Weekly live webcast/podcast devoted to discussion of news and politics from the perspective of Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Hosted by Amy Peikoff.

Planned topics for today: Taxes, Twinkies, Terrorism and Testimony. Republican politicians and pundits are preparing for Congress to cave on taxes. Hostess Brands is the latest casualty of government interference in the economy. Israel acts to defend itself from terrorist attacks while the media misrepresents the nature of the conflict and the U.N. calls for *Israel* to show restraint. General David Petraeus resigns amid scandal and then changes his story when testifying before a House committee investigating the attacks on Americans in Benghazi -- are these two related somehow? Call in live or join in the chat room to discuss these topics with me!
