Pietro and Floyd discuss the recent agreement between the USA and Australia, through Joe Biden meeting with Anthony Albanese) to regulate Artificial Intelligence. They look at some of the worrying possibilities this might create for a surveillance state, and compare the way government attempts to co-opt new technologies (such as digital currencies) to further control its people.

They also look at the Ukraine and Russia war, at how Ukraine is likely to lose, and how the corporate media narrative is changing.

Finally they discuss the recent US Republican Primary election debate in Miami, and how Vivek Ramaswami wipes the floor with his war-hungry, neo-con opponents, especially Nikki Haley.

Max returns from his overseas travels and in something a little different, he's interviewed by Pietro about his travels abroad. They look through a libertarian lens at everywhere Max has been - Los Angeles (California), Mexico, Guatemala (almost) - and Max has some truly interesting stories to tell.

The climax of Max's adventure lands him in the center of a Mexican annual street protest over the Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968, which is a story not to be missed. As always, there are various tangents of discussion, including complaints about Gavin Newsom, Kevin Rudd, Scott Morrison, and fan favourite: Dan Andrews.

Pietro is joined by Ethelyn King, Libertarian Party candidate for the upcoming Mulgrave by-election, where she hopes to take Dan Andrews' former seat.

Ethelyn tells her story of how she became first a libertarian during the COVID lockdown period, and her disapproval of the omnibus bill, as well as outlines her plans for remedying the damage that the State government is unleashing.

They also talk about some specific policy areas, including cost-of-living, education reform, voluntary voting, and even touch on nuclear energy.

Pietro and Floyd take a deeper look at the conflict between Israel and Palestine, as well as Joe Biden and the USA's promise of support. They discuss how war propaganda operates, how the hysteria (driven by media) always tries to make the current conflict seem like the most important event of all time, and how humanitarian crisis after humanitarian crisis is used to create perpetual war.

They also take a look at how the war between Ukraine and Russia has taken a back seat, discuss how libertarians should view war, and argue over what might be the best way to spread a message of liberty and hope in a time where World War III seems more likely.

Argentina is also about to potentially elect a libertarian in Javier Milei, and the boys try to predict possible outcomes ranging from his election to his assassination (either literal or character assassination).

Pietro and Floyd break down a big week of news. First the Indigenous Voice to Parliament was rejected here in Australia with a resounding win to the No Vote campaign. They discuss Marcia Langton and the Yes vote campaign, how the woke lefty brigade will cope with this setback, and how we will undoubtedly be hearing lots more about racism, misinformation and disinformation in the coming weeks.

They then break down the New Zealand election, the ACT party's success, the repudiation of the Labour party (as well as everything Jacinta Ardern did), and what this means for libertarianism.

Then they have a look at the conflict between Israel and Palestine, some of the horrible takes by people such as Robert F. Kennedy Junior, and how US is already starting to beat the drums of war to the tune of the Military Industrial Complex.

Pietro and Floyd celebrate the end of Dan Andrews' reign as tyrant of Victoria. They talk about Dan's rule, Dan's successor, and why Dan resigning isn't actually a victory for liberty. They also look at recent developments in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament's "yes" and "no" campaigns.

Exactly two years after the Melbourne anti-mandate tradie protests, Pietro and Floyd take a look at the media, and how corrupt agendas influence the stories they tell and how they tell them.

Specifically, they look at the recent attacks on Russell Brand, as well as the past attacks on Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and Jordan Peterson.

They also take a look at how the media can be overly favourable to causes, especially when they suit the State's narrative, such as with the Indigenous Voice to Parliament's "Yes" vote campaign.

Pietro and Floyd (filling in for Max) talk on the anniversary week of 9/11 about what this moment can teach us about government and State power. They also discuss how lasting effects are still with us, and how in many ways it paved the way for the COVID hysteria.
