New Perspective Podcast

Qualified Immunity has become a worse and worse problem over the decades, and has only been more relevant in the aftermath of George Floyd's death. I hope this podcast helps people discuss police relations more intelligently, and clears the air on one of the biggest obstacles to victims of police brutality achieving justice.

In this episode I talk about why we have a two party political system. It has its benefits, but its downsides are compelling enough to convince many to vote third party. Which third party? Libertarian.   

This episode might seem slightly out of touch, because it was recorded before the Libertarian Party selected their presidential nominee. The arguments are still valid, though.

In this episode I talk about the United States government's "War on Coronavirus". We've heard this type of framing before, with the war on terror and war on drugs most notably. I explore the connections between wars against a physical enemy and wars where the enemy is a phenomenon, rather than another nation or state.

The first episode of the Election 2020 series. I talk about Joe Biden's running mate decision, plus what Trump has to do to win office for a second term.

In this episode I talk about the highly controversial Supreme Court case Buck v. Bell (1927). I talk about the context of it's ruling, and encourage listeners to go read the case facts and majority opinion.

Ticker symbols I mentioned:  

GDX: VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF  

IAU: iShares Gold Trust  

These seem to be reliable gold investments. Both are up on the year and on the 5-year. GDX is good if you don’t want to get into the physical gold bullion trading market. IAU tracks the actual price of gold. Definitely do your  own research before investing to figure out if they're right for you. My videos absolutely do NOT constitute investing advice. Go to a professional for that. I am just expressing my personal opinion. My opinions definitely do not reflect the views of any organizations I am currently associated with, or will associate with in the future.    

I did not get into the election in this one. I decided midway through recording that the election deserves its own episode, so look out for that in the near future.  

Forgive the background noise. You’re stuck with my amateur editing for now.
