Libertarian Freedom vs Conservative and Progressive "Reform"
Do you know the big differences between libertarians, conservatives and progressives? Well my guest today is Jacob Hornberger from the Future Of Freedom Foundation. He believes that one major difference is the constant talk from conservatives and progressives to want to "reform" government programs and our wish that the program be completely abolished. We don't want to reform immoral boondoggles, we want to eliminate them. He contends that we are modern day abolitionists who don't want slavery tweaked and reformed, but rather gone altogether. We go down a list of political programs like social security, medicare, the war on drugs, the military industrial complex and Jacob explains where we as libertarians stand and where our conservative and progressive opponents stand. We then get into the rumor of Jacob exploring a libertarian party ticket presidential run.

Capitalism is widely misunderstood even as we enjoy the riches of a capitalist system. Today, I have Dr Michael Munger on the show to explain what exactly a capitalist system is and how to understand it using just three principles. We get into the enormous benefits of capitalism and of course the 100% rate of failure that socialism has.

Julian Assange: Hero and Journalist
Julian Assange has been taken from the Ecuadorian Embassy by British Police and now faces a possible trial here in America. Who is he? What is Wikileaks? Why do so many governments hate him? Simply because he tells us many of their darkest dirtiest secrets. Today I interview the great Scott Horton about Assange and many other topics as well.

The Russia/Trump Narrative and Media Credibility Are Dead
We have been fed lies for more than two years now. Trump colluded with Putin to steal the American election in 2016 from Hillary Clinton. American Democrats, "never Trumpers", resistors, neocons, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS....they've all peddled this lie. Now, they must face a reckoning. I interview Sumantra Maitra, an we discuss the Russia collusion lie and the guilty parties that must now face a reckoning.
