David is joined by his favorite, and yours, Renè Aninao of Corbu, as the last guest of 2024. All they do is discuss oil and the dollar as weapons of geopolitical interest, the Xi-Putin-Saudi trades that make sense for markets, and the way in which low-propensity young white male voters can become satisfied with the Trump 2.0 economy. Other than all that, it's just fun and games.

Episode 199: 2025 Policy Impact on Markets
David is joined once again by Dan Clifton, head of policy research at Strategas Research, for a thorough discussion of what to expect in 2025 in the aftermath of the 2024 election: tariffs, trade, taxes (lots and lots of tax discussion), deficits, and so much more. We started 2024 with a huge discussion with Dan, and this new interview with him is a perfect way to begin closing out the year.

Episode 198: Cabinet Economics
David is joined this week by our very own Dominic Pino of National Review to analyze each and every cabinet nominee from President-elect Trump related to economic policy thus far, from Energy to Commerce to Treasury and others. This leads to a discussion on higher education, bureaucracy, spending, transportation, and more. I honestly don’t know what could be more fun, besides recording it, than listening to this episode.

Episode 196: Markets and Their Limits
David is joined again today by Michael Matheson Miller of the Acton Institute, and they continue their robust talk about what markets can do, what they cannot do, what the moral implications of these things are, and much more. The theology is thick (the corrupting impact of sin), the controversy is real (is creative destruction a “tension” or an “evolution”), and the clarity is infectious (mistakes of the moment are repudiated). As all the talks with Miller have been, this is an all-time Capital Record best!
American prosperity was built on a foundation of free markets and free people. But, with inflation on the rise and a struggling market, many in America’s political class are attempting to recycle failed socialist ideas and calling for government intervention in nearly every aspect of American life. In this National Review Capital Matters podcast, presented by the National Review Institute, financier David Bahnsen hosts interviews with the nation’s top business leaders, entrepreneurs, and financial commentators. Tune in to hear guests such as Larry Kudlow, Steve Forbes, and Art Laffer present a practical and moral vindication of America’s capitalist way of life.
