  • Might makes right - the U.S. global 'peacekeeping' agenda

    Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security (Marco Rubio part 2)

    Date recorded: Feb 23, 2026

    Description:

    As 2026 continues to unfold, we’re seeing the U.S. entangle itself ever more deeply on the global stage. For instance, Trump’s Board of Peace has now morphed into a global organization that could rival and/or replace the United Nations. Outrageous? Nope. From the recently released preamble the Board calls for “a more … effective international peace-building body”. What about the normalization of Trump, Musk and many other representatives of the U.S. participating in the World Economic Forum meetings? And Venezuela - what’s really behind the invasion? Join Terra and Peter as they dig deep and bring to light some very intriguing goings-on!

    Recorded from the Live Show on Live the Dream Network March 11, 2026

    Dru Heaton, Arizona Libertarian State Chair and Terra Radliff are guest on the show, offering different perspectives on whether the U.S. war with Iran is justified and examining war powers, constitutional authority, and the growing cost of foreign intervention to American taxpayers. Instead of partisan talking points, the panel models civil debate while questioning the role of government power, Congress, and the Constitution in decisions of war.

  • Is Rubio sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong?

    Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security - Marco Rubio (part 1)

    Date recorded: Jan 22, 2026

    Join Terra and Peter as they discuss what Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has been getting involved in - you might just be surprised! From global disease surveillance and data collection controlled by the US to his Israel ties and combating “antisemitism” globally. But it goes even deeper; membership in a global governing body (Gaza’s Board of Peace), forcing global compliance with US biometric screening and other digital info systems and making global alliances based on AI and supply chain security. This is a must listen to episode!

  • Peace through strength…. or war?

    Title: Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security – Pete Hegseth Part Two

    Date recorded: Feb 23, 2026

    History tells us of the Spanish conquest of the New World using the Doctrine of Discovery, how Manifest Destiny later took its place in the continental US and of its inevitable expansion across the entire Western Hemisphere under the guise of the Monroe Doctrine. Fast forward to today, the US military’s guiding principle is the “Donroe Doctrine” - Western Hemispheric dominance through “strength”. Whether that be through orders to “kill everybody” aboard alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, abducting the sitting president of a sovereign country (Venezuela) or threatening to take - by force if necessary - a Danish territory off the coast of Canada (Greenland). But why stop there? Listen in as Peter and Terra walk you through the US War Department’s “peace through strength” ideology and who it will inevitably affect.

  • Building Out the War Machine

    Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security – Pete Hegseth Part One

    Date recorded: Jan 22, 2026

    How does a war machine become dominant? By honing its operational efficiency and building out its technological superiority. That is exactly what Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, is doing to the tune of billions of dollars. Yet again, fear-based messaging is being used as an excuse to transform our military into Skynet: AI, biotech (transhumanism), massive surveillance, autonomous equipment and so much more. With private partners (can we say fascism?) including Anduril, Palantir and SpaceX, what could go wrong??? Listen in to the details as Peter and Terra lay them out.

    Trump’s Admin – Domestic Security – Part Two

    Date recorded: Jan 8, 2026

    Description:

    No stranger to politics or unethical behavior, does Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, have the integrity needed to guard Americans’ freedoms above the implementation of a surveillance and police state? Or is she just a figure head with bigger ambitions? Not to be outdone, will Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller outpace Noem in pushing for a police state? Well, he did say he was “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus. Wouldn’t that affect every American too? Tune into Terra and Peter’s lively discussion where they answer these questions and much more!

  • Wake Up Live w/ChrisDeSimone - Peter Dru and special guest Larken Rose

    Recorded from the Live Show on Live the Dream Network January 14, 2026

    Libertarian Hour on Wake Up Live features special guest, Larken Rose well known anarchist and comedian. Larken shares what it means to be an anarchist and how he came to this conclusion after many years as a Conservative Constitutionalist. His perspective is unapologetically principled, often uncomfortable, and deeply thought provoking. Whether or not you agree, Larken questions the legitimacy of power structures, and for the open minded, it is an opportunity to sharpen your thinking, test your assumptions and engage with ideas that go far beyond party politics!

  • Terrorism, a means to an end… the police state. This is America!

    Trump’s Admin – Domestic Security – Part One

    Date recorded: Jan 8, 2026

    The border, illegal immigration, drugs and gangs are being woven into a narrative of terrorism to justify defiance of court orders, unconstitutional actions and the formation of a police state. Tom Homan, Border Czar, (we find the term “Czar” quite fitting) is not a newcomer to the immigration game. He’s been honing his views on immigration for decades. His latest scheme? Private prisons - to expand detention and deportation efforts. Lots of money will change hands. But wait, there’s more! Have you heard of National Security Presidential Memo 7? Issued in Sept 2025, it fuses dissent with danger, turns ideology into evidence and treats ideas and associations as evidence…. of terrorism. What does that mean for Americans? You don’t want to miss this episode with Peter and Terra to find out!

  • Election Forecast Commentary from Sept. 2024 - uncomfortably accurate!

    Recorded in Sept. 2024 this episode replay captures the mechanics behind the election before the narratives solidified, and the outcomes became clear. This conversation accurately anticipated post-election messaging shifts, policy alignment across parties, and the illusion of political opposition.

    This episode stands as a timestamped analysis that proved strikingly accurate, Peter and Terra identified digital convergence (AI, surveillance, biometrics) as the real objective and anticipated the rise of techno-populism as a unifying narrative and explained why free speech would be replaced by algorithmic control of reach.
