Interview with Samuel Gregg America's entrepreneurial spirit is part of what defines its national character. Americans celebrate the notion that one can build a business from the ground up by virtue of sheer determination and perseverance, whether it's a neighborhood ice cream shop or a global auto company. This zeal for free enterprise quickly catapulted the country into an economic powerhouse and continues to captivate dreamers and innovators throughout the world. Yet America faces real obstacles to sustaining an environment that's ripe for entrepreneurship. Burdensome red tape, a dire debt crisis and the vast expansion of the administrative state are barriers to entry and growth for businesses.  Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Samuel Gregg, one the country's preeminent free enterprise scholars and a 2024 Bradley Prize winner. He shares his thoughts on how to keep America's entrepreneurial vitality strong, as well as insights into current economic debates. Samuel Gregg is the Friedrich Hayek Chair in Economics and Economic History at the American Institute for Economic Research. He has written and spoken extensively on questions of political economy, economic history, monetary theory and policy, and natural law theory. He's the author of 16 books, including his most recent book, The Next American Economy: Nation, State and Markets in an Uncertain World.  Topics Discussed on this Episode: America's support of free enterprise compared to other countries How entrepreneurial success stories have shaped Gregg's perspective Improving the climate and outlook for American industry Big Tech, woke capitalism and the weakening of the family How proponents of limited government can address the breakdown of civil society China's economic outlooks and lessons for the US The intersection of markets and morality The conditions that will allow the next generation of entrepreneurs to succeed What it means to win a Bradley Prize

#USA #ABORTION #REPENTANCE WEBSITE: WWW.THE-MASTERS-VOICE.COM Welcome to The Master's Voice End Time Prophecy Blog: (Hear the words of the Lord). Today's word: "Thou shall not murder" is one of the 10 commandments. (Exodus 20:13) Yet a wicked society not only sanctions murder of unborn babies, but also attempts to excuse it by redefining what truth, life, death, person and morality mean. Yah Almighty will no longer tolerate the harlotries and disrespect of Mystery Babylon, the United States, or New York City. Judgement has been declared against an immoral and rebellious nation, hear the words of the Lord.

The United States attorney, Merrick Garland, is willfully blind. He ignores Biden corruption will persecuting anyone associated with President Trump. His recent testimony before Congress proves his arrogance and his commitment to cover for the Biden crime family. He refused to answer questions, and when he did he he change the subject. May be the most stunning portion of his testimony was refusing to answer. The question is Hunter Biden, still selling access to his father Joe Biden, the President of the United States. It is clear Joe Biden is on the ropes. Both legally and politically. Yet America is not prepared for a free and fair election yet. Former republican candidate for governor in Arizona. Kari Lake just filed another lawsuit with brand new evidence of election fraud.  She joins us to discuss.

I applaud a 5th grade teacher for calmly shutting down trans activists: “You're just making it up.” But the real question is whether or not we should waste our time engaging with mentally ill people.  Now that the Debt Ceiling disaster is over the focus is back on Joe Biden. An informant alleging a $5 million bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden is reportedly a “highly credible” FBI source with a history dating back to the Obama administration era. Will anything actually happen to Biden? Each year, the People's Republic of China sends aloft thousands of spy balloons to hover over American universities. They are doing far more damage to our national security than the balloon we finally shot down. Yet America not only allows them to enter our airspace freely, but we actually encourage them to — in large part because they pay full tuition. Plus more on today's show.

With the Midterm Elections nearly complete, might this be the most diverse Legislation California has ever seen? Handel explains America's unique and enduring gun problem. And the Federal Student Loan Debt Relief Program has been halted yet again by the federal appeals court, putting Biden's plan on indefinite hold.

No Republican governor has been more vocal in his opposition to what he describes as “socialism” than Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis. “I stand against socialism,” DeSantis thundered in Florida's 2018 gubernatorial election. “Socialist policies have failed time and time again.”In June, DeSantis signed an education bill directing Florida's Department of Education to develop a curriculum educating students on the evils of socialism (as well as communism).But how exactly does DeSantis define “socialism?”One hint came in 2013, when as a freshman congressman he claimed that a federal bailout for the New York region after Hurricane Sandy was an irresponsible boondoggle. “I sympathize with the victims,” he said. But his answer was no.The House overwhelmingly passed the bill nonetheless, providing $9.7 billion in flood insurance aid for Sandy's victims. All 67 votes against the aid came from Republicans, including DeSantis. The Senate passed the bill too, although Florida Senator Marco Rubio also voted against the aid package.So, would DeSantis call any form of government assistance to those in need “socialism?”Apparently, DeSantis's definition is more elastic than this. As his state confronts the devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian, the fiercely anti-socialist DeSantis is asking the Biden administration for the help Floridians need — asking, in effect, for a form of social insurance that the United States government automatically provides Americans when disaster strikes. The administration has already put 1,300 federal response workers on the ground. It has pre-staged 110,000 gallons of fuel and 18,000 pounds of propane, and has readied 3.7 million meals and 3.5 million liters of water. And it has moved in generators and has 300 ambulances in the state working alongside local officials. Yesterday morning, DeSantis and Biden discussed further steps, including the issuance of a major disaster declaration that will provide Floridians with federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts. Residents of nine counties will also be eligible for individual assistance.“We all need to work together, regardless of party lines,” DeSantis told Fox News's Tucker Carlson, Wednesday night. “When people are fighting for their lives, when their whole livelihood is at stake, when they've lost everything — if you can't put politics aside for that, then you're just not going to be able to.”My point is not to accuse DeSantis of hypocrisy, but only to point out that a major disaster tends to focus the mind on why we need to “work together” rather than issue meaningless attacks on “socialism.”DeSantis's stance against “socialism” has been the Republican Party's harangue for a century.Long before Trump hijacked the GOP for his pathological narcissism, it stood for you're-on-your-own social Darwinism — and steadfastly against all forms of social insurance, which it termed “socialism.”In the 1928 presidential election, Democratic candidate Al Smith, then governor of New York, put it this way:“The cry of socialism has been patented by the powerful interests that desire to put a damper on progressive legislation. Is that cry of socialism anything new? Not to a man of my experience. I have heard it raised by reactionary elements and the Republican party … for over a quarter century.”“Socialism” was the scare word used by the Liberty League in 1935 when Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed Social Security. In 1952, President Harry Truman noted that “‘Socialism' is the epithet they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last twenty years.”Socialism is what they called public power … Social Security … bank deposit insurance … free and independent labor organizations … anything that helps all the people. When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan ‘down with socialism,' what he really means is ‘down with progress.'As a practical matter, what is the alternative to social insurance against hardship? It's a survival-of-the-fittest society in which only the richest and most powerful endure.Social insurance is what government is for -- pooling our resources for the common good. In contrast to the Republican's your-on-your-own social Darwinism, the Democrat's social insurance recognizes we're in it together. We can debate whether some forms of social insurance reduce some peoples' incentives to take reasonable precautions against potential hazards or cause some to become overly dependent on the government or undermine personal responsibility. But there is no debate that social insurance is critically important. We are in it together. Yet America spends very little on social insurance compared to other advanced nations. Almost 30 million Americans still lack health insurance. Nearly 51 million households cannot afford basic monthly expenses including housing, food, childcare, and transportation. We are the only industrialized nation without paid family leave. Many Floridians (and, as seems likely, residents of South Carolina and adjacent states) clearly need the help of their fellow Americans to weather this monster of a hurricane. And their urgent, palpable need should remind us how often we need one another — not just in a terrible hurricane, but through many unforeseen and terrifying hardships.Because of this, we have depended an institution that pools our national resources and helps those of us in need. It's called the federal government. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit robertreich.substack.com/subscribe

Semiconductors are the most important thing that you've never heard of. These little computer chips provide the processing power for everything from cars and iPhones, to unmanned drones and missiles. In Beijing's Made in China 2025 industrial strategy, through which China seeks to move up the value chain to become a high-tech superpower, semiconductor self-sufficiency was one of the targets.  Beijing is falling far behind on this target. MIC 2025 stated the aim of meeting 70 per cent of China's demand through domestic production by 2025, but, seven years on, it is only meeting 20 per cent of its domestic needs (by one estimate). The world's leading manufacturer of semiconductors is in fact in Taiwan. The Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company dominates more than half the global market, and controls 90 per cent of the cutting edge 5 to 10 nanometre sector (in this industry, size matters; the smaller the chip, the better). Even American companies like Intel outsource a substantial amount of production to TSMC. A tech arms race is underway.  In order to control the supply of this small but vital component, China and the US are desperately funnelling money into their own national champions, whilst 'kneecapping' each other's efforts, as my guest Nigel Inkster tells me on this episode. He's the former director of operations and intelligence at MI6 and author of  The Great Decoupling: China, America and the Struggle for Technological Supremacy . We discuss Washington's relatively effective efforts on this front – from instituting export controls on western companies (not just American) that supply Chinese semiconductor companies, to pressurising TSMC to share its know-how worldwide (TSMC will open an Arizona branch in two years, thanks to pressure from President Trump). It's got wolf warrior and Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian hopping mad; he has accused the American approach as being 'technological terrorism'. Yet America's approach could be instructive for the UK, where there's a live political question over the Chinese acquisition of Newport Wafer Fab, a relatively low-end semiconductor manufacturing site that is the subject of an ongoing national security review. Some in the West also fear that TSMC's success will lure China to invade Taiwan, while some in Taipei see the company as their 'silicon shield', Nigel says, as its accidental destruction (or at the hands of the Taiwanese or American governments) may deter China from an aggressive incursion. On the episode, Nigel and I discuss all this and more (whether China is inherently less innovative, how painful and inevitable a tech arms race would be, and Nigel's reaction to MI5 and the FBI's recent joint warning about Chinese espionage).

As people study 20th century history, they often ask, how could the German people have simply gone along with Hitler's horrific genocide? Likewise one must ask how America is mindlessly plodding forward with President Biden's master plan to force Electric Vehicles on America. There is little market and no infrastructure. No private plan or funding exists to create charging stations and EVs themselves cost people more in time, money and frustration. Yet America plods cluelessly toward this disaster in waiting. Why? 

In a new report, McKinsey & Company finds that Latinos increasingly embody the American Dream----from starting more businesses, seeing higher rates of intergenerational mobility, and achieving a larger share of skilled and higher-paid occupations in the past 10 years when compared to previous decades. Yet America's contribution to that dream is uneven, according to the new McKinsey report, "The Economic State of Latinos in America: The American Dream Deferred." The new McKinsey report finds that Latinos born in the United States enjoy higher wages and intergenerational mobility than foreign-born Latinos—suggesting Latinos may overcome the hurdles to full participation in their adopted country over time. Yet both US- and foreign-born Latinos remain far from equal with non-Latino white Americans. Latino Americans make just 73 cents for every dollar earned by white Americans. They face discrimination when it comes to securing financing to start and scale businesses. Latinos struggle with access to food, housing and other essentials. And their level of household wealth—which directly affects their ability to accumulate and pass on wealth from generation to generation—is just one-fifth that of white Americans. Furthermore, the pandemic continues to have a disproportionate impact on Latinos. McKinsey says there's no doubt Latinos are slowly being more fully integrated into the U.S. economy. Yet there's also no doubt there's a long way to go, especially for first-generation Latino immigrants. Please join us as we discuss this important report with two of its authors and other prominent Latinos, and focus on the opportunity we have to make the U.S. economy more robust for everyone.

Biden makes crack pipes available to homeless, BUT, Hydroxychloroquine/Ivermectin still not available to the masses!!!  Canadian trucker protestors are awakening the politicians with police state motives. Biden sends Kamala to Europe--Why not Hunter!?  China is about to be in your bed, in your pocket and in your mind! Remove anti-American Congressmen!Canadian protestors demand no facemask mandates and want medical privacy.   The inconsistency of care;  Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine still difficult to get from your doctor.   Calling out doctors who do not or cannot prescribe Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine BUT the government is handing out crack cocaine pipes!  56% of people in USA do not approve of Biden and his performance.  “Sleepy Joe” cannot complete a sentence. His policies are hard to follow and reflect the same inconsistencies. Biden-imposed tax =  Inflation @ 7.5% - Avg pay increases up only 5%. The difference is a Biden-imposed tax.  Biden lets Kamala go to Europe to engage with NATO on Russia-Ukrainian issues. Yet America's border remains wide open with no supervision.  Democrats scrambling on Covid 19 policies.  Shukri Abdirahman R-MN, ARMY VET running against US Congresswoman Rep Ilian Omar.   Abdirahman spent 3 years in a concentration camp in Somalia.

It's not always thought to be wise, most profitable, or popular. Doing the right thing has more to do with “COURAGE”; forged from the principles and beliefs given to you by your parents.

Within months of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, public health systems in the United States (and around the world) were stretched to the brink of destruction. The virus infected millions, killed hundreds of thousands, and effectively made the country stand still. Nineteen months later, the pandemic continues. Yet America was already in poor health before COVID-19 appeared. The country's failure to address many issues—marginalization and socioeconomic inequality among them—left the United States vulnerable to COVID-19 and the ensuing global health crisis it became. Sandro Galea's new book, The Contagion Next Time, describes the foundational forces shaping health in our society and how we can strengthen them to prevent the next outbreak from becoming a pandemic. Had the country tackled these challenges 20 years ago, after the outbreak of SARS, perhaps COVID-19 could have been quickly contained. Instead, we allowed our systems to deteriorate. Galea, as he did in his previous book, Well, challenges all of us to tackle the deep-rooted obstacles preventing us from becoming a truly vibrant and equitable nation, and reminds us at this critical time that a country's health is a public good worth protecting as much as the country's physical infrastructure.

How can we create a healthier world and prevent the crisis next time? In a few short months, COVID-19 devastated the world and, in particular, the United States. It infected millions, killed hundreds of thousands, and effectively made the earth stand still. Yet America was already in poor health before COVID-19 appeared. Racism, marginalization, socioeconomic inequality--our failure to address these forces left us vulnerable to COVID-19 and the ensuing global health crisis it became.

How can we create a healthier world and prevent the crisis next time? In a few short months, COVID-19 devastated the world and, in particular, the United States. It infected millions, killed hundreds of thousands, and effectively made the earth stand still. Yet America was already in poor health before COVID-19 appeared. Racism, marginalization, socioeconomic inequality--our failure to address these forces left us vulnerable to COVID-19 and the ensuing global health crisis it became. Had we tackled these challenges twenty years ago, after the outbreak of SARS, perhaps COVID-19 could have been quickly contained. Instead, we allowed our systems to deteriorate.  Following on the themes of his award-winning publication Well, Sandro Galea's The Contagion Next Time (Oxford UP, 2021) articulates the foundational forces shaping health in our society and how we can strengthen them to prevent the next outbreak from becoming a pandemic. Because while no one could have predicted that a pandemic would strike when it did, we did know that a pandemic would strike, sooner or later. We're still not ready for the next pandemic. But we can be--we must be.

Joe Biden now has an interesting cough situation during his speeches. Nicki Minaj has some words about American cancel culture. An incredible Pathead, Scott Martin, (@WeAreDOOOOMEDD on Twitter) put together a well-thought-out video montage of Pat Gray's new greatest hits album. There is another border crisis: Thousands of Haitians are camping and sleeping under a long highway overpass. The numbers show that ivermectin is proving to work in India: The country has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world per capita and still has incredibly low COVID cases and deaths. Yet America's leadership is against it because Trump was/is for it. The guys who created the drug, William Campbell and Satoshi Omura, won the 2015 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. CNN's Don Lemon said, “They are stupid ... and it's time to start shaming them,” when talking about the unvaccinated. More On Trivia: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens. A third-world country promises you at least 12 days of immunity from a third vaccine booster shot. So the Earth is flat and now the sun is “small and local"? Learn more about your ad choices.

America is experiencing a four way crisis and there is no one in command who can change things. It is September 2020 and we are still in the middle of what use to be a worldwide pandemic. It appears that other countries have taken this crisis serious enough to do something about it. Yet America's leaders are using this pandemic like a political checkers game. The guys who sits in the seat of the president has spent the last four years telling Americans over 20,000 lies about everything including his support for the military. The same military that he got five deferment from and the same one he has been quoted as calling our servicemen fools and losers for joining. We are in an economic slump due to the virus with unemployment in the millions and climbing. Because of the support our resident in charge is giving to dictators, white supremacist and white nationalist, America is reliving the error of the Jim Crow. We have police officers killing unarmed black people at an alarming rate and going unpunished. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/toni-yeayah/support

Seven Miracles That Saved America: Why They Matter and Why We Should Have Hope by Chris Stewart and Ted Stewart  "When the odds were stacked against us, and there have been many times when the great experiment we call America could have and should have failed, did God intervene to save us?"That question, posed by authors Chris and Ted Stewart, is the foundation for this remarkable book. And the examples they cite provide compelling evidence that the hand of Providence has indeed preserved the United States of America on multiple occasions. Skillfully weaving story vignettes with historical explanations, they examine seven instances that illustrate God's protecting care. Never, at any of these critical junctures, was a positive outcome certain or even likely. Yet America prevailed. Why?"No man is perfect," write the authors. "And neither is any nation. Yet, despite our weakness, we are still, as Abraham Lincoln said, the best nation ever given to man. Despite our faults, this nation is still the last, best hope of earth." In short, God still cares what happens here. This reassuring message is a bright light in a world that longs for such hope. This Audio selection serves as an introduction to this fine book.

From the denial of education for Black people to school segregation, the American education system is rooted in systemic racism. Yet America still places blame on the very children affected by this racism.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor sunk multiple ships and killed over 2,000 people at the Naval Base on Oahu. As soon as it happened, it appeared that Japan had brought America into World War II. Yet America's formal declaration of war was so important and crucial that President Franklin Roosevelt went before a joint session of Congress to urge a declaration of war the next day. Roosevelt's speech, in which he famously said that the Japanese attack would make December 7, 1941 "a date which will live in infamy," built a case for America already being at war with Japan. After dealing with a significant isolationist movement in America and a disinterest in participating in a second World War, Roosevelt's urging was key. Immediately after his 7 minute speech, the Senate and the House took up the vote. The Senate unanimously voted for the Declaration of War by a margin of 82-0; the House voted for it by a margin of 388-1. Only the pacifist Jeannette Rankin refused to vote for the declaration. The entry of the United States of America would turn the tide of the war significantly, changing the shape of the conflict.

4/4 American democracy can easily frustrate change. The country's Constitution is almost impossible to amend. The many interest groups swirling through Congress often paralyse or colonise it; and corralling 50 states is often beyond the capacity of the most able president. Yet America has been home to a string of popular movements across the last two centuries that have brought vigour and change to what otherwise might have been a sclerotic political system. It mattered, of course, that the country was born in revolution, meaning that popular resistance, beginning with the original Tea Party in Boston Harbour, is part of the nation's DNA. We encounter the passion of America's insurgents and the turbulence their movements generated. We begin with the struggle by African-Americans to end slavery. We continue with the titanic battles between labour and capital in the 1930s over the rights of workers and the obligations of government to regulate the economy in the public interest. And we conclude with an exploration of two 21st-Century movements: the modern-day Tea Party and the campaign for gay rights and same-sex marriage. We hear from veterans of these struggles in Ohio, California, Michigan, and New York; with museum curators in Cincinnati and Boston who are preserving and interpreting the history of past struggles; and with historians and other experts who can help us to make sense of the successes and failures of these movements, and of their role in sustaining, convulsing, and changing American democracy.
