<p>This week, special guest David Bahnsen joins Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Dan Hugger as they discuss inflation in America hitting a 40-year high. What’s driving the present persistent inflation? How is our present economic malaise different from our last bout of persistent inflation in the 1970s? How does political polarization hamper our ability to respond effectively to economic crises? The second half of the program is dedicated to a review and evaluation of the ongoing work of the January 6 committee, as well as the recent assassination attempt on Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh. What does the emerging tendency toward political violence say about America? How does our present partisan politics fuel this disturbing trend?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our podcasts</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/higher-unemployment-rate-looms-as-the-fed-fights-inflation-11655112600" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Higher Unemployment Rate Looms as the Fed Fights Inflation | The Wall Street Journal&nbsp;</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theres-No-Free-Lunch-Economic/dp/1637580142" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">There's No Free Lunch: 250 Economic Truths | David Bahnsen</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/06/09/us/jan-6-hearings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In First Jan. 6 Hearing, Graphic Footage and Stark Testimony Show Depth of Attack | The New York Times</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/10/business/media/james-goldston-january-6-committee.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Who Is the Former TV News Chief Helping the Jan. 6 Committee? | The New York Times</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/08/us/brett-kavanaugh-threat-arrest.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Armed Man Traveled to Justice Kavanaugh’s Home to Kill Him, Officials Say | The New York Times</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
