For years on this program, we've said that the best way to make change in our area is through something other than government action or even through starting a business... It is through a voluntary organization like a nonprofit. After a friend was killed in his neighborhood, Joe Garrison and a few other neighbors formed the North Shadeland Alliance to find ways to quell crime. In the process, they also built community, aided hungry neighbors, and built political power to get the attention of once-inattentive city officials. It was far easier than expected, and this story will greatly inspire listeners.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently heard arguments on the controversial issue of whether or not social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter can discriminate based on political affiliation. Abdul-Hakim Shabazz invited me on his program to give the libertarian perspective on property rights versus the common good when it comes to free speech, and the potential consequences of regulating social media like a utility or common carrier, the importance of physical, interpersonal connection in the age of AI, and the future of legal challenges on this issue.

Currently, 42 U.S. attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to protect kids. Will it work? Are these platforms even addictive? James Czerniawski, a Senior Policy Analyst at Americans for Prosperity and Young Voices contributor, and I discuss it.

Over a quarter of a billion humans live in the United States, and we really only have Trump and Biden as a choice? And does this choice represent something fundamentally new in American politics? Then we explain and debate Colorado's move to take Trump off of the ballot in the 2024 election.

Enjoy the WAL Christmas Party. Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts, Zach Burcham produces the show. We pull together the network hosts for an unprogrammed night of fun. BET’s Chris Spangle, Harry Price of Low Key, and Brian Nichols of the Brian Nichols Show join us. We talk NFL, how pop culture between ages 8 and 16 forms us, and why does Harry call soda “tonic”? Five podcast hosts competing to get heard…What could go wrong? Prepare to be entertained.

Austin Peterson invited me on his show "Wake Up America" to comment on the discussions between Robert Kennedy Jr. and the Libertarian Party as its nominee in 2024, and why this would violate the promises made by the Mises Caucus in their takeover.

Many members of the right have signed a new statement outlining the values of "freedom conservatism." Where can libertarians find agreement? Parker McCumber and I discuss where we agree and (mildly) disagree with their ten points.

John England, an Education Policy Analyst from the Libertas Institute, joins me again to discuss A.I. in education. While there are concerns about students' reliance on A.I. like ChatGPT for homework, we discuss how A.I. does not necessarily degrade education and can be used effectively for idea generation and refining writing projects. John also mentions useful A.I. tools like Khan Academy's Conmigo, an A.I. chatbot for teaching math. They further highlight the need for critical thinking in using A.I., especially with A.I. possibly providing information that may be 80% correct. Furthermore, they discuss how A.I. could potentially alleviate issues with overcrowded classrooms by serving as a personalized tutor.

Jon England is a former public school teacher turned school choice advocate. He realized that education entrepreneurship was exploding across the country, and he now helps accelerate ideas like microschools and educational savings accounts. He outlines for us, and any teachers listening, many opportunities for students in a new world of education.

I recently hosted Joe Gulesserian, author of 'The Practical MBA on Economics', to discuss the evolving topic of artificial intelligence. We discussed both positive and negative impacts of AI on various industries and professions, from manufacturing and programming to white-collar work and even espionage. Joe also expressed concerns about the potential for extensive job loss and universal basic income in a society dominated by AI. However, he wonders if we could possibly see a more efficient world with a shorter work week. The conversation raises intriguing questions about the future of work, the economy, and society in the age of A.I.

My guest Connor Boyack once said, "Until I graduated college, I never had the time, the mental energy to focus on what I was passionate about." This led him to ask , "How do I help my kids avoid the same fate I had?" The author of the popular Tuttle Twins series and President of the Libertas Institute walks us through how he teaches his kids using their own passions, and explains how you can do it as well.

Does the notion that the world isn’t as bad off as perceived and that free markets are beneficial sound absurd? Maybe to some. Yet economist and author Art Carden and I contend that we’re experiencing an unparalleled era in history, poised to improve further if driven by voluntary exchange. Join in the conversation to learn from Art, the author of the new book Strangers with Candy.

Andrew Wilson, author of 'Remaking the World', a book that offers a fresh perspective on the year 1776, outlines how this pivotal moment in history shaped the modern post-Christian West. While this year is chiefly remembered for the creation of America, Wilson speaks about the various critical moments and cultural shifts that occurred that year, ultimately shaping our present world. We discuss various topics, such as the impact of industrialization, romanticism, and enlightenment ideals, the evolving role of the church in society, and the importance of understanding history in the contemporary societal context.

Brad Lips is the Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Network, and he joins me to discuss how free markets lift people out of poverty in a more effective way than many forms of foreign aid.

The hosts of the Reformed Libertarians Podcast, Kerry Baldwin and Gregory Baus, join my to explain why the Reformed stream of Christianity is compatible with libertarianism, and why it offers a peaceful alternative to Christian Nationalism.

Joe Biden is using a new tool from the Inflation Reduction Act to lower the cost of ten prescription drugs. Will it work? David B. McGarry is a policy analyst at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and Young Voices Contributor, and he joins me to explain why it is likely to make things more expensive and less innovative in the prescription drug space.

Javier Milei is the new President-Elect of Argentina. Milei is known for his brash style of politics, but undergirding that is a solid belief in anarch-capitalist, libertarian, and Austrian economic philosophies. Austin Petersen of the Wake Up America Show on Rumble invited me on to discuss the highest elected libertarian in history.

I've just discovered that I am fat again... I invite on my personal trainer Sean Murphy of Blockhouse Fitness to have a frank conversation about what I need to do to get back on track, and he explains what you need to do to get started if you're stuck too.

In March, a shooter walked into a church school and killed six people. In the months leading up to it, they left behind writings, and they were leaked to talk show host Steven Crowder. What do these writings reveal? Why did the police not want them released? Is Crowder the right person to release the information? Chris and Harry discuss.

I speak with Neetu Arnold, Research Fellow at the National Association of Scholars and a Young Voices contributor, about the recent responses of U.S. colleges to the attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7th. We discuss the hesitancy of these universities to condemn the attacks, which has led to backlash from many major donors. We also delve into the issue of student loan reform under Joe Biden's administration and explore the trade-offs involved in these reforms.

Rhinehold joins me as we recap the process that led up to Mike Johnson being voted in as the newest Speaker Of the House. Who is that? We share some details and look for points where he might agree or disagree with libertarian positions.

Did you know that if you're pulled over, the cops can take your car and cash and never return it, even if you're never convicted? It is called civil asset forfeiture, and some reset court cases affect its use. Jill Jacobson joins me to explain what it means for anyone with red and blue lights in the rearview mirror.
