Counterflow with Buck Johnson

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.

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.

My guests today are two of the brightest minds and best writers in the right-wing populist movement. Ryan James Girdusky is author of "They're Not Listening: How the Elites Created the Nationalist Populist Revolution", and he's a co-host on the American Conservatives podcast Right Now. Pedro Gonzalez is the assistant editor over at American Greatness. They join me to discuss Trump, the election, political realignments, the future of the Trump populist movement, libertarianism, and more. This was a fun chat, and these guys are very dialed into the populist movement on the right.

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.

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! This makes me love her even more, and as always, I welcome controversial guests who aren't afraid to break from the mainstream and approved talking points. Ilana is a wonderful writer, a sweet person, and a great interview. I think you will enjoy this.

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.

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. We discuss many of Trump's policies yet we get broader and discuss the culture war and what Biden and Trump represent in that battle. Daniel is always a joy to talk with and I think that this discussion will make you think. Dan's recent piece on Trump's path to victory: https://nationalinterest.org/feature/donald-trump's-path-victory-clear-170767?fbclid=IwAR3MlGe8SEj_81fgTPzsPOYioWkWiKlqwF3_LJf7aeeC9Sh78Ig9JI5mu7o Find out more about the great Modern Age Journal here: https://isi.org/modern-age Sponsors: Zippix Toothpicks ( https://zippixtoothpicks.com ): Enter code DTTP at checkout for 10% off your order!
