iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

You may not know his name, but you know his work and his words. Like "climate change" instead of "global warming," and "death tax" instead of "estate tax" -- he's really helped position policy for voters.

Let us know what you think: is our country in decline, or are you optimistic about the future? Leave a message: 929-224-4637
