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

The Welfare State is Tearing Sweden Apart
My guest today is the former president of the Swedish Chapter of the Mises Institute, Jon Nylander. We discuss the large welfare state in Sweden and the damage it's doing. There has been a large influx of immigrants into Swedish society in the last few years and rather than assisting various cultures with assimilation, the welfare state is pushing them further apart from each other. Markets bring people together and multiculturalism is much more harmonious but heavy government intervention and state sponsored welfare does the opposite.
