David Bahnsen always speaks truth as he sees it and his wisdom is very much worth the time it takes to listen to. He was on fire in this episode and, providentially, it was excellent timing for us to hear it. So thankful for this podcast!

Well then…. I haven’t heard quite that much passion on the CR before. Although much was over my head I learned a bunch! Viva la CR

Ep. 282 is terrific! The state—not free markets is responsible for alienation and isolation. Civic and social organizations are stronger with a purpose. A larger welfare state crowds out the purpose of charity and for community engagement.

One of my favorite economic podcasters talking about one of my other favorites. David Bahnsen and Scott Galloway should join forces.

All this turns out to be just a year long complaint about tariffs, quite sad.

They should play this at the beginning of every lecture in every economics, regulatory, law, marketing, finance, basket-weaving, gender studies class on every college campus, in all of the US ad infinitum. Unfortunately, we are raising generations of children who a) remain children well into adulthood, and b) think the fix for every perceived injustice is government regulation and more laws. What a blessing to have your voice in the midst of this insanity.

These short episodes are dense; a bit like a Tabata workout. Hang on to your vocabulary and don’t multitask. Grateful for someone who can articulate worldview, first principles and Christian ethics.

I don’t like the changes to this podcast. The hour long interview format was a lot more interesting and insightful, especially with guests he took exception with. I certainly don’t agree with David Bahnsen on everything but enjoyed the show for his knowledge and intellect. Now the show is just a soapbox for him to complain for about 10-12 minutes. Boring.

i am a physician and have been listening to this podcast for years to educate myself you can be more miserably wrong regarding rfk and the maha movement there are plenty of specifics ! it is about accountability not creating big pharmaceutical as an oppressor at all. also your example of ketruda while ignoring other obvious malfeasance of pharmaceutical companies is pathetic i wont be listening to you anymore .

David is a very underappreciated and yet huge assett. Always worth hearing.

I am always grateful for this podcast! The interview with Barry Rowan is spectacular! —John Winter

I listened twice and “rewound“ several times throughout. Thanks David and Rene.

Enjoyed the episode with Rene Aninao - need an update now that Biden dropped off since the prediction that Biden will win can’t be true 😎

Just listened to a great episode with Darren Diane and David Shannon. Really helpful content that I absolutely appreciate! -Jon

Listening to David and his guests, especially the episode with Louis, very enlightening to hear various economical perspectives and the defense of free markets.

David is at the top of his game when discussing key economic and financial topics on his show. He’s a must listen to understand the latest news about the economy and politics.

While I admire and respect your moral and religious beliefs, I find your core economic, financial, and investing narratives much more compelling. these are the subject matters in which you have demonstrated expertise…religion, and philosophy, not so much. For what it’s worth, I consider myself a very religiously observant individual, but I tend to have those conversations one-on-one with people who are truly interested and not as part of a public platform. Keep up the great work!

Capital Record is always a must listen to podcast for me. I have always found David’s commentary and guest interesting, thought provoking, and well worth my time. It’s an excellent podcast that I highly recommended!

Being a mortgage professional in the finance space it's been inperitive to guide clients. This podcast has been so helpful for us in the fight against inflation along the way with rising mortgage rates. At times, I have to rewind and consider the thoughts to apply to my clients but it's always ahead of most outlets I can find. Truly enjoy this every week.

Every time

David Bahnsen has a talent for expressing his very smart and well-informed views on markets.

Capital Record is a staple in my podcast listening. I always leave having learned something and wanting to learn more about markets. Mr. Bahnsen is a terrific host.

Just finished listening to session 107 “ Your Money,Your Values”. Brought me much helpful information regarding ESG and it’s impact upon our small businesses. Contacted my money manager insisting he find other retirement investments other than Blackrock and Vanguard. Very glad to find this podcast.

Profound for considering. Invaluable in its foresight and explanation of concepts developed over its proprietor’s and guests’ decades of study. It’s an anthology of the most powerful financial and economic ideas of modern times. Also: a drinking game of some type should be offered. Ideas for trigger words: sanguine, Japanification, tautology, etc. To conclude, listen to the podcast.

I just finished the episode with Anthony Scaramucci and it was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. These were two friends discussing topics they’re both highly knowledgeable about - and they frequently disagreed with one another. Through their disagreements about crypto, Scaramucci for and Bahnsen against, I learned more about the issue than anything else I’ve ever learned listening to just one side. Their opinions were well thought out and defended, their disagreements polite, and the mutual respect obvious. If the other episodes are half as good as this one, this podcast is worth a follow.

Good talk. Mooch at times compelling but overall duplicitous & wobbly. Couldn’t get train moving, but didn’t come off the rails either. DB rock solid.

This really is one of those things that, if it didn’t already exist, would have to be invented. The guests are wonderful. I have some background in economics and a lot in public policy and find this illuminating every time. A small area with room for improvement - Bahnson talks too much sometimes, leaving less time than I would like for guests. He could re-listen to some of his introductions and notice that they are repetitive. But his interest in both faith and economic freedom is just my thing, and his willingness to fight his side in this public way is crucial.

Tremendously valuable for understanding the complexity of our economic system, although sometimes the discussions are a bit too technical for ordinary mortals.

..

Love DBs podcast. ESG takedown episode was great and I hope everyone in financial services will listen to it. All around excellent pod.

Everyone (especially investors) should listen to this episode. It is spot on.

Clear thinking, thought provoking podcast that is fun to listen to.

Probably the most practically informative and educational podcast I listen to. Highly recommend the episode with Louis Gave.

Episode 77 how to be good is the best explanation of ESG I’ve heard. Overall an excellent podcast. You’ll learn a lot.

Highly recommend

I love this podcast and learn much from it. That said… “Objection - leading the witness!” “Sustained.”

This podcast has intelligent speakers who come to share facts and have reasoned debates rather than rhetoric. The pace is comfortable, but not slow. They cover their points thoroughly without beating them. I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding of how our economy works - without being spoon fed a particular point of view.

What a find! David Bahsen is highly knowledgeable about markets and humanity. He complements that knowledge by engaging with great guests whom he actually lets speak. Every conversation is a delight.

Mr Bahnsen and his guests do an excellent job of having approachable discussions regarding capitalism, morality and the economy. As an economic neophyte, I find this podcast is a superb jumping off point for investigating some of the deeper American economic mysteries.

I had high hopes and expectations for NR’s economics podcast, and it started off well. But just listen to the discussion with Larry Kudlow to get a flavor for where things went. If you are all things MAGA and believe that whatever came out of Trump’s mouth on any given day represented sound economic policy, this is a show you will enjoy. Otherwise I’d suggest listening to Capitolism, the economics podcast from The Dispatch.

This interview was very insightful and educational for me. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed the conversation and insights with Amity Shlaes. Thanks.

I’d like an episode where you went in depth about how your Christian faith influences your choice of investment products. Something more in depth than just avoiding tobacco and alcohol. How do you approach from an ethical point of view investing in casinos, hospitals that do abortions, drug companies that manufacture abortifacients, or the sovereign debt of China? Regarding ethics and China you’ve made one or two brief remarks but nothing clear in what I’ve heard. Thanks. A client.

Please keep the podcast along with the articles on the NR website. This is too good 💯

While we were prodded at the US Army War College to “understand economics better” within the corpus of our personal studies, there was zero direction to that end. Between then and now, I’ve read Defending the Free Market by Robert Sirico. I then found Thomas Sowell. Holy moly. Never has this study been more accessible and understandable. And then this podcast. So thank you for all your episodes. You’ve made such a contribution to humanity and personal dignity.

David Bahnsen is outstanding in this role as podcast host. Love the dialogue, the depth, and the worldview backing it all up. I learn so much every episode-Keep them coming!

On this latest offering, what should have been a terrific experience, was ruined by the poor audio quality on Daniel’s end. David, you wee clear and strong, but it was so hard to follow Daniel that it really pretty much ruined the whole program. I assume the problem is it was a telephone interview, so please do find a way to technically improve the audio quality of such endeavors. Thanks so much for all you do for us, David and, do please fix this problem.

Very much enjoying your podcast capital matters! I don’t know a lot and if that’s typical of the rest of the audience - dammit Jim, I’m a doctor not an economist. But I appreciate how you talk about complex issues with impressive guests and give perspective of what you know from history, what you think is true, or what you just don’t know. Most of all your passion comes through for the conservative arguments both from the head and the heart for growth and prosperity that only come through capitalism and free markets. Thank you.

The conversations and give and take are highly intelligent but not so overbearing that a person would not be able to follow. Has become one of my top 2 podcasts!!

Excellent content.
