Peddling Fiction Podcast

I thought we'd take a break from the coronavirus non-stop coverage, the economy teetering on the brink of disaster, and politics in general. I'm going to tell you about my journey to libertarianism. 

Joe Biden has been engaging in blatant gender discrimination for the job opening as his VP. Government doesn't have the right to discriminate, but you, the individual, absolutely do. 

Who would pay nearly $8 for $0.85 ear plugs or send hundreds of millions of dollars to Nigerian princes claiming to be unemployed, or force big tech firms to censor their users...that’s right, we’re covering gov’t incompetence today so obviously there's a lot to go over

The Chairman of the FED was out today trying to convince us all that they've got this house of cards under control. The truth of the matter is they are setting us up for economic disasters on the federal, state, and local levels. Will pension funds be the next economic shoe to drop?

Another non-scandal is not tarnishing the scandal free Obama presidency and the more gov't gets exposed for the liars that they are, the more their insatiable thirst for power and control over our lives gets exposed. Coronavirus it just the latest example in a long and storied history. 

There's a lot of ground to cover today from Believe All Women to the mainstream narrative of the Ahmaud Arbery shooting. It's tough to know who to believe these days.  If history is any indication, when it comes to racially charged incidents, the initial story is usually wrong. We'll have to see if the Arbery story is more of the same. 

What do Justin Amash, mouth-breathing bureaucrats, and cow people all have in common? Only one way to find out!

Joe Biden officially acknowledges and denies the sexual assault accusations. Whether you believe him or not, the real story here is the hypocrisy of the Corporate Press and politicians...Oh and i'm really not happy about these new airline mask requirements. Happy Friday!

The numbers are in and they look pretty definitive to me. It looks like we've been bamboozled once again into sacrificing more of our liberty for a false sense of security. None of the projections and doomsday scenarios used to justify the quarantine have materialized. Yet we still have governors trying to extend their stay-at-home orders. How much longer will the American people accept this narra...

Now that the first rounds of stimulus packages have been hastily rolled out by your wise overlords in Washington, we're getting a glimpse into a lot of the problems I pointed out when these programs were first announce. With a return to normal being very far off and states clamoring to be the next ones bailed out, these problems are far from over.  

Oil went negative for the first time in history. How is that even possible? Listen to find out!

The only thing worse than a quarantine is a Karen. One of these people even took it upon themselves to interrupt today's episode. To get my thoughts on that as well as some other random coronavirus potpourri, check out this episode. 

Yep, it's April 15th and even though our day of reckoning has been pushed back a couple months because of the coronavirus, taxation is still, in fact, theft.

We take a break from coronavirus to discuss the implications of Bernie Sanders dropping out of the presidential race. We're talking Joe Biden and the idiocy of the vote blue no matter who crowd. 

The most disturbing aspect of this whole COVID-19 crisis is not the virus or even the looming economic disaster. It's the automatic authoritarian government response to these types of problems. We're seeing some very disturbing trends in that direction and we need to nip them in the bud before it's too late!

We got huge unemployment numbers this week. We lost 701,000 jobs in early march and another 10 million people filed for unemployment in the last two weeks. What's worse is that it looks like the FED policy and government relief programs are going to seal the fate of millions more. Things are getting ugly

Donald Trump expressed his desire for another $2 trillion big, tremendous infrastructure stimulus bill today. Here's why Phase 4 will prove to be just as big of a disaster as the 3 phases that preceded it. 

It's official. The largest bailout in history is awaiting Donald Trump's beautiful signature. Not one Republican in the senate voted against it and everyone and their mother is coming out of the woodwork to get a piece of this pie. But who are the real winners and losers? 

I ran a little longer than usual today. I had a lot on my mind regarding our current situation, the gov't reaction to it, and the sense of entitlement permeating our culture. It's a harsh, but necessary message to all of us.

How would a libertarian Ancap society handle a pandemic like the Coronavirus? Pretty much the opposite of the debacle detailed in the NY Times article featured on today's show. 

No, unfortunately I'm not talking about the government. It's just about everything else that is shutting down while the Federal Government and Federal Reserve kick into overdrive. They seem determined to kill the economy once and for all.

It's official! Not only is the Corona Virus a pandemic but a national emergency! Everybody needs to calm down a little bit and stop buying toilet paper!

If you read any headlines today or tuned into any of the talking heads, you'd think the end of the world has finally arrived. Stock Market Crash! Bond bubble burst! Oil plunging! Corona Virus spreading like wild fire. Cases skyrocket! Deaths soar! And while things do look dire, betting on the end of the world is futile. In today's episode, I go over some of the political landscape after we lost ou...
