The Tom Woods Show

A bill that became law in Missouri in June 2021 prevents state and local law enforcement from cooperating in the execution of federal gun regulations in the state.

Saifedean Ammous, who's written a brutal smash of the fiat money system, traces other problems to the perverse incentives introduced by the government's money.

In this episode I share with you the audio of a panel on which I appeared alongside Modern Age editor Dan McCarthy, at an Intercollegiate Studies Institute conference earlier this month. Although a conservative, Dan has much sympathy for the sane strain of libertarianism (represented, I'd like to think, by your host here) and thought it would be a good idea for a room full of conservative students to hear me. They'd never heard a libertarian who wasn't a leftist or a coward, he said.

Angela McArdle, who is running for chair of the LIbertarian National Committee and currently chairs the Libertarian Party of Los Angeles County, joins us to discuss her ballot initiative to repeal the vaccine passport system there. Biggest surprise: how many progressives have thanked her for doing it, and how appalled they are that their allies support it.
