Tho teases out a bit of Rare Rothbard lore - his 1994 essay "The Franciscan Way" and what it has to teach Paleoconservatives and Paleolibertarians in the current purity spiraling maelstrom. Tho reminds Ford that he has been part of the local Republican Party for a year, and they discuss the lessons Ford has learned from a year observing local politics up close. Ford rants a bit about bad drivers, Mildred the PermaSub, and how his teeth have turned against him.
