Who Gets to Decide?

I know what you're thinking. Seth, if WW3 has already started, I would have certainly heard about it. I'm not so sure this is the case. It has been said that the first casualty of war is "THE TRUTH". Is it not plausible that the chain reaction set in motion to create the next global war has already happened? When Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in 1914, do yo...

Andrew Bridgen, an MP in the U.K. Parliament has been courageously raging against his government and the establishment to bring the disinfectant of sunlight to corruption surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the response to it. There is a growing pile of evidence that the safe and effective "vaccines" were anything but and governments around the world not only mismanaged the response bu...

Bernie Sanders is famous for pointing out the Inequality that exists in America today but in placing the blame, he completely misses. Bernie wants you to believe that major corporations and rich people should be taxed more to solve the problem but has nothing to say about the institution that effectively prints money for the entire world. ALL THE CRAZINESS that most of us are complaining about tod...

As many of you know, I've never been a fan of Trump because it is difficult to understand what he values most and to identify his "True North". The Presidency is an extremely difficult job with immense pressure coming from all directions and Americans need to know who their President will be when the going gets tough. This is not an easy thing to figure out about a class of people wh...

It seems like the advocacy for more government in healthcare has been going on since I became old enough to vote. When Bill Clinton was elected President, one of the first things he did was put Hillary in charge of trying to push government healthcare through Congress. Thank God she failed, but it has been moving in that direction ever since, even in the face of skyrocketing costs with the governm...

I am so tired of hearing about how democracy is on the ballot. Liberals in this country are beating this drum non-stop to completely discredit Donald Trump. Somehow if you vote for Trump, you're voting against democracy. This just shows how ridiculous the body politic has gotten in America. Gary Fields with the Associate Press - Poll on Presidential Election https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC5...

Why do people imagine that governments have some special power to solve problems? You can search far and wide and not find a single, real example where this is true, and yet the belief persists in modern societies. The politics of everything has been undermining our world for decades, but the negative results are accelerating ever faster. Whatever the planet has warmed pails in comparison to the c...

There was a time when the conventional wisdom was that institutions were a key component of maintaining liberty. Now it seems they're a key component to the likelihood of a dystopian future and the absence of liberty and human rights. Listen to Dr. Meryl Nass explain why we cannot allow the WHO and biosecurity state to negotiate away our freedoms. We must not allow America to sign onto such a...

All the "Important People" in the media, in the body politic, and many of those in the Democratic Party are "majoring on the minors" when it comes to Donald Trump. They are focused on what he says, how offensive he is, and how he is not a good example of the office of the presidency. To all that, I say "Who Cares"! Liberty is about FORCE which is an action. So the pro...

Frederic Bastiat, a philosopher and an economist who lived during the nineteenth century is famous today for an essay he wrote in 1857 called, "The Law". Bastiat said, "The only purpose of the law is to protect liberty and property." Clearly this is no longer the case in 21st century. The Trump Organization was sued in New York court for supposedly defrauding the State of New Y...

For as long as I have been politically aware illegal immigration has been a political football that Republicans and Democrats pass back and forth at the expense of Americans. Surprise, surprise it's only gotten worse to the point that even Democratic mayors in blue cities are saying that they may never recover or be able to reverse it. Having politicos on cable television making fallacious arg...

How come every major sporting event seems to end in rioting and mobs of people destroying everything in sight? In Kansas City last week there was a shooting during the Chiefs Celebration Extravaganza following their victory in Super Bowl 58 over the San Francisco 49's. A young mom / wife was caught in the crossfire and murdered. We still don't know the identity of the shooter. A lot of cul...

A much talked about interview was finally held in The Kremlin. Tucker Carlson interviewed the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. It was both interesting and revealing if you were somebody not following this situation closely. We simply used the interview to recap what we previously covered in episodes; 7, 20, 35, 36 and 42. If you have time go back and listen to these episodes, do so because it...

WARNING: Bad ideas coupled with the coercive power of government killed nearly 170 million human beings in the previous century. Yuval Noah Harari is an "IDEA GUY" and he is closely connected to government. Meaning, people with political power listen to what he says and stand ready to implement his ideas. We must guard our individual liberty from people like this as if they are fighting...

How much money do schools need before just to stop the downward trend in education performance? Answer: TOO DAMN MUCH! So many of our core collectivist experiments are failing. Isn't it time to give markets a chance? If not, why not? Markets provide so much of what we consume and use. Why do we tell ourselves stories about how the government has to do some things because the market can't p...

One of the things we see happening in the world is weaker peoples fighting back against EMPIRE. This, oddly enough, is what the Houthis and the Palestinians have in common even though they are on very OPPOSITE sides of the same situation. The question is really, if you're small and poor without a great deal of resources and somebody bigger and more powerful is wronging you in some way, what do...

I've often said the liberty or freedom is a popular idea. People do not have to be convinced of it. But this comes with a caveat. What about people who think they're free? Most people who live in America today, in the context of states around the globe, are relatively free. However, most people don't tend to give it much more thought than that. So the question is, "How much freer...

In episode 392 we profiled Javier Melei's speech https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/4mgBYKehKGb given at this year's World Economic Forum. Normally, there's not much to report from there because it is mostly a conference about globalism and where ideas are bantered about that are anti-liberty. This year, however, the president from Argentina gave a brilliant speech warning the "...

Progressive ideology tells us that there is an exorable path to equality and fairness, and that the primary function of the state is to guide society along this inevitable path. Of course, staying on this path over time requires more-and-more of your liberty, money, and property, a curtailment of speech right, freedom of association, even a restriction of movement and travel. Obviously, this isn&#...

Nobody ever really considers the legitimacy of government but we're constantly confronted about the fairness of the FREE MARKET. We're given an endless supply of anecdotal evidence about disparities that exist between individuals and told it's not fair and that government has to intervene with force to right the supposed wrong. Why is so hard to defend the market? Even a cursory examin...

In the remaining years of this decade Javier Melei will end up being the most influential person in the world. That is a bold statement, but he is a bold person with a powerfully bold message for the world. The speech at the WEF should go down as one of the best given on the topic of freedom and prosperity, its neccessary ingredients and the requirements for its continued flourishing. This man cou...

No matter what happens around the world, the state has a narrative that benefits its objectives at the expense of some victim(s). Keith Knight does such a good job of demonstrating this that I just had to play more from his interview on the Tom Woods Show. He points out how the state makes bad decision after bad decision and offloads the consequences to Americans. At the same time, constantly crit...

I have never understood why progressivism is so popular with Americans and especially younger ones. Progressives are all about taking from one group of people and giving to another, but even little children know it's not right to take other people's stuff. However, government has convinced us that it's OK to vote for a politician and let them take stuff from people. Today Keith Knight...

Can you imagine having a boss in any job anywhere in America and just not telling them that you have a surgery and I'm going to be out for a few days? Ridiculous, right? Now imagine being the Secretary of State of the United States of America with a staff, a security detail and a boss who is the President of the United States, and a military command at your direction. The Biden Administration...

Finally after 4 years, the list of travelers on Jeffery Epstein's "Lolita Express" private jet has been released, at least in part. Unfortunately we might never really know why this all was allowed to take place. I think it's clear that it was about much more than just sexual misconduct and the abuse of young women, although it was definitely about that too! ABC's Amy Robach...
