I listened to the William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens debate this week and had some lingering thoughts. I didn't know much about the two before, so I went in a little blind. The debate took place in 2009 and can be watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tYm41hb48o I also had some thoughts about Hitchens' argument that Christians use their religion to control everyone. I do have som...

Hey all, here is my first solo commentary video. I decided to review George Orwell's 1984 from an Austrian economic perspective. I listened to the entirety of 1984 at work on Saturday and was reminded of Frédéric Bastiat's essay on That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen. I read out of both, shared my thoughts, and even found an opportunity to pitch why we need to End the Fed. Hope you all...

Commander Dale Brown joined me to discuss his private security firm, Threat Management Center. They aren't private police because he doesn't think people want to be policed by them. He noticed that police do not protect, they only enforce law, so he created this firm to educate people on the law, teach them urban survival tactics and, above all, protect people from predation and protect life. Thre...

Economist Tate Fegley joined me to talk about the economics of privatizing the police and whether or not it would decrease police brutality.
