Ep. 139: Texit: Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union, with Daniel Miller Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

My guest this week is the President of The Texas Nationalist Movement, Daniel Miller. Daniel is here to discuss his organization's mission and how to get it done. That mission would be a peaceful secession from the union for the State of Texas. Many people used to scoff at this notion until our current political climate and secession movements all over the world have made it seem much more likely. We discuss the logistics of it as well as legal hurdles and common pushback on the idea.

Ep. 136: Correcting the COVID-19 Media Fallacies, with Josh Ketter Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Analytics expert Josh Ketter is back by popular demand. Josh has been analyzing the COVID-19 data for months now, and he is here to explain exactly what data regarding COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and the like is relevant and why. He discusses the red flags to watch out for regarding media reports on anything involving COVID-19. You may have noticed that many in the corporate press are still reporting on "cases" and using terms like "spike" and "surge". These are sure signs that the outlets using these terms are misleading their audience. We arm you with the facts and figures that you need. Josh wraps the discussion with a summary of where we are with this virus and where we are headed.

Ep. 135: Smashing the Lockdowns, with Michael Wolf Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Strength coach extraordinaire Michael Wolf is with me today. We not only get to discuss his profession and weight lifting, but Michael has been doing quite a bit of research on the effectiveness of lockdowns and masks. Obviously, at this point, most people are seeing that the lockdowns are doing far greater damage than they are good. Michael's profession has been hit hard, as many in his field (small gym owners, etc) have had to completely abandon all that they had worked hard to build. What should happen to those who've championed such harm to so many? We discuss that too.

Ep. 134: No, They Are Not Private Companies, with Dr. Michael Rectenwald Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

My guest is a great author, a retired professor, and most notably, a Marxist turned libertarian: Dr. Michael Rectenwald. He is here to discuss his recent speech at a Mises Institute event, called "The Google Election". In this talk, Michael goes over the true beginnings of Google and Facebook and shows that, no, they were not "private companies" from the very start. They were funded by fronts of the CIA and other Federal Government bureaucratic entities. He discusses their formations, their controllers, their algorithms, and their effect on American government, politics, and culture.

My guests today are two of the brightest minds and best writers in the right-wing populist movement. Ryan James Girdusky is author of "They're Not Listening: How the Elites Created the Nationalist Populist Revolution", and he's a co-host on the American Conservatives podcast Right Now. Pedro Gonzalez is the assistant editor over at American Greatness. They join me to discuss Trump, the election, political realignments, the future of the Trump populist movement, libertarianism, and more.

Ep. 133: An Evolution of Political Thought, with Matthew Erickson Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

My guest this week is the co-host of "Wealth, Power and Influence, with Jason Stapleton", Matthew Erickson. Matt has a lot of truly thought provoking things to say regarding his evolving political thought process. We talk libertarianism, anarcho-capitalism, monarchy, and other forms of government. In what type of system would liberty best flourish? It's not democracy, we know that. What about under a system of monarchy? We discuss the influence that Mencius Moldbug has had on Matt's thinking lately. We also discuss the presidential election, and he has a lot of interesting thoughts on it, including: one candidate will be in handcuffs before it is over, and Donald J. Trump will the president come inauguration day 2021. This is one of my favorite interviews, and I know you'll enjoy it.
