Enjoy my 2025 closeout episode. I had a great conversation with subscriber James.
(Apologies on the quality...I had both video and sound glitches).
We discuss White Pillbox guests like Larken Rose, James Corbett and Carey Wedler.
James was especially curious about how the insights of the transition to a free society have been received by guests. We also covered libertarian messaging, the masses, and a whole lot more.
