The Welcome to the Charles C. W. Cook podcast on which every week I speak so slowly that you start to

look into whether there are any podcast apps that play audio at four or five times the

speed at which it was recorded. I know if you could somehow combine me and Ben Shapiro you'd get someone who speaks at a normal

Perhaps I want to get some of that cocaine that's apparently just lying around all over the White House.

My first sponsor today is CEIs Free The Economy Podcast. Today is free the economy podcast. Health, wealth and happiness. Three goals that are

essential to our lives, but attaining them is often impeded by heavy-handed government controls.

That's why we must free the economy.

Free the economy is a weekly podcast produced by the Competitive Enterprise Institute

that documents the opportunities for financial success and self-fulfillment in a world with less government control.

How can smart urbanism improve our lives?

Where is economic freedom under attack?

How can we unleash the potential of small business owners and innovators?

Each week host Richard Morrison offers news you can use and fascinating conversations

with experts in their fields to answer these questions and more.

I think we can all agree that freedom is contagious.

So check out free the economy wherever you listen to podcasts or visit CEI.org forward slash free the economy.
