Self-Evident and Forgotten

Welcome to Self-Evident and Forgotten, a podcast on the truths of liberty and odd opinions! Hosted by Stanton, Kristi, and Cody, we explore the beautiful ideas often forgotten today that have given life to a free, peaceful, and prosperous society.

We're missing Kristi again! So, Cody and Stanton yuck it up over something rather...yucky. As we and others across the state and country come together in person, more and more businesses are opening, schools are hopefully going back to in-person learning in the fall…it feels like things are getting back to normal. But, there's a growing threat now that people are back into the regular economic drive, a consequence born from misguided government policy. Welcome to the terrible, no-good world of inflation. It's insidious, it's powerful, and its threat to a free society is almost entirely unknown to most Americans.

Here's the link to Kristi's article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/opinion/white-house/557037-bidens-massive-budget-proposal-leaves-the-nation-fiscally-vulnerable%3famp

And forgive Stanton's echo-like sound. He's just moved into a new office and is still playing with the quality.

Liberty lovers alike, share common values: a principle of limited government, a belief in the fundamental equal dignity and rights of all people, and an enduring sense that freedom is not only an effective foundation for society, but a moral one….HOWEVER, there are times when we can have serious disagreements with real impact on not only policy, but the movement for freedom itself. Today, we conclude with our final installment of our Great Debate series. We've done immigration, intellectual property, and Big Tech. Today, we tackle the very tricky subject of children. Namely: do parents own their children?

Life is busy, and we couldn't find a time all three of us were available. So enjoy Stanton narrating all three of our thoughts, reflections, and answers!

In our first part, we looked at immigration, and in our second we discussed intellectual property. Today, in our third installment, we discuss regulating Big Tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Liberty lovers alike share common values: a principle of limited government, a belief in the fundamental equal dignity and rights of all people, and an enduring sense that freedom is not only an effective foundation for society, but a moral one. However, there are times when we can have serious disagreements with real impact on not only policy, but the movement for freedom itself. We explore those disagreements in our Great Debate episodes, and today we continue with the question of intellectual property, and the concepts of copyrights and patents.

We'd like to begin a series of those disagreements in our Great Debate episodes, and today we begin with the question of immigration.

The world decries capitalism for the evil of monopolies -- those greedy profiteers who would sap the people of their wealth by being the only ones who produce a good or service. But most people fail to realize that so called "natural monopolies" are impossible. The only monopoly you see today aren't from the free market, but from the government. In fact, the longest running, best protected, and most common monopoly are government public utilities, the providers of some of our most necessary services. Join us and Sarah Hunt of Hunt Public Policy as we discuss how the rise of broadband utilities, along with all the others, threaten the foundation of our right to property, and a prosperous society.

A free people demand that they solve their own problems. The same principle (of subsidiarity) applies directly to communities, as well. Whether we're talking about state rights vs. the federal government, your local school district vs. the state capitol, or your store manager vs. corporate HQ, those most immediately and directly connected to a problem are best suited to solve the problem. Abandoning this idea means surrendering not just your responsibility to deal with difficult situations, but your autonomy to do as you see proper.

From Washington to today, every president has had cabinet, a group of official policy advisors to the Oval Office. These officials are often personally responsible for implementing major programs that can either protect or hurt liberty. Today, we're examining some of Joe Biden's top picks for his cabinet, from the Department of Justice all the way to the Department of Health and Human Services.

Joe Biden's inauguration caps a wild election year and beginning to 2020, but it most certainly will not be the end of anti-freedom shenanigans. In today's episode, we explore what is going on with the Republicans in the deep south, and wonder if the US is categorically shifting to the left. We rip apart the LARPing rioters at the Capitol on January 6th but worry about civil liberty violations that could be coming from this. And finally, we take some time to figure out the insane response to these riots, from state cultists decrying the sanctity of Congress to Big Tech's influence on free speech.

And for our 10th episode, we introduce Shout Outs to those we want to highlight or thank. Enjoy!
