Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week is Pete Quinones, host of the "Free Man Beyond the Wall" podcast and managing editor at the Libertarian Institute. I invited Pete on to chat about his podcast, libertarianism in general, and the new documentary he is co-producing called, "Monopoly on Violence". Pete and I have a lot in common, so it was fun to just basically shoot the sh*t. We also got into anarchism, police, abortion, intellectual property, annoying libertarians, and secession. I know you'll enjoy this chat.

My guest today is journalist and author Peter Van Buren. Peter has fought hard for the principle of free speech. Peter worked for the State Department for 24 years, including a stint in Iraq. When his book, "We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People", was released, the US Government came after him, claiming that he published classified material. Peter also wrote articles for the left-leaning publication, "The Nation", until they weren't happy that he was writing articles promoting free speech, and they stopped accepting his articles. However, The American Conservative does still appreciate his stance on unfettered free speech. This is a microcosm of a cultural shift, in general. The modern left has vocally come out against free speech and the modern right has embraced it. We get into this topic along with discussing Peter's excellent work on the Russiagate saga. Peter is one of the best journalists out there, and I know you'll enjoy this interview.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Philip Kennedy on his podcast, "Kennedy Financial", and this is that interview. Philip brought me on to discuss my libertarian journey, what I've learned in my time doing my podcast, secession, economics, and more. I wanted to put this one out so you listeners of my show can get to know me a bit better, since I don't usually talk about myself on my show. Hope you enjoy it!

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.

Today we will discuss all things Intellectual Property. Of course, to do that, I have Stephan Kinsella on the show, who is the foremost expert on this topic. What is "property"? Are all rights essentially "property rights"? Can you own an idea if ideas aren't finite? What is covered under the umbrella of intellectual property? How should a libertarian view intellectual property? All of this and more on episode 90! Enjoy!

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. We get into the "sanctuary cities" for gun rights advocates and what exactly that helps accomplish. The Tenth Amendment Center is a terrific resource to learn about nullification movements throughout the country. Michael is very knowledgeable on so many issues and such a great radical. I love his passion and all his great work. You'll enjoy our conversation.

My guest this week is Jimmy Morrison, writer and director of the great new documentary film, "The Bubble", which explains all about the housing bubble and subsequent bust in 2008. This is not only an educational film, it's really well-made and entertaining. Jimmy did a superb job of throwing in plenty of TV and pop culture with his interviews and educational segments. I can promise you that you'll enjoy this film. To see this documentary, go to: https://letusdisagree.com/bubbles You can now join the Libertarian Party with MY link!

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.
