Radio Rothbard

In this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop take a look back at previous statements by current members of the Fed. For years, the Fed said the biggest problem was a lack of inflation. Now, with inflation at historic heights, is there any reason to believe the Federal Reserve is prepared for what to do next?

In this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop mock the self-awareness of beltway foreign policy experts lamenting Putin's challenge to "rules-based international order." With countries like India and Brazil increasingly unwilling to follow the lead of America and the West in sanctioning Russia—and actively pointing out the hypocrisy of the US regime—we may be witnessing the end of the post-Cold War unipolar world.
