Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning into the Liberty Report.

With us today, we have Daniel McAdams, our co-host.

Daniel, good to see you this morning.

Good morning, Dr. Paul. How are you doing this morning?

Doing well, doing well.

I want to start off with a couple comments about the economy,

and it's not doing as well as the government's claiming,

or at least the administration part of the government.

You'll find some Democrats that will complain, but that's all politics. But I did find a neat little

summary of, I think, the disaster were facing. It came on Hedge. Can't be too surprised that Hedge

is reporting a reasonable news news and this came out today

and Michael Snyder is listed as the author.

And the title to this Daniel is this is the number one challenge that Americans believe

they are facing in 2025. And that caught my attention so so I wanted to see if I agreed with them, and I do.

And it has to do with economic policies.

And I can remember, I think it was back, a few presidential campaigns,

but I think I might have been back with the Goldwater campaign or something like that.

There was an argument of whether you vote from your head or vote from your heart.

And voting from your heart was supposed to be superior and voted for your head was supposed to

solve problems by some assessments. But I always argued they're both wrong.

I said the real vote comes from their stomach.

You know, if they think they're going to have an empty stomach
