I usually don't like to interview politicians but Senator Rand Paul is different. He actually has interesting and important things to say. In this podcast, we discuss his book,The Case Against Socialism. We cover socialism's failure in Venezuela, the myth of "Scandinavian socialism," and more.

Parents are more scared than ever. The media warn of “Stranger Danger.” Lenore Skenazy says this is foolish. Parents should let their kids be MORE independent. She calls it “Free Range” parenting. She says kids are healthier when given unsupervised freedom. Parents are happier too. But what about the kidnappings? Skenazy points out those are extremely rare. It’s MUCH safer for kids to walk outside than ride in a car, yet parents rarely worry about driving. Today in America, some parents have even be arrested for letting their kids walk outside alone. We asked her about that and much more, in our full interview.

Tim Pool is a very successful journalist. He has millions of subscribers on multiple channels. But Pool never went to journalism school. In fact, he didn’t even finish high school. Unlike most reporters, Pool became respected just by doing it--going to the news, and covering things the mainstream media often miss. He’s reported from global hotspots, gone into the middle of riots, and exposed media bias. In 2019, I did a short video on citizen journalists like Pool. But the story of his career deserves more time. So here's our full conversation.

Trump recently picked Tulsi Gabbard to be his Director of National Intelligence. What are her views? Well 5 years ago—when Gabbard was still a Democrat—I interviewed her. She was running for President at the time and was clearly different from her competition. For one, unlike most Democrats, she agreed to talk with me. So here’s our full conversation.

This podcast is with…. GASP!…. a sex worker. Her name is Aella, and her career path is surprising. She’s made a lot of money performing for men online, and being an escort. But she's also an outspoken libertarian. “I just knew that freedom was really important,” she tells me. Now she’s paid to do research. Her surveys are unconventional, including something she calls a “rape spectrum." Here's our wide-ranging conversation.

Open speech is under attack around the world. Canada’s Rebel News founder Ezra Levant warns what might happen if we lose free speech in America. He points out that politicians in Canada plan to punish "hate speech" with life in prison. In England and Scotland, you can already get arrested for “hateful” posts. There, J.K. Rowling fights back – breaking Scotland’s law on purpose, daring police to arrest her. In Australia and Brazil, politicians tried to censor Twitter accounts. But Elon Musk refused. It’s good that both defend free speech.

Jordan Peterson, a controversial psychologist and author, dives into the vital relationship between responsibility and meaning, especially for today's youth. He argues that a dialogue solely focused on rights leaves a significant void in personal fulfillment. The discussion touches on the pitfalls of excessive compassion, the clash between individual and universal truths, and the dangers of ideological rigidity within leftist circles. Peterson advocates for free speech and individual sovereignty, challenging mainstream narratives surrounding identity and political correctness.

Socialism always fails! But for some reason people still want it. They should listen to Gloria Alvarez. She’s a viral influencer from Guatemala who watched parts of Latin America get wrecked by socialism. Now she says the “moochers and looters” are gaining ground in the USA. I’m encouraged people like Gloria get it. I interviewed her last year when she was running for President of Guatemala.

Robert Kennedy Jr recently suspended his presidential campaign. He was a unique candidate, with some controversial ideas. While he was running, I talked with him for an hour. RFK Jr told me that he wants to cut government spending, and that he supports freer markets. I was skeptical. What about his previous proposal to ban fracking? His opposition to nuclear energy? To even wind energy? What about the environmental regulations he pushes regarding chemicals in food, and his fear of vaccines? When it comes to foreign policy, he says he supports fewer wars, but what about his support for US funding of Israel? I asked RFK Jr questions about all those things, and fact-checked a few claims at the end. While we often disagree, I am glad he was willing to debate. That’s too rare these days.

Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? Well, what about Chase Oliver? He’s the Libertarian presidential candidate with some pretty interesting ideas. Thoughts you won’t hear from either major-party candidate. Oliver believes in “the most local governance, which is self-governance.” He wants government to stay out of our lives. He plans to privatize welfare, end social security, cut federal spending, and much more! In this podcast, originally recorded on June 12th, he tells me his vision for America.
