Dave Smith and I talk a little gossip (the insane Laura Loomer meltdown), and then launch into: Mark Levin and the Boomercons, the topics the Right's censors don't want discussed, how the Israel Lobby works, and more.

In this episode of Live Free Now, John Bush sits down with Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold & Silver to break down what’s really happening in the silver market and what it could mean for your financial future.

They dig into silver, market trends, and the growing interest in hard assets as more people look for ways to protect their wealth. The conversation also explores how and why investors are choosing to trade outside the system, stepping away from traditional financial institutions in favor of more resilient, independent strategies.

If you’ve been wondering whether silver is a smart investment right now, how to prepare for economic uncertainty, or what “opting out” of the system actually looks like, this episode connects the dots.

In New York City, a playful bracket about broken hoops and dumping sites turns routine maintenance into a citywide tournament. Carlee Alm-LaBar, Edward Erfurt, and Alexander Lazard explore what that reveals about complaint driven 311 systems, how priorities really get set, and which neighborhoods get left off the board entirely. Their conversation presses on whether mayors can turn one clever contest into lasting trust instead of a one week story.

When governments restrict speech abroad — even for jokes, opinions, or "offensive" posts — it sets a precedent that could threaten freedom at home.

Across parts of Europe and Canada, governments are increasingly policing speech in ways that would shock many Americans. From fines for insulting politicians to investigations over social media posts, these policies raise serious questions about where the line between free speech and government control should be drawn.

In this episode of The Way the World Works, we explore how countries like Germany, United Kingdom, and Canada are enforcing speech laws that punish people for being "offensive" — even when no real crime has occurred. We break down why these policies are often justified in the name of protecting democracy, why that reasoning is flawed, and how free speech plays a critical role in maintaining a free society.

We also discuss why Americans should pay close attention to these developments — because rights are not guaranteed forever, and protecting them requires constant vigilance.

• How censorship laws are being enforced in other countries
• Why "offensive speech" is difficult to define legally
• How governments justify restricting speech
• Why free speech is essential to a free society
• How similar ideas could threaten rights in the U.S.

Barbara Didrichsen, known locally as “Traffic Granny,” describes how everyday walks filled with close calls in her Pleasant Ridge neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio pushed her to start documenting crashes and traffic problems on her streets. She and Norm talk through simple first steps, like signs and flags, and how they used those results to argue for stronger engineering fixes. Their conversation shows what long-term, resident-led traffic calming looks like on the ground.
