Ep 79Ep. 79: Politics Drops Its Pretenses, with Jeff Deist
My guest this week is the president of the Mises Institute, Jeff Deist. Jeff and I discuss the themes within his recent article, "Politics Drops Its Pretenses" and his recent speech on how "meaningless words" create a narrative. Is "democracy" really a good thing? Do those who use it even know what it means? Are we best off when 51% of the voters force their will upon the other 49%? Is it realistic for libertarians to find the right presidential candidate that will win over a majority of voters in hopes to live in a libertarian society? What if secession and decentralization is the best way moving forward? We will hear the establishment tell us that "politics and voting will bring us together" and "democracy in action is a good thing". Why does it seem, then, that the further entrenched government becomes in our lives, the more divisive and at odds the country becomes?

Ep 78Tales of Tyranny: Freeman Beyond the Wall Meets Death To Tyrants
In an episode I will subtitle: "Tales of Tyranny", this episode features my appearance on the Freeman Beyond the Wall podcast with Pete Quinones. Pete and I discuss several crazy instances of pure abuses of "power" by government police officers. These instances are, of course, appalling and disturbing and we give our thoughts on each instance along with discussing the bigger issue of governmental power in general. Pete is a great podcaster and managing editor over at the Libertarian Institute. He's also the author of the book, "Freedom Through Memedom- The 31 Day Guide to Waking Up to Liberty".

Ep 77The Man That Will Help Fix a Broken Libertarian Party
My guest today is Joshua Smith. He is running for Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee. Josh is on the show to explain exactly why he is the guy for the job. The current chairman has embarrassed the Libertarian Party by demonizing many of the best libertarians out there. Up until I met Josh and interviewed him, I wasn't a renewing member of the Libertarian Party. However, his message inspired me to rejoin and fight to get him elected and the current chairman ousted. Josh is antiwar and anti Federal Reserve and those are a must, in my opinion, if you want to represent libertarianism.

Ep 76Tulsi Gabbard is at War with the War Party
My guest this week is Jack Hunter, writer at Rare, The Washington Examiner and more. We discuss his article, "Democrats Hate Tulsi Gabbard Because She Reminds Them What They Used To Stand For". Jack and I discuss the attacks that Tulsi is receiving from the likes of Hillary Clinton, CNN, NY Times and other pro-war establishment voices. Remember when the Democrats ran against wars in the Middle East? Now Tulsi is the only voice in the primaries speaking out against these forever wars that the US remains in and she is under fire from conventional pro-war mouthpieces. Have the neocons moved into the Democratic Party? Why are Democrats "anti-Trump" more than they are "anti-war"? Are most people tired of the claims from Hillary Clinton that everyone she hates is a Russian Agent? Let's hope so.

Ep 75The Future of the Liberty Movement
My guest today is, Cjay Engel, the proprietor of Bastion Magazine, formerly know as Austro-Libertarian magazine. We discuss the magazine name change and that gets us into a deeper discussion on libertarianism. Cjay and I talk about the identity crisis that libertarianism is facing and the problems that will arise going forward. Many left libertarians are happy to just be anti authority and libertines with no appreciation for Western traditions or culture. There seems to be a cultural war going on within politics and society in general and the libertarian movement is certainly not immune to it. The universalists and neocons have spread their message far and wide and people like Bill Weld and Nick Sarwark have infected the liberty movement with that virus. Bastion Magazine is taking a stance against that type of thick libertarianism and we here at Death To Tyrants couldn't agree more with Cjay. Share this episode.

Ep 74Waco 1993: When the US Government Murdered Its Citizens
My guest this week is the great Scott Horton. Many of you know Scott for his brilliant depth of knowledge regarding foreign policy. However, he's also very knowledgeable on the Waco Massacre of 1993 against the Branch Davidians. Scott breaks down what happened between the ATF, FBI, Military and the Branch Davidians and gets into many of the horrific details. As always, he speaks with passion and clarity and compares what the government did in Waco to the same cover ups they tried regarding Sadam Hussein and the War in Iraq.

Ep 73The Facts About Biden, Trump, Ukraine and Impeachment
My guest today is Joaquin Flores of the Center For Syncretic Studies. We discuss the entire Trump/Biden/Ukraine/Impeachment drama. Where did this all start? How does it tie into Trump's foreign policy? Did Trump and Biden's son break a law? What does Obama have to do with it? Will Trump win in 2020 because of this? We discuss all of this and more. The article we discuss is here: https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/09/27/trump-takes-on-bidens-corruption-in-ukraine-upside-down-world-establishment-media-attempts-to-flip-the-script/ Joaquin Flores can be found here :https://www.fort-russ.com and here: https://syncreticstudies.com You can find me here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

Ep 72A Conversation with Tom Woods
My guest today is the biggest libertarian podcaster on the planet, Tom Woods. Tom has authored twelve books and numerous ebooks. The Tom Woods Show podcast is a daily podcast that he's been doing since 2013. He has created an entire K-12 homeschooling curriculum. He has created a similar thing for adults known as Liberty Classroom. Today, he's here with me on Death To Tyrants.

Ep 71The Silver Lining of Authoritarian Promises
Lately, some politicians have been making headlines by uttering extremely tyrannical promises. As many of you know, Beto O'Rourke has promised, that if he's elected, you will be forced to turn in your AR15s and AK47s. You may also have heard that Bernie Sanders discussed his support for abortion funding in other countries as to promote worldwide population control. Obviously, both of these are beyond alarming. However, I am here to point out the silver lining in these cases. At least authoritarian members of government are being open and honest about their true intentions. For decades, they have put a nice spin on things. Now, at least some of them, are straight up telling you their evil intentions.

Ep 70Fascism, Communism and Socialism: Not A Dime's Worth of Difference
My guest today is L.K. Samuels, author of the new book, "Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum". Mr Samuels details the many similarities and ties between socialism, fascism, and communism. Have you ever wondered why the conventional "left-right political spectrum" is so nonsensical? Why would communism and fascism be on opposite ends when they're so very similar? My guest discusses the many historical parallels between these authoritarian and brutal philosophies, including the fascistic beginnings of Antifa and how modern US political candidates want their own version of national socialism.

Ep 67The Powerful Few Men Behind the Establishment and Popular Culture
What if I told you that there are a few agents heavily connected to people like Anderson Cooper, Joe Biden, Chris Cuomo, Ana Navarro, Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Van Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.... Would that seem odd? Maybe not. What if then, you learned of an email from those agents that warned of ruining a certain political candidate that didn't play by the rules of those particular agents? Would two people have enough powerful connections to ruin someone's reputation in terms of how the masses viewed that person? Have you ever noticed multiple outlets using the same propaganda against certain public figures that might not "play the game"? Listen to this episode and learn about some powerful people that have a very specific agenda.

Ep 66Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt: A Conversation with Paul Gottfried
Today my guest is the great paleoconservative author and political philosopher, Dr Paul Gottfried. We discuss his book, "Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt". He offers his unique takedown of the version of multiculturalism that the administrative state enforces on society. He precisely shows the Protestant roots of the guilt politics that has driven much of the state's agenda for the last century. Does the state truly care about real multiculturalism or is it about power and control? Paul gives his take on the post-Marxist movement and what he calls "cultural totalitarians". We also discuss Tulsi Gabbard and if there is or isn't an anti-war right in this country. I highly recommend Paul's books. You can find them here: https://www.amazon.com/Multiculturalism-Politics-Guilt-Secular-Theocracy/dp/0826215203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=14Y17UXTK0WL7&keywords=paul+gottfried&qid=1566143851&s=books&sprefix=paul+gottf%2Caps%2C166&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Death-Marxism-European-Millennium-ebook/dp/B07FZ766S8/ref=sr_1_4?crid=14Y17UXTK0WL7&keywords=paul+gottfried&qid=1566143851&s=books&sprefix=paul+gottf%2Caps%2C166&sr=1-4 You can find us here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter here: @buckrebel Donate to my Patreon here : www.Patreon.com/deathtotyrants

Ep 65Talking About Tulsi Gabbard
Today I give you my take on Tulsi Gabbard. I also interview Washington Examiner journalist, Brad Polumbo about Tulsi and the brutal takedown that she gave Kamala Harris in the latest of the Democratic Primary debates. Should libertarians show Tulsi some love? Why doesn't the establishment like her? We cover all of this and more. Plus- I unveil "Buck's Law Of Politics"!

Ep 64The Russia-gate Narrative Turns to Dust
We were promised that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin colluded to screw Hillary Clinton out of her rightful spot as President of the United States. Then we were told that we should just wait until the Mueller Report comes out. That would really implicate Donald Trump as a Russian Puppet. Then that didn't seem to turn out so we were told to just wait until Mueller testifies. That will bring all of the dirty collusion facts into the spotlight. But then.......nothing. Was this a lie the entire time? Who made this stuff up? Why did so many people fall for it? My guest today is, writer and author, James Howard Kunstler. We discuss Trump, Russia, Hillary, Mueller, Obama and more. Find James Kunstler's work here : www.Kunstler.com Find his article we discuss here: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/07/james-howard-kunstler/a-purview-of-dust/ Find us online here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter here: @buckrebel Thank you for your support!

Ep 63The Rise of Woke Capitalism
So what exactly is "woke capitalism"? Have you noticed the fashionable trend of big corporations trying to prove how unbelievably politically correct they are? There was a bill to ban late term abortions in Georgia. That did not sit well with the leftist big corporations in Hollywood. They threatened to boycott the state of Georgia. Google has said that they want to sway the 2020 election away from Trump. Facebook, Apple, Twitter and YouTube ban voices that are to the right of Bernie Sanders. How "woke" are these big businesses? What's the best way to fight it? My guest today is Dr William Anderson, professor of economics at Frostburg State University. His article that we discuss is here: https://mises.org/wire/rise-woke-capitalism You can find me here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast follow me on Twitter here: @buckrebel

Ep 62Teaching Bernie About Rights
My guest today is the very bright and articulate, Bradley Thomas from www.erasethestate.com He wrote an article called, "What Murray Rothbard Could Teach Bernie Sanders About Rights" and breaks down, with great precision, exactly what rights truly are. We get into negative vs positive rights, human rights, economic rights and of course, property rights. We then get into some general political topics of the day like, the current state of the Libertarian Party, tariffs, tech censorship and more. Go check out www.erasethestate.com for more of Bradley's great work. Follow him on Twitter @erasestate Find me online at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

Ep 61The Welfare State is Tearing Sweden Apart
My guest today is the former president of the Swedish Chapter of the Mises Institute, Jon Nylander. We discuss the large welfare state in Sweden and the damage it's doing. There has been a large influx of immigrants into Swedish society in the last few years and rather than assisting various cultures with assimilation, the welfare state is pushing them further apart from each other. Markets bring people together and multiculturalism is much more harmonious but heavy government intervention and state sponsored welfare does the opposite.

Ep 56Talking Paleoconservatism With Paul Gottfried
Many ideas that were big in the Paleoconservatism movement are becoming popular once again. What do Paleoconservatives believe? When did this movement start? What is interesting is that libertarians and Paleoconservatives sure many of the same enemies. Why is that? If there is a go-to person to answer these questions, it's longtime Paleoconservative philosopher, thinker and author, Paul Gottfried. He was kinda enough to join me and we break it all down for you including populism, right wing vs left wing, the libertarian and paleo connection and of course fascism and socialism.

Ep 55The Insanity Of The Left Isn't A New Thing
Do you hear about the stories of leftist insanity on college campuses today? Is that a new thing? Is it as bad as it seems? Is there any pushback at all against it? My guest today is professor and author Eric Kaufmann. We discuss this and much more, including his new book, "Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities".

Ep 54The Truth About Russia-gate
Despite several years of media lies, we now know that Putin and Trump didn't actually get together and collude to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. The Russia-gate mess showed us which media can't be trusted when we're searching for factual news. We also now know who can be trusted and my guest today is one of the good journalists. Why did the Russia/Trump investigation start? What did we actually learn from this investigation? Did Trump's views on foreign policy actually make him a target from the beginning? Will some dark figures operating in secrecy be found out now that a new investigation is being launched into the origins of Russia-gate? Daniel Lazare has been reporting on this from the beginning and he's here to break it all down for us.

Ep 53A Professor's Wild Journey From Marxist To Free Market Libertarian
My guest today is former NYU professor Michael Rectenwald. He is an author of several books including, "Springtime For Snowflakes:Social Justice And It's Postmodern Parentage". We discuss his wild journey from an avowed Marxist to a free market libertarian and the subsequent fallout when he defected from the ideologically homogenous blob that made up his peer group within the university system. We get into post modernism, post structuralism, social justice warrior ideology and the other philosophies that poison modern leftism and the modern university campuses.

Ep 52Libertarian Freedom vs Conservative and Progressive "Reform"
Do you know the big differences between libertarians, conservatives and progressives? Well my guest today is Jacob Hornberger from the Future Of Freedom Foundation. He believes that one major difference is the constant talk from conservatives and progressives to want to "reform" government programs and our wish that the program be completely abolished. We don't want to reform immoral boondoggles, we want to eliminate them. He contends that we are modern day abolitionists who don't want slavery tweaked and reformed, but rather gone altogether. We go down a list of political programs like social security, medicare, the war on drugs, the military industrial complex and Jacob explains where we as libertarians stand and where our conservative and progressive opponents stand. We then get into the rumor of Jacob exploring a libertarian party ticket presidential run.

Ep 46The Russia/Trump Narrative and Media Credibility Are Dead
We have been fed lies for more than two years now. Trump colluded with Putin to steal the American election in 2016 from Hillary Clinton. American Democrats, "never Trumpers", resistors, neocons, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS....they've all peddled this lie. Now, they must face a reckoning. I interview Sumantra Maitra, an we discuss the Russia collusion lie and the guilty parties that must now face a reckoning.

Ep 31The Gross Love for the CIA
Recently Bill Maher had ex CIA director John Brennan on his show. Just a few years ago, the left showed skepticism toward massive government spy agencies. Not so now. Bill Maher treated John Brennan like the second coming of Christ. Keep in mind, John Brennan actually aided Al Qaeda. Why all of a sudden, does the left love people like this? I discuss that today.

Ep 30The Dark Legacy of John McCain
The media, the establishment and most politicians from both "sides" of the aisle fell over themselves trying to pontificate about what an amazing man John McCain was. Luckily, there are writers and thinkers like my guest today, Tom Luongo. He calls John McCain out for being the slimy establishment brutal warmonger that he was. The amount of blood that was on McCain's hands is immeasurable. The amount of lives and money that were lost due in part to his policies, leadership positions and votes cannot be overstated. It's time to call him what he really was. A war loving demagogue.
