The Tom Woods Show

I've known Jeff Shipley since the 2008 Ron Paul days. He's been keeping the flame of liberty alive in the Iowa state legislature for years. He's made some predictable enemies and some unlikely friends, so we're checking in on how it's going.

Bill Buckley once said, "I would rather be governed by the first 2000 names in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty." Kathryn Huwig joins me to discuss the state of COVID, and this idea hovers over the whole discussion.

Marco Bassani of the University of Milan joins me to discuss the idea of the modern state -- centralized, one and indivisible, exercising a monopoly on violence over its territory, with no subdivisions having rights of their own that trump those of the central state. We also discuss an incident at his university that will sound sadly familiar to American listeners.

The outspoken Rep. Anthony Sabatini -- who was more anti-lockdown than Ron DeSantis, who favors marijuana legalization, and -- is arguably the most notorious member of the Florida legislature, and he talks with me about 2020, what DeSantis should do next, what happens when you cross the GOP leadership, and more.

The Libertarian Party's Mises Caucus, which wants tough, radical messaging on lockdowns, war, the Fed, and other important issues on which dissent from establishment thought is rare, continues to make gains.

For months, left-liberals have pretended that Florida Department of Health employee Rebekah Jones was a "whistleblower" whose house was raided because she refused to fudge Florida's COVID numbers. It was always a ridiculous story, but in recent days it has completely collapsed.

Show notes for Ep. 1899

With the CDC's recent statement about the vaccinated (they can go about their lives as before) the scaffolding of the COVID regime is seriously wobbling. Now big stores feel free to announce that "the vaccinated may enter without masks" and by the way "we won't be asking if you're vaccinated." I also discuss the COVID masks/lockdowns quiz I created to show people that you can't tell the difference between places that went for this stuff hard, and places that didn't.

Show notes for Ep. 1898

With the CDC saying that vaccinated people may return to their pre-pandemic restrictions, it's been interesting to observe the crazies' response: having been propagandized and terrorized for 14 months, they're not about to drop their masking and distancing and insanity just because the body they've been screaming at us to listen to is now telling them they can.
