The Silver Lining of Authoritarian Promises
Lately, some politicians have been making headlines by uttering extremely tyrannical promises. As many of you know, Beto O'Rourke has promised, that if he's elected, you will be forced to turn in your AR15s and AK47s. You may also have heard that Bernie Sanders discussed his support for abortion funding in other countries as to promote worldwide population control. Obviously, both of these are beyond alarming. However, I am here to point out the silver lining in these cases. At least authoritarian members of government are being open and honest about their true intentions. For decades, they have put a nice spin on things. Now, at least some of them, are straight up telling you their evil intentions.

Fascism, Communism and Socialism: Not A Dime's Worth of Difference
My guest today is L.K. Samuels, author of the new book, "Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum". Mr Samuels details the many similarities and ties between socialism, fascism, and communism. Have you ever wondered why the conventional "left-right political spectrum" is so nonsensical? Why would communism and fascism be on opposite ends when they're so very similar? My guest discusses the many historical parallels between these authoritarian and brutal philosophies, including the fascistic beginnings of Antifa and how modern US political candidates want their own version of national socialism.

The Powerful Few Men Behind the Establishment and Popular Culture
What if I told you that there are a few agents heavily connected to people like Anderson Cooper, Joe Biden, Chris Cuomo, Ana Navarro, Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Van Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.... Would that seem odd? Maybe not. What if then, you learned of an email from those agents that warned of ruining a certain political candidate that didn't play by the rules of those particular agents? Would two people have enough powerful connections to ruin someone's reputation in terms of how the masses viewed that person? Have you ever noticed multiple outlets using the same propaganda against certain public figures that might not "play the game"? Listen to this episode and learn about some powerful people that have a very specific agenda.

Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt: A Conversation with Paul Gottfried
Today my guest is the great paleoconservative author and political philosopher, Dr Paul Gottfried. We discuss his book, "Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt". He offers his unique takedown of the version of multiculturalism that the administrative state enforces on society. He precisely shows the Protestant roots of the guilt politics that has driven much of the state's agenda for the last century. Does the state truly care about real multiculturalism or is it about power and control? Paul gives his take on the post-Marxist movement and what he calls "cultural totalitarians". We also discuss Tulsi Gabbard and if there is or isn't an anti-war right in this country. I highly recommend Paul's books. You can find them here: https://www.amazon.com/Multiculturalism-Politics-Guilt-Secular-Theocracy/dp/0826215203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=14Y17UXTK0WL7&keywords=paul+gottfried&qid=1566143851&s=books&sprefix=paul+gottf%2Caps%2C166&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Death-Marxism-European-Millennium-ebook/dp/B07FZ766S8/ref=sr_1_4?crid=14Y17UXTK0WL7&keywords=paul+gottfried&qid=1566143851&s=books&sprefix=paul+gottf%2Caps%2C166&sr=1-4 You can find us here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter here: @buckrebel Donate to my Patreon here : www.Patreon.com/deathtotyrants

Talking About Tulsi Gabbard
Today I give you my take on Tulsi Gabbard. I also interview Washington Examiner journalist, Brad Polumbo about Tulsi and the brutal takedown that she gave Kamala Harris in the latest of the Democratic Primary debates. Should libertarians show Tulsi some love? Why doesn't the establishment like her? We cover all of this and more. Plus- I unveil "Buck's Law Of Politics"!

The Russia-gate Narrative Turns to Dust
We were promised that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin colluded to screw Hillary Clinton out of her rightful spot as President of the United States. Then we were told that we should just wait until the Mueller Report comes out. That would really implicate Donald Trump as a Russian Puppet. Then that didn't seem to turn out so we were told to just wait until Mueller testifies. That will bring all of the dirty collusion facts into the spotlight. But then.......nothing. Was this a lie the entire time? Who made this stuff up? Why did so many people fall for it? My guest today is, writer and author, James Howard Kunstler. We discuss Trump, Russia, Hillary, Mueller, Obama and more. Find James Kunstler's work here : www.Kunstler.com Find his article we discuss here: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/07/james-howard-kunstler/a-purview-of-dust/ Find us online here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter here: @buckrebel Thank you for your support!

The Rise of Woke Capitalism
So what exactly is "woke capitalism"? Have you noticed the fashionable trend of big corporations trying to prove how unbelievably politically correct they are? There was a bill to ban late term abortions in Georgia. That did not sit well with the leftist big corporations in Hollywood. They threatened to boycott the state of Georgia. Google has said that they want to sway the 2020 election away from Trump. Facebook, Apple, Twitter and YouTube ban voices that are to the right of Bernie Sanders. How "woke" are these big businesses? What's the best way to fight it? My guest today is Dr William Anderson, professor of economics at Frostburg State University. His article that we discuss is here: https://mises.org/wire/rise-woke-capitalism You can find me here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast follow me on Twitter here: @buckrebel
