43 min - Episode 111 U.S. 'Foreign Policy' Does Nothing But Harm with Daniel McAdams
Summary:
U.S. media covered nothing but the Ukraine War for its first three months – and until Congress had appropriated $60 billion in taxpayer funds for weapons, supplied by U.S. defense contractors. Coincidence? Or is all ‘foreign policy’ merely welfare for the rich?

30 min - Episode 110 The History Behind the FBI Raid on Trump's Mar a Lago with Frank Sorrentino
Summary:
The raid on former President Trump’s residence, Mar-a-Lago, was unprecedented. But while some see it as the culmination of politicization of the F.B.I. since Trump became president, Dr. Frank Sorrentino says the F.B.I. and other federal bureaucracies have always been political institutions.

Dr. Sorrentino has received numerous Teaching Excellence Awards from The National Political Science Honor Society.

31 min - Episode 108 No, Government Spending and Deficits Don't Cause Price Inflation
Summary:
Government fiscal and regulatory policy can cause specific products like food and energy to rise, but those rising prices would result in decrease in demand for other things. Only new money created by the Federal Reserve -whether to monetize deficits, “stimulate the economy,” or bail out zombie corporations – can cause all prices to rise simultaneously.

34 min - Episode 105 Recession or Not, More People Are Producing Less
Summary:
Regardless of how the government arbitrarily defines “recession,” it is still a fact that the economy as a whole is producing less goods and services. That it is creating more jobs to produce less product is not a good thing.

35 min - Episode 103 What Jefferson Meant by 'Created Equal'
Summary:
The left’s insane quest to use government force to make us all equal in every way has caused untold misery and bloodshed ever since 1789. But it is a mistake to dismiss the very different, limited idea of equality in the Declaration of Independence, which is the foundation of all libertarian principles.
