4.28.16 – GDP Growth Fail, Milo, Hastert, Trump, Cruz, and HausGuest Matt Brouillette

WAY too much to talk about today – plus a fantastic guest – and 60 minutes FLEW by!

Listen to the entire show here:

My guest today was Matt Brouillette, the President and CEO of the Pennsylvania-based Commonwealth Foundation. They are a free-market think tank and public policy advocacy group.

Matt and I discussed the motivations and opportunities – as well as significant challenges – of advocating for liberty and freedom in Pennsylvania’s state government. This is a man in the trenches of affecting positive change in government and our discussion was incredibly interesting.

Sort-of side note: Matt and I have been friends since junior high school – going back to 1981!

Here’s the isolated interview segment:

Other topics:

1. U.S. economy grew during the first quarter at an annualized rate of 0.5%. Absolutely sclerotic.
2. Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was sentenced to 15 mo’s for “bank fraud,” but the whole situation is VERY complicated with TONS over which to object.
3. Student Social Justice Warriors heads explode at U-Mass during a talk by Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder, and Christina Hoff Summers:
4. Watch the entire talk here (and I strongly recommend it):
5. Former IU coach Bobby Knight just endorsed Donald Trump
6. So did John Boehner said he’d NEVER vote for Ted Cruz because he’s “Lucifer in the flesh” and that he’s “never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch” in his life. How many Trumpaloompas have “John Boehner is what’s wrong with the GOP” posts in their social media timeline?
7. Ted Cruz just announced his choice for Vice President: Carly Fiorina
