My guest this week is economist, professor, author, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, and podcast host, Robert Murphy. Bob is here to discuss his new short-form book, "Common Sense: The Case for an Independent Texas". We go through several common issues of pushback when it comes to the State of Texas becoming an independent nation.

Ep. 181: All Things C-Word Nineteen, with Jeremy R. Hammond

My guest this week is an excellent independent journalist and author, Jeremy R. Hammond.

Ep. 180: The Nature of Power, Narrative, and Conspiracy, with James Corbett

My guest on this episode is James Corbett of CorbettReport.com. James has been putting out excellent content in the forms of documentaries, podcasts, writing, and more for much longer than most people in alternative media. James has a terrific analysis of how conspiracies happen at the highest levels. As he points out, the highest levels of power are far above elected officials and names we all know. In this episode, we also discuss the media, propaganda narratives, and how the coof narrative has played out on the public. We also get into the class that James Corbett will be teaching at Renegade University.

Ep. 179: Understanding the Psychosis of the Left, with Dr. Richard Kradin

My guest on this episode is Dr. Richard Kradin. Dr. Kradin is a senior physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, a psychoanalyst, and a professor at Harvard Medical School. He has authored several texts that examine psychology and society, and he's brilliant at analysing the inner workings of the leftist mind. Obviously, one can look around today and see that many on the left seem to be dealing with mental health issues and much of their political beliefs are fueled by resentment, anger and projection. Dr. Kradin and I examine this phenomenon, and he breaks it down in a manner that you will find palatable. We also examine the question of what we can do moving forward in regard to living amongst them.

Ep. 178: The Red Pills Don't Always Go Down Easy, with Debra and Adam

My guests this week are Adam and Debra from the . Debra is Adam's mother-in-law and comes from a neoliberal/progressive political background and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She supported Obama, Clinton, Biden, and so on. Adam is from the libertarian space, and he discusses various ideas, current events, etc. with Debra to get her take on things. As they get into their discussions, he drops red pills on her and tries to get her to see the way things actually are. She has started to see things much differently after months of doing their show. I brought them both on because I love talking to them. I ask Debra and Adam some tough questions, and I think you'll love this discussion.

Ep. 177: Grab Political Power and Use It Against Your Enemies, with Pedro Gonzalez

My guest this week is the Associate Editor at Chronicles Magazine and one of the best voices on the Right today, Pedro Gonzalez. Pedro and I discuss the right's issue with state power. The Left has been able to grab power and willfully use it to win every battle and gain power over every institution in the country. Is it worth it for the right and libertarians to "stick to their principles" if it means losing every battle? If your principles lead to a world with less freedom, maybe it's time to examine your principles. We also discuss the US military and the fact that it is being run by low-IQ losers. The chaotic rot that has infested every State institution has also infected the military. Pedro and I discuss the impact that author James Burnham has had on his thinking along with what we should learn from Huey P Long. This is an excellent discussion, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Ep. 173: Separation Over Persuasion, with Jeff Deist

My guest this week is the President of the Mises Institute, Jeff Deist. We discuss one of the biggest silver linings that can be taken from 2020 and the COVID moment. It's time to take stock in what has happened and realize that trying to get a Rand Paul or a Thomas Massie elected at the Presidential level isn't time and money well spent. Is there a way in which we can choose to separate from the insane left rather than trying to persuade them with our abstract ideas? (Ideas that half of the population find abhorrent, to boot.) What can be done at a small local level? Can change be made there? We also discuss the need to have elite members of society push the ideas of liberty.
