IE Business Daily Business news for the Inland Empire.
Tune in to The Main Event this Saturday morning at 9:30 on AM590 with host Ed Hoffman as he discusses national, regional and local current events, as well as trends in the local real estate market. Ed delivers intelligent radio with unique, witty and irreverent flair.
This week, Ed opens the show with some much talked-about audio from the movie Back to the Future 2, in which the characters state that they’re “in the year 2015.” Indeed, we are now in the year 2015 – and there’s a great deal to talk about, both in politics and public policy.
One aspect of public policy in the news this week concerns Ed’s own industry, real estate financing. As of January 26, FHA mortgage insurance will be reduced by half a percent – and, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac have introduced a 3% down program for first time homebuyers. However, Ed says, “It may not be as good for you as you think.” Tune in this week to hear Ed explain at length why this is the case. He uses all the numbers you need to understand what your payments, rates and even escrow dates may be; it’s must-know information for all prospective homebuyers!
After delivering this valuable mortgage information, Ed turns to a philosophical discussion. He plays audio from conservative academic and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza; the story underscores themes of true sacrifice, morality and selflessness vs. the expectations of entitlement that are so prevalent in America today.
Ed’s favorite guest, Scott McAffee from Don’s Bicycles in Redlands and Rialto, re-joins him in the studio this week. Tune in to hear them discuss their political ideology anecdotes; if you remember your own ideological evolution throughout your life, you’ll love hearing Ed and Scott describe theirs. Ed tells the story of making his children wear the t-shirts of one unlikely presidential candidate in 1992; you may be surprised to hear who it was!
Next, there’s a business discussion that will surely interest entrepreneurs throughout the Inland Empire. If overhead, regulation and your new obligations thanks to the Affordable Care Act are on your mind, tune in to hear insight from a host who understands. After that, you’ll hear analysis designed to enlighten those who are on the fence politically. Ed and Scott will examine how states and cities run by Democrats have been hurt tremendously by liberal policies, while states run by Republicans have fared much better, both currently and historically.
You’ll also hear:
- Ed advocate for a flat income tax
- Discussions on cap and trade energy policy
- Thoughts on this week’s terrorist attacks in France
- Comparison between the left and right
…And more!
