Kibbe on Liberty

Ep 246 | The Constant Crisis Crisis | Guest: John Tierney

From the 24-hour news cycle to constant doom-scrolling on social media, the world is awash in negative thinking and the mentality that the next crisis is right around the corner. Matt Kibbe is joined by John Tierney, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, to discuss how this kind of thinking leaves us vulnerable to surrendering our civil liberties to authoritarians eager to take advantage of emergencies, real or imagined. Tierney preaches skepticism on everything from the government narrative on COVID to the pervasive idea that 21st-century America is an oppressive, misogynistic patriarchy and urges viewers not to just accept what they are told by so-called experts.
