Since 2020 we’ve learned how important it is that we still live in a federal republic rather than a monolithic nation state. If things get too bad in your state, you can vote with your feet and many Americans have over the past two years. However, you can also make a difference at the county level. Despite the name recognition gained from being an international professional wrestling star, Glenn Jacobs (WWE’s “Kane”) decided to run for mayor of Knox County, TN and won. He joins Tom to discuss governing during the pandemic and beyond.

Like the country as a whole, libertarians are divided on immigration. And while only private property borders are legitimate in a perfect world, the constitutional solution may be one everyone can at least live with.

Summary: Kevin Gutzman returns to break down the Supreme Court decision on the two vaccine mandates concerning companies with more than 100 employees and health care workers, respectively.

Gutzman is the New York Times best-selling author of five books, including Thomas Jefferson—Revolutionary: A Radical’s Struggle to Remake America , a History Book Club Selection. Gutzman is Professor and former Chairman in the Department of History at Western Connecticut State University and a faculty member at LibertyClassroom.com .

In response to rising prices, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell says the Fed will speed up the slowdown in purchasing assets. Huh? Of course, even if the Fed ceased today, we’d have a massive problem on our hands thanks to the tsunami of money loosed upon the economy in the past two years. But don’t count on that promise to stop inflating in March – at least not for very long.

Bitcoin is a hot topic across the financial world and even libertarians are divided on its future. But how many people really understand what it is and how it works? John Bush joins Tom to explain the basics and answer some frequently asked questions.

Joe Rogan continues to confound the information gatekeepers by hosting guests deemed unfit to be heard. The latest was Dr. Robert Malone, inventor and patent holder of the basic technology platform used to build mRNA vaccines like the Covid jabs.

I provide one possible answer in today’s episode.

Politicians and bureaucrats who claim lockdowns and mask mandates slowed the spread of Covid-19 have no explanation for Florida, Texas, Iowa, Sweden, and dozens of other jurisdictions that did not impose the policies or discontinued them over a year ago. One reason might be that evidence for the primary justification for these policies just isn’t there.

The Kyle Rittenhouse and Ahmaud Arbery cases both involved private citizens providing what some people would argue are services reserved to the state. These same people would no doubt point to these cases as reasons why a stateless society would not work. But do they represent typical behavior in a stateless world?

Spike Cohen is a successful business owner, Libertarian activist, and media figure. As the 2020 Libertarian Party candidate for Vice President, coming in third place in the 2020 election, Spike traveled across the nation by plane and bus and met tens of thousands of Americans to share the message of Liberty with them. Spike started a web design company as a teenager in 1998. In 2017, he retired from web design to focus on Libertarian messaging, entertainment, and activism. This culminated with him becoming the co-owner of Muddied Waters Media, the co-host of The Muddied Waters of Freedom, and the host of My Fellow Americans. Spike is a tireless advocate for freedom with a commitment to help grow the movement at the grassroots level, training Libertarian Party candidates and activists in positive and principled messaging to explain high concept libertarian ideas to everyday Americans, and working towards the Libertarian Party's goal of "a world set free in our lifetime." Since the 2020 election, Spike has become a regular guest on cable news networks, nationally syndicated radio, international media outlets, and podcasts across the globe.

The media would have us believe the Omicron variant of the SARS-COV-2 virus is a major threat from which only a third vaccine dose can save us. But while their reporting is almost entirely unreliable on any one subject, sometimes comparing what they report on one issue sheds light about the truth of another.

There are some signs of hope that Coronasteria may be coming to an end. If the Omicron variant turns out to be more contagious and less lethal than previous versions of the virus, it may do for the population what the vaccines have failed to do. But the damage may already be done. The precedent set that lockdowns, mask mandates, and other tyrannical edicts can be issued over relatively minor pathogens compared to polio or the Spanish flu. And perhaps “health crises” won’t be the only situations in which these tactics are employed.

Eric Peters is widely known as “The Libertarian Car Guy” for his writing on how the government attacks our freedom through regulation of automobiles. But his lively pen and keen insight go far beyond the automotive. His latest article concerns a disturbing similarity between the way the Covid Regime in the U.S. is treating the unvaccinated with the way a notorious government from the 20th century treated a certain part of its own country’s population.

After almost two years of government lockdowns, school closures, and mask mandates, interest in homeschooling has never been more intense.

Mask mandates have gone unchallenged in much of "deep blue" Erie County, N.Y. But Republican Town Supervisor Gary Dickson of West Seneca is pushing back.
