So it’s not every day you get to sit down with a bona fide presidential candidate face to face and ask whatever you want. In our case, we got to do it TWICE in one day! Very fun.
Now whatever you political bent, the issue isn’t what YOU think SHOULD happen. What we’re interested in is what the people who will be shaping the debate, if not actually running the show in 2013, are thinking.
Our two guests happen to be Republican candidates, so if you’re on the other side of the fence, just hold your nose and listen anyway. The more info you have, the better you’ll be able to invest. Again, you don’t have to agree, you just need to understand the possibilities. And if you know a Democratic candidate who wants to be on the show, let us know! All viewpoints are welcome. 🙂
Behind the illustrious silver microphones in our spacious, upscale mobile studio (including folding chairs and table):
- Your presidential host, Robert Helms
- Your vice-presidential co-host, Russell Gray
- Special Guest, Director of Economic Research for the Reason Foundation, Anthony Randazzo
- Special Guest, Two Term Governor of New Mexico and current Presidential Candidate, Gary Johnson
- Special Guest, Businessman and Presidential Candidate, Herman Cain
When you’re an elected official, you have a bazillion thinks to think about. And you need a lot of help thinking. It’s kind of like being a busy real estate investor. You need to have a team of people who stay on top of changes in landlord law, taxes, mortgage guidelines, credit scoring, asset protection and estate planning – just to name a few!
So we kick off this show talking to Anthony Randazzo, a big brain whose job it is to study, think and advise on economic matters. One of the things Anthony studies are GSEs (Government Sponsored Enterprises, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).
If you’ve been paying attention, you know that Fannie and Freddie play a major role in U.S. housing (and the bond markets), were very much at the center of the mortgage meltdown, and have lots of people in Washington who’d like to see them go away. Kind of like how Ron Paul wants the Fed to go away. It may never happen, but if it did it would change a lot things we take for granted as real estate investors. So, it’s important to pay attention to what the big brains and the politicians (not that the two are mutually exclusive :-)) have to say.
Then we talked to Gary Johnson and Herman Cain. We won’t paraphrase those conversations here, but you can be sure we asked about jobs and real estate. And of course, we asked what they thought needed to happen to create more jobs. And unlike many shows, we let them talk. We found it very interesting and we think you will too!
