Ep. 622 From the Air Force to Rothbard: Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski’s Journey
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, who was working at the Pentagon on 9/11 and has spoken out about the corruption of the intelligence-gathering process, has her own story. She didn’t begin her military career as a Rothbardian libertarian, that’s for sure. But then something happened —… Read More
Ep. 621 The IRS Is About to Terrify Organizations into Shutting Up
Wait until you hear the new rules the IRS is set to impose on a wide variety of organizations in September 2016 if all goes as planned. For example, forbidden “electioneering” will include so much as the mention of a candidate’s name on a website. We… Read More
Ep. 620 Trump, Buchanan, and the Death of the Political Consultant
Another interesting side effect of the Trump insurgency is that salaries of supposedly indispensable political consultants are coming way down. Trump is crushing the field while spending a pittance on such people, and ignoring all standard political advice. Another person to do this was Pat… Read More
Ep. 619 Rothbard’s Depression Analysis: More Relevant Than Ever
Murray Rothbard, the great Austrian economist, drew on Austrian business cycle theory to describe what should be done to make sure a depression ends as quickly as possible — and it’s the opposite of the advice the American intelligentsia has recommended since the Great Depression.… Read More

Ep. 617 Ron Paul’s Guide to the Election
Twelve-term congressman, former presidential candidate, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul answers listener questions — and I limited them to questions he hasn’t been asked a million times before. So no “Should I run for office?” or anything like that. Just good,… Read More
BONUS Ep. 616 Pope Francis and the State of the Catholic Church: The Inside Scoop
I’ve had many requests for an episode on Pope Francis and the current state of the Catholic Church. I covered economic issues in episodes 497 and 54, but this episode is a general discussion of Church politics, who Pope Francis is, the state of opinion… Read More
Ep. 615 One Debate, Three Funerals: Lew and Tom Discuss the Miami GOP Debate
The debate was much more serious this time around than it was last time, and Lew believes it’s because the candidates see the writing on the wall and want to go out with dignity. Whatever the motivation, it’s still good fodder for Lew and me,… Read More
Ep. 614 Rothbard: The Genius and the Man, and How to Approach His Work
Murray Rothbard’s work, more than anything else, is responsible for making me into a libertarian. I continue to learn so much from that vast body of scholarship, spanning several disciplines. He was unforgettable, too, for his infectious enthusiasm and lively personality. On the occasion of… Read More
