45 min - Episode 191 The Real Hero of It's a Wonderful Life
Summary:
December is upon us and that means plentiful opportunities to watch the enduring classic, It’s a Wonderful Life. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of viewers completely misinterpret Frank Capra’s dystopian nightmare as a heartwarming Christmas tale. The emotional appeal of angels getting their wings is undeniable. Crying out for correction, however, are the vicious slanders regarding the film’s real hero.

36 min - Episode 188 Scapegoating health insurance for what government has done to healthcare
Summary:
A man who health insurance claims were denied apparently became so overcome with misdirected resentment and rage that he murdered the CEO of United Healthcare in cold blood. Worse yet, many on the left are applauding his crime. Healthcare is certainly broken, but it’s 100 percent the result of government intervention.

39 min - Episode 186 Why the New Deal Administrative State Must Be Abolished Not Reformed
Summary:
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy promise to vastly reduce government inefficiency in the administrative state. But the problem isn’t just that there are too many bureaucrats doing a poor job. It’s that the entire idea of regulation as performed by those agencies is antithetical to America’s most basic principles.
People have a right to buy and sell food and drugs the government doesn’t deem safe, pay and earn wages the government thinks are too low, and do virtually everything else the administrative state sets out to prohibit.
And regulation has always been a tool of the largest corporations to eliminate lower cost competitors.

44 min - Episode 184 Turkey, Lies, and Audiotape
Summary:
The story of the Plymouth Colony contains an important lesson that most Americans never learned because what we’re taught about the Pilgrims in school, like what we’re taught about the Jamestown Colony and much of American history in general, is fraught with distortions, omissions and outright lies.

45 min - Episode 183 Economics was invented to refute Trump's tariff arguments
Summary:
Many of Trump’s promises, such as cutting taxes, removing restrictions on fossil fuels, and cutting the size and power of the administrative state, will greatly benefit Americans. But his promised tariffs will make Americans poorer, as all economic history has shown.
