Benjamin Williams, or PraxBen as he's known online, joins us to share his successful strategies with Gen Z.

According to Peter Rex, who's been in real estate for 16 years and has purchased and managed over 20,000 properties, "Big Tech leadership has lost its social license to lead. They’re focused on extracting value, rather than creating it; muzzling dissent rather than freeing our voices; oppressing rebels rather than being the rebel." He seeks to be part of a movement to change that.

One of this year's winners of the Nobel Prize in economics, David Card, co-authored the notorious Card-Krueger study of the minimum wage, which appeared to turn the conventional economic wisdom about the effects of minimum wages on its head. Peter Klein of Baylor University joins us to discuss what's gone wrong with economics such that we've reached the point where economists, rather than describing the constraints on what politics can accomplish, have become cheerleaders for the state.
