My guest this week is Mises Institute President, Jeff Deist. Jeff and I discuss many of the aspects of the culture wars in America right now and what it looks like from our perspective. We also get into whether libertarians should attempt to form alliances with groups on the left or groups on the populist right. Jeff is always articulate and has a wonderful take on so many issues. I'm so happy to have had him on the show once again. I think you'll like this chat a lot.

For this episode, I welcomed Thaddeus Russell to the show. Thaddeus is the author of "A Renegade History of the United States" and founder of Renegade University. Thaddeus details his political journey from being born into socialism and an avowed Marxist for years to someone who now loathes the modern left. We get into Thad's reasons for not being a libertarian, his thoughts on the culture wars in America right now, secession, war, the modern left, and so much more. Thaddeus always brings a very intellectually unique perspective to the table, and I think you'll really enjoy this episode.

My guest this week is author and former professor, Dr. Michael Rectenwald. Dr. Rectenwald is here to discuss the themes of his latest book, "Beyond Woke". He has a wild story in that he is a former Marxist who saw the light, walked away from the progressive left, and is now a paleo-libertarian. We discuss the origins of Woke culture and its religious foundations. We also get into how to fix the university system (or not) and the endgame that the Woke Left strive for. (Hint: It's getting rid of you and your beliefs.) We also get into the problems with the Libertarian Party kowtowing to a group like BLM.

My guest this week is author, former Army Intelligence officer, and all-around smart guy, Donnie Gebert. Donnie is very good at looking at a situation and breaking it down into its individual components to explain what is really going on and why. He brings this mindset to the show as we discuss COVID-19, BLM, Antifa, police violence, and more. It's 2020, and we are never at a loss for crazy moments to discuss, so having a unique thinker like Donnie to chat with is always a plus. I think you'll enjoy this one!

My guest on this bonus episode is founder of the Detroit Threat Management Center, Commander Dale Brown. Dale and I discuss the mission of his company and all of the services that they offer, including entire neighborhood protection. With defunding the government police being a hot news item, I wanted to look at other models of protection and Dale's organization is truly impressive. Dale believes his company is modeled to work with a local police force but one that is a different variation of many that we see now. Dale also explains his thoughts on the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and his ideas on the issues behind much of the violent police encounters throughout the country.

My guest this week is Daniel McCarthy, acclaimed editor of the esteemed journal, Modern Age. Daniel and I discuss the awful people known as neoconservatives and their journey back to the Democratic Party, where they are now in full support of a presidential candidate who supported the Iraq war, Joe Biden. We do a nice dive into neocons, Trump, populism and libertarianism. Daniel is a truly great thinker, and I know you'll enjoy this.
