Ep. 152: Operation Choke Point and More, with Don the Pleb

My guest on this episode is Don the Pleb, proprietor of Plebian Media. Don's weekly YouTube show has become very popular, and you'll understand why from this interview. Don is of the right-wing persuasion and is very good at understanding politics and analysis. In this chat, he explains what Operation Choke Point is and how it has influenced deplatforming and demonetizing various voices in media. We also discuss the events of January 6, 2021 from the point of view of a guy who was actually there. I also ask Don about why the Right seems to be on the losing end so often.

Ep. 151: Finding the Light in the Dim Age, with Vin Armani

Vin Armani is a man with a very fascinating and diverse life story. He now resides in Saipan after seeing the writing on the wall in April 2020. He knew the US was headed in a very bad direction. Vin is here to discuss the age that we now live in. It's what he has coined "The Dim Age". What differentiates it from the Dark Age is that the light is out there to be found. How do we tap into it? We are in a society that now values mysticism and novelty over tradition and reason. Vin is here to discuss exactly how to navigate this. We also discuss Bitcoin and get into Vin's past life as a high-end straight male escort.

Ep. 150b: The Free State of Florida and the Prison State of California, with Tho Bishop and Thaddeus Russell

This was a really enjoyable bonus episode with Thaddeus Russell and Tho Bishop. Tho is a proud Florida man, and Thaddeus resides in the State of California. We discuss the ways in which their respective states implemented COVID-19 restrictions and how it has affected their lives. Florida has obviously come out on the winning end now, and California and its governor Gavin Newsom are floundering. We also get into some very good discussion on political strategy and analysis, including their thoughts on populism, culture, and more. This was an excellent chat, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Ep. 150: Race, Allies, and Discrimination from the Left, with Gothix

My guest today is blowing up on YouTube as of late, and her channel is becoming a must-watch. Her name is Vanessa, and she is otherwise known as Gothix. She joins me to discuss the perceived race issue in America. We discuss her being "canceled" from her previous online presence, as well as her leftist friends dropping her after she, as a black woman, spoke out against things like: BLM, socialism, and the need for "allies". Which types of people do you think attack her the most? It couldn't be the tolerant, progressive, white left, could it? Tune in for a wonderful discussion with a sharp and entertaining guest. I even have a segment in this one where I read actual quotes about racism from progressives that I know in real life and get Vanessa's reactions. It's great. I know you'll enjoy this one.

Ep. 148: Stefan Molyneux on Philosophy, Politics, Race, and Parenting

My guest today is the proprietor of Freedomain, the biggest philosophy show in the world, Stefan Molyneux. I was honored to bring him on to discuss his exodus from talking politics, although we are fortunate to get a number of political takes in this episode. We also discuss his deep appreciation for philosophy and what it means to him. Stefan has been slandered with the slur of "racist", and we get into why he believes that has happened. He's also a passionate proponent of "peaceful parenting" and he gives a very eloquent monologue as to exactly why.

Ep. 147: The Structures of Power and the Problems with Libertarianism, with Matthew Erickson

I am very happy to have as my guest today Matthew Erickson from the Kingpilled Videocast and "Wealth, Power, and Influence, with Jason Stapleton". Matt and I get into what government actually is and why libertarians will always be on the losing end unless they are willing to make some big changes. Matt is very good at breaking down Machiavellian power philosophy and expanding it to current times. The left is more than willing to break every rule to keep power. What will happen if libertarians just agree to abide by the non aggression principle as they continually get buried under more leftist state power? Are principles what are written on the graves of dead men? This episode will make you think. To find more about Matthew Erickson, follow him here: Here are the books Matthew recommends: - The Machiavellians, by James Burnham - Fingerprints of the Gods, by Graham Hancock - Magicians of the Gods, by Graham Hancock - The Brothers, by Stephen Kinzer - The Unqualified Reservations Blog, by Mencius Moldbug Sponsors: Zippix Toothpicks ( ): Enter code BUCK at checkout for 10% off your order!

My guest this week is well known in Libertarian Party circles, and she's running to be the next chair of the LP. Her name is Angela McArdle, and she's here to discuss the changes she wants to see within the Libertarian Party. First and foremost is the messaging.
