Why oh why do Americans keep electing Prescott's corrupt and incompetent spawn? What right does the Bush family have to rule over the rest of us? How can their insistence on taking positions of power do anything but push people away?
On FPF #437, I discuss Iraqi protesters breaking into the US Embassy in Baghdad. The protesters took to the street outside of the embassy in response to US airstrikes on an Iraqi militia. The US claims the strikes targeted an Iranian backed militia that had attacked...
On FPF #430, I discuss the 2020 NDAA. The bill is filled with funding and approval for more war. An earlier version of the bill actually provided some limitations on the president's war-making powers. However, it was stripped out during the conference committee. I...
Every person takes a different path to finding liberty. Our experiences and our worldviews not only separate us by temperament, but also brings us together in an effort to find liberty solutions for unique problems. In this episode Tommy shares a personal experience...
Government employees are above the law. They can murder whoever they feel like, including with "high-powered, military-style, assault rifles," as long as they feel like it. In this case they were trying to murder an innocent lady but murdered her innocent little boy...
The U.S. and Iran both back the Da'wa or in this case ISCI PM while Iraqi nationalist Moqtada al Sadr denounces. Badr had split from ISCI and was leaning toward Sadr. Iranian Qods Force leader Soleimani intervened to keep Obama's guy on the throne. To everyone of both...

The fastest way to lose a war is to start one without an end state, and that’s the thread we pull from start to finish with Jim Webb. We get specific about what “no strategy” looks like in the real world: no clear objective, no believable measure of success, and no...
Gas prices don’t rise in a vacuum. They rise when chokepoints tighten, reserves drain, and officials pretend the pain will stay contained. We sit down with Larry Johnson of Sonar21 to pressure-test the story you’re being sold about the war with Iran, the Strait of...
A US aircraft carrier packed with 5,000 sailors is not supposed to become a story about empty shelves, broken plumbing, and desperate messages to families. We start there because the USS Abraham Lincoln reports don’t just raise moral alarms, they raise a strategic...
A president who craves praise is easy to steer, and Charles Goyette argues that’s exactly the danger facing US foreign policy right now. I’m joined by the New York Times best-selling author and Libertarian Institute writer to unpack his “mousetrapped” thesis: how...
Trump says the war is going great and the “bully of the Middle East” is no longer in charge. We’re not buying slogans, so we pull the thread on what “going great” is supposed to mean when U.S. munitions stockpiles are thinning, regional bases are taking hits, and the...
A threat is not a strategy, and it definitely is not a negotiating position. We sit down with Ambassador Chas Freeman to unpack why talk of “decapitation,” demands for compensation, and shifting US red lines do not move Iran toward a deal, they push everything toward...
