Ep. 91: Building a Direct Republic, with Donnie Gebert
This week I talk with Donnie Gerbert. Donnie is a former US Army intelligence sergeant who also held various other positions in the US military. He is here to discuss his book (and plan) called "A Direct Republic: The Null Hypothesis of Politics". During his 17 years in the Armed Forces, Donnie studied and learned how to systematically tear down a government and then build a new one. He's combined his leadership, military, and economics education and put forth a plan on how to do just that right here in the United States. I know you'll enjoy this discussion.

My guest today is the founder and executive director of the Tenth Amendment Center, Michael Boldin. Michael and I discuss the gun rights movement, not only in Virginia, but throughout the country.

Ep. 87: Is it Time for America to Break Up? with F.H. Buckley
My guest this week is F.H. Buckley, author of the new book "American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup". We discuss his book and get into many of the angles of the idea of secession here in the United States. With one person ruling over an extremely divided 350 million people, secession may be the most logical and peaceful way forward. Why not let California be California and go their own way? Same with Texas. Same with many other states. We chat about nullification, local control, and other options other than secession as well. Hope y'all enjoy this one! Find F.H. Buckley here.

Ep. 85: John Baeza on Being a Libertarian Cop and Ron Paul's Bodyguard
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. You can the article we discuss here. You can find more of John's writings here. You can now join the Libertarian Party with MY link! Click here. Follow me on Facebook. Follow me on Twitter.
