Summary:
By reacting to Trump’s speech like a garden variety leftist mob and nominating a candidate who supports all the Establishment’s strangest fetishes, the Libertarian Party has once again positioned itself as seeking the power structure’s approval rather than challenging it.

Summary:
The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States but has not yet challenged the major parties at the national level. The 2024 Libertarian Party National Convention could begin to change all of that. Former President Trump, RFK, Jr., and Vivek Ramaswamy will all appear at the convention to speak to the party’s delegates. Chair of the Libertarian Party Angela McArdle joins Tom to discuss these startling developments.
Guest Bio: Angela McArdle currently chairs the National Libertarian Party and is a two-time congressional candidate for California's 34th District. She has worked in litigation for over 10 years, with a focus on property rights and constitutional law. She joins me now coming off her election victory to become the chair of the national Libertarian Party.

Summary:
In early March 2020, Donald Trump was saying very sensible things about the danger of trying to lock down the entire country to contain Covid-19. Then, one day, he abruptly changed his mind and became pro-lockdown. Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York and Dr. Anthony Fauci also responded sensibly to the pandemic initially before suddenly embracing “the China solution.” What caused this drastic change of approach and why is no one curious about it? Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute joins Tom to discuss.    
Guest bio:
Jeffrey Tucker is Founder, Author, and President at Brownstone Institute. He is also Senior Economics Columnist for Epoch Times, author of 10 books, including Life After Lockdown, and many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press. He speaks widely on topics of economics, technology, social philosophy, and culture.

Summary:
In the midst of Covid hysteria, John Ziegler released his extraordinary podcast analyzing the Penn State scandal, reaching the conclusion after eight years of investigation, that not only was there no cover-up by Joe Paterno or Penn State, but that there were no crimes committed by Jerry Sandusky at all. For most of us, it was Penn State, then Covid, then Ukraine. For John, it was Penn State first. He joins Tom to discuss what it all means.
Guest bio:
John Ziegler is the host of The Death of Journalism and With the Benefit of Hindsight podcasts. He is also a documentary filmmaker, author and a former TV sportscaster and radio talk show host. He is most well-known for his second feature documentary film, "Media Malpractice" about the 2008 presidential election. He has appeared on numerous national TV shows as a guest, including the "Today Show" and "The View." He attended Georgetown University and while he grew up in Pennsylvania, he has no direct ties to Penn State. He is politically conservative/libertarian.
