My guest today is entrepreneur and podcaster Michael Cheney. He has put together a fact-filled eBook detailing many important aspects of the coronavirus. As he puts it: "This is not about conjecture – this is about facts and gathering available data in a way which clarifies what we are being told, how much of that is true, and what we are not being told..." Michael put a lot of research into this book, and I ask him about all of it in this interview. From the death rate statistics, to the issues in Italy, to the government overreach in order to "flatten the curve". Why are the methods to help fix this mess so heavily politicized? We hit on all of these issues in this episode.

For my 100th episode, I welcome Mises Institute President, Jeff Deist, back to the show. Jeff brings his unique and principled perspective on ways to deal with this Coronavirus moment. We discuss the value of decentralized methods of dealing with many of the issues involved in not only this crisis, but any crisis. Top down, one-size-fits-all solutions do not work in a country of 350 million people. We talk about liberty, the need for civil disobedience, and the necessary break up of a country that is far too politicized in far too many aspects of society. Jeff also discusses some ways that individual states can deal with this current crisis. I know you'll enjoy his perspective on things.

I am stoked to bring you this bonus episode with none other than The Reverend Horton Heat, Jim Heath! We get into music and politics and everything in between. Considered by many to be the Godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly, Jim has been playing music for decades. Now, due to this COVID-19 craziness, he has been forced to cancel all of his gigs. Initially, he was willing to keep playing for his crew and bandmates, but when he announced that, he received a lot of personal attacks from the online mob. He's here to discuss how that all went down and a lot more. Find the Reverend Horton Heat online here: Join the Libertarian Party through my link!

My guest today is the great Scott Horton. I brought Scott on to discuss how this COVID-19 pandemic and the costs surrounding it will affect foreign policy. Fighting multiple wars overseas was already unaffordable. Now, there is no longer any reasonable doubt that we can't afford the troop deployment any longer. We also get into how Trump has handled things so far with this COVID-19 craziness, and then Scott goes on a wonderful tangent about the failures of government at every level and how a more libertarian government would have been better every step of the way.

On this special bonus episode, I bring you two of my favorite singers whom I've also had the pleasure of calling friends for a long time, Dale Watson and Big Sandy. They are both well known touring musicians who front their respective bands. I wanted to have them on to discuss how this coronavirus craziness has affected them as musicians. I want to attack this story from several angles, so I figured, why not reach out to some friends who depend on live audiences for their main income? Dale Watson and Big Sandy have been entertaining crowds worldwide since the 1980s, and much like you and me, they've never experienced a moment like this. I think you'll appreciate their perspectives, and despite this tough moment, their optimistic view of things.

This week, I'm joined by Michael Cheney of the Michael Cheney Show. We discuss several aspects of this Coronavirus craziness that we are living through. Michael lives in Scotland and has great insight into the healthcare system in the UK, how they're handling (or not handling) the increased demand right now, the strict guns laws, the strict "shelter in place" rules, and much more. Michael is a very successful businessman, and he tells us about how he became financially independent and how it put him in a place where he's not hurting at all through this quarantine process.

Well, this is certainly the most bizarre time of my entire life and probably yours as well. The Coronavirus and all of the things it is affecting, well, it's like nothing I've ever seen. One thing of which we can be certain is that things have changed and things will remain changed forever after this. My guest today is James Howard Kunstler, and we talk about what has and what will change and what it might look like on the other side of this mess. James gives us his well informed, unique take, and as usual, he adds his own brand of wit. To read and hear more of Mr Kunstler's work, visit him here: Join the Libertarian Party through my link!

Author, journalist, editor, professor, and former broadcaster, Srdja Trifkovic joins me this week to discuss Neoconservatism. The "neocons" as they're called, have had a heavy hand in promoting disastrous foreign policy decisions over the decades, most notably the Iraq wars. Every policy they favor seems to turn out badly, yet their influence is still there. Where and how did they originate? Why are they called "conservative" when they're really anything but? Are we seeing their last attempts at relevancy as they further promote contentious relations with Russia? Srdja Trifkovic has been studying them and writing against their policies for years, and his knowledge of their movement is very helpful as he gives us the dirty details of the Neoconservative movement.

In this bonus episode, I feature my appearance on the brand new podcast, "Breaking the Cycle" with Joshua Smith. Josh is running to be the next Chair of the Libertarian National Committee. He had me on his show to discuss not only liberty, but music as well! He and I have a love for a certain type of music. You'll hear all about it in this episode. We also discuss what's been wrong with the Libertarian Party and why Josh is the man to help fix it! Enjoy.

My guest this week is Allen Gindler. He is here to talk about socialism, which he knows a bit about since he grew up in the Soviet Union. He is here to discuss various types of socialism, what each ones represents, and why it's important to not classify them all as "Marxism". What about Bernie's desire to become like the Nordic Countries? Is that socialism? Find out on this episode! Find Allen's writing here: Join the Libertarian Party through my link!
