5.25 – #Capitalism, Constitutional Sound Bites, and David Harsanyi

2 great guests and 2 great segments:

Constitutional Sound Bites with David Shestokas

HausGuest – David Harsanyi

In David’s first return visit to the show, we had a GREAT conversation.

2. #SocialismKills by Matt Kibbe:
3. The White House massively expanded the population of those who will get overtime pay for working more than 8 hours in a day (which will FURTHER hobble the economy as a result of more meddling and regulating private workforce employment arrangements).
4. UCLA’s Daily Bruin just published an editorial criticizing the UC’s new illegal alien loan program as insufficient – creating uncertainty for students.
5. Another TrumpFail – he didn’t raise $6 million for vets (although he said he did) and he JUST gave $1 million of his own money to them (although it was said to have been done weeks ago)
