Are libertarians uncompromising? (ep 334)
1w ago00:24:07Tap to summarizeWe discuss the loss I have a libertarian congressman Thomas Massie. Are libertarians prone to stick to their ideals in light of compromising and consensus? What does it say about the current situation for libertarians to get their ideas across and live to fight another day?

Greg Louganis PLUS (ep 333)
2w ago00:19:23Tap to summarizeJulie did not seem to be impressed with my personal Gregg Louganis story. But at least I enjoyed it, and so did my high school buddies.So the real topic was the dilemma with deception and theft. Apparently it is prevalent in a large percentage of our population. This seems like a difficulty when we hope to have an open and free marketplace.Follow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Hate Speech! (ep 331)
4w ago00:23:33Tap to summarizeOK, so the 1969 Supreme Court decision about free speech was very nice. The problem is that in today’s world it simply is not enough.That decision about illegal speech was good, and should continue. But speech that invites violence should be called out socially. In other words, criticize people that use terms like Nazi or Hitler or the N-word. People have been getting away with this kind of talk as if it is free speech. Yes, but It is inappropriate free speech. And then maybe we can use the same kind of standards for judging the activities of other countries.Follow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

The Psychology of the Democrats (ep 330)
Apr 2900:21:05Tap to summarizeBoth parties, but especially the Democrats, are defaulting to team competition in their quest to contribute. We talk about large social systems moving between loose and tight, open and closed. Effective systems vary these conditions based on the environment. The United States needs both the left, which is concerned with affiliation/care and the right which is concerned with achievement and conscientiousness. And effective system needs to act like a water faucet between these two, opening and closing based on the particular problem to be solved. We talk about the Virginia redistricting. And,We listen to Victor Hanson and Rahm Emanuel on the problems with the Democrats.Clip Used: From ‘Deplorables’ to Dress-Up: Why Democrats Can’t Win Back Trump’s Base | Victor Davis HansonBy: The Daily SignalFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Trump Supporters’ Extremes! (ep 329)
Apr 2300:22:03Tap to summarizeAll of this talk about war, ice funding, border, and terrorists is getting boring! Could this be about left or right maintaining power in the United States, and Netanyahu‘s clan maintaining power in Israel?Our only response is to seek the truth, vote for the less bad candidate, and hold the winner accountable to achieve goals we agree with!2 Clips Used from: Dave Smith | Defending the Indefensible | Part Of The Problem 1382By: Dave Smith @PartOfTheProblemFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

The Hidden Benefits of Modern Warfare! (ep 327)
Apr 1100:18:55Tap to summarizeIt helps to expose the exaggerations from both political sides. The mainstream media started being exposed with the internet and with “fake news” Trump. But the war “reporting” makes the audience go further toward alternative media.2. It is exposing both the power and the irrelevance of the sophisticated military. In other words, it is not enough.3. It reveals, again, that a country’s population does not automatically cheer for the invading “saviors”.4. Hopefully, the definitions for sovereign nations and proxies will be clarified when this goes further.Clips from Megyn Kelly and Ron Paul Liberty ReportFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Libertarian principles in 'Leave it to Beaver.' (ep 326)
Apr 100:24:31Tap to summarizeCongressmen and congresswomen could take a page out of the nostalgic classic series, "Leave it to Beaver." The interpersonal dynamics depicted in the series portray three elements of the libertarian ideals that are needed for functioning of the country. These are personal freedom and responsibility, courtesy and boundaries, and virtue. John Adams said that virtue is was required for a representative public to function. We ask the question if we have lost the virtue that was part of the fabric of 1960.Follow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography
