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.

Ep. 185: Ditching Political Labels, with Meghan Murphy
My guest on the show this week is the proprietor of the Feminist Current website and the Same Drugs video podcast, Meghan Murphy. Meghan is well known as a feminist who comes from the left. However, with her evolution over recent years, she has come to realize that as some of her stances change, it's better to avoid political labels altogether. While some of her principles remain unchanged, many of her "labels" have been tarnished by others. As you know, some of my labels have been tarnished over the years as well, so I really relate to Meghan on this. We discuss feminism, prostitution, COVID, the patriarchy, Meghan's relocation to Mexico from Canada, and much more. This was a really enjoyable conversation for me, and I think you'll enjoy it too.

Ep. 184: We Will Win! with Sam Jacobs
My guest today is Sam Jacobs. Sam is the lead writer and chief historian with Ammo.com. We are living in a chaotic clown world right now, and there is a lot of evil surrounding us. Sam believes that ultimately, we will win this battle against this evil. We discuss some of our victories along with the losses of the regime. Sam believes that the regime is up against the ropes, and the more they try to swing, the more regular folks are waking up to the fact that the emperor has no clothes.

Ep. 183: Using Power to Fight the Regime, with Representative Anthony Sabatini
My guest this week represents Florida's 32nd District, and he represents them well. He is Representative Anthony Sabatini. In this discussion, we get into the Right's historic inability to take advantage of their elected positions to actually fight back against the constant encroachment by the Establishment Left. We talk about the university system, the jab mandates, the problems with the Republican Party, and more. Anthony often finds bigger pushback from his own party than from the Left. Why is that?
