In this episode, we wanted to bring in a unique lens on pro-liberty and capitalism in the media with journalist and economic analyst Brad Polumbo . Mike & Brad cover a lot of ground and explore how young people often identify with their understanding of a freedom ideology, but are frustrated and not wanting to associate with political parties. They discuss the evolving media and mostly biased coverage, policy makers not being held accountable for horrific COVID policies, public schools and colleges nurturing an anti-individual, anti-capitalist approach. While understanding the alienation young citizens are experiencing, Brad provides a positive, often humorous and entertaining message. Brad Polumbo Media: Instagram X (Twitter) YouTube…
