Full Program

Part 1

Part 2

Then following Romney’s disdainful remarks that reveal contempt for almost half of America’s citizens, we look into the extent to which Mitt appears to be outdoing his running mate Paul Ryan in channeling Ayn Rand. Gary Weiss, an award-winning investigative reporter for BusinessWeek and author of “Ayn Rand Nation: The Hidden Struggle For America’s Soul” joins us to discuss the beleaguered "makers" who have risen above the worthless masses of "takers"- those who lack the initiative to better themselves and prefer to mooch off the successful of the world upon whose shoulders rests the burden of enterprise that subsidizes these ungrateful dependents.

Part 3

Then finally Pulitzer prize-winning author Hedrick Smith joins us to discuss his latest book “Who Stole the American Dream”. We examine the shift in the last few decades in which a greater and greater percentage of the nation’s wealth has been concentrated in the hand of fewer and fewer of the ultra-wealthy, while the American dream has become more difficult for the middle class and impossible for working Americans to attain.
