Hour 1 Hour 2

Lewis Lehrman and ex-realtor Carmen Alexe return this week on the most recent episode of "Turning Hard Times Into Good Times" radio program to talk about the return to a gold standard, real estate and the sinking world economy.

We asked Carmen about her views on the local and national real estate markets and how fiat money played a role in the current housing market depression. As a proponent of Austrian economics, Carmen understands the link between gold and economic freedom not to mention liberty in general.

The return of Lewis Lehrman this week provides hope and a practical means for transitioning our nation forward to a modern gold standard. Lewis Lehrman along with Ron Paul were the only two members of a 22-member committee to recommend we go back on a gold standard in 1980. Had we done so, there would be no silly debate about returning to the gold standard now. Lew is campaigning for a return to honest money and he has let it be known he is not playing a game. He is in it to win it.

Chen Lin had a hot stock idea to share and we also interviewed the CEO of Smash Minerals Corp., an exciting gold exploration prospect in the red hot Yukon.
