The Gross Love for the CIA

Recently Bill Maher had ex CIA director John Brennan on his show. Just a few years ago, the left showed skepticism toward massive government spy agencies. Not so now. Bill Maher treated John Brennan like the second coming of Christ. Keep in mind, John Brennan actually aided Al Qaeda. Why all of a sudden, does the left love people like this? I discuss that today. Share the show! See you next week.  www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast

The Dark Legacy of John McCain

The media, the establishment and most politicians from both "sides" of the aisle fell over themselves trying to pontificate about what an amazing man John McCain was. Luckily, there are writers and thinkers like my guest today, Tom Luongo. He calls John McCain out for being the slimy establishment brutal warmonger that he was. The amount of blood that was on McCain's hands is immeasurable. The amount of lives and money that were lost due in part to his policies, leadership positions and votes cannot be overstated. It's time to call him what he really was. A war loving demagogue.

CNN Loves Antifa and MSNBC Loves the CIA.

Antifa recently engaged in more property destruction and violence at the "Unite The Right 2" rally in DC. Rather than report on this and condemn it, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo defended the violent tactics of Antifa. Communism is responsible for over 100 million deaths and yet Chris Cuomo defends the group that calls for more state sponsored violence and death. Also, the CIA has infiltrated MSNBC and Trump calls their bluff.

Secession Is Popular

The idea of decentralization and/or secession is an idea that our country was founded on. Now, in 2018, 39% of the country believes in the idea. We are probably headed for some sort of breakup in the next decade or so. States like California, Texas and New Hampshire have all had ballot referendums on it already. As things become more polarized and technology moves us even further away from needing a one size fits all Washington DC master, the idea may become even more popular. This week I breakdown a recent survey that shows the popularity of the idea of secession.  https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/no_author/secessionist-sentiment-remains-a-plurality-among-likely-voters/ Give us a "like" at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel  Share the show!

The War Party's Favorite Boogieman: Russia

The Democrats, the media and some Republicans have removed any secrecy to the fact that they are thirsty for more blood. Now, the boogieman we should attack immediately is RUSSIA and (gasp) PUTIN. How dare Trump actually meet with such a vile terrorist, they say. We were attacked! Weapons of mass destruction all over again.  Some are calling their meeting to discuss peace an actual act of treason. This week, I have on author Donald Jeffries to discuss this topic and others. His book can be found and purchased here https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-History-Conspiracies-Cover-Ups-American/dp/1510705376/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1532898403&sr=8-2&keywords=donald+jeffries His latest article on the Trump-Putin Peace Summit can be read here:  https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/07/donald-jeffries/the-trump-putin-conference/ Give us a "like" at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast  Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

Free Speech Is Always Under Attack

They NY Times recently published a story on conservatives now "weaponizing" free speech. The claim is that progressives need to be skeptical of free speech absolutism. In the 60s, liberals were the champions of free speech. Today, the modern left is anti free speech and even the NY Times is saying that free speech is a libertarian issue now. Well duh. It always has been. Here's the articles I discuss:  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/30/us/politics/first-amendment-conservatives-supreme-court.html https://www.cato.org/survey-reports/state-free-speech-tolerance-america#2 Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel and "like" us at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast

Sarah Sanders, Gay Wedding Cake, Property and Principles

White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was recently asked to leave a restaurant due to her politics. Maxine Waters is pushing for businesses and people, in general, to use segregation as a weapon once again. A gay couple demanded that a Christian cake decorator be forced at gunpoint to bake and decorate their wedding cake. What does all of this mean for libertarians? We have a simple and consistent principle that we follow and it makes all of this issues...non issues!  "Like" our page at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast  Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel    Share the show!
