Dan Haley, CEO of the Colorado Oil & Gas Association, addresses several anti-oil & gas bills as part of his critique of what he describes as an extreme, radical, activist agenda at the Colorado legislature and governor’s office. He argues that this agenda is anti-human, anti-life, and anti-American, pointing out that there are significant themes with multiple pieces of legislation aimed at advancing these extreme agendas. Listen to the full show in the first hour.

Interview with Kurt Gerwitz on Bitcoin in El Salvador

Professor Kurt Gerwitz shares his perspective on Bitcoin in El Salvador. In 2021, El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender, a move that has led to various complications and ongoing developments. This decision has piqued significant interest in regulatory frameworks for Bitcoin, especially as its use becomes more widespread, including in the United States. As the U.S. proposes its own regulations for Bitcoin, there’s a growing concern about its interference in international affairs, particularly in areas where it previously had no involvement. Such interference often leads to negative repercussions, not only for the countries directly involved but also for U.S. citizens. The issue highlights the broader implications of U.S. involvement in the internal decisions of other nations. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.

Thomas Sowell

Thomas Sowell is an influential American economist, social theorist, and senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Born in North Carolina in 1930 and raised in Harlem, Sowell’s scholarly work spans a range of topics, including economic history, social policy, ethnic relations, and political philosophy. His writings often challenge conventional economic and social theories, advocating for free-market economics and critiquing the impact of government intervention.

Sowell’s seminal works, such as “Basic Economics,” “The Vision of the Anointed,” and “Race and Culture,” provide insightful analyses that encourage readers to reevaluate their assumptions about society and economics. His approach emphasizes empirical evidence and historical context, making complex ideas accessible and compelling. A prolific writer, Sowell has also contributed widely to debates on education, immigration, and race relations, consistently promoting a rigorous examination of the facts rather than adherence to popular trends. His intellectual rigor and outspoken views have made him a pivotal figure in contemporary discussions on economics and public policy.
