6/14/19 Ron Paul on the Prospects for Liberty Today
Ron Paul talks about his storied political career and the prospects for liberty under the Trump presidency. Paul is skeptical of Trump's trade strategies, but holds out hope that his good instincts on certain foreign policy issues will translate into an actual reduction of the American empire.

Scott interviews Ramzy Baroud about the conundrum Israel finds itself in today.

Brazil has the largest and fastest growing libertarian community in the world, and though this arrangement can be seen as a major political victory, Epstein worries that the alliance could hurt the reputation of libertarians in the country and in the United States.
