    The biggest self-induced implosion in politics

    The biggest self-induced implosion in politics

    South Dakota governor Kristi Noem just self-imploded in the most bizarre way. Her new book brags about murdering puppies and goats (yes, really) and lies about meetings with Kim Jong Un. Watch as Hannah covers the controversy. Then, we discuss a new bill called KOSA that claims to protect kids online, but really is just Congress' latest attempt to seize control of the internet. And lastly, we look at the hilarious world of people advertising for nannies with no intention of paying them normal wages.

Mises Libertarians

I ad high hopes for this podcast. As a more left leaning libertarian I was hoping for a little less string rightwing partisan bias. After listening to 3 episodes it is very apparent sound bites are cherry picked and misinformed and uneducated opinions are pushed as true and main stream.
I like how Hannah says its not an echo chamber. Only fooling the people still in that chamber mam.
