Summary: Jay Powell said in December 2021 that the Fed would target federal funds interest rate of 0.9% by the end of 2022. But in the past week, several other Federal Reserve Board members have spoken out, with President of the St. Louis Fed James Bullard calling for the rate to reach 1.0% by July 2022. Is the Fed in disarray? Tom Luongo of Gold, Goats, and Guns says no, just at war with the Davo...

Summary: The libertarian philosophy based upon self-ownership and the non-aggression principle leads one to political positions like legalizing prostitution, gambling, and other victimless crimes. This begs the question: can one be a devout Christian and a libertarian at the same time? Doug Stuart and Kerry Baldwin of the Libertarian Christian Institute join Tom to discuss their new book on the su...

Summary: Since 2020 we’ve learned how important it is that we still live in a federal republic rather than a monolithic nation state. If things get too bad in your state, you can vote with your feet and many Americans have over the past two years. However, you can also make a difference at the county level. Despite the name recognition gained from being an international professional wrestling star...

Summary: President Biden says the U.S. will not go to war over Ukraine, even if Russia invades, and is not planning on admitting Ukraine into NATO "in the next ten years." But the administration is still playing a dangerous game by refusing to completely walk away from the conflict. Daniel McAdams from the Ron Paul Institute joins Tom to discuss. Guest bio: Daniel McAdams is executive director of...

Summary: Economists talk about the Social Security “Trust Fund” and politicians sometimes even demagogue about their colleagues “robbing the trust fund.” But once you understand what the so-called trust fund really is, there is plenty more to be angry about than politicians supposedly robbing it for other government boondoggles. Prepare to be very angry. Links: No, the US doesn’t have $30 trillion...

Summary: The U.S. economy supposedly added almost a million jobs December 2021 – January 2022, but the stock markets continue to decline. What are investors seeing that government bean counters are not? As usual, It’s the Fed, Stupid.

Summary: Fauci, Walenksy, and other “public health experts” are slowly moving towards positions people previously banned from social media and polite society held since the beginning of the pandemic. But they’re trying to reconcile them with their crumbling narrative that lockdowns, mask mandates, and the vaccines were highly effective against Covid-19. Links: Fauci Finally Admits Something About...

Summary: Politics has invaded every aspect of American life and the casualties have included entertainment. Comedy is no longer funny, entertainment award shows are unbearable, and Alan Mosely’s favorite genre, late night talk, has lost its soul. He joins Tom to discuss his own late night show, It’s Too Late with Alan Mosley, and his quest to revive a once-great format. Watch video here . Guest bi...

Summary: Like the country as a whole, libertarians are divided on immigration.

Guest bio: Suzanne Sherman was raised in California and having spent most of her life there, she moved to Utah to live a life of preparedness and self-reliance. She’s also a...

Summary: James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas doesn’t write news reports. It provides firsthand audio and video evidence of political and corporate malfeasance obtained through interviews with whistleblowers and secretly recorded insiders. James joins Tom to discuss his new book, American Muckraker, and the latest news from the front lines of guerilla journalism. Guest bio: James O’Keefe established Pr...

Summary: Kevin Gutzman returns to break down the Supreme Court decision on the two vaccine mandates concerning companies with more than 100 employees and health care workers, respectively. While we agree the practice of federal agencies writing any regulations at all constitutes legislating and is therefore unconstitutional, this decision does reintroduce a long-ignored principle that could repres...

Summary: The government admits inflation is high, but when measured the same way we did in the 1970s, it's even higher than it was then. What can Americans do to protect themselves? Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center and SchiffGold joins Tom to offer his thoughts. Guest bio: Michael Maharrey serves as the national communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center and the managing edi...

Summary: When former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo tried to close his business in 2020, Robby Dinero refused to close. He went to court against the Covid lockdowns and won. Now he’s taking on his local school board over its Covid mandates. Robby was wrongfully arrested for trespassing when he tried to attend a school board meeting earlier this month. He joins Tom to talk about his court appearanc...

Summary: The Fed may have set us up for disaster by quintupling the money supply since March 2020, but if the Davos crowd gets its way, it could be even worse. Tom Luongo joins Tom to explain how Jay Powell is using the repo markets to defeat Davos and ensure the Fed and Wall Street remain in charge of the financial world. Guest Bio: Tom Luongo is a former research chemist, amateur dairy goat farm...

Summary: Democratic Senator Joe Manchin has killed President Biden’s mega-boondoggle “infrastructure” bill for now. But bad ideas never seem to stay dead in Washington, D.C.

G...

Summary: Tensions are high as the U.S. and NATO square off with Russia over Ukraine. This is just the latest in a series of ill-advised U.S. interventions that always end up backfiring. Scott Horton joins Tom to break down not only the Ukraine situation but the continuing disasters in the Middle East. Guest Bio: Scott Horton is director of the Libertarian Institute, editorial director of Antiwar.c...

Summary: In response to rising prices, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell says the Fed will speed up the slowdown in purchasing assets. Huh? Of course, even if the Fed ceased today, we’d have a massive problem on our hands thanks to the tsunami of money loosed upon the economy in the past two years. But don’t count on that promise to stop inflating in March – at least not for very long. Links: Fe...

Guest bio: John Bush  is a radical activist, entrepreneur, and father of two based in Central Texas. He began his career in activism in 2002 questioning the official account of what happened on 9/11 and speaking out against the wars in the Middle East. He was introduced to libertarianism by the good Dr. Ron Paul in 2007. As he learned of anarchism and agorism he focused his energies on promot...

Summary: Joe Rogan continues to confound the information gatekeepers by hosting guests deemed unfit to be heard. The latest was Dr. Robert Malone, inventor and patent holder of the basic technology platform used to build mRNA vaccines like the Covid jabs. While their conversation was wide-ranging and informative, they like us arrive at the question no one has a definite answer for: are our would-b...

Summary: CNN reports the Biden administration is “shifting strategy” to combat Covid-19. But the new strategy and CNN’s reporting of it reveal both encouraging and discouraging signs of where the Covid Regime may be headed in 2022. Links: Biden administration signals pandemic strategy shift in the face of Omicron UNICEF: An additional 6.7 million children under 5 could suffer from wasting this yea...

Summary: The media would have us believe the Omicron variant of the SARS-COV-2 virus is a major threat from which only a third vaccine dose can save us. But while their reporting is almost entirely unreliable on any one subject, sometimes comparing what they report on one issue sheds light about the truth of another.

Summary: Politicians and bureaucrats who claim lockdowns and mask mandates slowed the spread of Covid-19 have no explanation for Florida, Texas, Iowa, Sweden, and dozens of other jurisdictions that did not impose the policies or discontinued them over a year ago. One reason might be that evidence for the primary justification for these policies just isn’t there. Links: Bills wide receiver Cole Bea...
