Jeff Deist is the president of the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama and former chief of staff to congressman Ron Paul.
Jeff was originally contacted by Pete to discuss his recommendation that people should stop using the term “libertarian” as a personal descriptor, but only as an adjective. They then talk about whether the term “capitalism” is salvageable and how hyperbolic statements used on social media like, “these people want me dead,” should be interpreted and whether they can be viewed as an imminent threat.
In episode 98 Tommy takes on the idea that any one ism should be argued as superior over another. When people argue capitalism v socialism v communism v progressivism v fascism they are forgetting that they are arguing in favor of forced integration or forced segragation. In a society founded on liberty people would be able to choose the ism that best fits them and the coercion that enforces and props up their preferred ism would be null and void.
Zerohedge, a famous financial news site, was banned from Twitter for posting “conspiracy theories” about the true cause of the Coronavirus. What proof did they have? Is the ban justified? Tune in!
Pete wanted to do an episode exploring the subject of whether someone could be a racist and still hold to libertarian values so he invited Vin Armani to come on and have a conversation.
Vin is one of the most original thinkers Pete knows so they set off to tackle the subject.

Trump has called for some US troops to withdraw from northeastern Syria. However this move has Democrats screaming about the local Kurds being abandoned who were our ally, that we were protecting.
However they are criticizing him for the wrong reasons. The real hypocrisy is that Donald Trump wants to continue US aid to Saudi Arabia to bomb children in Yemen and withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal. In this episode, we break down the common thread between all these Middle Eastern conflicts.
In Episode 72 Tommy takes a deep dive into the modern politic of America. The conservative elements of society have coopted the term red pill in an effort to propagandize the public into their idea of order and justice while coopting the progressive idea that government is all powerful, giving people access to inherent rights. As they giveth, so shall they take away.
