MVP: How Jack Kemp, Pro-Football Quarterback , Changed America
In this episode, we speak with Mort Kondracke, the co-author of Jack Kemp: The Bleeding-Heart Conservative Who Changed America. This is the only definitive biography of Jack Kemp, the legendary Buffalo Bills quarterback, dynamic Congressional leader, and champion of supply-side economics -- the idea that lowering taxes spurs economic growth.
Mort Kondracke makes the argument that Jack Kemp is the most influential non-president, American politician of the last century.
Jack Kemp’s relentless optimism, focus on growth, enthusiasm for his ideas, and his compassion for all Americans, fueled his success and candidates on both sides would do well to take up the mantle of Jack Kemp and use it to make a positive impact for America.
Mort Kondracke served as a White House Correspondent, Senior Editor of The New Republic during the magazine’s heyday, Washington Bureau Chief for Newsweek and Executive Editor for the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call. He's best know from his years on The McLaughlin Group and as a regular commentator on the Fox News Channel.
