Summary

“We all know from the research, from the history, that it is free markets that do what we all want and provide what we all want to have as a country,” says Chris Cargill of the Washington Policy Center. “And yet younger generations, many of whom were born after the fall of the Berlin Wall, are looking more longingly toward this socialism idea.” Now the Washington Policy Center is trying to change how young adults perceive socialism and free markets with the “Free Market Destroy” campaign. The free market, Cargill explains, “destroys all the things that we hate, that especially younger generations hate, like climate change, high rents, hunger, disease, boredom, all the things that we as a society despise and want to improve upon.” We also cover these stories: · Close to 100 million Americans cast their votes before Election Day. · Businesses around the country are boarding-up their windows in anticipation of post-election violence. · The US Marshals Service found 27 missing children in Virginia. “The Daily Signal Podcast” is available on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Pippa, Google Play, and Stitcher.
