Ep. 144: Political Strategy and Florida Man Energy, with Tho Bishop

My guest on this episode is Tho Bishop. Tho is co-host on the Radio Rothbard podcast and an assistant editor at Mises.org. He has been well versed, not only in the economic and history lessons of Murray Rothbard, but also his political strategy writings from the mid-1990s. Tho is Bay County Republican Party Vice Chairman as well and is living in what may be the most free area of the United States, as far as COVID restrictions are concerned. In this episode, we discuss political strategy as far as freedom and liberty ends go. Is the Libertarian Party the path forward, or might it stand in the way of future elections, where if a Democrat wins, freedom and quality of life are in serious trouble? We discuss Florida Governor DeSantis, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaetz as the modern day enemies of the State. Tho also discusses his thoughts on the recent debate between podcaster extraordinaire Dave Smith and Republican Senator Eric Brakey. In this episode, we discuss these sites and/articles: https://mises.org/library/economics-one-lesson https://www.lewrockwell.com/1970/01/murray-n-rothbard/on-resisting-evil-2/ https://mises.org/economics-beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzZ8sFyym6A Sponsors: Zippix Toothpicks ( https://zippixtoothpicks.com ): Enter code BUCK at checkout for 10% off your order!

Ep. 143: Breaking Down the System, with Legalman

My guest today is affectionately known as America's Most Trusted Lawyer. He is the host of The Quash podcast, and he goes by "Legalman". Legalman and I discuss the legal system and some of the failed workings of it. We also get into what is wrong with constitutional conservatives and why he can be hard on them at times. Of course, we can't have the top lawyer on without discussing the legalities of Texas secession, so we get into that as well. His show is one of my favorites, and I know you'll enjoy him here on my platform today.

Today I am bringing you my conversation with Keri Smith of the Unsafe Space, Deprogrammed, and Daily Covfefe podcasts. Keri spent two decades in the Social Justice movement. She rightly refers to it as an evil religious cult and is very good at explaining the tenets of it as well as the mentality of many of its gatekeepers. She explains her awakening and journey out of the cult, and she is very good at speaking to people currently involved in it and informing them about how they can escape.

Ep. 139: Texit: Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union, with Daniel Miller

My guest this week is the President of The Texas Nationalist Movement, Daniel Miller. Daniel is here to discuss his organization's mission and how to get it done. That mission would be a peaceful secession from the union for the State of Texas. Many people used to scoff at this notion until our current political climate and secession movements all over the world have made it seem much more likely. We discuss the logistics of it as well as legal hurdles and common pushback on the idea.
