Tom, I've listened to a lot of your past shows, in fact I'm working through the archives from 2012 onward.

I know you've said you're Libertarian with a small 'L', and that you don't have a preference for one side or the other.

Thing is, after listening to all these shows I've yet to hear a single episode where you use the same kind of analysis for the other side. I think the closest you came was when you said Obama didn't understand economics, but that's about it. I've heard you condemn socialism, rightfully so, so I know your opinion on that score.

How about the same expert doing a breakdown of Biden or Bernie? Or is that a bridge too far?

I don't ask as a supporter of either side, but as someone who IS apolitical (I have to be, to be profitable in my career) and is curious if you'll strike the same balance on the other side of the scale.

...does NOT mean I'm not a libertarian.

Trump is currently the president, and any president is open to critical analysis. Bernie Sanders won't win and he is therefore irrelevant. Send me the name of the psychologist who has spent multiple years analyzing Joe Biden, and I'll be happy to talk to him.

In addition, taking over the privately-owned airlines (as Stephen Mnuchin has just said they might) or pumping a $2 trillion "stimulus" into the economy is ANYTHING but libertarian.

Finally, this is not a network news show. This is the World According To Tom. There is no requirement for balance here any more than there is on Fox News. People don't listen to hear a balanced, nuanced conversation on the issues. They listen to hear my perspective. And that is what I'm providing.

I'm not asking you to support either side, just was curious if you were going to cover other things.

As you've said before in other shows, Conservative talk radio tended to focus on Obama's Healthcare offering, excluding all else. You certainly have the freedom and the right to focus on Trump excluding all else too--but its a bit ironic when you consider your prior comments about the Conservative personalities on radio.

I agree that "helicopter money" is anything BUT libertarian, I wouldn't dare suggest it is. I personally think that we're on the cusp of potentially hitting a hyperinflationary moment, once foreign demand for dollars subsides.

You've answered the question, so I'm cool -- I do value your perspective on issues of the day, absolutely.
