HS 145 – America: At the Brink with John Lott

Returning guest and author John Lott, in his new book, At the Brink: Will Obama Push Us Over the Edge?, sounds the alarm as he documents the economic challenges we face with four more years of an Obama presidency, and builds a case for fundamental change—the kind we need to save America. Jason Hartman interviews John to discuss where John sees permanent damage, such as healthcare, and the changes that he feels need to take place to restore quality of life and financial security to American citizens.
