Political consultant Gary Welch joins me to discuss a few of the following issues:
1 Year of COVID, what have we learned and what do we still need to learn. What are our predictions about what is going to happen in the next couple of months?
The legislative offensive on gun owners has been picked up immediately by the Democrats who've pushed for more regulation and gun registration control. Will the new laws gives the FBI the authority to determine if you can own a gun or not?

Eric Peters joins me for another spirited conversation about current events. We talk about a St. George couple whose Hawaiian vacation became a nightmare over a positive COVID test. We also discuss how we beat weaponized hypochondria and what, exactly, is meant by a "safe car."
There's also I'm not saying that the FBI is poised to become post-Constitutional America's secret police. I'm just saying that based on the way they've been working, they're missing a great opportunity. James Bovard is asking all the right questions about them.
Might as well get this one out of my system while I'm still feeling tired and cranky. Daylight savings time is not just an outdated concept, as Thomas L. Knapp explains, it's not healthy for us either.

The president gave a speech last week in which he opined that we might be able to gather with a few friends on July 4 to BBQ, if we behave ourselves and put our faith in government to protect us from COVID. Ramon P. DeGennaro says, leave the choice of restrictions to the market, not the government.
One of the most chilling--if unnoticed--events of the past week has been the Pentagon's spat with commentator Tucker Carlson over women in the military. As Revolver News reports, our armed forces are rapidly becoming a woke welfare department with drones.
The official response to COVID has been highly destructive to our personal and economic well-being. Veronique de Rugy says it's time to stop trying to create a zero-risk society.

One of the telltale characteristics of a totalitarian state is that it cannot tolerate any competing moral authority. As Zachary Yost explains, this is why the recently passed "equality" act is positioned for a head-on collision with Christianity's moral code.
Getting kids to do chores is a challenge most every parent can appreciate. Annie Holmquist has some helpful advice for training kids to do chores while also teaching humility. This is great information.
While a lot of people (in the federal government) are celebrating the latest "COVID relief" spending bill, there's some fine-print chicanery in the details. As Robert Verbruggen points out, the states are being told that the funding they received from the federal government cannot be used if they want to lower their taxes. Say what? Mama, fetch me the Tenth Amendment!
Warning: This topic is going to make some folks uncomfortable. Police across the nation are concerned with legislation that they feel targets them. Welcome to our world. The nature of legislation is that it always targets someone. Kent McManigal has a handy breakdown of the difference between law and legislation as well as peace officer and legislation enforcer.

It's bad enough when politicians and bureaucrats act like they're doing us a favor when they strip away our freedom. But, as John Daniel Davidson explains, when big tech begins treating us like idiot children to protect us from forbidden ideas, we've got a serious problem.
Speaking of being treated like children, Lenore Skenazy has the story of how two children, ages 8 and 10, were escorted home by firefighters after a neighbor called 911 to report unsupervised kids. Skenazy reminds us that living under constant adult supervision shouldn't be a government mandate.
Neighbors calling the authorities over non-emergencies has become an unfortunate part of life in the age of COVID. Doug Casey warns of the dangers of the growing "snitch" culture in America and what it portends for our future.
Reading old books may seem anachronistic in the Digital Age but it's far more than just another way to pass the time. Jeff Minnick has a timely message about how books and those who read them are the real endangered species. Wouldn't it be wise to learn from those who built Western Civilization rather than just the ones trying to tear it down?

The COVID craziness began in earnest a year ago today. Hopefully, we've all learned something useful in that time. Thomas L. Knapp has a great take on the lingering mask mandates and advises Joe Biden to stop bucking the science and resign his ceremonial coronavirus papacy.
As the mask mandates begin to dissipate, there's a lot of damage control being done by the mass media and certain medical authoritarians. Simon Black notes that even the Centers for Disease Control (and Prevention) is about to be punished for heresy by Facebook and Google. Why? Because the CDC has released a report about mask wearing that flies in the face of COVID facemask orthodoxy.
One of the side effects of having politicized and exploited a pandemic is that trust in public health officials is collapsing. Jeffrey A. Tucker explains why this may not necessarily be a bad thing.
With all the other stuff going on here at home, it's hard to stay abreast of what our government is doing overseas. Caitlin Johnstone has a perfect example of how consent that's manufactured by propaganda is not informed consent.
Here's some good news: Walmart and Costco just gave more than 400,000 workers a raise. Why is this a big deal? They didn't do it under the duress of a minimum wage law. Patrick Carroll explains how the free market is superior to the government in taking care of workers.

Political consultant Gary Welch joins me to discuss these topics:
- Institutions - Why do they get inefficient and expensive? Does this only happen to government or all man-made institutions subject to these inefficiencies and becoming less effective as they get bigger?
- Politicians - First: How ironic that Cuomo gets caught in the #METOO movement. He was asked yesterday if his women accusers were lying. He had to say "no" because the #METOOs demand that all women accusers are telling the truth and to deny it is misogynistic. The illogic is mind boggling.
- Second - We think it is about sex, it is not. It is about control and domination. Cuomo, Clinton, Trump, Bush, Roy Moore, Biden - it goes on and on. Party affiliation does not seem to matter. They are driven by super inflated egos and sociopathic tendencies. Once we take this out of the realm of "boys will be boys" and into understanding the pathological nature of these men (and women, I might add), then we should really be asking ourselves: "Do we want these types of people to be making decisions for us?"
- Political Action - The United States never had, does not currently have, and never will have an enlightened electorate. Thinking that the citizens of America are going to rise up and end this corruption and scandals is delusional. There is no historical precedence of citizens acting independently on political matters.

Wrongthinker Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos stops by to talk about current events. One of the questions we explore is why just sell you a car when they can sell you?
We're hearing more and more about Blockchain and Bitcoin these days. If you want a terrific, succinct explanation about crypto, Rob Nielsen has taken the time to spell out the basics.
China is rapidly becoming the dominant player in a number of areas. Fred Reed has a fascinating article titled "Dispatches From the New Cold War" that gives some powerful insights into where China has been focusing its efforts of late. It's eye-opening.

Want to be a better advocate of the truth? Learn how to recognize and avoid common fallacies that allow us to be misled. Paul Rosenberg's weekly essay series on fallacies is a great way to learn about the common rhetorical sleight of hand that we're likely to encounter.
Not a day goes by where I don't find myself feeling real gratitude for the principled voices out there who are willing to speak the truth as they understand it. Donald J. Boudreaux pays tribute to the influence Leonard E. Read had on him and why he's willing to break silence on tyranny at a time when far too many people are afraid to speak up.
One of the most grave injustices of the past year has been the assault on our right to earn a living. Ethan Yang has an informative essay that explains where this threat originates and how long it's been going on.
The insurrection narrative is crumbling. Why do the folks in power seem to be clinging to it every more tightly? Glenn Greenwald has an informed take on the matter.

With everything that's happened in the last year, things aren't looking too rosy for freedom lovers. Ethan Yang poses the question of whether we still have the will to continue as a free society.
To hear some politicians and media "experts" tell it, the most pressing concern facing our nation isn't found in our government's out of control spending, military interventionism or our ongoing loss of freedoms. No, supposedly it's the threat of white supremacist extremism. Alexander Riley explains how these experts have invented a crisis that apparently only they can see.
How strictly do you tend to censor yourself when engaging in discourse with others? You might be surprised at how often all of us are doing it these days. Annie Holmquist makes a strong case for why we should speak up--even when it's risky. She warns that when censorship's the game, despotism is the goal.
Isn't it crazy how many things that were totally acceptable and even loved by society just a few weeks ago are now being declared irredeemably offensive and are being removed from society? Larken Rose has a few thoughts on the hateful caricatures being created out of formerly harmless cartoon and story characters. NB: some adult language.
