Ep. 136: Correcting the COVID-19 Media Fallacies, with Josh Ketter

Analytics expert Josh Ketter is back by popular demand. Josh has been analyzing the COVID-19 data for months now, and he is here to explain exactly what data regarding COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and the like is relevant and why. He discusses the red flags to watch out for regarding media reports on anything involving COVID-19. You may have noticed that many in the corporate press are still reporting on "cases" and using terms like "spike" and "surge". These are sure signs that the outlets using these terms are misleading their audience. We arm you with the facts and figures that you need. Josh wraps the discussion with a summary of where we are with this virus and where we are headed.

Ep. 135: Smashing the Lockdowns, with Michael Wolf

Strength coach extraordinaire Michael Wolf is with me today. We not only get to discuss his profession and weight lifting, but Michael has been doing quite a bit of research on the effectiveness of lockdowns and masks. Obviously, at this point, most people are seeing that the lockdowns are doing far greater damage than they are good. Michael's profession has been hit hard, as many in his field (small gym owners, etc) have had to completely abandon all that they had worked hard to build. What should happen to those who've championed such harm to so many? We discuss that too.

Ep. 134: No, They Are Not Private Companies, with Dr. Michael Rectenwald

My guest is a great author, a retired professor, and most notably, a Marxist turned libertarian: Dr. Michael Rectenwald. He is here to discuss his recent speech at a Mises Institute event, called "The Google Election". In this talk, Michael goes over the true beginnings of Google and Facebook and shows that, no, they were not "private companies" from the very start. They were funded by fronts of the CIA and other Federal Government bureaucratic entities. He discusses their formations, their controllers, their algorithms, and their effect on American government, politics, and culture.

Ep. 133: An Evolution of Political Thought, with Matthew Erickson

My guest this week is the co-host of "Wealth, Power and Influence, with Jason Stapleton", Matthew Erickson. Matt has a lot of truly thought provoking things to say regarding his evolving political thought process. We talk libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, monarchy, and other forms of government. In what type of system would liberty best flourish? It's not democracy, we know that. What about under a system of monarchy? We discuss the influence that Mencius Moldbug has had on Matt's thinking lately. We also discuss the presidential election, and he has a lot of interesting thoughts on it, including: one candidate will be in handcuffs before it is over, and Donald J. Trump will the president come inauguration day 2021. This is one of my favorite interviews, and I know you'll enjoy it.

Ep. 132: Woman on Fire: Passion, Liberty, and Reason, with Ilana Mercer

My guest this week is the wonderful paleo-libertarian writer, thinker, and author, Ilana Mercer. Ilana is the author of several great books including "Into the Cannibals Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa". She is here to discuss a multitude of topics with me ranging from: Paleo-libertariansism, Conservative Inc, mainstream libertarianism, her books, Donald Trump, and even some wonderful advice for my listeners. Many outlets are afraid to publish her work, including many libertarian and paleo-conservative outlets!

Ep. 131: A Thirst For War: The Foreign Policy of Joe Biden, with Scott Ritter

This week, my guest is Scott Ritter, former United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998. Prior to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Ritter stated that Iraq possessed no significant weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities. Scott and I discuss the foreign policy philosophy of Joe Biden. Scott is quite familiar with Joe Biden, and in 1998, he had a back-and-forth with him at the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services and the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. We discuss the lies that lead the US to war in Iraq in 2003 from Scott's first-hand account. We discuss Joe Biden's role in those lies as well as his interventionist posturing throughout the decades.
