The Liberty Mic

We cover TSA complaints, progress of the Middle East war and French cinema.

We talk about the continuing war and a mishmash of economic issues.

We discuss the team sport of politics, the misconceptions people have about others and how no one understands libertarians, mostly in the context of the war in the Middle East.

We discuss media misdirection, the Anthropic vs. DoD spat and the long-term consequences of resource constraint.

In a slow news week, we decided to talk about the Middle East.

In our all-English podcast, we start with some entertainment news, threats to the Hollywood system and how that system seems to be sabotaging itself. We provide a little bit of diplomatic insight and close with some economics and personal finance.

We talk about the abandonment of the last nuclear arms reduction treaty, the possibility of a new nuclear treaty with Iran and those recently released files that everyone seems to be talking about.

We discuss the second protester death in Minnesota.

Trump's quick strikes and where does he go next? When will Greenland be US territory? Will we attack Iran again? How long can we control Venezuela?

We go back to the ICE shooting and the fraud. We, also, talk about Trump's threats to Iran.

Venezuela and Minneapolis. Need ICE say more?

We discuss eighties culture, who (if anyone) should pay taxes, Russian disinformation and discrimination.

Bastiat described government revenue as "plunder." We show why.

We talk about the double-tap strike and spend the balance of time on Michael's jury duty experience. You can call it the libertarian's guide to jury duty.

We speak off the cuff about AI, before getting into the MAGA vs. America First rift. We close with a discussion of jury nullification.

MTG takes her ball back home, Trump threatens ex-military Democrats with execution and Rubio undermines the Ukraine peace plan.

We talk about market incentives and how government is always getting if the way.

We discuss how government justifies murder, how your holiday travel plans could never be impacted by government shutdowns and there are worse things to swap than currency.

Tucker and Cheney, Trump and the left's misdirected ire, and the consequences of government subsidies on markets are all discussed tonight.

Law has become theater. We provide an explanation for the intransigence of Europe with regard to Ukraine. We express surprise at the percentage of the US population dependent on the government for food, and we both light and defuse concerns about nuclear brinksmanship.

We have finally declared ourselves, as a nation, to be opposed to monarchy. Crime is tolerated, and we hope for accountability.

War and peace and literature; Gaza and Venezuela and Ukraine.

A new poll shows a rise in Americans' willingness to engage in political violence. We weigh in on some possible explanations beyond the obvious. We also discuss authoritarianism and its potential political consequences.

The Constitution, the UN, strange elections and war-making.

After a week off, there was much to cover: Tylenol, the new war on narco-terror, and France's economic troubles being just a few.

We have more threats to free speech, to bodily autonomy, to dollar dominance and resistance to peace to discuss with you tonight.

We talk about "the science," the problems of government-funded science and where that can lead. We, also, discuss the Labor Day cinema box office returns.

Government overreach, the quest for peace and the search for more money are all covered in this episode.

Russia, China, India, Brazil and Israel-Palestine.

Colbert and "The View" are leaving. Will there be any further prosecutions from the Epstein or Obama scandals? Do younger people vote liberally? We close with a discussion of the egg market.

We weigh in on the Epstein controversy and talk about Ukraine and special interest economics.

A little domestic news, a little international news and a lot of economics.

The 12-Day War.

Iran, Israel, regime change, nuclear war and everyone is a liar!

Immigration, Iran and accreditation.

Elon, Karine Jean-Pierre, Netanyahu and Putin all go scorched earth.

We start with a recap of the Libertarian Party of Alabama convention. Then we talk about healthcare, various aspects of healthcare.

Can you trust academics? Can you trust your Representative? Does the government have a responsibility to protect its citizens anywhere? What the hell is going on in Kashmir?

We return to the discussion from last week about the problems of the deportation regime and group labeling. Then we discuss the commencement of the Real ID laws, and we close on the creation of money and the coming economic crash.

We talk about expertise, media standards, freedom of association, the developed world's demographic implosion and (of course) why government is responsible for all of their problems.

This episode is really just an extended rant about the current administration, politics, the hypocrisy of politicians and general idiocy.

We discuss banking, tariffs and trade.

We recall the most important aspect of the Yemen bombing, which we somehow forgot. Then, we move to tariffs, a quick update on South Korea and finally deportations and research funding.

We discuss the Signal controversy, the Yemen strikes, Israeli censorship, the proper response to unjust laws and taxes.

We talk about the absurdity of the continued resolution, the US active involvement in the war in Ukraine, the new war in Yemen, canceling free speech for foreigners and Tesla attacks.
