    Hey Scoop!
    Speaking of the truth ... I, too, would love to see your answer to @Inky_Wretch's question. Did you make up the Reagan quote that opens your book? Because it can't be found anywhere except in, um, you book. Most of us around here are loathe to scream "fake news," especially at other "journalists." So it sure would be nice @Carlkolchak if you could clear this up, considering reputation and accuracy ought to be valued.
    In case you missed it, here's @Inky_Wretch's original post:
    Journalism question here about this ...

    The opening quote presented in the book doesn’t come from one of the fifty-two contributors but from former two-term President Ronald Reagan. “For the life of me, and I’ll never know how to explain it, but when I met that man, I felt like I was the one shaking hands with the President.”

    I thought that quote was very interesting, so I started digging to find out where and when Reagan said it. But the only search results for it come from tss.ib.tv in connection with your book. So where did you find that quote? Did Reagan himself say it to you before he died in 2004 and you filed it away?

    The Reagan Library seems to have no record of it in Reagan's collection of diaries ... Records Show Scant Reagan-Trump Ties

    So what exactly is the “deal on Federal Reserve lending language” and how’s it going to screw up the next decade?

    You’re right. Unfortunately I know A LOT of people who think like that. And that’s scary.
