The Rundown - Monday, March 20, 2017 - Will robots take your job?; The "Obama wiretapped me" mess;

My op-ed in the Denver Post which caused a reader to e-mail me that I "don't care and hate" people on Medicaid:

At 6:36 AM (and again later in the show), Brian Wesbury, chief economist at First Trust Advisors, joins us to talk about a fascinating recent article of his in which he asks the question: Do robots really cause the loss of large number of jobs? It's a great lesson in the difference between what Bastiat called a good economist (Brian) vs a bad economist (most people).

Today, FBI Director James Comey testifies before Congress (after many requests, such as those described in the O'Reilly Factor conversation above.) I'm very curious to learn what he'll say about President Trump's "wiretapping" claim as well as about the status of any investigation into "collusion" between Russia and members of the Trump campaign. I doubt he'll say much about the latter.

The way that President Trump came to claim that Barack Obama is very confusing. We'll try to untangle it a bit. The president is making a big mistake tweeting about it Monday morning rather than about Obamacare and Judge Gorsuch.
