters just walking around freely. Like I met Matt Ridley easily, I met Robert Kiyosaki, just he was dressed in very casual clothing to where people didn't even recognize them. And I did and told him how much I appreciated him. You know, you and the great podcast and huge inspiration for me. Yeah, people like Kiyosaki walking around freely, presidential candidates walking around freely, many third party candidates, not just RFK. He wasn't walking around as freely. He was in and out pretty quickly with really heavy security.   Mark Skousen** ((00:22:09)) - -  But you had other third party candidates, like the Libertarian Party candidate and the Green Party candidate walking around freely. I ran into Vivek Ramaswamy, his campaign manager, while getting pizza. We are both standing in line getting pizza. We ended up having about almost a two hour lunch. One day talking finance business Vivek's policies his future. So overall this conference very educational, inside the classroom, very beneficial outside the classroom. We're going to bring some guests on the great podcast. We met at this conference, publicists who we met at this conference who represent good guests, some business development opportunities, maybe some not just good guests, but people who we would recommend their newsletters, maybe even outside of the real estate industry, people, contacts within the real estate industry. So it's not all about what you learn in the classroom. It's also about who you meet, the networking, the business development. Overall, just a really, really successful experience. There were a few.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:23:11)) - -  Shows that snagged me as a guest while here as well.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:23:15)) - -  I'm talking about American freedom here chiefly. But you did mention Lebanon, a startup nation between Croatia and Serbia. That's seven square kilometers in area. You know, I think there are a lot of people at a conference like this and just anywhere in society where if you ask them, well, hey, if you think you could run the nation better if you were starting it all over again, how would you start a nation from a clean slate and actually got an opportunity to do that? Well, I'll be interviewing the president of Lebanon here, where this country is trying to seek recognition from any nation. They want to start their own country, and they want to do freedom and really begin a country of their rights.   Mark Skousen** ((00:23:55)) - -  And see is, is is.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:23:57)) - -  Is is.   Mark Skousen** ((00:23:57)) - -  Bitcoin I think not just crypto but it's bitcoin. And it's interesting because you hear a lot of times you don't like the country that you live in, go somewhere else. These people took it to a whole new level and said, well, we're just going to start our own country.   Mark Skousen** ((00:24:10)) - -  And and it's about three square miles. So it's about the size of the area that I lived in. Tampa, not even Tampa, just almost the neighborhood that I live in, Tampa. So it's not a huge country, but it's interesting talking to them. And as you'll hear in the interview, hearing about what it's like to start a new country and there's a lot that you have to go, you know, there's a lot of fundraising if you want to call it that, that you have to do. It's it's a lot it's bigger than the business.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:24:37)) - -  You'll learn more about that on an upcoming episode of the show with the nation of Berlin. I attended a presentation called A Forgotten Solution to the Housing Crunch. Most people think of real estate development is either single family homes or multifamily properties. This espoused the building of light touch density of 2 to 4 unit properties, and how that increases the density. But it maintains character. And they showed an awful lot of photos in the presentation where from a street, a four unit building can actually like a single family home when it has the right design and therefore you don't get this NIMBYism pushback.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:25:16)) - -  I saw a number of smart design examples of that. And you know what this does? Will this help keep the cost of housing down in an area? What it allows for in a society is it allows the children who grew up in an area to afford the housing there without being priced out. Also called this multifamily missing middle 2 to 4 unit housing. You don't have the NIMBYism pushback that you do with multifamily housing. There are an awful lot of opinions here about people that want to avoid rent control, about how that's typically the bad policy. And many likened rent control to bombing American cities over time because landlords don't have an incentive to improve anything. So rent control is not a good solution to increasing the housing supply. And a lot of the discussion was how you get politicians to say no to rent control, sharing with them. Cato Institute studies on how the free market really makes for a higher housing supply, because that makes developers want to come into the market. And it was noted in one of the panel discussions about rent control and about providing more affordable housing.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:26:27)) - -  But if there's a four unit building of owners of all four units of that building, how that's deemed as less threatening than if there's a four unit building of renters.   Mark Skousen** ((00:26:38)) - -  So question for you, the housing panels that you attended were these people, were they private investors or they worked for private equity companies? I think maybe a documentary filmmaker who does real estate documentary, what was their background?   Keith Weinhold** ((00:26:50)) - -  Think tanks and yes, a documentary filmmaker of a film called Shabbat Vacation. And I did not get to see the film about the perils and ills of rent control on Shabbat vacation. But I talked with one of the people that worked on the project and basically that movie. It does glorify the landlord that was brought up. And typically in popular culture, you don't glorify the landlord. I mean, the landlord is kind of the beleaguered party in this, and it was critical of rent control there. And so it's helping to spread an awareness of how that really doesn't help the housing supply. Quantity work quality over time. I attended another presentation.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:27:33)) - -  It was called Homelessness California versus Texas and Homelessness. Of course, it's a multifaceted problem. There are a number of reasons that it occurs, but they really brought up that it often results from the loss of family connection a lot more often than what some people think. And it really brought to light that Houston has a lower proportion of homelessness in L.A. and San Francisco does. What are the reason this that that is the case. And that is because Houston has a lower proportion of homelessness, because it's a lower cost to build there, and Houston has way fewer zoning requirements, you see, almost like a hodgepodge of building across Houston. You have substantially less NIMBYism in Houston. You just have a culture there that doesn't push back on buildings. So those are really some of the key parallels between why the homelessness crisis is worse in California than it is in Texas. In most places, Austin actually has policies that are so agricultural to the rest of Texas, giving Austin a somewhat higher homelessness rate.   Mark Skousen** ((00:28:38)) - -  Wow, that's a lot of real estate content that you got there.   Mark Skousen** ((00:28:42)) - -  Anything else? Keith?   Keith Weinhold** ((00:28:44)) - -  Another presentation I attended was called Permanent Rising Prices. What are the best inflation hedges? And, you know, for a while they didn't even put real estate up there as one of them. And I was almost foaming at the mouth getting ready to ask a question. But they did bring in real estate at the end. When it comes to inflation. Many of them brought up the fact that we have multi-trillion dollar deficits even when we're in good times. I had never thought of it that way before. If most people would look at the history of the world and what's happening with the nation while they're running multi-trillion dollar deficits, they probably think that they're trending toward poverty and austerity. But that's not the case. This is what's happening in good times. And politicians, they really don't run on a platform of reducing our debt. You notice that none of the politicians do that. Instead, you see politicians run on platforms like immigration or the housing shortage or abortion. But, you know, politicians, they don't run on a platform of reducing our debt.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:29:42)) - -  And that's because they all see it as a problem that they didn't create, and they don't really want to work their way out of it either. So that's why it doesn't come up. Also, with the best inflation hedges, they showed the rank of asset performance for the last 200 years of five items stocks, bonds, treasury bills, gold and the dollar. And really it was coming down to two guys debating on whether stocks or gold were better. They both made their case either way. And they didn't bring in real estate until the end. But when they brought in real estate, they broad brushstroke and do what so many do, and they just looked at it as an asset class in what is its capital appreciation over time. Yeah. And you know, they didn't separate out income property as its own class like we would. But some of the panelists, they did not like real estate. They talked about how it's not liquid, about how you have to borrow funds, about how there's a maintenance burden and a repair burden with real estate, and you have tenants and management and some things like that.   Mark Skousen** ((00:30:40)) - -  Fair, all fair.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:30:41)) - -  All fair points. And one panelist brought up that gold has outperformed the gold mining stocks just historically over time. So those are some of the inflation hedges and some of the other issues with inflation that you don't think about very much as you have policy advocates and politicians addressing.   Mark Skousen** ((00:30:57)) - -  Well, I'll say gold mining stocks and most traders will tell you traders by gold mining stocks, not investors. So gold mining stocks are meant to be held over the short term. They are not meant to be held over a long period of time like physical tangible gold is. So for people to say, oh yeah, gold outperforms gold stocks over a 30 year period. That's true. But most people are buying gold stocks Like gold mining, stocks are only holding over a short period of time.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:31:29)) - -  Well, housing and inflation were such widespread themes here since it has been such a problem, much of it wrought by the pandemic. As we wind down here summarizing what we've experienced at our first Freedom Fest, for each of us, have any last thoughts with respect to housing and inflation since they were such overarching themes?   Mark Skousen** ((00:31:49)) - -  Well, the common theme here at Freedom Fest was government got out of the way because if you let the free market work itself out, if you let people be, people work themselves out.   Mark Skousen** ((00:32:01)) - -  But the onus on people to take personal responsibility, that in and of itself solves the inflation problem because you don't have government restrictions, government mandates, and And this was a major topic and that was the lockdowns of 2020. The mandatory vaccine mandates of 2021, those were all inflationary because when you have people fired from their jobs or dropping out, quitting their jobs because they didn't want to take this job, that means prices are higher and lower. Workforce means you have to pay the whoever is there higher wages. And that's what ended up happening. So it's not just about dollars and cents. It's something as simple as getting a job caused inflation. And ultimately when inflation goes up, of course that's going to affect rents, that's going to affect housing. There was a major savings rate, which I'm sure you covered in 2020, where people were saving money, being locked down at home. And once things started opening up, that money was spent and that created inflation. And people, as soon as they could get out of their house said, hey, I want to move to Florida, or I want to move to Texas or Utah or where we are here in Nevada.   Mark Skousen** ((00:33:10)) - -  And that's why housing values exploded. So the inflation was caused by government. It wasn't just the government spending. It was actual psychological and physical things that the government or the policies of the government did that created an inflation. The government spending, the low Federal Reserve interest rates are just a piece of the pie, or they're just a couple of pieces to the pie. And so it was interesting to learn that all these other areas, all these other, like I said, policies that the government enacted. And that's what Robert F Kennedy Jr, RFK, talked about in his keynote speech. All of these policies affected the purchasing power of our dollar.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:33:53)) - -  We have all had more dollars chasing fewer goods and services, one of those being housing itself. Hey, it's been great to meet up here in real life at Freedom Fest this year in a race. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Thank you Keith. I'm great. Yeah. Narration I enjoying freedom Fest here. Oh, there's such a wide variety of vendors and viewpoints all around this concept of free thinking, typically with getting government out of the way.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:34:29)) - -  In fact, in the exhibit hall, which is right across from where the speaker discussions are, there are booths for gold, real estate, cryptocurrency stocks, a dating app for unvaccinated people, self-directed IRAs, a program for teaching capitalism to school children. There is even a book that espouses biblical capitalist virtues. And then elsewhere in the exhibit hall, atheist virtues. There was also a promoter of a currency called the Nevada Gold Back, and what it is is 1/1000 of an ounce of 24 karat gold. And it is physical like gold back. It looks sort of like a dollar bill, just much, much more in the exhibit hall. Now, one concept that I did not hear any criticism about was Trump tariffs. Tariffs are not free market. In fact, it's akin to erecting a trade wall. And maybe there is a session about it. But there are many sessions going on concurrently and I can't attend them all. And in other sessions I was asked to be a speaker and was interviewed. Like you heard.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:35:45)) - -  Doctor Scholes had mentioned there was a presidential debate here. Now the two major party candidates didn't attend. I watched RFK Jr speak here, an independent candidate, and he was not in the presidential debate, though he spoke separately in the security for RFK Jr was formidable, even though he spoke the day before the Trump shooting. The presidential debate was among three different parties. It was Jill Stein at the Green Party, Randall Terry of the Constitution Party, and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver, who is a particularly bright, articulate guy, and most or all of those candidates, they agree that we should end the Federal Reserve. And the presidential debate, interestingly, was moderated by Congressman Thomas Massie, who has more formally proposed ending the fed outside of the presidential debate. I also attended a different session. It was a Bitcoin debate called Will the Bitcoin bubble ever burst? And you had two guys promoting and talking about the virtues of Bitcoin. And then you had two guys criticizing Bitcoin. And one of the two bitcoin critics was Whole Foods founder John Mackey.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:36:58)) - -  So this really got interesting. Now I like a lot of the benefits of Bitcoin personally, but I must say in this particular debate the Bitcoin critics decide that Maggie was on. Oh they won this. The proponents best points were the people back in the day said electricity in the internet word feasible. They weren't going to last, but electricity and the internet won and Bitcoin will to the pro camp also espouses that Bitcoin is the first time we've had absolute digital scarcity. You cannot copy and paste bitcoin, but yeah, the critics did a better job. They said that Bitcoin is always made future promises, but it falls short like its awful acceptance rate as a currency. Still today its price levels are dreadfully volatile, just miserably volatile. You can't count on it then as a store of value. John Mackey said that Bitcoin produces no goods, no services and no cash flow. The Bitcoin critics also asked more than once this question how has Bitcoin made anyone's life simpler, easier or better? There really weren't any good answers to that question, and they even critiqued that with its fixed supply at 21 million will, then it cannot grow with the economy.   Keith Weinhold** ((00:38:21)) - -  And then what this can do is create deflation and depression. And I would like to adhere myself that each Bitcoin is already divided into 100 million tiny pieces called satoshis. And it might be able to be divided smaller than that eventually. But yeah, the Bitcoin critics won. It is quite a win for bitcoin, in my opinion, that this nascent digital asset that was only worth a few pennies 15 years ago when it came out, I mean, it was something that only cryptographers and digital geeks understood. Well, today you've got presidents discussing bitcoin. So it's certainly had some success just in branding and name recognition alone. That is just about a wrap from Freedom Fest this year here in Las Vegas, there were record breaking temperatures outside in the Mojave Desert in the middle of summer. Inside, it was a celebration of ideals like life, liberty, prosperity, and of course, freedom. Until next week, I'm your host, Keith Wendel.

It's Tuesday, May 28th A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 11 pastors jailed in Nicaragua Eleven evangelical pastors are in jail in Nicaragua and a warrant is out for the arrest of a U.S. missionary named Jon Hancock, reports International Christian Concern.  Six countries -- including Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Honduras, and Mexico -- have also agreed to extradite the missionary if arrested. At issue is a nationwide revival that occurred in association with the Mountain Gateway evangelical outreach.  A million people heard the Christian Gospel at eight events in 2023. Unbelievably, the pastors face 12-15 years in prison for their participation in the revivals.  And now, 58 members of the U.S. Congress signed a bipartisan letter addressed to the Ambassador of Nicaragua, expressing alarm over Nicaragua's violations of religious freedom. Additionally, House Resolution 1019, also introduced in February, expresses concern “that United States citizens affiliated with the Mountain Gateway ministry are being targeted for arrest and extradition by the Nicaraguan government.” Pray for the Christian pastors incarcerated in Nicaragua today. New Guinea landslide kills 2,000 A massive landslide in New Guinea may have taken the lives of as many as 2,000 people, reports the Post-Courier. The landslide destroyed most of Tulipana Village in Enga Province, at 3:00 am on Friday morning. This marks the deadliest natural disaster in the world for 2024 thus far.  Olympics spotlight drag queens The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics will feature three drag queens hoisting the Olympic torch. It's all in accord with the Olympic theme this year which is “Games Wide Open.” The International Olympic Committee has agreed to remove testing restrictions for male competitors who are pretending to be women. That  means any man can call himself a woman and compete in 38 out of 48 women's categories. The Olympic site is boasting of “full gender equality” this year. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo affirmed that “I am proud and, yes, Paris is proud, that a drag queen will carry the torch and the values of peace and humanity.” Blue states' low fertility rates The lowest fertility rates in the United States of America are now found in blue states, known for their leftist leanings, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vermont is the lowest at 1.35 children per woman, followed by Oregon and New Hampshire.  The blue states of Colorado, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island range between 1.4 and 1.5. Overall, the U.S. fertility rate is now 1.62, down from 3.6 in 1960. More potheads than lushes There are now more daily or near daily users of marijuana in the United States than daily users of alcohol.   Since 1992, the number of marijuana daily users has increased from 900,000 to 17.7 million.  Alcohol daily users have increased from 9 million to 14.7 million over the same time period. At this point, 74% of Americans live in states that have legalized pot. U.S. tornadoes and storms killed 21 In God's providence, more tornadoes and severe storms killed another 21 people in the U.S. over the weekend. Nearly 100 were injured and seven killed in a powerful tornado that struck near the Texas-Oklahoma border.  This is reported to be the most active tornado season in seven years, with 442 tornadoes so far reported for the month of May, according to Fox News.  Walmart pushes sexual perversion Some say, “Go Woke. Go Broke.” But now, Walmart has opened up its “Pride Always” line of products in commemoration of what has become known as June Pride Month.   A recent Fox News report pointed out that Target is pulling back on its Pride celebration, while Walmart is advancing the Pride agenda. “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” That's Proverbs 16:18. Randall Terry is Constitution Party presidential nominee Former Operation Rescue director, Randall Terry, is the Constitution Party's nominee for the 2024 presidential race. The pro-life activist declared, “The Democrats are running ON child killing.  The Republicans are running AWAY from child killing. We are running AT child killing, to END child killing!” However, the Constitution Party has never done better than 0.2% of the vote, and 0.04% of the vote in 2020.  According to its website, the Constitution Party is on the ballot in 12 states and is petitioning to be on more. In 2022, the party made it on the ballot in 15 states, including the battleground states of Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Homosexual activist clinches Libertarian presidential nomination And finally, Chase Oliver, a homosexual and political activist, won the Libertarian Party nomination for President over the weekend, reports CNN. He beat out former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., both attempting to secure the Libertarian vote. Kennedy received 19 votes and Trump received six. Chase Oliver received 497 votes in the final tally or 60%. He  supports the legalization of killing unborn babies and he is campaigning to abolish the death penalty for those who commit murder. Proverbs 17:15 reminds us that “He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 28th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Jn 5:1-16 - There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes. In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be well?" The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me." Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your mat, and walk." Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. Now that day was a sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat." He answered them, "The Man Who made me well told me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'" They asked him, "Who is the Man Who told you, 'Take it up and walk'?" The man who was healed did not know Who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd there. After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him, "Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you." The man went and told the Jews that Jesus was the One Who had made him well. Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because He did this on a sabbath.

One might assume abortion has always been a hot-button topic in American politics since the Supreme Court ruling legalizing it in 1973. But that is not the case. The US pro-life movement was so non-robust for many years that by 1987, abortion was not even one of the top 10 issues for American voters. Then suddenly, in ABC's 1988 election exit poll, abortion had shot to the number one issue for voters. What made abortion into a political litmus test so suddenly? Operation Rescue was what happened. Little remembered now, OR was, believe it or not, the largest civil disobedience in American history. Between 1987 and 1994, about 75,000 pro-life activists were arrested for peacefully interfering with abortion clinic operations - that's ten times more people arrested than in the entire civil rights movement. And though Operation Rescue quickly fizzled out in 1994 because of the Clinton administration's FACE Act (recently used to prosecute Mark Houck), it gave the pro-life movement the jump-start it needed to get us to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Arguably, were it not for Operation Rescue, the U.S. would be much like Europe, with even anti-abortion conservatives more or less accepting it as the "law of the land", and little political will to fight it. It is a great honor, then, to have the founder of Operation Rescue on the Catholic Culture Podcast. Randall Terry, who ran OR for its first few years and was arrested 50 times for his pro-life activism, is producing a documentary series, Dragonslayers, which will tell the history of OR using many hours of amazing footage that exists from the time. He is currently raising funds so that the series can be made. Randall joins the show to talk about OR and its decisive role in the history of the pro-life movement, the need for direct action in the pro-life cause today, and the political tools that will be indispensable for ending abortion in all 50 states - which he calls Randall's Rules for Righteous Revolution.

Should church leaders align themselves with one political party over another? What happens to those who do? When we put our trust in any candidate, party or ideology, we step away from God's calling and destiny upon our lives. Ministers are called by God to be societal change agents. When peoples' hearts change, then their actions change. Historically, revivals do not follow political actions. Good government follows revivals because the focus switches from self interest to honoring and serving God. I mention receiving a free book from Audible.com. You can get that here. I also invite you to give us an honest review at ITunes. Transcript of Today's Show Let’s do a little time travel. The year is 1984. Patti and I are at the beginning stages of planting a new church in a new city, holding services in the local elementary school. Nationally, the hot-button issue is abortion. Randall Terry has catapulted into the news cycle on every TV screen as the head of Operation Rescue. For those unfamiliar with this group, Terry enlisted thousands of volunteers to form human chains around abortion clinics. Their aim was to prevent pregnant women from entering by trying to convince them to keep the baby. In the process, they would hand out leaflets and argue with pro-choice demonstrators who also showed up. Because this activity was against the law, those forming a human chain were arrested and typically spent a night in jail in city after city. Eventually, Randall Terry spent more time in court than praying around clinics. So, why am I linking this event with today’s topic? In the middle of a Sunday church service at the elementary school auditorium one morning, a woman in her mid-fifties interrupted my sermons with a question. Not being used to people asking questions in the middle of service, I reluctantly acknowledged her. She stood up and said, “I just want to know one thing. Are you going to participate in Operation Rescue?” As a young pastor, I was taken completely off guard. “Why do you ask?” I inquired. “Well,” said she, “I am not going to attend any church that doesn’t get involved with Operation Rescue because those are the only Christians who really live their faith.” After a brief pause I replied, “No.” She got up in a huff and left never to return. Her message was clear. Unless I identified myself exclusively with a specific political organization, I was unfit for Christian ministry. Here in the US at the time of this podcast, we are ramping up for elections. The media obsesses with one candidate or another. In various democratic countries, you face similar dynamics depending on their election process. So, how does a pastor properly navigate political issues, candidates, or hot-button topics like abortion, gay marriage and social justice? It is really critical how you settle this issue in your mind and heart because how you answer will absolutely determine the direction of your life and ministry. I grew up in a large family with a father who loved to talk politics. Our dinner table nearly always involved some discussion about a candidate or controversial issue. It was not unlike my dad to see which way the wind was blowing among his kids so he could take the other viewpoint. I think he just liked the world of ideas in general. As a young pastor, I became a political junkie. What do I mean by that? When we got within a year of any election, before the Internet btw, large chunks of my time were spent watching television news, reading newspapers and listening to the radio whenever politics was discussed. I became an expert on what each candidate believed. Until the actual election, my gut was often tied up in knots, desperately hoping my candidate would win. I believed my candidate best represented Christian values. Sometimes my candidate won; other times they lost. Whenever a candidate lost, either locally or nationally, I went into days of depression. How would we survive as a city? What would happen to our country? I tell you, it was difficult to preach for a long time after one of my candidates lost. The interesting thing is that no matter who won, my life did not dramatically change and neither did the culture. It wasn’t like people became more or less Christian depending on who won the election. A few years ago, I attended a pastor’s prayer meeting. The assembled group of men in this case, belonged to one political party. Their prayers focused on binding the devil that they believed was preventing their mayoral candidate from getting into office. Evidently, the binding didn’t work, because their candidate lost the election in a landslide and their hopes were crushed. Ironically, a few months later, this new administration – the one they ascribed as the devil’s candidate - did more to advance the kingdom of God in their community than any mayor in history. Isn’t it just like God to expose our human wisdom as foolish? Whenever we put our trust in a candidate, a party or an ideology, we are stepping down from our calling. I am going to need to say that again. As a pastor or church leader you cannot afford to align yourself with democrats, republicans, libertarians or any other party. The moment you do, you step down from your calling. John Wesley said: “You have one business on earth – to save souls.” The moment you entangle yourself in politics, you lose your influence over at least half the population. A number of pastors back in 1984 got deeply involved in the pro-life movement. Before long most of their sermons centered on abortion as the single issue defining whether someone was godly or ungodly. However, that is not what the Bible teaches. I am not here to unpack the issue of abortion. Suffice to say, that the whole issue of abortion is tragedy and blight upon our nation, but it is broader than the act itself. A person doesn’t just show up at Planned Parenthood one day and have an abortion. Too many in the faith community were quick to judge the act without caring about the person who felt she had run out of options. Whenever a minister centers their attention on a particular issue or sin to the exclusion of all else, they lose their impact on those individuals caught in those sins. For example, if your church preaches against homosexuality, it is a pretty good bet that homosexuals or those struggling with sexual identity issues will stay clear of your church. Now perhaps you have a “we don’t want them here anyway” attitude, but I would challenge you. Is that what Jesus would do? Can you imagine Christ preaching against homosexuals or abortionists? We don’t see it in scripture at all. In fact, we never see Jesus grouping people into classes of sinners. He saw each person as a man, woman or child in need. When the woman was brought to him caught in adultery, he didn’t label her as a slut, but gave her dignity back. He addressed her saying, “Woman, your sins are forgiven.” Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. We know this because of how the religious leaders dealt with her in front of Jesus. We have no record of Christ labeling her however. Because he placed value on her in spite of her sin, Mary Magdalene became a devoted disciple eternally recorded in scripture. It is disheartening to see how Christians and even leaders use social media to either slam the President or attack the other political party. All you are doing is telling everyone with a different point of view: we don’t want your kind in our church. Is that honestly what you want to communicate to the world? Jesus frankly did not command us to engage in political action. He lived in extremely difficult times. Any Roman soldier could enter your house and make you work for free at any time of the day or night for as long as they wanted. We all know the story of how soldiers rode into Bethlehem and slaughtered children less than two years of age around the time of Jesus’s birth. No one in authority was ever punished and the citizens of Bethlehem had no recourse. Paul later taught the Roman Christians to submit themselves to higher authorities in government. We need to remember that most if not all of these authorities were extremely wicked men. Peter later affirmed repeated the same command. I am not suggesting pacifism in the face of injustice necessarily, but our calling as leaders is to influence and win people to Christ, not change political opinion. I have a favorite saying. Those who know me, hear me quote it often: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. When I see all this arguing on social media or attacks on radio or television, I take note of who actually changes the direction of his or her life. In fact, I’ve never found anyone whose life is changed by political attacks, criticisms or put downs. If anything, they become worse, as they dig in to defend themselves. Ministers are called by God to be societal change agents. When peoples’ hearts change, then their actions change. Revivals never follow political elections. Good government follows genuine revival because the focus switches to honoring and pleasing God. Prior to salvation, I was a decidedly pro-abortion. I could argue with you until I wore you out making my point. When Jesus came into my life, my heart changed. The attitudes and standards that shaped my thinking changed and eventually my views changed as well; not because someone talked me into their ideas, but because the washing of the water of the word of God transformed my way of thinking. So I ask you, pastor. Which is better? A changed mind or a changed heart? Which result fits your calling and job description? We live at an amazing time in history. If you are listening to this podcast from a part of the world that is a democracy, you have a say in who governs you. That is amazing and should not be taken lightly. As a pastor, I vote every opportunity I can; locally, regionally or nationally. That is my right and privilege. I also preach to our church that each person should go and vote their values. I can tell you with certainty that we have people both in our church and on our leadership who voted the opposite of each other on many occasions. Changes nothing. I respect your right to vote precisely the way you want to vote. It is not my business, except to support your right to do it. Let me go further. I deeply believe that God has appointed and anointed Christian men and women to enter the political arena as His ambassadors. I believe that calling is just as sacred and just as vital as the called to serve in full time church ministry. God appoints and anoints people to serve in a variety of different ways. Does that mean that Pastors need to stay on the sidelines regarding these important issues? Quite the opposite. We are in a position to actually do something about the problems of society. Which is better, spending 500 hours on social media speaking against abortion, or developing volunteers to help out at a local pregnancy adoption center? Which is more beneficial; complaining about everyone on welfare or supporting ministries to the homeless? A friend of mine we’ll have on the show in a few weeks, started a homeless shelter two years ago. 48 of the 55 men who came through his outreach have gotten jobs and become productive members of society. To me, that is what deserves time, respect, praise and money. A pastor’s political passion in terms of righting injustice should be channeled into bringing people together to actually impact society. We’ve all heard the old adage: talk is cheap. In actuality, talk is expensive. When we use our Christianity to put down, criticize, judge and marginalize people that we disagree with, we cause opportunities to share our faith to go away. That is expensive. 50 years ago, newspapers printed Billy Graham’s sermons in their entirety. Christian leaders garnered respect. What is the prevailing view of the church today? We’re known as judgmental, hypocritical and out of touch with peoples’ needs. While some of that reputation is unfair, much of it has been earned by choosing to be critics instead of rolling up our sleeves to help. I’m sorry to be preaching at you this morning, pastor. I want to see your ministry succeed, but so often leaders allow themselves to become sidetracked focusing on one or two political issues instead of the greatest message ever entrusted to man. One of the fascinating things we read about Daniel in the Old Testament who was given extraordinary influence politically, was his great heart for Nebuchadnezzar. Good old Nebu almost succeeded in murdering Daniel’s closest friends. He did succeed in destroying Jerusalem along with the temple, but notice what Daniel says in Daniel 4:19. God has just pronounced judgement against Nebuchadnezzar for his pride. With that judgment, you’d think Daniel would be overjoyed.  Daniel is charged with delivering the word to the king but listen to Daniel’s words: My lord, may the dream apply to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies! Daniel so loved this ungodly, arrogant king that it hurt him to hear about judgment coming his way. What do you suppose would happen if pastors began to feel this way about elected officials and all those in authority? If we loved them the way Daniel loved Nebuchadnezzar, they would probably respond in the same way. They would seek us out for counsel, prayer and direction. This current way of looking down our noses at political officials needs to stop – at least at the pastoral level. I let people on Facebook know. If they post political tirades day after day, I simply unfriend them. I don’t want that vitriol in my mind or heart. The Bible does not give us license to verbally attack political leaders; only pray for them. If we were better at what God asked us to do, perhaps we would also be happier with the results. In any case, I realize this is a little painful, but our show is about helping free you up from what binds. If we’re not careful as leaders, politics will distract our ministries from the many miracles that God truly wants accomplish through us. Finally, I would like to end today's show with another quote from John Wesley. He said this: “Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can.”
