Alright, so here are my live audio recordings from Chillderburg III! The experience was incredible and I was so glad to meet so many people I have known online only for so long. Please give your love to the guests I had on the show. Also, I hope the listeners can get past the audio quality and the various methods I used to make it worse.
Last week, I was joined by TJ Roberts, an Austro-libertarian and second-year law student. TJ was ticketed for attending a church service during Kentucky’s lockdown. He sued in federal court and won. His victory helped set precedent that was used by other federal courts to end some of the lockdown orders across the country.
Prof CJ of the Dangerous History Podcast joined me to discuss several themes we have both covered in our work: the pamphleteers of the American Revolution, the 4th Turning, the chaos of history, nuclear obliteration, and much more.
Jose Galison of “No Way, Jose!” joined me once again for Part II of our review of “The Monopoly on Violence.” We unpack several topics like the Social Contract, the anarchist tradition, qualified immunity, the socialist calculation problem, minarchy vs. monarchy vs. anarchy, and many more topics.
Keith Knight joins me once again to differentiate between individualism and collectivism. In doing so, we rely on quotations from Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard.
How do we best frame the case for liberty when speaking with those on the Left? Keith Knight joins me to discuss the finer points of Dave Rubin’s “Don’t Burn This Book.”
I joined forces with Joanne Leon of the “Around the Empire Podcast” to discuss the US State Department’s influence on the independent media. We also discuss the West’s narrative against China and Russia, nuance in foreign policy positions, the difficulty in discovering the Truth, my latest article at the Libertarian Institute, and many more foreign policy topics.
This last Friday, I joined Shaine Scalph of What’s HAPAning for a marathon livestream. We discuss several topics, such as Biden’s gun control measures, my recent feature article at the Libertarian Institute regarding the Chinese Uyghurs, the problem with civil libertarians, the case for libertarian optimism, podcast burnout, and the legality of vaccine passports.
In February, I joined James Jenneman of Blackbird to discuss a ton of topics: the future impacts of covid, masks, the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, conspiracies, crypto, the Gestapo, and my Grandpa, the John Bircher. In this episode we also discuss Jacobson v. Massachussetts, The Supreme Court case which ruled vaccine mandates are constitutional.
Too often are liberty folks made to apologize for their beliefs or default to the defensive. We should never be ashamed to advocate for the cause of liberty. Conversely, the burden of proof is not on us to justify a free society. Lew Rockwell explains in a December, 2001 article the importance of being bold and sticking to principle, especially when all hope seems lost.
