STFU Karen

The only thing worse than a quarantine is a Karen. One of these people even took it upon themselves to interrupt today's episode. To get my thoughts on that as well as some other random coronavirus potpourri, check out this episode.

Tax (Theft) Day

Yep, it's April 15th and even though our day of reckoning has been pushed back a couple months because of the coronavirus, taxation is still, in fact, theft.

And Then There Was One

We take a break from coronavirus to discuss the implications of Bernie Sanders dropping out of the presidential race. We're talking Joe Biden and the idiocy of the vote blue no matter who crowd.

Resist The Authoritarian Temptation

The most disturbing aspect of this whole COVID-19 crisis is not the virus or even the looming economic disaster. It's the automatic authoritarian government response to these types of problems. We're seeing some very disturbing trends in that direction and we need to nip them in the bud before it's too late!

You're Fired

We got huge unemployment numbers this week. We lost 701,000 jobs in early march and another 10 million people filed for unemployment in the last two weeks. What's worse is that it looks like the FED policy and government relief programs are going to seal the fate of millions more. Things are getting ugly

Phase 4 and the Seen vs. the Unseen

Donald Trump expressed his desire for another $2 trillion big, tremendous infrastructure stimulus bill today. Here's why Phase 4 will prove to be just as big of a disaster as the 3 phases that preceded it.

Bailout Nation

It's official. The largest bailout in history is awaiting Donald Trump's beautiful signature. Not one Republican in the senate voted against it and everyone and their mother is coming out of the woodwork to get a piece of this pie. But who are the real winners and losers?

Entitlement

I ran a little longer than usual today. I had a lot on my mind regarding our current situation, the gov't reaction to it, and the sense of entitlement permeating our culture. It's a harsh, but necessary message to all of us.

Epic Fail

How would a libertarian Ancap society handle a pandemic like the Coronavirus? Pretty much the opposite of the debacle detailed in the NY Times article featured on today's show.

Mar 21, 20201 hr 2 min

Shut It Down

No, unfortunately I'm not talking about the government. It's just about everything else that is shutting down while the Federal Government and Federal Reserve kick into overdrive. They seem determined to kill the economy once and for all.

PANDEMIC!!!

It's official! Not only is the Corona Virus a pandemic but a national emergency! Everybody needs to calm down a little bit and stop buying toilet paper!

Mar 14, 20201 hr 2 min

Economic Collapse!

If you read any headlines today or tuned into any of the talking heads, you'd think the end of the world has finally arrived. Stock Market Crash! Bond bubble burst! Oil plunging! Corona Virus spreading like wild fire. Cases skyrocket! Deaths soar! And while things do look dire, betting on the end of the world is futile. In today's episode, I go over some of the political landscape after we lost our favorite native american, the effects of the Corona Virus on the markets and overall economy, and ...

Super Tuesday and the Failure of Socialism

The DNC's diabolical plan to prop up Sleepy Joe Biden worked like a charm. So it looks like I was wrong about him having no chance. What i'm not wrong about, is that regardless of this election, socialism will always fail on its own. Here's why.

The Illusion of Choice

The only thing more obvious than the DNC attempting to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders should be the fact that we don't really get to choose who our presidential candidates will be.

A License To Whoah

No, that's not a typo. I've just been watching a lot of Soprano's lately and that's how they say it...California thinks we need occupational licensing and training courses for porn stars and web cam girls. I beg to differ. But this legislation isn't just good for a laugh. It's the perfect teachable moment for why we don't need any licenses at all!

Be Wary of Government

Last night's debate just goes to show you how little faith we should have in the gov't to solve our problems. I give some thoughts on everyone's performance, the gov't approach to the corona virus problem, and their treatment of Roger Stone. Long story short, be careful how much power you turn over to these maniacs.

Mini Mike

Mike Bloomberg was the whipping boy of the democratic presidential candidates in his first debate performance. The only thing he was able to accomplish was to get people to actually feel sorry for a billionaire. These days that is no small feat. What good is all that money if you don't have your dignity in the morning.?

Bootstrapping

AOC seems to think that because it's physically impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps that it's also metaphorically impossible. Well, we can add this to the long list of things that she's wrong about. But it's worse than that. She's not just wrong. She damaging your mind. This is the episode everybody needs to hear.

Feb 17, 20201 hr 1 min

Say It Ain't So, Joe

What do the New Hampshire primary results mean for the Democratic Party and the presidential race? One thing is for sure; Sleepy Joe's days are numbered.

Feb 13, 202059 min

Stronger Than Ever

I give my thoughts on the State of the Union, the Senate impeachment trial, and the (sort-of) final results from the Iowa primary...if all of these events tell us anything, it's that the state of our Union is stronger than ever, obviously.

Feb 07, 20201 hr 5 min

A Huge Embarrassing Failure

Yes, I'm talking about the Iowa Caucuses...and so much more. There are no shortages of government debacles. They are all around us and even though they make something as simple as counting votes or delivering a bookshelf look as difficult as putting a man on the moon, there are still people who believe they should be running every aspect of our lives.

End the Fed and the Outrage Culture

After elaborating on some important aspects of inflation and the Federal Reserve from my previous QE episode, I take on Don Lemon and the Outrage Culture. Inflation is one of the many reasons we need to end the Fed, but we should probably end Don Lemon and this outrage culture while were at it.

AOC Goes Full Retard

And you should never go full retard...or you'll get something like this episode where i eviscerate your bad logic, even worse economics, and Marxist propaganda. Enjoy.

Boogaloo

I'm not sure who was more disappointed in the anti-climactic guns rights protest in Virginia; those advocating for gun control or those that talk of the infamous Boogaloo. But here are my thoughts on the whole situation.

QE or Not QE

That is actually not the question. In fact, it's a distinction without a difference. In today's episode, i break down the problems with the Trump tax cuts 2.0 and give explain not only the problems that exist with today's economy, but how we got to this point. This, is a must listen.

#PrimarySoWhite

For all their talk of being the party of youth, anti-rich, and pro-diversity, the Democrat debate stage is looking more old, rich, and white than ever before.
