The best moderator you don’t notice, the guests are the stars, just steer them in the right direction.

The kind of quality in-depth debate we never see on CNBC....... well done David... ❤

Two economic titans having a great discussion. Both in their twilight years, but both sharp as ever. It was a joy to watch.

Both of these men are absolute icons in their area of expertise. I graduated high school in 1987 in Maryland, both these men were discussed in our teachings of current events. Excellent debate allowing the two stars to shine as they both deserve. Art Laffer still has the spirit of the Reagan days with his jokes and ability to slice through sensitive topics. I still look back at Reagans many jokes and how he brushed off opposition while cracking a joke in the next breath. Absolute brilliant display of wisdom and knowledge from our elder professionals. More intelligence between these two men than the entire white house today.

This was comedy gold. Even David Lin got in on it: "Connecticut... is a state a lot of people want to move to." And Laffer has an Obamaphone. These guys are where I want to be when I'm 83.

David Lin with another high caliber debate.

David, you have to bring Laffer back, he's great.

David, thank you. You do have the best financial podcast on KZfaq. The ability to get these esteemed gentlemen together is awesome and appreciated.

This was one of the best shows! Economic intellectuals demonstrated that staying sharp well into your 80s doesn't require a technology device.

Art laffer is the man! Bring him back for his property tax theory!!

Before watching this I know we're in for a great show and likely humorous. Love professor Henke

I never would have thought Dr. Hanke was older than 70.

Art's 83! Damn... he's sharp as a tack and looks good for 83.

These two guys are GREAT. Thanks for having them on.

Commented early just to say that I am looking forward to this. David is a great moderator and people respect him.

Art Laffer is such a badass, I'd be friends with him in an instant.

This is the one i was waiting for David you have the best guest best show

Two amazing minds with a moderator of the highest caliber. Thank you David so much for these. We continue to learn.

All-star guests this time! What a privilege to live in a time where you can listen to their wisdom with one click :-)

The best moderator and guest every time. This channel is gold!

The great John T. Flynn was once introduced as an Economist. He was then asked what is it an economist does. He was actually a trained lawyer, a graduate from Georgetown. He quipped "God knows, ask him!"

Excellent again. I watched it twice. These guys are national treasures!!!

Nobody else doing this. Great work David.

🥊🧠OLDIES but GOODIES🥊🧠

I felt as though I had a front row seat on the truth of economic and money reality....then a second later I realised I did. Amazing. Best discussion I've seen in years.

By far, the Steve Hanke interview with another person on the Panel is invaluable. We learn a lot.

Thank you so much. Mr. David Lin, Dr. Arthur Laffer and Mr. Steve Hanke.

The U.S.A. today : Wealth is based on the family you are born into, who you are friends with and who you are friends with. 😅

Mr Laffer and Proff. Hanke are two completely opposite characters that are both very intelligent and experts in their field. Their understanding of how economy works and how each parameter affects it is so eye opening. David you are a great host and you know how to pick the right guests 👏 I truly wish i could some day meet you all in person.

Professor Hanke is the man!!! 81

Steve ...sadly correct..our country needs to grow some balls . Were cow towwing

2 of my favorite. Glad to see they're friends! Nice work Mr Lin!

Amazing. I had a great time with both of them. Amazing interview. Loved it!

81, and 83, I’m 64, and you two look great. So do I.

What an amazing conversation. Your channel is a gem, David.

OMG ! You 3 gentlemen together are a Gold Combination ! Thank you so much !

Incredible discussion with two living legends!

Podcast of the month, these 2 need need to be a bigger platform.

That’s why we love your channel David. Just keep doing what you’re doing in bringing the best financial and economic minds we have and giving them a forum to discuss and debate their views. Thank you 🙏.

Beautiful interview, so powerfull thinkers! Thanks a lot David!

Damn David. You’re getting some class A mofos to debate. Love it. Serwus!

Just awesome!!! I have the utmost respect for all three of these fine gentlemen.

Great Job interviewing these two guys David...very educated intelligent conversation

I remember playing a civilization building game that incorporated the Laffer curve into the economics of the game. You built cities and collected resources like many games, but one of the functions of the game was taxation of the cities. The way it worked was, you had to attract population to the city to create workers or military. If you lowered taxes population would increase faster and workers would produce resources faster. If you raised taxes above 30% your cities would begin losing population and workers produce less resources. The peak efficiency was 30% however most players kept tax rates at 0% to attract population the fastest and sell resources to get gold instead of taxing. If you were fighting a war you always wanted to put taxes to 0% so that you could recruit military faster. There was a strategy to collect some gold quickly which was to build up thriving cities then increase taxes to 50% and for a short time you could collect more gold but your population would start leaving and resources and military would decline so you had to do it for only short periods at a time. If you raised taxes over 80% your population would rebel and destroy your own cities after a while and military would desert. It was a really interesting game.

this is some first level stuff you have going on here. you have definitely stepped up your game man!!

Wow Dynamic interview! Two legends....Thank you

USDA SNAP cards are the invisible bread lines from the 1930s. About 12% of the US population is in those invisible bread lines. The percentage may actually be higher as many children don't directly hold SNAP cards, but are part of the overall population.

That was absolutely awesome, loved them both!!!!!

What a pleasure gentlemen - I thought everyone had lost their sense of humor already.

God damn Art is sharp for 83 insane!!!!

Gold will always have fundamental value because it is the best conductor of electricity. It doesn't tarnish, rot, rust or spoil and it can easily be identified, tested, measured and divided. It's only problem is that it can't be sent at the speed of light.

Best podcast on the planet hands down 👏 ❤

You hit a home run with this interview. In my opinion, these are two of the best economist, and they gave very insightful responses to the questions.

The only guest on Lin's show worth listening to

First. And Hanke is my favorite

David, you have done many excellent interviews. This style is your best. And two legends at the same time! These guys gave us all the answers we need.

Laffer really lives up to his name. Appreciate his vibes

David, I watch you shows more and more.. Really enjoyable. Thanks

Jimmy Carter is the one that brought in Volker. He did the hard work during his presidency and then Reagan benefited from lowering interest rates and from massive increases in the federal debt spending. Reagan is the beginning of the massive debt problem and wealth gap problem we have now

David, you nailed this interview with these great guests.

What a treat, Mr. Lin. You are going from strength to strength and attracting great guests.

It doesn't get any better than that. Great work, David!

D Lin!! Holding it down! Show is 2nd to none

This historical context is so vital to pass onto all of us. Need to disseminate their legacy of facts, data and patterns; so we do not repeat the mistakes. Those who do not know history, are destined to repeat it. I choose to learn, grow and hope! Ty gentlemen!

I wonder when David Lin is going to land a big contract with some of these big news platforms.

When 2 men this caliber are BOTH being interviewed by an entrepreneural REAL journalist, you drop whatever your in the middle of and listen. Great video!

We are blessed to hear such great wisdom. It is a shame that these strategies are not implemented right now. Can't somebody get this to people in power?

Thank you so much David for bringing these gentlemen on the show.

Legend's, intelligent wise men with a great sense of humour. I can listen to them for hours. ❤❤❤❤

I must say, as a residential developer in the 70s in California, the raging inflation was behind Prop 13, skyrocketing yearly appraisals were running people from their homes.

UNBELIEVABLE GUESTS!!!! HANKE AND LAFFER. ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀

Fantastic! Two old knights fighting it out. Learned so much. Thank you.

Whoa. Laffer and Hanke? Wow.

We are blessed to watch two living legends right now!!!

First class podcast Well done David.

Dr. Laffer, I laughed at your Kermit joke. I hope I’m as sharp as you guys should God allow me to get to your vintage.

Both look and have great attitudes

This is the BEST interview put by this show EVER!!!

These two are super enjoyable to listen to. Thank you David.

Thank you gentlemen. I was waiting a long time for this!

🚨SILENT🚨DEPRESSION🚨

I really enjoy these two learned gents. Also credit to you for allowing them the space to engage and elaborate on some key themes. Thank you David

These two gentlemen can fix the USA. How can we expose them to the next President as permanent advisers. Send this episode to DT in USA & PP in Canada!

"Hello David. I regularly watch your videos and express my gratitude for your work in highlighting many issues in interviews with a large number of intelligent people. However, what keeps me restless is this... the large number of intelligent, wealthy people, doctors, and professors, great minds from all over the world who live and work in the USA are discussing how America is speeding towards a concrete wall. And here I am puzzled. What is the point of all these professors and their life's work, intelligent people from around the world, if the country is heading for a concrete wall? What is the purpose of their words? Aren't they all so smart to ensure they prevent the country from falling into the abyss?"

I just heard an interview with professor wolf and none of this was brought up. A real interview with actual thoughts. Thank god.

Amazing show with these two economists!! Thank you, David!

One of the best most informed interviews I've heard in a long time! Two thumbs up 👍👍 stands to reason!

"Everything is cheaper" and no one has a job.. Or, loses all of their labour standards.

The best guests today. Thank you

DAVID. Almost everyone one of these "podcast?" you release is better then the last.

An interview with professor Werner and professor Hanke would be amazing!

Arthur Laffer! How awesome! We don't see him enough anywhere!!!!

🚨BLACK🚨SWAN🚨SEASON🚨

Looking forward to Good discussion

Always enjoy listening to Steve. He looks and sounds no more than 60.

David….you just keep killing it! Great content! I’ve watched you since you took over for Neals at Kitco and you just keep getting better

Great interview and discussion. Brilliant guests.

The government was funded by tariffs until the institution of the FED and income tax. During tariffs the country boomed and under the FED, well answer for yourself.

Anyone else play the drinking game, “guess David’s daily hairstyle - How manic will it be?” Besides it leading to one heck of a bad drinking habit, …these are great interviews! Keep ‘em coming!

These are historic talks. Well done David. So freaking proud of you brother. And men, absolute pleasure. I wish we had more leaders in all areas like you. Even if they disagree, the ability to have productive discourse across different opinions is critical for us to get out of this mess. Thank you. Truly.
