The Great Keith Knight joins me once again as I share how I recently made a scene at Papa Johns. We demolish the theory that masks are effective at preventing the spread of COVID-19, and use economic parallels to illustrate how COVID-19 adversely affects small businesses.
The Great Stephan Kinsella joins me to discuss balancing the practice of law with scholarly pursuits, the future of libertarianism, and his forthcoming book “Law in a Libertarian World.”
As Harry Browne said, “Freedom is the ability to do what you want with your life.” Keith and I reflect on this message with the help of a few psychological studies of the dying.
Keith Knight and I unpack the ACB hearings from this morning. We discuss separation of powers, conservative vs. progressive vs. libertarian judicial philosophy, and objective morality.
In an unprecedented abridgment of the most basic rights of an ostensibly free society, American citizens are being wholly deprived of their right to Due Process in the name of an amorphous “public health emergency.” This must not stand.
The Great Keith Knight joins me in this episode to talk some current events, and to lift the mask, exposing the societal delusion that voting somehow legitimizes government and its actions.
If the governments of the world have formed and persist in a state of anarchy, does it follow that the State is an inevitable institution? How would a libertarian anarchist society prevent being conquered by a state or prevent itself from devolving into one?

In this episode, I give the libertarian answer to the question “Where does law come from.” In doing so, I refer to seminal English jurist Edward Coke. I also rely on works by Bruce Benson and Hans-Hermann Hoppe.
If you haven’t already heard, Jacob Hornberger is running to be the Libertarian Party Presidential nominee. Because Keith is Keith, he has already interviewed Jacob Hornberger on his show, Keith Knight’s “Don’t Tread on Anyone.”
In this episode, I review Chapter 13 of the “Ethics of Liberty” by Murray Rothbard, “Punishment and Proportionality.” I also discuss my plans for the show going forward.
With a nod to Mike Maharrey and Alan Mosely of the SportsBall Podcast (it’s OKAY to like sports), I talk about how my recent return to watching the Green Bay Packers disgusted me. I also talk about how the corruption and commercialization of sports is akin to the corruption at the heart of the US government.
