Jim Baker provided leadership when this country needed it. We need to find leaders like him soon. This country needs a leader like him these days.

Chris does a great job explaining the inner workings and incentives of the media. Also, what has changed and not changed in the media throughout the years.

Constructive Criticism

Revisado: 08-30-22

In chapter 48 “Economic Collapse”, Jared never mentions the Treasury Secretary or the Fed Chairman or the people at both of those organizations and their efforts during that time. In Chapter 9, stating he couldn’t find people to work in the administration, that was total BS there were plenty of people that wanted to help. They choose to go with a “light staff” thinking they would save money but it didn’t. They ended up with junior Obama holdovers who hated Trump and were thrilled to cause problems if and when they could. Some constrictive criticism, the Trump Administration was just cocky in the first two years about running the government. They learned a lesson the hard way. The Great knew Ronald Reagan “Personnel is Policy”

Good Account

Revisado: 08-01-22

I enjoyed this book. The author is right basically saying the Federal Reserve did most of the work in this crisis. The understaffing of Treasury between 2017-2020 was a mistake. The Treasury’s reason for understaffing or “light staff” as they put it, was to save money but it didn’t save any real money and just increased the risk for Treasury.

Good History

Revisado: 05-04-22

This book will be good for the historians as it gives a good account of what happened in the Summer of 2020. He did forget the vandalism at the Treasury Building next to the White House on 15th street.

Love this quote!

“We live in a time when people especially some of the country’s most educated and influential are more attached to self-serving narratives then to factual truth.” Former Attorney General Bill Barr

Interesting Read

Revisado: 01-26-22

Most of this book I agree with and it tells a good story.

1. I will disagree with her discussion in Chapter 2 about staffing up the administration. The administration went with a “light staff” model with the idea of saving money and doing things differently. The “light staff” model just kept junior Obama and Obama like staffers around to cause problems it was a mistake. The result was no money was saved and Trump agenda was slowed down. Republican Administrations need to staff up HUGE in the BEGINNING to get their agenda through. Most of the Federal Government are Democrats, it is what it is. The Trump Administration in the first 3 years was genuinely surprised by the level of hate against them. As Reagan said "Personnel is Policy."

2. I also disagree with her view of the January 6th committee. I think that the committee should also include the violence and vandalism at the White House in the summer 2020. As a country, we need to find a way to disagree WITHOUT going to violence or vandalism. Also we need to go back to partisan media similar to the founding of the country. It's the only solution and in many respects we are already there.

3. I hope Stephanie finds peace and success in her next chapter! I liked her quotes at the beginning of the chapters to set the stage and overall I think she did a great job!
