My guest this week is John Baeza, and we discuss the three years he attempted to be a "libertarian cop". John is a retired member of the NYPD, where he was a detective who was assigned to the Manhattan Special Victims Squad. There he investigated and reviewed approximately 1,000 cases of rape, serial rape, sexual homicide, felony sexual assault, and child abuse cases. During his tenure there, he started realizing the pain and suffering caused by the war on drugs. He was reading libertarian books, and after that, there was no turning back for him. John became a libertarian. After his career with NYPD was over with, he became a Deputy down in Florida where he made a promise to himself: from that point on, he would be a libertarian cop. In this episode we talk about how that went for him and how it ended. John was also the head of security for the Ron Paul campaign! I, of course, had to ask him all about that as well.

My guest today is Philip Girladi, and we discuss all things "Deep State". We now know that former CIA Director, John Brennan, formed a "CIA Trump Task Force" with several other nefarious deep state figures in order to tie Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. This turned out to be fruitless, yet a lot of damage was still done. Why did these deep state figures want to derail Trump's presidential aspirations? Why are they always on the side of more war and more foreign intervention? My guest today knows those answers and more, as he is an ex-CIA officer and comes at this with a wealth of information.

My guest this week is Dr. Murray Sabrin, author of the new book, "Why the Federal Reserve Sucks: It Causes Inflation, Recessions, Bubbles and Enriches the One Percent". He is here to discuss, well, exactly WHY the Federal Reserve does suck.

My guest this week is the great Lew Rockwell. Lew is the founder and chairman of the Mises Institute, as well as the creator of the great news site, LewRockwell.com. We discuss a variety of topics including Lew's new book, "Against The Left: A Rothbardian Libertarianism". Lew is a great representative of the hardcore Rothbardian brand of libertarianism, and we apply it to immigration, egalitarianism, and the dangers posed by the left, including the so-called "left libertarians". Lew also talks about coalitions that libertarians should strive to forge in the current climate. He was kind enough to email a list of the Mises and Rothbard books that he recommends. Here are the links to those books: Mises: - "Planning for Freedom" - - "The Causes of the Economic Crisis" - - "Liberalism" - - "Liberty and Property" - - "The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality" - Rothbard: - "What Has Government Done to Our Money" - - "Anatomy of the State" - - "The Case Against the Fed" - - "For a New Liberty" - - "Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature" - You can get all of Lew's books (along with his brand new one!) here: Visit Visit Visit me here: Follow me on Twitter here: You can donate to the show here:

My guest this week is the president of the Mises Institute, Jeff Deist. Jeff and I discuss the themes within his recent article, "Politics Drops Its Pretenses" and his recent speech on how "meaningless words" create a narrative. Is "democracy" really a good thing? Do those who use it even know what it means? Are we best off when 51% of the voters force their will upon the other 49%? Is it realistic for libertarians to find the right presidential candidate that will win over a majority of voters in hopes to live in a libertarian society? What if secession and decentralization is the best way moving forward? We will hear the establishment tell us that "politics and voting will bring us together" and "democracy in action is a good thing". Why does it seem, then, that the further entrenched government becomes in our lives, the more divisive and at odds the country becomes?

In an episode I will subtitle: "Tales of Tyranny", this episode features my appearance on the Freeman Beyond the Wall podcast with Pete Quinones. Pete and I discuss several crazy instances of pure abuses of "power" by government police officers. These instances are, of course, appalling and disturbing and we give our thoughts on each instance along with discussing the bigger issue of governmental power in general. Pete is a great podcaster and managing editor over at the Libertarian Institute. He's also the author of the book, "Freedom Through Memedom- The 31 Day Guide to Waking Up to Liberty".  You can find all things Pete Quinones here:  Go visit the Libertarian Institute here:  Find me here: Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here:   Here are the articles that we discuss:

My guest today is Joshua Smith. He is running for Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee. Josh is on the show to explain exactly why he is the guy for the job. The current chairman has embarrassed the Libertarian Party by demonizing many of the best libertarians out there. Up until I met Josh and interviewed him, I wasn't a renewing member of the Libertarian Party. However, his message inspired me to rejoin and fight to get him elected and the current chairman ousted. Josh is antiwar and anti Federal Reserve and those are a must, in my opinion, if you want to represent libertarianism.  You can find Joshua Smith here:  You can find me here: Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here:
