Pietro is joined by Jordan Dittloff, Victorian Senate candidate for the Libertarian Party here in Australia. Jordan recaps his journey from the Liberal party all the way to prison, then his redemption story which has led him to prominence within the Libertarian Party.

Jordan's campaign has recently criticised the eSafety commissioner, and the bipartisan push to censor Twitter (or X) not just in Australia, but globally also. The two discuss this at length, as well as other topics such as globalism vs globalisation, the nature of rights, the WEF and WHO, as well as the recent ongoings of Jordan's campaign for the next Federal election.

Pietro and Floyd talk about the recent escalations in the Middle East, specifically Israel and Iran trading blows and shotting various missiles and drones at onbe another, flirting with the possibility of nuclear war.

They also talk about the repercussions for war on the US Presidential elections, and whether Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or Robert F Kennedy Junior have any chance of stopping global conflicts and interventionism.

They also discuss the recent stabbings in New South Wales, and how this relates to the gun rights issue, and Floyd recounts his recent experience at the 4/20 cannabis (weed, marijuana) demonstration in Melbourne, attended by various MPs including David Limbrick.

Pietro is joined by David Leyonhjelm, former Australian Senator for the Libertarian Party (known then as the Liberal Democrats). During his time in Parliament, David was a staunch advocate for gun ownership rights, and the two discuss many of the aspects that make up the conversation on firearms.

Some of the issues discussed include: the restrictions on guns, the myths and misconceptions around guns, various comparisons and statistics with other countries (such as Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the US), the libertarian position on guns, and how Australians value feelings about safety over reasoned argument.

Pietro and Floyd talk about some of the recent happenings in the world, including music festivals getting cancelled, the outcome of the Julian Assange extradition hearings, and Australia's Digital ID bill passing in the Federal Senate.

With the cancellation of the Splendour in the Grass and Groovin the Moo festivals, they look at some of the causes (including inflation and cost-of-living), as well as the ways in which media and pundits are avoiding linking these outcomes to the catastrophic COVID lockdowns and grinding shutdown of the economy.

Julian Assange's case shows how the USA establishment is still seeking to punish Assange for revealing state secrets, and they discuss the consequences of a world where the government stores and controls digital identification for all citizens, and how this can be weaponised against everyone.

Pietro is joined by Krystle Mitchell, former Acting Sargeant in the Victorian Police force, who famously quit her job in a live interview with Matt Wong on his show 'Discernable' in 2021.

Krystle tells her story with the benefit of hindsight, what it meant, what was running through her head, and how it's moulded her view of the world today.

The two also discuss how they view the direction of Australia, and how Australians should be wary of government overreach more than ever, with things such as digital ID laws, and misinformation/disinformation legislation encroaching on free speech.

Pietro and Max take a look at recent events, including Nikki Haley finally bowing out to Donald Trump in the Republican Primaries after Super Tuesday. They also look at Joe Biden's fiery State of the Union address, and finally break down the results of the Dunkley by-election here in Australia—what it means for Labor, Liberal, and the Libertarian Party.

Pietro and Max look at the Julian Assange story on the eve of the decision in London over whether he is to be extradited to the United States. The two look at the history of the Assange saga, dating all the way back to the inception of Wikileaks in 2006 and still yet to culminate, with Assange's fate hanging in the balance over the next few days.

The two analyse the libertarian insights to be gleaned from Assange's story, looking at everything from the State's tyrannical persecution of journalism, the hidden atrocities and war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, Trump and Hillary Clinton's role in all this, and much more. Overwhelmingly, this is a crisis of freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of journalism, and is a textbook example of the ongoing battle between the rights of the State against the rights of the Individual (in this case, a hero, Julian Assange).

Pietro is joined by Rick Westgarth, Federal Campaign manager for the Libertarian Party, with more than 20 years' experience in campaigning in elections in Australia. They discuss many of the things wrong with elections in Australia: from compulsory voting (and the harms it creates), to tax-payer election funding, to the ways the major parties (Liberal and Labor) manipulate legislation and regulations to choke out minor parties, and much more.

They also talk about how the media is used by major parties, and how disingenuous politics can be, especially when it comes to preferences, group voting tickets, and back-room deals between big party players. Overall, an in-depth discussion about how democracy really works in Australia, and how the average person can start to fix this rotten system.

Pietro and Max take a look at the Vladimir Putin interview with Tucker Carlson, and break down the nuts and bolts of what was noteworthy about the circumstances and what Putin said. All of this is obviously against the backdrop of the horrific war between Ukraine and Russia which has been raging since 2022, where the Western Media has been fawning over Zelenskyy, propagandising the West on why it is absolutely vital we need to pay for the war.

They discuss many of the intricacies mentioned in the interview, including the Nordstream Pipeline, the assurances from NATO, the missiles shot in Poland, the long-standing animosity between Putin and the CIA, and much more.

The two also take a look at Dave Smith, libertarian inspiration for the show, and his dismantling of Robert F. Kennedy Junior's campaign, by debating him on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Finally, the two look at a short clip of Joe Biden which continues to highlight his cognitive decline.

Pietro is joined by the Libertarian Party's candidate for the upcoming Federal by-election in the seat of Dunkley, Chrysten Abraham.

Chrysten tells the story of her journey into libertarianism and discusses some of the policies the party will be pushing for Dunkley, including removing Fuel Excise Tax, Alcohol Tax, and lowering Income Tax.

Chrysten also discusses how the seat of Dunkley is set to be hotly contested among the major parties, with both Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese having made the trip down to campaign for the Liberal and Labor candidates.
