194: Ocean Beachfront Rants and Dark Election Contemplations 16.11.2020

The question of the day is.... To be... or not to be?... That... Is the question.   Today's episode is my ocean beachfront rant that was filmed on our post-election vacation in Hilton Head Island.

So, I called up a few pals like Remso Martinez (On the Run), Craig Smoldt (Break the Bell), Jon Schweppe (American Principles P...

It was a 16 hour drive down, so we answered all your questions on the way in this road trip AMA Q&A exclusive. Question Everything. Stay Uncomfortable....

190: "Libertarians Should Vote for Trump" #ChangeMyMind w. Jon Schweppe 30.10.2020

The question of the day is... Why are you letting this whole circus get to you? It should go without saying, but I'm not voting for Trump.

You must be new here... Welcome to The System is Do...

189: Catching Up On the Road w. Your Next VP, Spike Cohen (Muddied Waters Media) 26.10.2020

The question of the day is.... What's going on with your next VP, Spike Cohen? Spike was on the show the first time, way back in less late 2020. At that time, Spike was just a lowly podcaster riding side-pony-saddle with Vermin Supreme and everyone kind of assuming the LP wouldn't be smart enough to choose him as their VP pick. Now, several minutes later, Spike Cohen is a less-lowly podc...

This one is a longer one than I've been posting as of late, and it SOUNDS much better too.

188: VeriPoll: Innovative Solutions for a Broken System 19.10.2020

The question of the day is... After what happened in 2016 and what seems to be happening again with the current election, how can anyone even pretend to trust the numbers that the dinosaur polls feed us?  Today's episode is my conversation with Nathan Nodolski and Victor Hinojosa, who are the brains behind VeriPoll, an innovative new method of gathering election polls, while more adequately a...

187: CUTIES! Quit Defending Pedo Sh*t w. Brian McWilliams (Lions of Liberty) 28.09.2020

The question of the day is... Wtf is going on?... Seriously, how did we get to this point where we have to have debates over whether or not streamed "entertainment" is child abuse? Think about that... So, I certainly wasn't going to watch Netflix's controversial new show #Cuties, but I knew my deplorable friend Brian McWilliams from Lions of Liberty's "Electric Libert...

185: Why I Can't Run as a Libertarian w. Rocky Ferrenburg for Idaho 14.09.2020

Today's episode is my conversation with Rocky Ferrenburg. Rocky is running for State Senate in Idaho on a platform of lesser gun laws, legalizing marijuana, ending the grocery tax, and improving education... Sounds like a lot of pretty libertarian type stuff, doesn't it. Rocky Ferrenburg is a proud libertarian, but has found it to be a waste of time running for political office as one. I...
