Light Beer | Dark Money welcomes back our good friend and long-time guest, Congressman David Schweikert, for a comprehensive examination of the nation’s looming fiscal crisis and the economic headwinds facing both the United States and the State of Arizona. Congressman Schweikert provides a detailed assessment of the country’s budget trajectory, long-term entitlement pressures, and the policy solutions necessary to restore financial stability and sustainable growth.

Chris and Congressman Schweikert also engage in an extended and substantive discussion about America’s healthcare crisis — emphasizing that the true drivers of cost are structural and technological, not simply fiscal. They outline why the system cannot be repaired through additional subsidies and spending alone, and how Congressman Schweikert has been at the forefront of advancing the technological and systemic reforms required to meaningfully bend the cost curve.

Finally, Congressman Schweikert addresses his prospective run for Governor of Arizona, explaining why the state’s escalating debt, stagnant rural economies, and growing poverty demands new leadership and urgent policy intervention. This episode is essential listening for anyone concerned about the economic direction of Arizona and the nation.

A sharp, insightful conversation you won’t want to miss.
