Truth Social Co-Founder’s Radio Show Sponsored by Harris for President
Former Apprentice contestant and Truth Social co-founder Wes Moss hosted his weekly Money Matters radio show on WSB in Atlanta Sunday as usual, days after he and his United Atlantic Ventures partner Andy Litinsky cashed out most of their stock in $DJT.
Moss made no mention of Truth Social and took no phone calls. Instead, as has been the case for the last couple years, the “call-in” show featured Moss talking to a co-host or guest from his Atlanta wealth management firm.
The lone political ad to air during the hour was for Harris.
The show opened with an emailed question from a listener asking what will happen to the stock market after the election. Moss never mentioned Trump by name, just the generic Democrat or Republican winning, but teased an analysis of market performance after elections that was held to the very end of the show.
The first segment analyzed investing after stock market highs, as happened this week. A later segment analyzed market performance after an interest rate cut.
The Harris ad featured her own voice making an economic pitch geared toward the middle class,
“Middle class families, like the one I grew up in. They want common sense solutions. You want lower prices and lower taxes. I believe you want to just not get by, but you want to get ahead. We must create an opportunity economy. Where everyone has a chance to get a car loan, buy a home, start a business. And I believe we can make that happen.”
That’s followed by a VoiceOver with a more populist criticism of billionaires and corporations:
“Kamala Harris’s plan: bring down costs by cracking down on corporate price gouges, make homeownership more affordable for families, a middle class tax, cut for 100 million Americans, and make sure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share. So you can keep more of the money you’ve earned.”
Moss’s election analysis was saved for the final, brief segment with less than 10 minutes in the show. (It’s normally a two-hour show but truncated to an hour during football season to make way for Bulldog Brunch.)
It went back to 1972 to see how the stock market performed after elections and found on average it still goes up after 3 months, 6 months, and a year. “Once you know, you know” Moss said which helps market confidence.
The tone is not to panic. Moss didn’t endorse Trump or warn that he might contest the election if he loses, as he did in 2020 potentially causing chaos in the markets, let alone the institutions of Democracy.
He also didn’t endorse Harris or worry if her supporters might question a narrow loss.
The news reports surrounding Moss’s segments didn’t include an election news. They did feature comments on hurricane damage from Sen. Jon Ossoff and Gov. Brian Kemp.
Moss’s bi-weekly column in the Sunday Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s business section was dropped in 2022. But news of his stock sale hasn’t appeared in the paper to date.
Moss’s bio still calls the show a call-in but no longer mentions his AJC column of 10 years.
A weekly auto column from Cox-owned Cox Automotive now appears in the business section.
