I recently spoke to a group of young conservatives at an Intercollegiate Studies Institute conference whose impression of libertarianism had largely been formed by our worst representatives. I reassured them that we're not all cowards and leftists, and a very productive discussion ensued.

In this episode I walk you through and comment on a bunch of primary source documents no teacher refers to and no anthology contains. But they exist, and they tell a story about the states and the federal government that the establishment would prefer you not hear.

Samuel Goldman wrote an interesting article days ago for The Week in which he made the case for precisely this. It's actually a respectful article about us, which is rare, but where would be the fun without a critique by Woods?

Adam Curry, former MTV VJ and now co-host of the No Agenda Show, joins us to talk about his work to keep podcasting, which has thus far had to deal with less content suppression than other forms of media, free from outside interference, so programs like this one can continue to bring you the truth.

Eric Brakey and I have a wide-ranging discussion about the evolution of the GOP, what Trump should have done differently, the importance of Rand Paul during the virus fiasco, the slowness of the GOP base to appreciate how much they're hated, and a lot more. Thanks to Eric and his Free America Now podcast.

The fanatics who have been trying to silence dissident voices have made it so doctors risk losing their licenses if they come down publicly on the unpopular side of a controversial medical topic. My guest today, Dr. Jon Ward, is trying to change that.

Libertarian city council member Cara Schulz left her audience spellbound at a recent meeting during a discussion of chronic pain sufferers. Doctors are having their hands tied and people with unbearable pain can't get the care they need because the authorities pretend they're looking out for drug addicts or would-be drug addicts. None of the arguments for the current system stand up to scrutiny, and Schulz made mincemeat of them in a detailed and devastating presentation.

It may be true that our money is screwed up at the federal level, but there are actions we can take at the state level to counteract the lunacy. JP Cortez of the Sound Money Defense League joins us to discuss what can be done more locally to protect ourselves against the ongoing debasement of the dollar.

Ian Miller, who has spent the past two years generating over 2000 charts showing the failure of all kinds of alleged "mitigation measures," has honed in on the mask issue in his new book, . Sponsors: &

Jared Wall operates and got a taste of what it's like to be an entrepreneur in a legally murky area. He shares his story with us today.

Saifedean Ammous is a top Austrian economist and an important authority on Bitcoin, and it was my pleasure to make an appearance not long ago on The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean's podcast. We discuss our experiences studying at Columbia University, and the different paths we took in discovering Austrian Economics. We discuss how we became independent academics, operating outside of traditional institutions and how this gave us more freedom of speech and the ability to to reach a larger audience. We also talk about our work promoting rational thinking on masks and coronavirus lockdowns, the influence of "fiat" academics like Dr Fauci, and the various restrictions on speech that we all have to face.

Judge Andrew Napolitano recently featured Jeff Deist of the Mises Institute and me on his podcast Judging Freedom. We discuss the Supreme Court decisions regarding vaccine mandates, and where American society is likely to go from here.

Scott Atlas, special adviser to the president on the coronavirus and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, discusses his work at the White House, the truth about Fauci and Birx, and the collapse of the public health establishment's credibility.

Jake Wiskerchen and Mike Sodini of Walk the Talk America are helping within the mental-health community to reduce stigmas and negative stereotypes about gun owners while reducing, among gun owners themselves, the stigma surrounding mental health counseling, in order to reduce suicides by firearm.

Lew Rockwell, publisher of and founder and chairman of the Mises Institute, joins me for a wide-ranging discussion of restrictions around the world, whether political action can do any good, what another Trump run would mean, and so on.

With all the domestic insanity we're understandably focused on, it's easy to neglect what's happening in foreign policy -- Ukraine and Kazakhstan seem so remote to us, after all. But the lizard people could be cooking up a real disaster here, and we need to know what's going on.

We've been spending so much time focused on the virus madness that we may have missed some of the less dramatic insanity of the Biden world. Case in point: mandates on cars that will have a dramatic and deleterious effect on the automobile market. Libertarian car expert Eric Peters joins us to discuss this and other issues, including how to buy a used car on a budget.

Eli Klein, a lifelong Democrat, opposed the COVID restrictions from the beginning, and says he will never demand proof of vaccination to enter his Manhattan art gallery. Sponsors:

Tom Mullen returns to discuss how the Federal Reserve, the institution that's been kept off everybody's radar and was scarcely discussed in politics until 2007 -- nearly a hundred years after its creation -- ought to unite even people with the most divergent ideologies.
