Ep. 195: Why They're 'Suddenly' Telling the Truth, with L.B. Muñiz
Today, I've got L.B. Muñiz on the show. He writes and podcasts over at . We are discussing some themes that he has written about. You have probably noticed that some mainstream voices have slowly started saying some truths that just six months ago were getting people banned from various social media sites. Oh, now we can say that the vaccine doesn't stop the spread? Why now? Are they just parroting the newest science, or is this how propagandists work? We also discuss post-libertarianism. Why has that become a pejorative for some? What the hell does post-libertarianism even mean? Tune in, find out, and enjoy my chat with L.B. Muñiz!

Ep. 194: Stopping College Mandates and Fighting Lockdowns, with Joni McGary and Anthony Raimondo
My guests today are two people who are willing to step up and fight for what they believe in... for free! Rather than sit around and argue about abstract political issues, their positions within the LP, or theoretical utopias, they both just get up, get out, and do the hard work that is needed to help regular people fight tyranny. Joni McGary started a group to stop vaccine mandates on college campuses, and before she knew it, she was on Fox News multiple times, and her movement is currently gaining a lot of traction very quickly. Anthony Raimondo is a lawyer in Northern California, and during the lockdowns, he looked around and realized that nobody was helping these small business owners that decided they had to remain open. So he started representing them in court pro-bono and won just about every case he represented. He's now helping folks get vaccine exemptions. It's such a great conversation with two honest and hard-working people who want to do rather than just talk.

Ep. 193: America's Mass Delusional Psychosis, with Dr. Mark McDonald
My guest this week is a psychiatrist and now author of the book, "United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis". Obviously, most of you have looked around over the last few years and noticed that there are a lot of people who are living in fear and appear to have lost their minds. You may have even encountered them on a trail wearing a mask or deriding you if you don't. We've all seen the "Karen" meme mocking the controlling female who has gone crazy. Dr. Mark McDonald is here to break all of this down in a very easy-to-comprehend way. There were signs of this prior to COVID, but that's certainly where it really went off the rails. Why did it happen? What caused it? Why are people still wearing masks when we know they don't work? Why are people still scared to leave their apartment and live life? Why are so many men completely emasculated? We discuss all of this and more.

Ep. 191: The Worst Public Health Failure in Generations, with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya
My guest this week is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the doctors behind the Great Barrington Declaration. I wanted him to come on and get us all caught up with exactly where we are regarding the science on COVID-19--that is, the ACTUAL science, rather than the pseudo-religious propaganda dished out by the corporate press. We discuss getting the virus twice, natural immunity vs. the vaccine, effectiveness (or lack thereof) of masks, lockdowns, and more. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya discusses why the response from public health officials was one of the worst calamities in modern history.

Ep. 188: The Beauty and Tradition of Orthodox Christianity, with Father Ignatius
My guest this week is the Priest at St. Andrew Orthodox Christian Church in Lockhart, Texas, Father Ignatius. We get into the rich history and traditions of the Orthodox Church: the Divine Liturgy, the icons, the saints, the Church Fathers, and more. His Church proudly never closed their doors during the lockdowns. They remained open, not only for worship, but for clothing, food, and supplies for anyone who needed them during the great snow storm of 2021. "We've never shut our doors for lockdowns, and we never will," he says in our discussion. Father Ignatius also discusses the importance of keeping to the tradition of exactly how they've done communion for thousands of years, despite the pressures of modern day scare tactics from outside the Church. The Orthodox Church remains unchanged for thousands of years, and many people are discovering just how beautiful and important that can be. I think you will really enjoy this discussion.

Ep. 187: Charlottesville Untold, with Anne Wilson Smith
My guest today is Anne Wilson Smith, author of the book, "Charlottesville Untold". As with most giant stories that happen around the world, the media has their concocted version that they present to the public, and then there is the real story which is rarely given. We have to rely on voices like Anne's to get the actual details. As with the January 6th narrative, the Charlottesville narrative has been so far removed from reality that it's hard to know what exactly happened there. So, Anne is here to tell us exactly that. She was there. She gives her story on what she saw, who was at fault for the craziness that broke out, and all of the details surrounding the event. Tune in and finally get the true story.

Ep. 186: Cronyism in America, with Dr Patrick Newman
My guest this week is Mises Institute Fellow, Patrick Newman. Patrick is an economics professor and author. Today we are discussing themes in his newest book, "Cronyism: Liberty vs Power in America 1607-1849". Even as far back as the 1600's, there have been corporations getting together with the State to gain power that would not have otherwise been possible for them to obtain. Patrick and I discuss that, as well as relating it to where we are now in terms of Cronyism in America. And since I have him on, I'd be remiss is I didn't ask him some pertinent questions about the current state of the economy. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.
