Counterflow with Buck Johnson

This week we discuss the Austin Bomber. Why did the charlatans and carnival barkers insist on their fallacious narratives regarding the victims and then the bomber himself? Speaking of bombs, Donald Trump has named none other than infamous warmonger and historically idiotic neocon, John Bolton as his National Security Advisor. How does this man continue to be employable? He's been wrong on literally everything he's ever promoted. And finally, we touch on the anti gun marches that took place. Are the marchers actually against the slaughtering of innocent humans? Where have they been all this time? Thank you for your continued support.

Socrates was considered the antithesis of the Sophists in his day. Now more than ever, we are bombarded by Sophistry on a weekly, daily even hour by hour basis. What has happened to well reasoned arguments and logic in todays political environment? We discuss that and relate it to two different articles. One on the fallacies of the gun control argument and the other on the leftist hatred for free speech today.  Here are the two articles we discuss:  https://fee.org/articles/6-logical-fallacies-to-look-out-for-in-the-gun-debate/ https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/absolutely-surreal-student-mob-smashes-window-in-protest-against-jordan-pet Please "like" us at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @Buckrebel   Spread the word and share the podcast!

States Rights! Nullification! Secession! Just what you'd expect to hear from.....PROGRESSIVES IN CALIFORNIA?! Actually, yes. Progressives finally believe in local governance and nullification. All it took was Donald Trump to turn politics on its head and we are now in Bizarro World. And if that wasn't enough, just months after Republicans touted tax CUTS, they now want tariffs which, well, are just taxes and another intervention into a free market. We'll break down tariffs and the classic Broken Window Fallacy. Plus- Tucker Carlson heroically gives neocon warmonger John Bolton a verbal beatdown.  Here are links to the articles I cite on today's episode:  http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-california-immigration-20180306-story.html   https://fee.org/articles/economics-was-invented-to-refute-trumps-tariff-arguments/ Recommended books: Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt  and Economics In One Lesson by Thomas Sowell Go "like" us at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Subscribe  on iTunes and share the show with friends! 

Getting rid of guns *and* due process?? It sounds like a progressive utopia. Or is it just another crazy thing that came out of Trump’s mouth? We discuss that plus positive vs negative rights, tax cuts and the non aggression principle. PLUS- I actually have some very kind words for none other than Bernie Sanders. That RARELY happens- so tune in!!  Go "like" our page at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me in Twitter @buckrebel Rate us and give us a review after you subscribe on iTunes.  Thank you so much for the support. 

Brilliant foreign policy mind and author Scott Horton joins us to discuss the longest war in US history, the War In Afghanistan. When did it start? Why are we there? What does victory look like? Why were we at war everyday of the Obama administration? When will it end? We go over all of this PLUS some discussion about the left's obsession with war against Russia. Also, we go over the crisis in Yemen and how it started. Scott's book is a must read : https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548650218/ Visit him at : https://scotthorton.org  I start the episode with a quick chat on the *yawn* gun debate in America.

Today we chat with Aaron Pomerantz, a bright young social psychology  graduate student at Oklahoma University. He wrote a very good article  discussing the idealogical language divide in our current political climate and the origins of "symbolic racism". It's all too common today that when one disagrees with a policy, they immediately use the ubiquitous "R" word. That is a shortcut to intellect and we chat all about it.  Aaron's articles are found at www.FEE.org and are linked to below.  https://fee.org/articles/the-ideology-behind-so-what-you-re-saying-is/ https://fee.org/articles/does-celebrity-culture-contribute-to-mass-violence/ Follow me in Twitter @buckrebel "Like" us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast

Net neutrality isn't as hot of a topic today as it was a month or so ago but to many people, there is still a lot of confusion about what it really is and was. Also, we discuss FISA. What is it and WHY would they vote to renew it? We end with some book recommendations for anyone interested in the ideas of liberty or economics. And then, a quick discussion of Dr Jordan Peterson.
