If one or Jex lazy Fair on account of man's foul ability, and moral weakness, one must for the same reason, also reject every kind of government action. Welcome to Keith's night. Don't try it on anyone today. I have Kyle anzalone of the libertarian Institute and Patrick McFarlane of the libertarian Institute, as well as the Liberty weekly podcast Kyle. Where is the best place to find your work? Just go libertarian.
Institute.org? My name is up there on the Masthead and that's to Scott Hall. Pete and Sheldon Richmond, excellent, how about your alternative media accounts? We're set up for conflicts of interests on library and me, we so maybe we just search my name. There's also a conflicts of interest group Library. I'll send you the the URL but it's /co. I got it. Pat a remind me of your ultimately accounts. Yeah, brother. So I mean the One Stop Shop is Liberty weekly dotnet.
But I'm on float. I'm on me. We, I'm on Minds. I'm on Library. Odyssey, did shoot. I mean, I could keep going, but there's a lot of places. So just search Liberty weekly and chances are that I am there today. We are going to do 15 quotes for each going to give five that. We thought were sort of just life-changing quotes that really changed the way. We saw either the political landscape history or life in general, Kyle anzalone, start us off with Or first quote. All right.
So I feel like this first one is cheating. Just a little bit because Ron Paul is basically just describing. What why red pill is, which is truth, is treason in an Empire of Lies, but was one of those things that, once Ryan said, it and I started looking at the news and that way, it really helped me go down to the path of Liberty. This was probably like, 2009 was introduced Ron Paul. I would say by 2010. I was a Libertarian maybe 2011 out.
I don't know, you know, when you actually change what I would label myself, but this was one thing where when I started looking at things this way and realize that, you know, the reason people argue no getting a gain in trouble and stuff like that is cuz they're speaking the truth. That's why people are getting censored. And, of course, with the rest of the quotes I have here.
They're all pretty much examples of, you know, when of things people spoke out against and got themselves in trouble for even though it was the truth. Pat. What is your quote for us here? Okay. So for the first one, I'm going to start us off with this is a goodie. I'm going to share my screen here so we can watch it. But the one of the chemical weapons attacks that occurred in Syria. I was just kind of becoming aware of foreign policy.
And I remember this happening where Thomas Massie went on to talk about why, it doesn't really make sense that Assad would gassed his own people. So the reason why this is a red pill quote is because just the Action of the CNN News correspondent and it was red pilling for me. Because you can really, really see the establishment narrative pointing in One Direction. So, it's about a minute, 14 long. We'll just watch it. I'll speed it up, just a tad here for us.
Here we go. You know, exactly what's happening in Syria right now. I'd like to know specifically how that release of chemical gas. If it if it did occur. And it looks like it did how that occurred because I don't frankly I don't think Assad would have done that. It does not serve his interest. It would tend to draw us into that Civil War even further. Who. And so you think, who do you think is behind it. You think you, who do you think
is behind it? You know, you've got a war going on over there, supposedly that air strike was on an ammo dump. And so, I don't know if it was released because there was gas. In the ammo dump or not, that's plausible. I'm not saying that's what I think happened. But you're more inclined to believe the position of what Bashar al-assad is saying and what the Russians are saying, right now than more inclined, to agree with believe what you're
even. Your colleagues here in the United States believe is true that this is Assad and which human rights observers are say, is Assad. I don't think it would have served Assad's purposes to do a chemical attack on on his people. So, I, you know, it's hard for me to understand why he would do that, if he did. Carson time, Matthew. Thanks for your time. Yeah, so she doesn't, she doesn't even know what to say about that. I just love her reaction to that.
I wish you would have called her a conspiracy theorist for just making a claim and not having tons of evidence to, to back it up. But yeah, dude, her eyes. We forget that. There really are, people who believe all this nonsense that they are constantly pushing on us. We are so often reminded of the people. Just laugh it off and don't care at all. We forget that there's actual victims of this, that this Cult of statism Pat, any final thoughts on the corporate press and believing stories.
With no evidence while calling us conspiracy theorists and Thomas Massie. Well, Thomas Massie is awesome and I'll start by that. But I'm other hands. I mean, this happens all the time. I just did an episode with Kyle where we were talking about the China, the, the pure propaganda. Ganda being pushed by Independent Media and China. We went through tons and tons of different ones. You had your interview with James, perloff Keith where you went through Century of War lies
even more time. So it's like this happens over and over again. The media is complicit in it. They, in fact, they push these lies. I went through in World War One, how the British government went through and pushed all these lies, just in flaming the war and starting it. But Kyle fight. If I could tag you about that chemical weapons attack. What was the Truth that eventually came out from that. So I'm pretty sure that is the 2018 weapons attack in Khan
shaykhun. He's talking about referring to the ammo dump and I believe Tom Massie is right there, you know, it's hard to say what the actual conclusion is because there's a lot of flaws in the opcw. That's the organization for the prevention and chemical weapons and their report. Like people were apparently showing up to the hospital before the alleged attack, keeping.
Opened. But what we do know is that there was an ammo dump that the opposition leaders were meeting in the, you know, these are al Qaeda figures, we're meeting in. And when that meeting was happening, the Syrian government in coordination with Russia and in full knowledge of like the
u.s. Carried out that strike on that ammo dump and Not only was Mo stored there, but in situations in Syria, the opposition was taking things like Eliezer cleaners and stuff like that because it's a way to control the population. And so all that was probably stored together. And so there's a good article by Seymour Hersh maybe in the London Review of Books.
I could look up and send you the link Keith that goes into like what the likely outcome of this was but it definitely wasn't an Assad. Chemical weapons attack it, you know, it is tragic that you know, people were poisoned somehow from this attack and end up dying, but it's not The same thing as carrying out chemical weapons attack him. The u.s. Never, you know pretends that collateral damage is what it is. Yeah.
In the red pill moment from that is look at how bloodthirsty and complicit the corporate media's look. How they don't want to wait a single second to gather more intelligence before starting off a global conflict. Well what I mean, what could escalate into a global conflict? Definitely a regional conflict? So yeah. Anyways, so that's my first one. Mine is from Lysander. Spooner. Government is in reality
established by the few. And these few will assume the consent of all the rest, without any such consent, being actually given, until other words, what he goes on to say in no treason as even if you got, everyone's consent at the time every single human being in America, the natives the blacks, the women, the children. Well, they are now longer alive, and you don't have the ability. To transfer agreement to your
kids. So this is a totally illegitimate form of contract transfer, or a transfer of obligations, rather, according to English common law reading, this quote was so important because you sort of get this general idea that well, there is a large-scale consent. Well, if there is consent, you would first have to say, who was in on it and then say when it happened you're saying Something happened. These people, the citizens gave consent to the government. What date did that occur on?
Sir? Surely if I have your car and you say, I never gave you my car in order to say when you gave it to me. One of the first things is, I'd say where we were and when this happened government cannot do that in the same way that we would ask any other organization to. So, really just getting, I guess it's Spooner's ability to say no. No, really explain to me. When this consensual agreement happened, because monarchy we see that's legitimate. That's just a guy claiming to rule.
But what makes democracy legitimate is it's by the consent of the governed? And and that's why, you know what men Arcus States all the way to big governments that are Republic's Democratic socialism is legitimate because it's based on consent. That's the difference and reading Spooner and getting into the idea that it's literally a microscopic portion of It'll just claiming the right to rule. Everyone else was such a mind-blowing quote for me that I
had to bring it up here. Kyle, next quote. All right. The next one I have is from the Great Scott, Horton. The is 2017 book Fool's, errand, time to War and the war in Afghanistan. He says about 9/11, that attack could not have been more
misleading. The planes came out of the clear blue sky and What's guys talking about here, is that if you look at the video, it looks like the planes came out of the clear blue sky and hit the 911 towers and as an American certainly, you know for as young as I was that time, that's what it actually felt. Like, you know, America was a country at peace. We've never you know, we have been fighting War since the fall of the Soviet Union. That was that was kind of my take on the world.
And so this was an offensive strike against the us but in reality and what's God Explains through most of chapter one of Fool's errand. It is that that absolutely wasn't the truth. The US was at war with essentially Iraq, but a lot of the Muslim World from the fall of the Soviet Union on. WE invade Iraq, we stayed and we've continued to intervene and bomb several countries and is not just Iraq under claiming. It was also sedan and others.
Exactly. And Ron Paul mentioned that when he voted to Impeach Bill Clinton. Those are like, so are you voting to impeach him for lying under oath during his deposition? And he said, I am voting to impeach the president bomb de pharmaceutical facility in Sudan. This is going to lead to blow back. This is you know, going to provoke incidents that Americans are going to have to pay the price for. Yes. I'm voting for impeachment. Unfortunately. I wish it were under different
circumstances. It's incredible that we didn't get more of that under Trump because it's like, yeah, I'm voting to impeach him. And then list all the other terrible things that Trump has done. It's always like, well, I really do think the the phone call what the Ukrainian president was. It's so ridiculous. That Ron Paul is such a breath of fresh air along with of course Scott's heroic book Fool's errand Pat.
What is the next quote you have? Yeah, so dovetailing off of that leading up to the September 11th attacks, Kyle anzalone. He mentioned that the, you know, it's a lot of He's lived in ignorance and they thought that we weren't at War and the US was just minding its own business. Well, that leads to in the 90s. There's this famous quote, which is my second one by Madeleine
Albright at that time. She was the US ambassador to the UN and she was interviewed by 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in reference to the years of the u.s. LED economic sanctions against Iraq. I'll play the clip in a minute, but basically all Madeleine Albright takes for granted that 500. Thousand children died because of those sanctions and says that it was worth it that the price was worth it.
So furthermore, before we play that clip, basically because of that she was promoted by Bill Clinton to become his secretary of state and she has attempted to explain it and I'm showing an article by the great Sheldon Richmond here. What's the her response? Made it even worse. She says I must have been crazy. I should have answered the
question by reframing. It in pointing out the inherent flaws in the premise behind it. Saddam Hussein could have prevented any child from suffering simply by meeting his obligations. As soon as I had spoken. I wish for the power to freeze time and take back those words. My reply had been a terrible mistake, Hasty clumsy and wrong, you know, more of a mistake than actually killing the children in the first place. Nothing matters, more. Or than the lives of innocent people.
I had fallen into the Trap and said something, I simply did not mean that was no one's fault. But my own. So, interestingly enough, the logic she uses here is to say well, you know, Saddam Hussein Judas should have gone along with our threatened our threats. He should have met his obligations. That's like saying, well, I'm a burglar it's not my fault. I murdered this person when I was mugging them. They should have just given me the purse is basically the logic there.
So I'll play the clip here. It's not too long. Here we go. We have heard it half a million children of God. I mean, that's more children than died when in Hiroshima and and, you know, is the price worth it. I thought this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the price is worth it. All right. Yeah, so that was the interview. Anything to add. Yes. I'm just making my notes Here. I need to make sure that to see how many New Yorkers. It's okay for me to murder until
Andrew Cuomo steps down. And then, how many Californians. I need to murder until Newsome steps down. I'm just doing, I'm just doing the math. I'm taking Iraqi population - the deaths and translating it to the California population. Kyle while I do the math, any comments on Madeline Albright are our virtuous. Humble servant. I mean, it's just crazy. That this is the the foreign policy of humanitarian intervention is MM responsibility to forget. And to be honest. I wouldn't at all.
Be surprised if let's say Samantha power's or somebody like that in the who was a like, kind of a JB.
Member of the B Administration who now is an, are the Obama Administration who's now in the Trump of ministry are B Administration, who would less a be confronted about like, Yemen or Libya. I wonder if, you know, they would say, you know, well the, you know, the war in Yemen has been pretty brutal, but we think it was the right decision to support the Saudis. Like, I could really see them because they're just that deep of Believers that, you know, eat
if they didn't intervene, it would have been even worse and so they had Do with it. It's just because that one person is really mean, is killing people. It's not us killing anyone. You know, Kyle you got to break a few eggs to make an omelet Kyle. I mean, you're just being naive here. It's great that she like, it's great that she's confronted with children too. Because if it's men, then or people in general, then, you know, there are Rockies.
And so they're probably like influenced by Allah. Our Saddam to do crazy stuff. So, you know, it's a shame. And that, you know, they're starving to, but it's children. So you can't even like project that on them. Is she still like, yeah, it's worth it to kill him. One of the amazing unappreciated things is that she's referring to Saddam, who was the head of the government and she's part of the government in America. This totally throws a wrench in
the belief. That what happens is people are constantly warring with each other governments come in and they issue, peace. They issue a sound currency. They allow for people to trade and respect property rights. It's the opposite people generally are at peace. It's not that a ton of Americans hated a ton of Iraqis and a ton of Frenchman hated a ton of German people. It's like a few people in governments in the ruling classes of each country who wage war against each other.
That's the reality of War. So the idea that well, if it weren't for government, but we'd all be killing each other. Well, no, because of government. So often were killing each other. In a Way that we otherwise wouldn't. So yeah, the belief that government exists to keep people safe and stop us from going to war is, is not only not true. It is the antithesis of truth because they're always trying to provoke us into Wars. Just on the last two things that Pat has mentioned.
Whether it's a fake war in Syria or a fake war with what Saddam and how much more proof do you need? Then? There's Americans who were so scared after 9/11. That they were willing to bomb places and go to war with countries that they can find on a map. It's terrible. Absolutely nonsense. Mine is from Mark and Rose. In a book, titled the most dangerous Superstition Larkin. Road says, if human beings are so careless, stupid and malicious. That they cannot be trusted to
do the right thing on their own. How would the situation be improved by taking a subset of those? Very same careless stupid, a malicious human beings and giving them societal permission to forcibly control all of the others. This is important because It gets to sort of everyone in the conflict of vision scale that Thomas Soul puts forth. Its like well, there are people that believe human beings are born good. And there's people who believe human beings are born terribly
evil. And it's up to us, to sort of lift them up, and there's other people who sort of find them on a scale between good and bad, no matter where your view of human nature, as whether you're, you believe in total depravity as the Calvinists. Do or you believe in human beings are born, good. And then there were sewing and belief that the culture makes them ill and evil and sort of gets them trying to compete with one another, in vicious ways.
No matter where you stand, there is no legitimate argument for the belief in government to the belief that some people have the right to rule over others. So, any claim that well, the the ideas of volunteerism sound nice, but I just don't trust people. As large and Rose has also said, what species do you want running the government? If you don't trust people and you're afraid of, you know, some people taking advantage over others.
How does it then follow that you believe in the existence of a state? One group of people having the right to rule, I believe in his book. He says it's literally like saying I don't trust you to be my neighbor, but I do trust you to be my master. So is that as it is and as genuinely dangerous, as it can be to have someone Engaging in activities that they are free to engage in, it's even worse to allow that person. We've their participate in the political system.
One of the politicians themselves, not to mention who was attracted to political power. But the most evil people in the world, the Kissinger's the mouths of Stalin's, the Pol pot's the the bin Laden's of the world and in David Rockefellers and and everything else. That is my third one, Kyle, Angela. You're next quote, for us. All right. So this one was very impactful for me at the time.
And then, once I, you know, I learned a little bit about it and realize the truth, that was something else and it's from George W. Bush, who said? We cannot wait for the final proof. The Smoking Gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud. And this to me D, would like, when I was a kid, when he said this, I was probably 11. 12 years old. I really believed that. If we Didn't go to war in Iraq.
I was going to die. My family was going to die, and my grandma was going to die and my dog was going to die and when not old. All right, so, you know, finding out eventually that the wmds weren't there, you know, that was kind of explained away. But once I really started to get into, you know, the sky horn show and stuff, and learned that not only do what were the wmds. Now, there, that, that was a
lie. I couldn't have been more mad that somebody made me. So hateful that I just wanted like, you know, pi and care about like a recce children, like too bad that your governments trying to kill us all, you know, you're going to give a wmd toe Sama Ben Laden, you know, to Nuke the Super Bowl. Like, that was really things that like, like, that was warning. I remember after 9/11 I grew up in st. Louis.
So I think that net Super Bowl was the Patriots versus the Rams and like in the lead up, like, on local news. Who's in the lead up to that Super Bowl? Like they were really like talking about, like, what if there was a terrorist attack? What's going to happen? What should people do? And it's absolutely terrifying,
right? And like they're ruining football for me. And so, yeah, like Obama bright like, you know, that's only the mind of 11 year old but and this is supposed to be the mature responsible adult that, you know, as Keith said, you know, we gotta let the person to run the state and everything. Well, um, Up with this person who's willing to terrify children, you know, to try to get his War. Exactly. Pat next quote for us. Okay. So this one goes to what the leads truly think about us.
And it's pretty Stark man. So this is from James Corbett documentary. How and why Big Oil conquered the world? I think this is there's three parts of it. And why I think this is the why
Big Oil conquer the world. So we'll put the the transcript in the show notes page, but Corbett talks a lot about Maurice, strong in this Humanity, and he is a Insider kind of behind the Environmental Conservation, the global warming movement and the true roots of the, the global warming movement is anti-human, and all we have to do is listen to what they say
themselves. So, in 1987, as a precursor to the Rio, Rio de Janeiro, one of the meetings, that was incredibly important, but Maurice strong organized in. Mental conference in Denver, Colorado. It was called the fourth world Wilderness Congress. The meeting took place in Denver. As I said it brought together, Maurice strong, David Rockefeller Edmond de Rothschild, then treasure then treasury secretary, James Baker, and whole bunch of other. Oligarchs bankers and Washington power.
Elites. They were going to talk about the environment and conservation. Right? Well what they actually discussed was more incredible as Corbett writes in his documentary. And I have the link right here. So it was revealed before I play that David Lang was an Insider. He was a banker from Montreal who spoke during the conference, that that's is the one who said the quote that I'm about to
play. But however, there was a scuse me. There was someone who helped George hunt, a businessman in Boulder, Colorado volunteered to help the conference as a concerned Citizen and he came away completely red pilled in horrified, but would he had witnessed at the Conference, he released his own recordings of the proceedings in the early 90s to warn the public about this group that was meeting and its ultimate aims.
And so, this is a something from his documentary that he, he, he released later on. So this is the, he talks about it in this documentary, but this is the actual words that were said, I suggest therefore the dish be sold not to a democratic process that would take too long and devour far too much of the funds to educate the cannon fodder.
Unfortunately, which populates the Earth we have to take almost annalise's program that we can see the on are swollen bellies and look to the Future in time frames and in results, which are not easily understood or which can be with intellectual honesty. Reduced down to some kind of
simplistic definition. So in case you didn't catch that, I know the audio was a little garbled, but David Lang says he refers to selling the their agenda from this conference not to be put it up through Democratic process that he says that would take too long. It would devour far too much of the funds to educate the, the cannon fodder. Unfortunately, that populates the Earth. So this is what we are to these people. We are just cannon fodder were insects. That need to be crushed under a
boot, essentially. And that's my red Bill quote. I mean, just seeing past to what the elites really think about us cannon fodder. Unbelievable. Absolutely. Yeah, excellent choice on on that one. My next one is from Stephan. Kinsella. The reason that this one is important is that it really gets to the syllogism of what it means to embrace and ideology. So while you can so often go back and forth between a republican really means this. Oh, no, that's a rhino. That's a republican in name.
Only what it really means is and then you can spend so much time and Engage in so much efforts that ends up being futile. What he says, for what it means to be an anarchist is to be an anarchist. Only means that you believe that aggression is not justified and that states necessarily employee aggression and therefore, that states, and the aggression. They necessarily employ are unjustified. It's quite simple, really, it's in ethical view. So no surprise. It confuses utilitarians
accordingly. Anyone who is not an anarchist must maintain either. A aggression is Justified or be States in particular minimal states? Do not necessarily employ aggression.
The reason that was so big for me was it's just because can we really get to the heart of what it means to believe in voluntourism or anarchism or libertarianism versus statism monarchy menarche and anything else just the fact that he was able to falsify the position and say all right, but before we get into what you We think will happen because you pretend to be a psychic in the absence of a state.
Let's just say anyone who is not an anarchist as must maintain either aggression is Justified or states, do not necessarily employ aggression, for me. That was, that was just such a Moment of clarity that it allowed me to see things in such a way. I previously had not been able to appreciate, Kyle anzalone next, quote. All right, until my next quote is from Shawn Henry, who is the CEO of crowdstrike? And he said this in December of 2017. There is not evidence.
They he's referring to the DN c-- emails were actually out, that's filtrated. There is circumstantial evidence, but no actual evidence and this was not released until I believe May of 2020 and it was kept Under Wraps by Adam Schiff, who was in control of the house committee. And so the reason that this quote is so important is because in from what 2016 up until 2018, if you denied that Russia got the DNC emails and gave them to week. He leaves. You were a useful idiot of the
Russian regime. At-bats if not a Russian body and just paid off for the Kremlin and they said that there was evidence that Russia stole those emails. This was said time and time again that we know Russia took the emails and they had this evidence for years that the CEO of crowdstrike, the FBI didn't investigate the servers that NSA didn't come to the conclusion that Russia stole, the emails. They based it off of crowd. Reich. And crowdstrike says, they have no, actual evidence.
Not, we have some evidence that we don't think, you know, it would prove Beyond A Reasonable Doubt but no actual evidence.
It's absolutely incredible. And for me, this was crazy because Russia gate was really one of the first things I like, I had a very loud opinion on that was like a mainstream conversation, you know, I cared a lot about Yemen or Palestine or Syria. But mainly those don't get talked about and, you know, I would post stuff on Twitter and I we normies would call me idiots and Trump supporters. And I was like, no, look, there's just no evidence.
I'm not trying to pick a side here and they insisted that they were right all along. And they still can't accept the truth. Now, it's crazy. Oh, we're all right. So another words, the wrong about Russia, the wrong about the minimum wage. They fabricate almost every racial incidents hoax, but We got to trust them when it comes to the vaccine. Absolutely anything. They tell us definitely put it right inside your veins, Pat next quote for us. Okay. So this is the moment I truly
became an anarchist. I remember it very clearly. I was in mice. I think before my first year of law school. I I read anatomy of a state and that was the moment. I really became an anarchist and it was maybe this exact paragraph my quote after this one, my Final quote, is what got me to read anatomy of the state, but this is when it really truly happens. So rothbard rights, if then the state is not us, if it is not the Human family, getting together to decide Mutual
problems. If it is not a lodge meeting or a country club, then what is it, briefly? The state is that organization in society, which attempts to maintain a monopoly on the use of force and violence in a given territorial area in particular. It is the only organization in society that obtains its Revenue.
Not by voluntary contribution or payment for services rendered, but by coercion while other individuals or institutions, obtain their income by production of goods and services, it by the peaceful and voluntary sale of these Goods. And services to others. The state obtains, its Revenue by the use of compulsion that is by the use of the threat of the jailhouse. And the bayonet, having used force and violence to obtain its Revenue.
The state generally goes on to regulate and dictate the other actions of its individual subjects. One would think that simple observation of all states throughout history and over the globe would be proof enough of this assertion, but the miasma of myth has Lain. So long over the state activity that elaboration is necessary.
So true. Is that last sentence from Murray rothbard, I never viewed the state and this lens before and it is horrifying because it is mainstream accepted as a foundation of modern political science. That the state is a monopoly on the use of violence. This is not some harebrained Theory. This is a very well solidified. An accepted fact in political science. It is the Cornerstone of modern political Theory. Thomas Hobbes wrote about it.
Barack Obama talks about it in an interview with military times where he talks about the role that military contractors are playing in our foreign interventionism. So this is very widely accepted. It's not Murray, rothbard being some hairbrained, conspiracy crackpot, theorist. So that was the moment, when I finally realized this, not through public schooling, but reading on my own that I became an anarchist. Exactly. Yeah, and it's so important to understand what you're arguing
about before you start arguing. So when you're arguing with someone who says, you are a Libertarian Anarchist, so you don't like schools. It's not schools, that makes estate unique so you don't like roads. Well, it's not roads that make the state unit unique. You don't like people working together. You just get all of these different bullet points that you realize are completely irrelevant to the nature of the state. And what were actually arguing
over. Shane Killian just had An excellent video of Nick volantis complaining about, you know how money gets involved and money and Corruption and you know, people doing favors for each other and politicians and businessmen. And, you know, it's sort of exploiting the masses. All of those things have nothing to do with whether or not the state is legitimate. But what they do is they make all these criticisms and then attach them to the voluntary sector.
And then say, therefore, We're doing away with the voluntary sector. It's that's why rothbart's work, especially in anatomy of the state is so is so important. Kyle. Have you read that book? Anatomy of the state by Murray rothbard? I have not actually that is probably the best introduction to a rock guards. Were if anyone hasn't read it just because it's so short and, and so easy.
My next One is by a historian Bert folsome in his book, The Myth of the robber, barons, a new look at the rise of big business in America. He says, The myth of the robber, barons can be differentiated between political entrepreneurs and Market entrepreneurs. The political entrepreneur succeeds by using the implicit violence of government to Cripple his competitors and harm consumers, the market entrepreneur. On the other hand makes his fortune by providing consumers with products.
They need at prices. They can afford and maintains and expands his market share by remaining Innovative and responsive to Consumer demand. So the idea that well is business good, or bad or is money? Something that is good or bad. Well, those are actually neutral things. There are principal differences between people who acquire wealth money and social power as rothbard likes to say through the voluntary means and people
who use the cohorts of beans. So as evil as John D Rockefeller, ended up being with his foundations and is cunningness and all this other terrible. Sense. In order for him to get any wealth in the free market. He had to create a good and service that people wanted to voluntarily purchase same with Henry Ford if Jeff Bezos is the most evil man on the planet.
I'll look, let's just say, I grant you that he is well in order to become as rich as he is, he had to create products and services that benefited, tens of millions of people and tens of millions of business owners who operate on Amazon while the state is locking us down stopping Amazon from In any competition, so seeing the difference that there's actually a principal difference between political entrepreneurs and
Market entrepreneurs. Stop Me. Now, pretty much from being a leftist all together and believing that the problem is private versus public and the booze was averse the proletariat. The actual principal difference is between violence and voluntourism. Kyle's next quote. All right. The next one I have is from a New York Times article titled, quiet, support for Saudis and
tangles u.s. In Yemen. And this is an article by the New York Times where they interviewed members of the Brock Obama administration. This wasn't like an expose. It was just explaining why the Brock Obama administration made the decision to support the Saudi war in Yemen and to quote from the article the White House needed to placate. The Saudis as the administration, completed a nuclear deal with Iran. Saudis archenemy, that, that alone and clips concern.
Among many of the President's advisers that the Saudi offensive will be long bloody and indecisive. And so, you know, this one for me, was crazy because up into the lead-up of the war. I was listening to this guy horn show and you know, he had on its first like Nasser are B and I own a Craig and they were saying like, hey, this is going to be really nasty. Like we shouldn't get involved here and not to mention the houthis are the enemies of
al-Qaeda. And it doesn't really seem like a smart conflict to get involved in. And it seems like the White House knew that and it was simply to placate the Saudi princes over there Iran nuclear deal. And in, of course, now seeing how this has played out, of course, the Iran nuclear deal is almost all. A dead at this point. I mean, it doesn't look like the Biden administration's going to bother to try to save it at this point and yet the war in Yemen goes on. I mean, it's absolutely crazy.
They trade a peace deal to start a war and, you know, of course, Obama was a Peace Prize winner. But even with all of that in the the war is outliving, the peace deal is is an unbelievable and stupid, concession that they made. Passed on next record for us. Okay. This is my last quote in. It's a little bit long. So I hope you learned all. I know, I've had long one so far. I apologize for that. But this is the other what I was referring to before, before I
read an atom of a state. This is what really turned me on to the possibility of anarchism. And this is Stefan molyneux used the story of your enslavement. And it was a video that I watched on YouTube. The original of course is not out at all. Re-upload it. So he begins. This is the story of your enslavement how it came to be and how you can finally be free. Like all animals, human beings want to dominate and exploit the resources around them. At first.
We mostly hunted and fished in Aid off the land, but then something magical and terrible happened to our minds. We became alone among the animals afraid of death and of future loss. And this was the start of a great tragedy and it never even greater possibility. You see, when we became afraid of death of Jury and imprisonment we became controllable.
And so valuable in a way that no other resource could ever be the greatest resource for any human being, to control is not natural resources or tools or animals or land, but other human beings. You can frighten an animal because animals are afraid of pain in the moment, but you cannot frighten an animal with the loss of Liberty or with torture or imprisonment in the future, because animals have very little sense of Tomorrow. You cannot threaten a cow with torture or sheep with death.
Not swing the sword at a tree and scream at it to produce more fruit or hold a burning torch to a field in demand more wheat, you cannot get more eggs by threatening a hand by you can get a man to give you his eggs by threatening him. Human farming has been the most profitable in destructive occupation throughout history and it is now reaching its destructive climax. Human Society. Cannot be rationally understood until it is seen for what it is.
A series of farms were human Farmers own human livestock, some people get confused. Used because governments provide Healthcare and water and education and Roads and must imagine that there are some benevolence at work. Nothing could be further from reality Farmers, provide Healthcare, and irrigation and training to their livestock.
Some people get confused because we are allowed certain Liberties and less imagine that our government protects our freedoms, but Farmers plant, their crops a certain distance apart to increase their yields and will allow certain animals, larger stalls or Fields. If it means they will produce more meat and milk in your Country. Your text Farm your farmer grants. You certain freedoms. Not because he cares about your Liberties, but because he wants to increase his profits.
Are you beginning to see the nature of the cage? You were born into? So that got me I was that hit me at the most fertile time. I was very fertile ground for these ideas but stated that way that was I get chills just reading it. So I thought it was very red pill in for me. Definitely. Yeah, appreciating molyneux's work as a people are de. Fooling us for not wearing. The masks are taking the vaccine. My final quote is by Walter E
Williams, rest in peace. He says, prior to capitalism the way people, amassed great wealth was by looting plundering and enslaving. Their fellow man capitalism made it possible to become Wealthy by serving your fellow, man. I think this is probably Mises great Insight in Human Action where he talks about, how did we go from, you know plundering and looting and enslaving and conquering and now there's none of that and it's not that were impoverished.
And we've given up because of moral considerations. We're actually wealthier because we don't engage in that. And what meets us come conclusion is that we aged in the division of labor people, specialized in something and then traded with other people, too. Increase their overall amount of wealth as history goes on. We are much more Diversified in what we consume and were more
specialized in what we produce. Excellent quotes like that by Walter Williams along with, you know, large large scale econ books by people like a little bit Von mises to help us grasp and appreciate the principles behind things like a free market. Free trade private property, allowing people to Lee Express themselves in such a way that for the same reason, you know, we would wanted L to have access to more microphones and radio stations than I do.
Well, we would want Scott and Horton to have more access to books and pieces of paper. Then your average, Joe does another words, the embracing of private property and inequality and voluntary, hierarchy far from being this terrible evil thing. We need to fight against, it's actually something we should embrace. So long as it's done voluntarily through peaceful voluntary
exchange. What I want to end our time on here is I just want to go around and say three books that we thought really changed the way we see the world and that we really would recommend that people read, I will go first because we actually didn't plan on this. So I'm going to give you a minute to write stuff down here. So my three books are Michael humours book, the problem of political Authority. Goes through 1,000 years of medical justifications. For why?
It's okay for this group of people called the government group, to rule, another group of people called The Citizen group. He opens the book up by saying why is it that 535 people called Congress have the right to rule over 330 million Americans and something like that was just so mind-blowing at the time that it was like I was hooked on page one. The second book is everyday Anarchy by Stefan molyneux.
It was such a non-aggressive introduction into the ideas, anarchism volunteerism peaceful exchange, voluntary, cooperation that I finally understood where the anarchist of mindset was coming from because I saw this sort of this guy who sort of reasonable, you know, Dave Smith Tom Woods Murray rothbard Lew Rockwell. I'm like, they're reasonable but at the same time, They don't even believe in government. How could they be? So sane yet?
So crazy and then books, like, everyday, Anarchy really made that clear. Finally, the use and abuse of logic by Madsen Prairie. He is the head of the Adam Smith Institute. And this is a book a collection of 100 logical fallacies that really helped me think clearer and made sure that I not only had a real justification for something, but help me from stop, too. Stop being manipulated by but by irrational arguments. So those are my three, Michael humors.
The problem of political Authority, everyday, Anarchy by Stefan molyneux, and the use and abuse of logic by Madsen priori. Kyle anzalone through books that changed your intellectual life. I gotta say, you know, your we already talked a little bit about Spooner, but of course, no treason. Just the the way that he writes and things about the Constitution. Is real a real change for me. I think up until that point. I read this book.
I was like a Libertarian, but a Libertarian who was like, oh, you know, we follow the Constitution now bring us a Libertarian society and he completely obliterates that in that book. And then the other one I had was Tom Woods 33 questions, the miss one that he goes through and it was one of the first Astral libertarian books.
I read probably have to Ron Paul's libertarian to find, which as for what, maybe replace this one on this list, but, you know, just going through all these little events and history that you've learned about. And you've learned about in a way that glorified this state or, you know, push The Narrative of the state he goes through into bumps like every single one. And I'm pretty sure I keep one from that. Book is not from his Politically Incorrect guy. Book.
Was that World War Two? Brought the US economy out of the Great Depression learning about that was huge for me at the time. And then I have up here play by Aristophanes Called Peace, and it's actually kind of funny. And he lie, pokes fun, at the war mongers of the time in kind of talks about how the kind of farmers are conscripted into the, the wars of the, the politicians and humiliates, like the arms. Acres and stuff like that and the play. It's pretty interesting.
And, of course, this is written in ancient Greece and so reading that and then realizing that oh like this is like apparently what governments have always done, right? And just and of course this through satire, it's not like this, like boring like Greek recounting of like history. It's like Aristophanes like poking, pretty good fun, and making poop jokes and stuff, too. All right, Pat, three books. That changed your life. First off. That's incredible.
Kyle, is there? He's is he talking about like the The Shield makers? I got to ask. How about this, what he's talking about that, even then the military-industrial complex. Yeah, he at one point. He's talking about that like helmet makers or something like that. And, you know, there's like one of those lines in there, like, you know, go and beat your Spears into hose or something like that. My God, that's awesome. So so Kyle, is this book. Lysistrata is what is the title of the book?
It's piece. It's a play. It'll be okay because there's one called lysistrata where he also. Yes, about the military industrial complex. Where is like, there was such an industry for more. That the only way to stop this war was not because, you know, yeah, people were Against others, the women just said we're going to stop sleeping with the soldiers until they stop using violence to achieve their ends. And that's how they do it.
And it's like, oh my God, that kind of wisdom back then because of course, it's what, you know, of course, it's crossed my mind today. It's like, well, if we'd stop clapping for all those soldiers and stop giving them all this positive attention. Of course, I got cussed out at Arizona State University for even mentioning such a thing in, in class once. But, Of course that is, you know, one peaceful resolution to what to stop a war.
So yeah, I'm sorry to plug up the strata but I was actually not familiar with what would that one? Yeah, in fact that another one of my favorite parts of the, I just things Aristophanes road is he at one point is making fun of Socrates and he's saying that like the way you do the Socratic method is to like bend over observe with your asshole. It's absolutely fine. It's like, it's just great that like, that kind of humor, these kind of problems, you know, from
ancient, Greece, and everything. Go ahead. Pat. That's an awesome takai lie. I love how we just both of us, just turned around, and we're like, trying to look through our bookshelves being like, what's your so. My first pick, it would be, it would be enough already by Scott horn, the one he just released, but my copy is on the way. It's in the mail right now, so, but What a good replacement is America's War for the greater Middle East by Andrew base of itch.
And I picked this one because before I read this book, I had absolutely no context. I knew nothing about foreign policy. This starts with the Jimmy Carter years and works works its way to the mid 2000 teams. And so I would suggest everyone start here. It's really easy to understand basic bitch is in the military himself, and he just It all out in a good way that, you know, this is this is a book that you could give your, your, your Republican. Dad, who's always supported the
wars? And it's one thing, you know, he'll be receptive to it. Because it's by someone in the military. It's not written by some peace hippie. Peaceniks. What have you? So that's a good one. Very informative. My second pick is reclaiming the American Revolution, the Kentucky and Virginia
resolutions and their legacy. And this Is written by William J Watkins jr. I've talked about it on my show a lot, but it actually goes through the Deep dive history of the Kentucky, and Virginia resolutions how they came to be what the political climate was, how they, how they were received, and how we can use it in the modern day to fight
against the federal government. I know we did Lysander Spooner and no treason, but if the Constitution's there, you might as well use it just as well as any other methods, so, I'll defer to my interview with Michael, Bolton on that one as well. And the last one that I have is this one is really was my introduction to economics. Aside from economics in one lesson. But this is this is actually not the one that I wanted to grab.
Anyways. Well, this one is a history of money and banking in the United States by Murray rothbard. So this is a good one, too, but I'm trying to think of it was a Murray rothbard one, like our enemy. The thank you. Of the mystery of banking. Yes. Yes. Thank you Keith. Yeah, the mystery of banking. So that was the one that taught me about the FED. How the FED operates, what money is, and what currency debasement is and all that kind of fun stuff.
So those are my picks. Excellent gentlemen, thank you so much for your time. Kyle. Remind everyone where they can find the collection of your work libertarian institute.org there. My name's on the Masthead Kyle, Leon's alone. Also doing the 2021 fundraiser right now matching funds going on.

I'll fifty thousand dollars and we have matching funds. Your donation is tax deductible and you get awesome perks as well. So check that out. You do well. Get awesome perks, you know, it's funny reading about rothbart.
The old Works where he had said that, you know, Warren piece might be the solution to the whole of libertarian question. Overall. And you see that in what changes someone from being more of a conservative, someone who's a utilitarian to someone who's really principled, Mass murderers wrong, theft is wrong, kidnapping is wrong, torturers wrong inherently, regardless of geographical area, something
arbitrary like that. And so, the secrets that is Is taking this principle that you believe in, and then applying it not only to America or Canada, or North America, but also to all human beings on planet Earth.
So when I see that and then I see Scott Horton riding, you know, he's also with us at the libertarian Institute making the most important foreign policy contributions that I could think of. I mean, I know Robert Pape of course wrote a book cutting the fuse along with dying to win. Other than that. I mean, I think Scott Horton has made the greatest foreign policy contributions of our day, which rothbard said was the most essential issue who was the
founder of anarcho-capitalism. So, I mean, please definitely check out the libertarian Institute. All three of us are contributors. Subscribe to the podcast on any of your podcasters. Thank you, too. Kyle anzalone of the libertarian Institute has show is conflicts of As Patrick McFarland, of course Liberty weakly where I am the co-host and thank you to everyone for watching. Keith Knight.
