Show 1371 Ted Cruz and the Gold Standard. Tom Woods, Sean Hannity
Segment 1- ThinkProgress, the heresy-hunting thought-control site, lashed out at Ted Cruz last week for advocating some kind of tie between the dollar and gold. Cruz himself is not the issue; the issue is how terrible their article was. Their article is the bologna; the Tom Woods Show is the slicer.
