Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos joins me to talk about the ongoing battle to reclaim and retain our freedoms. Will we ever see an end to the mask mandates? We also discuss new car options that aren't but ought to be.
Think about how difficult it is to get a factual take on current events and then consider the chilling effect on free speech if government officials were to designate investigative journalists as mere "information brokers." This is the chilling precedent that the U.S. government has wished to establish by either kidnapping, imprisoning or assassinating people like Julian Assange and Glenn Greenwald.
Remember how we learned that "information is power" when we were kids? Sometimes that's true in ways that aren't so good or noble. For instance, California has passed and signed into law a bill that will let so-called "violence prevention researchers" know the names and addresses of every law-abiding gun owner in the state. No one would ever abuse that kind of information, would they?
The problems confronting us can seem overwhelming and partisanship can cause us to lose perspective. Emina Elonic reminds us that the single biggest battle that any of us will win is the one in which we find the courage to be good. Historically, this is the dynamic that has led people out of tyranny.

One of the most common challenges that defenders of freedom encounter is the difficulty in helping others understand that we have been moving steadily toward tyranny. It's not just a matter of where we're headed. Caitlin Johnstone says one of the biggest issues is that people don't understand how unfree we already are.
Our colleges and universities have been proving grounds for politically correct thought and social justice warriors for decades.

People who thrive on centralized power are among the loudest and most insistent proponents of telling others to "follow the science." Sheldon Richman warns that mixing science and the state is a sure way to get coercive policies that feed the government-"science" complex and its harmful orthodoxies.

It's getting harder to believe the folks who claim it's necessary to push for more intense Covid lockdowns and mandates. Jon Miltimore explains that this is especially the case when there are real world examples like Denmark where cases are down 60% since the government there lifted all Covid restrictions.
The most interesting thing about tyranny is that it cannot simply be imposed upon us. We have to consent to live under it. Andrew Napolitano says the Constitution can only limit government's influence so much. The rest is up to us.
Isn't it strange how despite the insistence that we "follow the science," there is dissent among doctors and medical personnel regarding the CDC's pronouncements and directives.
