Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week is the 2020 presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, Jo Jorgensen. Dr. Jorgensen was kind enough to give us some of her time, and I enjoyed getting to know her political positions better. We discuss police violence, war, the income tax, what libertarianism means to her, and several other good topics I had not heard her discuss before.

This week, we recorded LIVE from the Liberty Tree Tavern in Elgin, TX! I am joined by two co-hosts this week, Bobby Pearson of the Not For Everyone Podcast and Moral Bob of the Conversations About Freedom Podcast. We are at the Liberty Tree Tavern because I wanted to have the owner of the bar, Kevin Smith, on the show. Kevin instituted a "no masks allowed" policy at the Liberty Tree Tavern around two weeks ago when people were still freaked out about dying from COVID-19. As you can imagine, the mob came after him. He received threats, doxing, and all of the usual scare tactics the fundamentalist left likes to use. He also gained a lot of support from locals and people from all over coming into his bar and wanting to tip big and give him their business. Kevin shares stories from his days with Alex Jones and the Ron Paul Revolution days as well. Also, just to add to the environment of a live, on-scene recording, there are two scuffles that break out WHILE we are recording the podcast. We also do a Q&A session at the end. I know you'll enjoy this episode.

My guest this week is author and founder of the Rutherford Institute, John Whitehead. John and I discuss the growing authoritarian Police State in America. From lockdowns to murders by cops to the growing technocratic state with contract tracing and further violations of the fourth amendment, more than any other time in history, our civil liberties are under threat. Unfortunately, the younger generation has been groomed to accept things like this through government schooling and agenda-driven mainstream media. John gives some very helpful suggestions on how to wake people up and fight this system moving forward.

On this bonus episode, not only do I have a great guest in Megan Murphy, but I have a co-host in Bobby Pearson! Meghan Murphy is back on the show to discuss how elements of the left will not stand for her pure version of being a feminist. Meghan is very well known in the feminist movement, having started Feminist Current in 2012, Canada's leading feminist website. She now speaks to large crowds and is often protested by people within the trans community who try to shout her down for standing her ground and speaking up for women and free speech. I wanted to have her back on for a casual chat and to catch up on her latest projects such as her YouTube show, "The Same Drugs". My friend, fellow AnCap, and host of the "Not For Everyone" podcast, Bobby Pearson, is my co-host, and we wanted to just have a fun, casual chat with Meghan, and that's what this is.

My guest this week is Alex Epstein, author of the book, "The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels". Alex is here to do exactly what it sounds like: make the moral case for fossil fuels. Alex brings a refreshing perspective to the topics of global warming, CO2, energy, and so on, in that he uses human life as the standard of value. Alex brings overwhelming evidence that mankind's use of fossil fuels is supremely virtuous because using fossil fuels transforms our environment to make it wonderful for human life. The Green Movement puts human life way behind "untouched nature", and in more cases than not, they will be quite honest about the low value they place on human life. I think you'll enjoy this wonderful red-pilling perspective on this topic.

My guest this week is Mises Wire assistant editor, Tho Bishop. Tho is here to talk with me about the "red pill" and what it means to have taken it. There have been many moments in the last several decades where people have had their eyes opened ("taken the red pill") and realized that media, politicians, universities, and other State institutions were lying to them to further a separate agenda: Waco, Vietnam, Iraq, the 2008 crash, the fake Russia scandal, and the list goes on and on. We discuss some of these moments in history that have red-pilled people. We also talk populism, libertarianism, Trump, Justin Amash, Mises, Rothbard, Hoppe, and more. I know you'll enjoy this discussion with Tho Bishop.

My guest this week is the great writer, Peter Van Buren. He is here to give his humorous take and brilliant insights on the insane moment that we are living through right now. Many on the left have been paralyzed by a fear of leaving the house, and they're pushing their religion of Statism and Fear on the rest of us. They have become like rescue dogs, constantly imagining new fears and odd things to freak out about. Apparently, the same people that have promised Trump is a Russian spy, we have to take out Assad, Trump will cause a depression after he takes office, Robert Mueller will change everything, and so on and so on are now telling us that locking down an economy and not allowing people to work is the only way to save humanity. They're also telling us that now, believing "all women" isn't a priority like it was during the Kavanaugh hearings. Can you believe these people? Do their loud monotonous voices drive you crazy? Then you'll appreciate this chat between Peter Van Buren and me.

My guest this week is Mises Institute Senior Fellow and Austrian Economist, Dr Mark Thornton. Mark discusses the economic downturn we are currently in, and it's one that he and many other Austrian economists predicted. It wasn't caused by the coronavirus, although the virus may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The symptoms of this bust have been in place much longer than the symptoms of the coronavirus. The fundamentals were weak, and the Federal Reserve, as usual, is the problem, not the cure. Dr. Thornton details what went wrong, what will make it worse, the systemic damage that the shutdown is causing, and the long term effects of this all. He also discusses what would help things and what we should've done from the start.

My guest today is Cato Institute Senior Fellow, Doug Bandow. Doug wrote a recent article called, "Now's the Time to Become a Truly 'America First' Military". This coronavirus mess has not only caused an economic shut down and disaster, but congress has voted to spend trillions of dollars to help "fix" things. We now know that drastic changes at the federal level will be necessary. There is simply not enough money for grandiose ideas at that level, so it's now time to end the wars and start pulling the troops home... from everywhere. We couldn't afford the global military adventures before. We certainly can't afford them now. So it is time to do what people like Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan have been saying for years: bring the troops home and defend the United States from home.

My guest today is entrepreneur and podcaster Michael Cheney. He has put together a fact-filled eBook detailing many important aspects of the coronavirus. As he puts it: "This is not about conjecture – this is about facts and gathering available data in a way which clarifies what we are being told, how much of that is true, and what we are not being told..." Michael put a lot of research into this book, and I ask him about all of it in this interview. From the death rate statistics, to the issues in Italy, to the government overreach in order to "flatten the curve". Why are the methods to help fix this mess so heavily politicized? We hit on all of these issues in this episode.
