Your right to decide what kind of car to purchase (or any other item) ends with money in your pocket..I should not pay a penalty to cronies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 2, 2016
I don't care if an American assembles a car in Detroit or parts for a foreign company's local operation. Dick may compete against Jane here.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 2, 2016
If I want to purchase a good value from a Mexican producer, it's none of corrupt, economic idiot Trump or Clinton's business whatsoever.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 2, 2016
I run into a trade deficit with Walmart every day. They buy nothing from me. But I earn my income from other areas of the economy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 2, 2016
When the Statist Trump and Clinton attack trade liberalization pacts like TPP, they are fundamentally against the greater good of consumers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) October 2, 2016

The Grumpy Economist on Econtalk and Economic Growth
I haven't embedded podcasts in some time. I don't want to get into technical details here; let's just say that I've embedded a lot of podcasts and videos over the life of the blog, and I'll find that techniques and players I've used in the past no longer seem to work; this is over and beyond the question of whether content is still available. I'm closing in on nearly 3000 posts (I should hit that before Thanksgiving), and of course I don't go back over posts I've written in the early years of the blog to see if the videos or podcasts are still usable. In this case, the Econtalk podcasts have been online since 2006, but I'll give the link here in the event the playback is unusable in the future, but I did a test publication of the post (unlike Youtube videos, which can play in draft mode, the audio player doesn't).
I usually don't include longer (say, >10 minute) podcasts or videos, but Cochrane is so spot on so many economic/political issues that I want to promote the video. Of course, Russ Roberts does a brilliant job with weekly hosting interviews, and I recommend subscribing to the Econtalk feed on iTunes or other podcast service.
