The 2012 election has made David Koch, the billionaire business mogul, philanthropist, and leading Republican, one of the most influential people on the American scene.

The Obama administration hates him and what he stands for . . . but millions of Americans applaud both his success and his decision to play a key role in keeping America's free-enterprise system sound and strong.

And in Newsmax magazine's special report "David Koch Speaks," the conservative icon offers a rare and exclusive inside look at his private world.

David Koch speaks about his charity efforts, his businesses, his family, the future of America, and the election of Barack Obama.

Koch is co-founder of the powerful political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, which fights for lower taxes and limited government and was credited with helping the GOP regain control of the House in 2010.
