The Weekly Podcast: Warren Buffett's Father: The Rep. Howard Buffett Story

Think you know everything there is to know about Warren Buffett?
You likely know how he got wealthy as CEO and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.... And you probably know his support for Democratic Party politicians, like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. .. And you might also remember President Obama giving him a Medal of Freedom.
But did you know this: Warren Buffett's father was ... a member of Congress.

Warren Buffett recently announced he's stepping down from Berkshire Hathaway.


And that's what inspires this week's episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly."

But instead of using that news to reflect on Warren Buffett's own connection to politics-- we focus on someone else: His father.


What did Warren Buffett have to say about his father — a Republican congressman?
What did Doris Buffett — Warren's sister — also say about Howard Buffett?
And what did Howard Buffett say in Congress — at the height of the Cold War?
