Political junkies and skeptics are still scratching their heads, wondering “How did this happen? How did Donald Trump take over the Republican Party?”
This may surprise you, but it all got started in July in Las Vegas. Back then, Trump was in trouble with this fledgling campaign. After his unrehearsed remarks about Mexicans, he was fired by NBC, Macy’s dropped him, and Univision attacked him. His poll numbers were down.
Then he agreed to appear before several thousand wealthy investors and concerned citizens at a conference called FreedomFest, billed as “the world’s largest gathering of free minds.” He spoke to a SRO audience in July: 7-11 in Vegas. It was his lucky day. His poll numbers rose sharply right after and he never looked back.
Why FreedomFest?
Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Inc., said it best: “FreedomFest is where the best ideas and policies are flushed out. I attend all 3 days and wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
I agree 100%. I was there last year, and have been there every year. It was incredible. I’ll be there this year at the opening ceremonies to greet everyone. You should be there too!
What’s FreedomFest all about? Everything! Philosophy, history, science & technology, healthy living, politics and your money, and much much more. It’s a Renaissance gathering in the entertainment capital of the world.
It’s organized by my good friend, Mark Skousen, who is a financial economist, author, and university professor who has taught at Columbia Business School and now Chapman University. (I recently listed him to be Trump’s Chairman of Economic Advisors!)
Once a year in July all the freedom lovers of the world gather in Las Vegas for FreedomFest, what the Washington Post calls “the greatest libertarian show on earth.” Steve Forbes and John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market, attend all 3 days. Last July over 2,500 people showed up to learn, network and celebrate liberty–including Donald Trump, Senator Marco Rubio, Steve Wynn, and Glenn Beck. Steve Moore even debated Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize economist and columnist at the New York Times. Everywhere I looked there were billionaires, celebrities, and famous authors. I was in heaven. (Want a summary? Watch the 5-minute video at www.freedomfest.com/videos).
Who’s coming this year? This year’s keynote speakers include Senator Rand Paul, radio host Larry Elder, Judge Andrew Napolitano, TV host Kennedy from Fox Business, Charles Koch’s right-hand man Richard Fink, authors George Gilder and Steve Moore, and the former heavy weight champion of the world, George Foreman.
In fact, they are holding a special reception with George Foreman, where attendees will get a chance to meet him, get a photograph taken with him, and have him sign a copy of his book, “Knockout Entrepreneur.” (He sold his grill business for $138 million.)
I’ll be there to debate all comers on the question: “Trump, Pro and Con: The YUGE Debate.” Guess which side I’ll be on? I can’t wait.
