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.

Ep. 127: Trump, Biden, the election, and the Prospects for Libertarians, with Daniel McCarthy

My guest today is highly acclaimed journalist and editor of Modern Age: A Conservative Review, Daniel McCarthy. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, USA Today, The Spectator, the National Interest, Reason, Modern Age, and other publications. Today, we are discussing the upcoming presidential election and the reasons that he believes libertarians should cast their vote for Donald Trump.

Ep. 126: On Cultural Marxism and Critical Race Theory

My guest today is Stephen Kirschner, and we are discussing something that is very often misunderstood and incorrectly defined--especially on Google!!!--and that is cultural Marxism. Stephen penned a great piece on it, and he's here to explain its meaning, its origins, and everything in between. We also discuss Critical Race Theory, since it's been in the news a lot lately and I want you guys to understand what it is and how harmful it's been. I think you'll love this chat with Stephen Kirschner. Sponsors: Zippix Toothpicks ( ): Enter code DTTP at checkout for 10% off your order!

Ep. 125: The Detestable Nature of the Left, with Thaddeus Russell

This week, Thaddeus Russell is back, and we have a lot to discuss. Not only is he here to give his well-researched thoughts on the modern left, but he goes back decades to explain how we have arrived at the wild moment that we are in now. We touch on Marxism, BLM, feminism, the coming split within the Democratic Party, and more. Also, due to when we recorded this, we naturally had to discuss the wild presidential debate that we had just watched the night before. We end with a discussion on what might be coming our way: Could it be civil unrest? Secession? Thaddeus is the founder of Renegade University, the proprietor of the Unregistered Podcast, and author of "A Renegade History of the United States".

Ep. 124: The Woke Supremacy: An Anti-Socialist Manifesto, with Evan Sayet

My guest this week is author, speaker, speech writer, and comedian, Evan Sayet. Evan is here to discuss his new book, "The Woke Supremacy: An Anti-Socialist Manifesto". This book is an easy and highly educational read for those interested in the dangers of all forms of socialism. Evan details the differences between types of socialism (e.g. national, democratic, Russian), but more importantly, he details the similarities. We get into this current version of socialism pushed by the "woke" left. Hitler's vision wasn't so much the genocide of Jews as it was the utopia after that. Pol Pot's vision wasn't so much the killing fields as it was the utopia after that. Similarly, the current generation of woke leftists see cancelling out anyone they deem the "others" as merely a means to their utopian end too.
