The amount of spending that our government takes for granted is beyond comprehension for most of us. Maybe we'd be wise to ask: What exactly are we getting for all that taxpayer money? Tom Krannawitter has a pointed and dead-on take on the lifestyles of the rich and privileged political class.
Political consultant Gary Welch joins me to discuss:
- How do you fight big tech, big government, big money? Sun Tzu showed us how.
- Will Biden destroy our country? If not, could the damage that he does actually benefit us? (i.e. going through the mud to get to the mountain)
- An in-depth look at the existing third parties and their reasons for not being effective.

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos drops in for our weekly chat. We talk about how death is being redefined in the age of COVID and how those earlier warnings about where the mask-wearing might lead are coming true.
Reveling in wrongthink may be exactly the right thing to do but it's not going to be easy from here on out. As James Bovard explains, the definitions of treason and thoughtcrime are rapidly expanding to include virtually any voice of dissent.
One of the strongest measures of just how inverted our reality is becoming can be seen in how a love of freedom is being equated, by some, with domestic terrorism. Ron Paul lays out the facts of why libertarians are hardly the worst threat our country faces.

Free speech is the keystone to a free society. Would it surprise you to learn that it also drives economic progress? David Chapek notes that free speech is important not only as an individual liberty, but as a fundamental factor driving the growth and betterment of society.
Did you realize that coronavirus cases are down in the US by nearly 50% in the last month? You'd never guess this was the case by the way many officials and media sources are still peddling fear and anxiety. Jeffrey A. Tucker has a detailed breakdown of how the New York Times is working overtime to keep people in fear, isolation and misery.

We are currently getting the world's biggest object lesson in how politics taints whatever it touches. The chance of "fixing" the things that divide us by doubling down on political solutions is somewhere between slim and fat. Joakim Book has an idea worth considering: The only way to win is not to play.
More and more, I'm becoming a believer in the power of secession--at the personal level. Jeff Crouere points out that this is already happening in rural America and the trend is picking up steam.
It has been fascinating--and disturbing--to watch the progression of "woke" ideology becoming entrenched in corporate America. However, when Burger King starts assuring me that they too are concerned about greenhouse gases, my eyes start to roll. Kimberlee Josephson has a great take on why corporations should cater to consumers rather than causes.

The cat is out of the bag. The American Republic has morphed into an oligarchy. Paul Rosenberg has some fascinating perspective on how the Wall Street complex portion of the oligarchy has managed to create a new kind of revolutionary.
Federalism is a valid concept. Unfortunately, it's been out of fashion, in a big way, since about 1865. As Dan Mitchell explains, coronavirus has revealed many of federalism's virtues in unexpected ways.
Hypothetically, if our monetary system was rigged--just pretend with me--and those who controlled it were able to manipulate it in their favor and their political cronies were able to spend without worry, would that be a good or a bad thing? Mike Maharrey from the Tenth Amendment Center has a great piece on how 50 years ago, Nixon closed the gold window and all we got was this lousy national debt.
Why does it seem that popular support for free speech is fading away? JD Tuccille warns us that Americans who abandon free speech protections had better brace for the consequences.

The Reddit versus Melvin Capital saga over GameStop stocks is fascinating on a number of levels. As Glenn Greenwald explains, this is one of the most interesting and potentially significant conflicts to happen in some time — not just financially but culturally and politically — and it deserves serious scrutiny.
Dissent is being silenced by big tech censorship and deplatforming. Who will be the innovator who changes the rules of the game by creating a new service? Thomas Luongo is confident that the tyrants of today will be the footnotes of tomorrow.
Anyone who is serious about becoming propaganda-proof is going to have to come to grips with the need to unplug from much of the digital media. If there was ever a time to rediscover the value of reading great books, this is it. Jeff Minnick has a great essay on how there's more than one way to burn a book these days.
If the 2020 election was really as cut and dry as we're being told, there would be no need for all the MSM spin and social media censorship. Patrick Byrne has written about what was going on behind scenes and how Trump never really got his day in court. This was shared with me by my friend Brad Green, who writes: "I make no assertion of it's truthfulness; only that it seems plausible and has not been given the opportunity to be proven or disproven."
Forgiving student loan debt sounds like a magnanimous move on the part of politicians. As Words & Numbers hosts Antony Davies and James R. Harrigan explain, there are some serious unintended consequences we should be considering before embracing such a move.

I look up to those who are riding out the current craziness with calmness and resolve. But I really admire the individuals who are sources of encouragement and light to the folks around them. Curt Mercadante joins me to discuss why now is the time to fine tune your own signal and tune out so many of the distractions that keep us from finding it.
The Game Stop saga is simultaneously hilarious, horrifying and revealing. We'll examine what happened, why the elite are reacting as they are and what this latest blowup reveals about the illusion that laws still apply to all of us equally.
A surprising number of people are currently rethinking their understanding of what education is and who should be leading out on it. Jacob Hornberger from the Future of Freedom Foundation has a great essay on national school choice week and how it's not really about freedom.

If you had asked me a few months ago what the most precious commodity was at that moment, I'd probably have answered: toilet paper. Today, my answer would be: our most precious commodity is the truth--especially in regard to the damage done by government-mandated coronavirus policies. Dr. Scott Atlas asks, will the truth on COVID restrictions really prevail?
On the bright side, questioning the official lockdown narrative gets easier every time we see hypocritical politicians violating their own coronavirus restrictions. John Stossel has a great column on the growing list of inconsistencies.
Believe it or not, one of the most enslaving things we do to ourselves is to care too much about what others think of us. Kent McManigal has some very solid advice on the matter: Care what some people think--not what everyone thinks.
Getting the sense that our society is moving away from freedom and toward totalitarianism? How can you be sure that's what's happening? For that matter, what can you do about it? Annie Holmquist has an enlightening take on what to expect when you're expecting totalitarianism.

Monticello College president and founder Dr. Shanon Brooks joins me to talk about what it means to be liber. It's a word many won't recognize immediately but most people quickly grasp its importance once they've heard its definition.
Words are more important than you think. When language becomes twisted, it becomes a tool of control. Gary M. Galles describes what it's like to be awash in warped words.

Have you been scolded by others for not taking the pandemic seriously enough? Donald J. Boudreaux has a great essay about the invidious comparisons being used to keep us alarmed about the coronavirus.
The biggest drawback to most federal "solutions" is that the one-size-fits-all approach always brings unintended consequences. As Martha Njolomole explains, this is especially true regarding a national $15/hour minimum wage.
Our nation's highly politicized atmosphere is waking up a number of folks who never realized how easy it was to be targeted as a radical. Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has been a welcome voice of reason on this disturbing trend.
On a related note, the growing distance between those in government and the people they seek to govern is pretty obvious to anyone who's paying attention. Jeff Minnick asks, and answers, the question: What's behind the disappearance of average Joe? It's a timely reminder to those who seek to rule us that respect is a two way street.
