What Then Must We Do?

As RFK Jr. is grilled by a roomful of politicians about his plans to re-shape public health agencies, I speak with classical homeopath Sarah Thompson about how we got to this point.

We talk about the history of the political takeover of medical practice, education, and research, including the founding of the AMA and the economic incentives behind this power grab.

We also talk specifically about homeopathy, and a...

Tom Luongo likes to pull on threads. He keeps pulling no matter where they take him, even they lead places that challenge some of the most deeply held convictions of libertarians.

In this episode, we talk (again) about Tom's view that – in this particular moment in time – we might want to be cheering for the US Federal Reserve, because it could be that it is fighting a beast that is much bigger, more dangerous, and ha...

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Clinton Ohlers, Vice President and Director of Media Relations for SafeBlood, an organization that helps to match donors with recipients in need of blood that does not contain components of an mRNA injection.

We talk about why there is a need for "safe" blood donations, and how SafeBlood works. We also discuss the development of a test to determine whether or not blood has been c...

In this episode, I speak with economist Dale Steinreich about our dysfunctional health-care system (in the US), and about health insurance in particular.

What is wrong with health insurance? Why does it so often seem to operate against the interests of its consumers, rather than for their benefit? Does this represent some kind of failure of the free market? Or is something else at work here?

We go into the nature ...

In April of 2021, then-Labour-leader Keir Starmer visited the city of Bath on one of those visits where politicians walk around a place and pretend to care about the people who live there. 

He wasn’t prepared for what Bath resident, and proprietor of The Raven Pub, Rod Humphris, had to tell him. Humphris gave Starmer a piece of his mind about the destructive and authoritarian lockdowns, and then when the Labour leader tried to take ...

I speak with independent journalist Jeremy Hammond, about the upcoming presidential elections, and about the nature of voting, and of the state, generally.

Is it more responsible to refrain from participating in an illegitimate system founded on coercion? Or should we strive to make things better by choosing the lesser of two evils?

Jeremy is the author of several books, including Obstacle to Peace: The US Role i...

There has never been a period in my own lifetime when American people have had so little trust in, or regard for, the nation's government. Witnessing the events of the past four-plus years – or indeed, the past couple of weeks – one might rightly declare that we have reached peak clown show in the realm of governance.

So is it time to just cut it loose? Would it be better for states to simply go their own ways, and le...

What is "fiat science"? It's what you get when the state creates a lot of money out of thin air, then hands out bunches of it to scientific establishments, where decisions are made not on the basis of market forces, but on the basis of political ones.

I speak with genetics expert and founder and CSO of Medicinal Genomics, Kevin McKernan, about why fiat science is a problem, the utter failure of the regulator...

“Unfettered capitalism” creates a “dog-eat-dog” world in which the strong profit at the expense of the weak, everyone only looks out for their own interests, and society becomes selfish, atomized, and less human, with its members caring only about making money, not about each other.

So goes the standard mainstream view of a free society, and free markets. If you went to a government school, you heard some version of this.

Economist G...

Rebecca Charles' daughter Danielle had a slight cough, fever and pulse-ox reading of 88 when she walked into the hospital on August 27th, 2021. Hospital staff then spent 40 days administering hospital protocols that Rebecca says resulted in her death, at 28 years of age.

Danielle had special needs, and had had someone with her at all times during her life. In the hospital, she was isolated, forcibly restrained, depriv...

Does God want women to be silent and submissive? Kaeley Triller, author of the Substack, "Honest to Goodness", has a lot to say on the topic.

We talk about Kaeley's changing relationship with the church, and with God, about scripture, and about how to discern truth in spiritual matters. We dig at the roots of the battle of the sexes, and ask what happens "when you sideline half of God's army."...

I’ve posted before about efforts to create “safe” blood supplies and networks, for those of us who don’t want to risk being exposed to the mRNA product in the event that we may need a blood transfusion.

The missing piece – until now – has been that none of these networks are able to provide blood in cases of emergency, when it is needed immediately. That is about to change.

In this episode, I speak with fellow Kentuckian, n...

When I discovered Kristi Yapp's Substack, "On This Day, Last Year – Six Months of Turbo Cancer", my reaction was something along the lines of "finally! Now we have our Solzhenitsyn!"

Kristi is too modest to accept the comparison, but I think it is apt. We've had mountains of reporting on the effects of the experimental gene therapy for Covid-19, we've seen the excess death numbers, the my...

I speak with Samuel Bornman, author of "Of Wizards and Warriors", the first in a fantasy adventure series written from a Christian perspective, with boys in mind. We talk about what boys need from fiction that they're not getting, some of the problems with modern children's literature, transhumanism and our relationship with technology, and why Samuel has had trouble getting his book into Christian bookstores.

Like most libertarians, The Brownstone Institute's Jeff Tucker has long been a proponent of open borders. So have I. But we both feel that events of the past few years require a more thoughtful response than the standard anti-state-border rhetoric. Including, perhaps, admissions that we've been wrong all along.

Have we?

Jeff and I explore some of the complexities of the current crisis along the southern ...

"A Paradise for Parents" is not your ordinary assisted-living facility. While the past four years have witnessed elder care descend to what can only be described as abusive levels of isolation and neglect, Hal Cranmer, who heads up "A Paradise for Parents'" five locations in Arizona, does things very differently.

We talk about Hal's approach to giving his elderly residents their best possible ...

I speak with economist Bob Murphy about what needs to happen in order to heal the deep dysfunction that is healthcare in America. If you think we can "reform" our way out of this mess, you might need to listen to this interview. We unravel the complexities of regulation, the insurance industry, licensing, and what an alternative way might look like.

Bob's book on "surviving the sick-care sinkhole"...

When newly elected President of Argentina Javier Milei described his anarcho-capitalist position, he referenced economist Bob Murphy's Chaos Theory. So I asked Bob to come on the show and explain to everyone what anarcho capitalism IS.

We cover a lot of ground in this one, discussing how a society could operate with privatized justice, law enforcement, and even defense, and taking on all of the usual objections, from ...

"Good cops kill Jesus," says Dominic Scarcella, author of "Good Neighbor, Bad Citizen: Reflections on the core social conflict revealed by Jesus Christ's Way of the Cross."

We cover a lot of ground in this interview: Can one be a good neighbor and also a "good citizen"? Or are the two fundamentally at odds? Should Christians put their faith in the authority of the Bible, or religious lead...
