Ep. 357 - Scofield, Darby, Dispensationalism, and Bad Theology, with Father John Whiteford
Father John Whiteford is back with us this week to discuss C.I. Scofield, J.N. Darby, and their incorrect theology. The Scofield Reference Bible is a very common Bible found in homes and churches all across America. It is where the very modern ideas of dispensationalism, the pre-tribulation rapture, and a few other incorrect theological issues come from. We discuss who invented these ideas, how Zionists have used them to further dangerous policies, and why no Christian ever believed these ideas before the 19th century. Fr. John Whiteford is the pastor of St. Jonah Orthodox Church (ROCOR) in Spring, Texas. He is the author of Sola Scriptura: An Orthodox Analysis of the Cornerstone of Reformation Theology, published by Conciliar Press, and the general editor of the St. Innocent Liturgical Calendar.

Ep. 356 - Hermeticism, TikTok Spirituality, and the Truth, with Mano Elia
My guest this week is Mano Elia from the Study of Stuff Podcast and the Bored No More Network. Mano was born into an Orthodox Christian family and strayed from the faith as he ventured into Hermeticism and the Dark Arts. He has now returned to the Orthodox faith, is well versed in the occult, and is here to warn folks against it. Hermeticism is the inverse of Christianity and in this chat, he explains that step by step. We get into the dangers of TikTok spirituality, witchcraft, astrology, and so on. We also get into the new Zine they're putting out over at which YOU should check out now!

Ep. 355 - A Sinner in the Hands of a Loving God, with Joseph Beard
This week, my guest is Joseph Beard. Joseph is a catechumen and soon-to-be baptized Orthodox Christian. He grew up the son of a Baptist preacher, and his family moved from town to town as various controversies followed his father. Along the way, he got into various subculture scenes and was able to maintain his faith as God sprinkled breadcrumbs along the way that would ultimately lead him to the Orthodox church. Joseph discusses the push out of Protestantism and the pull into Christ's True Church in this episode, and it is a journey that I think you will find quite beautiful.

Charlie Robinson is back with us this week. Charlie runs the MacroAggressions podcast, is an author, and owns the Activist Post and Natural Blaze. Today we are covering a very happy and beautiful topic: the death of the legacy media. This is a very well deserved and self-inflicted death. Charlie goes over stats and ratings with us as well, and it is truly fascinating just how poorly these multi-million-dollar media companies are doing. We also discuss what to look for in alternative media that may be red flags showing that some of the legacy liars are infiltrating our spaces.

Ep. 353 - The Growth of Orthodoxy and Truth, with Fr Joshua Genig
Fr. Joshua Genig is the rector of St. Innocent of Irkutsk Russian Orthodox Church & Chapel of St. John the Wonderworker in Redford, MI. They have seen a massive growth in the number of parishioners in the last five years. With this can come many important challenges, including proper catechesis, baptism, teaching, and more. There has been an age of revelation in recent years where many people are waking up from their collective slumber and seeing certain truths like never before. This is one of many reasons the Orthodox Church has seen such a rise in attendance. What are the dangers of this new period of grace it feels like we've been given?

Ep. 350 - Should Christians Resist Evil? with Father Zechariah Lynch
My guest this week writes at and is a priest in the Orthodox Church. He is Father Zechariah Lynch. Fr. Zechariah and I get into the issue of Christians resisting evil... or not. If we call out something as wrong, evil, or dangerous, some are quick to tell us that we are being judgmental and not very Christian. Are we to be pacifists and let people do as they will? What about during the pandemic? Are we wrong to call out those who wanted experimental medicine forced on us? What about those who wished us to be locked in our homes? We also get into the recent discussion online as to whether or not it's "priestly" to work out and post about it. Does becoming fit and strong make one subject to the sin of vanity?

Chase Davis, and others in a podcast from Right Response Ministries called "Why Young Men Are Flocking To Eastern Orthodoxy" ().

Ep. 346 - We Confess One Baptism, with Father Peter Heers
Father Peter Heers is back on the show, and we are discussing the themes in the book, "On the Reception of the Heterodox Into the Orthodox Church", published by Uncut Mountain Press. There are some converts to Orthodoxy who want to be baptized into the Church, yet they are told their previous baptism was just fine, so they only need Chrismation. Is this the view of the Church Fathers? What is the exception? Is this done in a manner that is consistent with the Saints and the Patrisitc writings? Is baptism necessary for our salvation? We get into all of these questions and more. Fr. Peter is the founder and current head of Uncut Mountain Press (founded in 2000), the founder and head of The Orthodox Ethos, and the founder and first editor of "Divine Ascent, A Journal of Orthodox Faith" (begun in 1995).

Ep. 345 - The Myth of Judeo-Christianity, with Bailey Mullins from Unto Ages
My guest this week runs the fantastic YouTube channel, Unto Ages. We are discussing a much used term that is based in an obvious contradiction: Judeo-Christianity. Why are these two words combined to mean something coherent when they aren't at all the same? It may seem trivial to some, but it's having very negative effects on geopolitics. It's also incorrect theology, so we feel it helpful to explain that as well. We get into this, Zionism, Israel, the antichrist, and more.

We are discussing a theme that runs through a few of his pieces there ( and ), and that is the culture of narcissism that is rampant in our modern society. Because of social media, we see it much more often than we should. Two ways it manifests are with something called "main character syndrome" and the "spiritual, not religious" folks.

Ep. 340 - The Sovereign Debt Crisis is Coming, with Stormy Waters
My guest this week is a venture capitalist who goes by the pseudonym Stormy Waters. Stormy, along with many successful VCs, is predicting a sovereign debt crisis coming before summer of 2025. They are hedging their bets and funds on this prediction. In this episode, we discuss why this will happen, what has led to it, and what it may look like. Stormy says that a silver lining of this is that the Trump administration seems to at least care and seems to be equipped to handle such a crisis better than the "leadership" that the US has had in previous decades. Why is it going to be much worse for Europe than it will be for the US? We discuss it in this episode.

He also penned his classic book, Youth of the Apocalypse then, and many years later now, it is VERY hard to find. That was until this new updated version that is now available.

This is a very special episode. My producer, Chris Williams, is a very humble and knowledgeable Protestant Christian. He's obviously been listening to every one of my episodes since he's producing them, and he is very interested in the Orthodox view of the world and also the differences between Orthodoxy and all the other Christianities.

From Facedown Records: "A season of death and profound brokenness caused Tommy Green to dive deeply into the very beginnings of the church, seeking for the connection between holy orthodoxy and liturgical practices, and today’s modern Pentecostal charismatic church. He found beauty in a hidden treasure that he didn’t fully understand, his pain driving him to a place he never intended to go. Orthodox imagery is extremely influential to the graphics and lyrics of Holy Name's work. The holy orthodox church and the historical origin of Christianity became very important to Tommy personally and that’s why the imagery seems so saturated with traditional ancient orthodox Christianity."

My guest this week is Dr. Jeannie Constantinou, back with us once again to discuss her works on Andrew of Caesarea's commentary on the Book of Revelation. Andrew is a Church Father, and his commentary on Revelation is the go-to work on the Apocalypse for the Orthodox Church. Since the late 1800's, there have been a lot of misconceptions and misrepresentations regarding the Book of Revelation. There have been movies and books like "The Late Great Planet Earth" and the "Left Behind" series that falsely tell of a pre-tribulation rapture. And now in pop culture, many use out-of-context quotes from the book and fit their own predictions and ideas into them. Jeannie explains how Andrew of Caesarea studied the Book of Revelation, his interpretations of it, how he arrived at various explanations, and more. Why isn't the Book of Revelation read liturgically in our Church? We get into that and a lot more.

My guest this week is the man behind the Study of Stuff Podcast and SOS Radio: Mano Elia. Mano was born into Orthodox Christianity and as a teen, drifted into occult, New Age, and Hermeticism. We discuss what he learned throughout that journey and what pulled him back towards Christ and the Orthodox Church. It's a sort of Prodigal Son story with some interesting twists and turns.

My guests this week are both friends of the show and wonderful podcasters in their own right. They are Jason Mironchuk from the 2Bit podcast and Matthew Erickson from the Kingpilled podcast. They are here to dive into the current spiritual shift we are living through and the emerging counter-elite that is about to take over once this current regime crumbles. Jason breaks down the transition from the devouring mother into the age of the vengeful son and how to fight the appealing revenge feeling many of us will have. Matt breaks down the PayPal mafia, who's behind the emerging counter-elite, and what this all means as the current regime crumbles under its own incompetence.

Ep. 318 - Bad Theology Leads to Bad Actions, with Father John Whiteford
My guest this week is one of my favorite men to have on the show: Father John Whiteford. Fr. John is Archpriest and pastor at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas. Fr. John was a representative of the ROCOR Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America at the signing of the Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, in Moscow, on May 17, 2007. He is currently the general editor of the St. Innocent Liturgical Calendar. He is also the dean of the southern deanery (Texas and Louisiana) of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America ROCOR. He is here to discuss the bad theology being preached by many American Protestant preachers that is leading to horrible death and destruction in the Middle East. There is a trend amongst many American Christians that the State of Israel must be supported and defended no matter what. Because of a very modern take on certain scriptures, many believe the Jews are God's "chosen people", the State of Israel is the same thing as the Biblical Israel, dispensationalism is a legitimate Biblical teaching, and that modern day Judaism is the same thing as the Judaism of the Old Testament. Fr. John explains where these misconceptions arose from and why and how they're not only against true Church teachings but also lead to horriific consequences. As St. Matthew said, "Ye shall know them by their fruits."

Ep. 317 - What Libertarianism Gets Wrong, with Jon Gabriel
Today, Orthodox Christian and journalist Jon Gabriel is with us. With the recent disaster of the new Libertarian Party presidential candidate causing many to leave the party, Jon and I discuss the philosophy of libertarianism and relate it to not only societal reality but the Orthodox Christian worldview. What good does it offer? Are parts of it irreconcilable with Christianity? Jon and I are both ex-libertarians and now Orthodox Christians. We discuss our journeys and where we see libertarianism and politics broadly now as Orthodox Christians.

Ep. 316 - The Great Divorce From History, with The Prudentialist
This week, we are once again joined by The Prudentialist here on Counterflow. He is an Orthodox Christian, writer, YouTuber, and fisherman. We are talking about something that he has coined, "the great divorce from history". From our guest: A divorce from history, a consequence of the orgiastic high that has come from Liberalism's alleged victories from the Cold War and the Second World War has left many smugly championing the cultural and economic victories while quietly ignoring the visceral transformations of their homes. To say that the past was evil, or that each step leftward was a step towards some concept of fully automated luxury gay space communism, then we are witnessing the continued suicide of the West in real time, just as Burnham remarked sixty years ago. We get into how this has happened and where we might be headed.

Ep. 313 - Conservatives Should Reject Ideology, with Auron Macintyre
Auron MacIntyre is back with us this week to discuss the beautiful losers we call conservatives. The left cares about power and control, but the right has tried to put principle and ideology ahead of actually gaining and using power. This has put conservatives on the losing side of politics for more than a century. Now, leftism is the default setting for society, all of the country's institutions, corporations, and power structures. It's time for conservatives to stop letting their ideology get in the way of gaining power and defeating the left. Auron lays it all out in this excellent discussion.

Ep. 311 - Red States Are Lurching Toward Antichrist, with Nichols from Orthodox Reflections
Nicholas from Orthodox Reflections returns to the show this week. We are discussing bad theology that is infecting many "red" states in the US. Several of these states are pushing laws that outlaw any speech deemed to be antisemitic. There's a rancher in Texas sending red heifers to Israel, which is a step to engineer the apocalypse, in his mind. Why is this happening? Are Jews the "chosen people"? Why is this a thing people say? There is a lot of bad theology involved with these things, and bad theology can lead to very bad actions. We get into all of this and more.

My guest this week is Ben Dixon, author of the "Where the Wasteland Ends" Substack (). We are breaking down the rise of larger world superpowers as the US and the West are having to respect these powers. The West was able to run roughshod through much of the last 50 years. With the rise of Russia, China, India, and Brazil, this is no longer the case. What will the ramifications of this be? What happens with the dollar on the world stage?

Ep. 309: Atheism and the Problem of Knowledge, Part 1, with Adam Patrick
My guest this week is host of the Age of Information podcast and friend of the show, Adam Patrick. Adam and I discuss the circular faith that is atheism. Many vocal atheists choose to dunk on low-hanging fruit, and when challenged to present why and how they arrived at their worldview, can't articulate it. Atheism, as well as any worldview, has to rely on faith at some level. Adam breaks down the epistemology of atheism, Orthodox Christianity, and various other worldviews.

Ep. 308: Diary of a Psychosis, with Tom Woods
My guest this week is one of the best authors and podcasters in our circles. He is the great Tom Woods. Tom is the author of thirteen books, and his latest one is a devastating death blow to the COVID cultists that have plagued our entire existence since 2020. From the "experts" that we were told to trust, to the media, to even our own friends and family members, at times, SO many people were just plain evil and wrong. What Tom did was keep a daily newsletter that documented many of the lies and inconsistent so-called "science" that we were yelled at to trust. From Tom's famous charts where you couldn't possibly tell which county did what regarding lockdowns and masks, to the many testimonies from those whose lives were destroyed because of the tyranny, Tom has a book full of receipts, and we are pulling them in this episode. What the evil people perpetuated during these years must never go unpunished nor unforgotten. In this episode, Tom and I discuss much of it.

Ep. 307: The New Puritans, the New Witches, with Father Zechariah Lynch
Today, Fr. Zechariah Lynch returns to the show to discuss some themes in one of his recent blog posts entitled, "We Found Witches! The Inquisition of Control over Human Freedom" over at his . America was founded by Puritans. That Puritan spirit has remained a guiding spirit of American culture and society even today. In the early years, many Christian Puritans were looking for witches to burn at the stake. This is still happening today. What is different in modern times is, while we have lost the spirit of Christianity, broadly speaking, Puritanism is still there, only now fueled by a secular religion. If you don't offer up the pinch of incense to many of these types, YOU will become the witch that they want to burn at the stake.

Ep. 306: The Controlled Demolition of Civilization, with Jeff Deist
Many of you know Jeff Deist as the former president of the Mises Institute. Jeff and I discuss the things that have led to the destruction of our culture and civilization. Jeff brings an economic perspective to this discussion. The Federal Reserve has incentivized a high time preference society. A society with a high time preference is a tribal society rather than a civil society. Why did the boomer generation allow this? What effects has this had on millennials and home ownership? Has it allowed the spirit of nihilism to flourish? Can it be fixed through political means? We discuss all of this and more.

My guest this week has been in and around conservative and libertarian circles for many years. C.Jay Engel used to identify as a libertarian, and in this episode, he discusses his political journey and transformation. Why would this matter? Well, because it's a similar transformation to not only my own but also many of my listeners. This show is absolutely not an excuse to feel pride about ourselves nor malice toward any folks who still consider themselves libertarian.

He is here to field all of my questions regarding Great Lent and provide thorough and accurate answers. Why do we fast? What do we "give up" during Lent?

He has been discussing some very intriguing theories on his show recently, and I wanted him to come here and discuss them with me. He postulates that we are no longer living in a civilization. We have returned to the tribal mode that many of us pretend we don't even understand. The spirit of the devouring mother is, in part, what lead us here. This was a function of liberalism, and now we are facing the consequence: the spirit of the vengeful son. What in the heck does all of this mean? What does this look like? What is to come?

This week, a bright young Gen Z man on the political right joins me. He goes by the name J Burden, and his Substack and YouTube channel are both superb. There's a lot of complaining about younger people by Gen X-ers like myself. This will give you some optimism. Whereas quality seems to have eluded much of the millennial generation, there may be hope for Gen Z. In this discussion, we get into the change in the social and political tide we are witnessing. The regime is starting to crumble beneath the weight of its propaganda, bloat, and very real capability crisis. There's a counter-elite rising up, and we discuss what that looks like. We also get into the parallels with boomers and millennials and contrast those with the Gen X and Gen Z parallels.

I don't fully subscribe to any conspiracy theories, but I do find some intriguing if they resonate with any logic (also if they don't; who am I kidding, some of them are just clever).

Today, Father John Peck returns to the show. Fr. John contributed a number of articles for the Orthodox Study Bible and commentary on the Old Testament books of Hosea, Song of Songs, and III Maccabees (perhaps the first Orthodox commentary for this book in existence). He founded Journey To Orthodoxy for helping those inquiring into and seeking contacts within the Orthodox Church and assisting heterodox pastors in their transition to Orthodoxy. He also launched Good Guys Wear Black, a website designed to help men who are discerning a vocation in the Orthodox Church. Fr. John teaches a class on the myths and truths around Christmas. Today, we dive into many of these. With the rise of social media, there's been a ton of bad theology, inaccurate history, pop culture Pagan takes, and just way too much misinformation about Christmas. Was it Pagan? Why December 25th? Can we know when Christ was born? We get into all of this and more. Plus: What might 2024 bring us? More insanity and lies from the regime. We get into that as well! Fr.

This week, a man with a true eye for beauty in art and architecture joins me. Andrew Gould is an artisan and designer specializing in traditional buildings and liturgical art. Andrew has designed dozens of new buildings, renovations, and custom liturgical furnishings. His practice is based in Charleston, South Carolina, and his residential and commercial work is focused within the Charleston Historic District. When designing churches and liturgical art, Andrew works in the Eastern Orthodox traditions (Byzantine and Russian), and his work can be found throughout North America and beyond. We discuss the awful state of ugly modern architecture and how it relates to our souls. When did we lose beauty and love in regards to art and architecture? Do some architects purposely make things evil and ugly? Are beautiful old style buildings too expensive to build these days? Andrew also discusses the importance of making American Orthodox Churches not only beautiful but respectful to and of the local culture. Should we put a strictly Russian-looking Church in the heart of a southern state like South Carolina? We get into all of this and more.

Ep. 290: Old World Thinking in a New World Culture, with John Heers
My guest this week is John Heers. John is head of the First Things Foundation. First Things Foundation was conceived as a way to remind wealthy westerners of what gives meaning to life and as a mechanism for serving the poorest among us. As a couple of men working in the aid field, we saw how do-gooders sometimes do profound damage to struggling communities. That damage isn't always physical; things get built when the cash shows up. The damage is spiritual, resulting in local people and local economies becoming dependent on outsiders. Or worse, these communities are violently transformed into what outsiders deem to be "good". We get into the spirit of what John calls "old world thinking" and the Orthodox way to offer philanthropy and aid. At the end, join me in the quiz that I take! Am I more of a new world enlightenment thinker, or do I trend towards the OLD WORLD?

Ep. 286: Not Avoiding Pain and Discomfort, with Father Moses McPherson
This week, my guest is Father Moses McPherson, rector of Holy Mother of God Orthodox Church in Georgetown, TX. He is also the newest contributor over at Patristic Faith. Fr. Moses grew up in a rough area outside of Los Angeles, CA, with a Protestant Pastor as a father. He didn't have a lot of parental oversight and thus got into crime, drugs, and running adjacent with LA gangs. His journey into psychedelics took him down some seriously dark paths. He landed himself in an abusive military boys home where he soon found Christ. He details this wild journey that eventually led him to Orthodoxy. This is one of my deepest, most emotional interviews to date. I know you will be touched by this story. To check out Fr.

Ep. 285: The Orthodox View of Israel, with Jim Jatras
My guest this week is my friend Jim Jatras. Jim and I discuss what's going on with Israel, Hamas, and the USA. Many people see this as a "choose one side or the other" ordeal, and it's not that simple. Zionist politicians and pastors have a misunderstanding of what the Christian view of Israel is, and Jim is here to explain the truth about it all.

Ep. 284: Preparing For What May Be Coming, with Alex Braszko and Jonah Martin
Today our friends Jonah Martin and Alex Braszko are back on the show to discuss "prepping" from an Orthodox standpoint. Often, the term "prepping" can have a negative connotation to people. This may be because it very often focuses on what one can do to prep for themselves and their immediate household only. It often has to do with material goods and food alone. In this episode, my guests breakdown how and why we should prepare for a dim future as well as how we got here and why we even exist in the first place!

Ep. 283: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity, with Joe Allen
This week, I welcome back Joe Allen to the show. Joe has a new book out called "Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity". This discussion dives into the dystopian future that we are facing with the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism. We get into the religious and spiritual lens that many AI proponents see AI through, their end goals, possible dangers we face, and then how to deal with it all.

Ep. 282: Foreign Policy, Agrarianism, and Sola Scriptura, with Father John Whiteford
My guest this week is Father John Whiteford. Fr. John is Archpriest and pastor at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas. He is also the dean of the southern deanery (Texas and Louisiana) of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America ROCOR. Today, we are discussing some themes from a talk he gave at the Ludwig Orthodox Fellowship Inaugural Conference recently. It deals with his realization that once he became an Orthodox Christian, he could no longer support the neoconservative pro-war foreign policy philosophy. We get into the multiple wars that the US has participated in and the eradication of Christians in various parts of the world due to the actions of the US military. This leads us into a discussion on the Yankee mentality and the Southern mentality. The Puritanism of the Yankees has unfortunately won out when it comes to wars and democracy, and that has led to some very bad results. Fr. John feels as though Orthodox Christianity is suited for the agrarian southern heart and mind. We also get into a subject that Fr. John has written and spoken on many times over the decades, and that is Sola Scriptura. This is a wonderful discussion, and I think you'll learn a lot. For Fr. John's speech at the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, click here: Here is Fr.

Ep. 281: The 1960's Counterculture Was Controlled from the Top, with Jay Dyer
My guest this week is Jay Dyer. Jay runs one of the largest podcasts in our space as well as being the author of "Esoteric Hollywood" volumes one and two. He is known for his deep analysis of Hollywood, geopolitics, and culture. His graduate work focused on psychological warfare and film. In this episode, Jay and I get into the non-organic, controlled-from-the-top nature of the 1960's "counterculture" that so many people still think was a grassroots freedom expression. Jay discusses the multiple figures that had CIA ties, military intelligence ties, elite global ties, and so on. From Hollywood to LSD to the music business and from Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to the Haight Ashbury scene in San Francisco, much of the movement was steered from the top.

Ep. 280: Spiritual Sickness Leads to Physical Sickness, with Amy Mastrine
My guest this week is one half of the Mystic Sisters Podcast and Substack: she is Amy Mastrine. Amy is an Orthodox Christian and an artist and iconographer. Amy's journey through far-left politics and feminism left her not only spiritually sick, but she became physically and mentally ill as well from her empty political ideology. At times, she couldn't even speak because, instinctually, she knew her ideas were wrong. She went through multiple secular therapists, all of whom weren't prepared to give her the help she really needed. After a journey through atheism, Catholicism, and multiple other churches, Amy found Christ through the Orthodox Church, and her healing began. Her art showed in this transformation as she began to work on icons of Christ, Mary, and the Saints. Amy's story is gripping, and she's open and honest about her pain.

Ep. 279: Artificial Intelligence, Symbolism, Beauty, and Truth, with Jonathan Pageau
My guest this week is someone I've wanted to interview for quite a while. He is the proprietor over at The Symbolic World, none other than Jonathan Pageau himself. Jonathan is a French-Canadian icon carver, public speaker, and YouTuber exploring the symbolic patterns that underlie our experience of the world, how these patterns emerge and come together, manifesting in religion, art, and popular culture. He's also the editor of the Orthodox Arts Journal and host of the Symbolic World blog and podcast. In this episode, we discuss the dark issues with AI and where the world is headed in that regard. We discuss how it works as far as "agency" goes, the demonic aspects of it, as well as what not to necessarily worry about. I get into art, beauty, Jordan Peterson, symbolism, and more.

Ep. 278: America is Owned by Oligarchs, with Nicholas from Orthodox Reflections
My guest this week is back for his second appearance. He is "Nicholas", a writer over at Orthodox Reflections. Nicholas wrote a very good piece titled, "There is No Free Market or Democracy in America", and he's here to dive into the points he makes in it. Largely, we discuss the three mega-companies that own much of what we know as corporate and governmental America. They are State Street, BlackRock, and Vanguard. The 401(k)s and pensions of millions and millions of ordinary Americans are the key to untold power and influence. The big three asset management firms own almost the entire corporate sector and an increasingly large chunk of the residential real estate market as well. How does it change things when the same management firms own everyone and their competitors? We discuss all this and more.

Ep. 277: Buck Talks About His Journey with Elissa Bjeletich Davis
This week, we do some things a bit differently! I was a guest on a show published by Ancient Faith Radio called "Everyday Orthodox" hosted by Elissa Bjeletich Davis. I explained my life, almost from the very beginning! We go through my family life, childhood, teenage years, and, of course, my political and spiritual journey. I rarely publish my own story on this show because I like to feature other people, much smarter than me. But I wanted to do some cross-promotion with Everyday Orthodox, and I thought this interview was a very enjoyable one. Let me know what you think!

Ep. 276: The Left Creates the Popular Narrative, with Auron MacIntyre
Auron MacIntyre is back on the show this week, and we are discussing the brilliant ability of the progressive left to set the narrative in the way that makes them appear to be virtuous and good. We get into some of these narratives like, "climate change" and "being against book-banning". The right constantly is put in a mode to simply react to these and try to catch up to the left while not being in the driver's seat. Now, they can simply say that being against their draconian false ways to help the environment, you are simply against conserving the planet. How do we get in front of this phenomenon without just being reactionary and falling into the back-and-forth pendulum swing within the left v. right paradigm? We get into all of this and more in the episode of the Counterflow podcast.

Ep. 275: The Manosphere's Lust for Artificial Intelligence, with Vin Armani
This week, our friend Cyprian, a.k.a. Vin Armani, is back on the show. We get into a very sensitive topic, and it's something that has been popping up a lot lately. In what is broadly called the "manosphere", there are a lot of men that pretend to be all for "traditional values" for men and women. The problem is that when they veil their hatred of women with a sort of fake "tradition" narrative, things easily start to become obvious when wealthy AI creators start to push AI sexbots into the market. Many of these men (often single, bitter, and lonely) have openly admitted to preferring an AI Onlyfans bot over a real female in real life. Many of them have a cartoonish version of dating and marriage in their head, and when real humans don't meet that narrative, these men become lonely and angry. This is ripe for AI creators to take advantage of, and it appears to be working. This is a very good discussion, and I think, while it will ruffle some feathers, many will get a lot out of it.

Julie Mastrine is back on the show today for her 5th appearance. Julie is one half of the Mystic Sisters podcast, and she is the director of media bias at Allsides.com. Today we are breaking down several examples of media bias and propaganda and the code words and methods that media outlets use to propagandize their readers and viewers. I thought I was good at doing this, but Julie is like a Jedi Master at this. This was really fun and very enlightening, and I think you'll find it to be just that and more.

Ep. 272: The Myths Around Judaism, with Nicholas from Orthodox Reflections
My guest this week is Nicholas from the Orthodox Reflections site. Orthodox Reflections is a collaborative effort by committed Orthodox Christians to provide thoughtful analysis of the Orthodox Christian faith's interaction with American culture. They featured an article entitled, "3 Harmful Myths Most Christians Believe About Judaism" which I found to be enlightening and very well done, and this is the topic Nicholas is here to chat about. As someone who spent my teenage years attending a Christian, nondenominational, Zionist church, I was not only familiar with these myths that we discuss, but for many years, I took them to be factual. Nicholas is humble, well spoken, and very well informed on this topic, and I think you'll get a lot out of this episode.

Ep. 271: Fascism Viewed From The Cross, with Michael Witcoff
This week, Michael Witcoff, a.k.a. Brother Augustine, is back with us on the show. Michael has written a new book called, "Fascism Viewed from the Cross". In this book and this discussion, Michael gets into how the Jewish people were viewed by the early Saints, Church Fathers, and Orthodox Monarchs. He also then walks us through how various fascist leaders viewed the Church and religion in general. We get into the way the Orthodox Church views not only the State in general but also which government is the best government. This discussion shows that it can be very tempting to fall off of the Royal Path in either direction, and what the Church calls for is for us to repent and get back onto the Royal Path.

Ep. 270: From Utopia to the Age of Nihilism, with Father John Strickland
This week, I have Father John Strickland on the show. Fr. John serves as priest at St. Elizabeth Orthodox Church in Poulsbo, Washington. He is the author of "The Making of Holy Russia" and the four-part book series called "Paradise and Utopia: The Rise and Fall of What the West Once Was". We are discussing the broad themes of his book series as well as focusing on the fourth book, "The Age of Nihilism: Christendom from the Great War to the Culture Wars". Much like St. Seraphim Rose before him, Fr. John links many of the issues that the West has experienced and continues to experience to the Great Schism of 1054, or as he calls it, the Great Division. He takes us back to Christendom and up through the culture wars of modern-day America, as viewed through the Orthodox lens. This is a wonderful book series, and I think you'll enjoy this interview thoroughly. For more information on Fr.

Ep. 269: Changing Worldviews and the Search for Truth, with Matt Erickson and Adam Patrick
Today, two of my friends are back with us: Matt Erickson from the Kingpilled Podcast and Adam Patrick from The Age of Information Podcast. We cover the topic of re-orienting oneself towards Truth once new information has been made evident to us. As Adam puts it, centuries ago, people truly were at a disadvantage because of the lack of access to information. However, today, we have so much of the entire history of the world at our fingertips. We have all been in a quest for cohesion and true epistemic sense-making, and we discuss parts of that journey and where we've ended up. I think many of you will find this discussion quite relatable and hopefully also enjoyable.

My guest this week is Fr. Deacon Ananias Sorem, PhD. He is CEO, Founder, and President of Patristic Faith. Fr. Deacon is an Orthodox apologist and teaches Philosophy at Fullerton College and Carroll College. He is the author of several articles and peer-reviewed papers, including: "Searle, Materialism, and the Mind-Body Problem", "Gnostic Scientism and Technocratic Totalitarianism", "An Orthodox Approach to the Dangers of Modernity and Technology", and "An Orthodox Theory of Knowledge: The Epistemological and Apologetic Methods of the Church Fathers". He is also known for his YouTube channel, the Norwegian Nous, where he provides content on theology, apologetics, logic, and philosophy. In this episode, we discuss the scientism that really became the main cultural "religion" being pushed over 2020 and 2021. The cult-like tactics being used harken back to Gnosticism, and Fr. Deacon details where this came from and how we can avoid the snares of scientism.

Joe Allen is here to discuss all things transhumanism, the singularity, technology, and AI. What makes AI evil, if it even is? What is the idea of transhumanism based on? Is there a spiritual nature to all of this, or is it just ones and zeroes the way the pro-abortion crowd believes we are just clumps of cells?

Clark Carlton was reared as a Southern Baptist in middle Tennessee. He was enrolled as a Raymond Brian Brown Memorial Scholar at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, when he converted to the Orthodox Church.

Vincent Lampert is an American Catholic priest and the designated exorcist of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis. As you may imagine, he's seen a lot of things that most of us haven't. We dive into his experiences as an exorcist and what that looks like, what it means, what it doesn't mean, and so on. Are demons real? Is possession real? Does it look like it does in the movies? Why does possession happen? Can we open ourselves up to it, even by accident? Is this just a way to deal with a person that needs psychological help?

First off, it's moderated by Alex Braszko rather than myself, and I'm more of a panel "guest". And then, as you've likely noticed in the title, it's broken into two episodes. Fr. Turbo guides us through explanations of the hierarchy of the Church, what is appropriate for certain people to speak on publicly, dealing with criticism, and more. George offers up his opinions and experiences running the Monomakhos blog for many years. Why can certain online Orthodox forums be as toxic as they are? Are we risking appearing prideful and lacking humility to Ortho-curious folks? Are people coming to the Church because of finding it through online platforms?

Ep. 260: The Pandemic and the War on Humanity, with Dr. Naomi Wolf
Dr. Naomi Wolf joins me this week to go over the serious information that her team has uncovered in the Pfizer documents. At , she has assembled a team of over 3500 medical experts to comb over the thousands and thousands of pages of Pfizer documents that the FDA tried to have sealed for 75 years. Luckily, a judge did not allow that. Also, Naomi and her team have discovered many of the reasons that Pfizer didn't want that information to be public. There was not incompetence on their part, but rather outright maliciousness. They knew the harmful effects and the wide variety of them and hid them from the public. We go through many of them in this short episode, and the end result is population decline, which appears to be a feature, not a bug. We get into all of this, along with issues of repentance, punishment, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, good vs. evil, and more.

Ep. 257: The Libertarian to Orthodox Christianity Pipeline, with Matt Erickson and Julie Mastrine
My guests this week, like myself, both considered themselves libertarians at one point. They now, like myself, are Orthodox Christians. They are Matt Erickson, of the Kingpilled podcast, and Julie Mastrine. My guests and myself are not the only ones to journey on this path. Why is this a thing? What is it about Orthodoxy that attracts some libertarians. Is libertarianism compatible with Orthodox Christianity? Are we still using political labels at this point?

Ep. 256: The Missing Spirit of Masculinity, with Father George Hill
This week, I have a Lieutenant Col. in the Army as well as an Army Chaplain AND an Orthodox Priest, and they are all the same person! That would be Father George Hill. He and I speak on the fact that masculinity has, for the most part, disappeared from most areas of Western Culture. Why is this? What are the ramifications? How can it be fixed? I also ask him if it's appropriate for an Orthodox Christian to join the military these days. We touch on many great topics, and I think you'll enjoy Father George's candor.

Ep. 255: No, We Aren't Born That Way, with Joseph Sciambra and Julie Mastrine
This week, not only do I have a wonderful guest, but a great co-host as well! Julie Mastrine is back on the show, this time as my co-host. Our guest is Joseph Sciambra. His story will keep you glued to this one the entire time. Joseph was raised as a Catholic kid in the Bay Area. He was molested numerous times by multiple Catholic priests, starting at age 9. This continued through his teenage years and finally, he left the Catholic church in his late teens. In his twenties, he was living as a gay man in San Francisco, where he lived fast and hard for a decade. At age 29, he was so burned out, he went back home and joined the Catholic church again only to find more priests who were preying on vulnerable men. He details many of these horrific moments and the fear that it instilled in him. Finally, he discovered Father Seraphim Rose and immediately felt drawn to his story. Through Fr. Seraphim, he found the Orthodox Church and knew he had found a home where he could actually feel safe and loved and could trust the priests. This is a wild episode, and I'm thankful for Joseph's openness. The LGBT movement does not like many of the truths that Joseph speaks about getting out. We get into his therapy and how he realized that, no, he wasn't "born gay", but rather, it had to do with deep psychological issues that he is still confronting to this very day.

This week features my appearance on the Things Hidden podcast with prior Counterflow guest, David Gornoski. I liked our discussion so much that I wanted to feature it on this show. We get into my journey from Death to Tyrants to Death to the World. We cover my job as a firefighter, the spiritual growth in my life, my political views and how they've changed, and lots more.

Ep. 253: Myths of the Manosphere, with Julie and Amy Mastrine
This week, Julie Mastrine is back on the show, and she has her twin sister, Amy, with her. They are here to discuss the toxic pendulum swing that some men have taken away from the evils of the progressive feminist left and right into the evils of toxic fake masculinity. In Orthodoxy, we are taught to not fall into the trap of the Devil's Dialectic where we have to choose one evil or the other. They're both demonic, and that's exactly how it's planned. We are to follow the Royal Path rather than falling to the left or right (spiritually), yet many of us fall. This is a discussion all about that and the toxic sides of the man v. woman dialectic that "society" has offered us to choose from. We offered a more nuanced and loving take on the way men and women can view one another.

Ep. 251: We Fight Because of Our Similarities, with David Gornoski
My guest this week, in what is one of my favorite interviews to date, is David Gornoski. David is the host of the radio show, A Neighbor's Choice, a show that looks at politics, science, and culture through the lens of Jesus' personhood revolution. On his radio show and also on his online-exclusive podcast and film series, THINGS HIDDEN, David has interviewed personalities like Ron Paul, Jordan Peterson, and Slavoj Žižek. David has also written multiple essays and columns promoting Jesus' nonviolent ethos and personhood revolution for publications such as the DailyCaller, Townhall, American Conservative, and FEE. In this episode, David breaks down Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory, and as this episode plays out, he intertwines it through various subjects in a way that ties everything we discuss together. Christianity, politics, anthropology, societal relations... it's all here, and it's a wonderful discussion.

Ep. 250: Our Coming Digital Prison, with Aman Jabbi
My guest this week brings a frightening yet important topic to the table. Aman Jabbi is the foremost expert when it comes to explaining the digital existence that we will likely experience very soon. Facial recognition, smart cities, artificial intelligence, geo-fencing, central bank digital currency, and total control over our existence. While this all sounds fairly ominous, we also get into a discussion about how it can be avoided and what that even looks like.

Ep. 248: Psychedelics and the Spiritual Realm, with David Patrick Harry
My guest this week is returning for a second appearance. He is the wonderful content creator over at the Church of the Eternal Logos, David Patrick Harry. David is a Ph.D. student at the Graduate Theological Union, where his research focuses on New Religious Movements and trends within America. In addition to that, he does research into the occult, the New Age, and psychedelic spirituality, and David is also a Christian apologist from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In this episode, we discuss mushrooms, DMT, Ayahuasca, and other psychedelics and what spiritual effects they can have on one who partakes. Is there an actual spiritual element to psychedelics? Is it necessarily positive or negative? We discuss how the spiritual experience happens and what exactly that means. We also discuss the paradigm of the psychedelic relative to the paradigm of the Orthodox Christian.

My guest this week is the owner of the Samizdat Network as well as a writer for a major newspaper. We discuss the interesting path he's traveled when it comes to his politics, philosophical interests, and now his spiritual life. Griffin has written for many platforms my listeners will be familiar with, including Fee.org and Mises.org. After his journey through libertarianism, he took a deep dive into the UFO world. Now, how would THAT lead one into Orthodoxy? Well, it's written about within Orthodox books, and we get into exactly that!

Ep. 245: Against a New World Orthodoxy, with Father John Whiteford
This week, Archpriest Father John Whiteford is on the show, and we discuss the themes in his four-part series, "The Birth of a New Religion". This series examines the threats of modern society that Father John sees creeping into Orthodox Christianity. These would be: Ecumenism, the LGBTQ ideology, pro-abortion sentiments, and renovationism. We discuss each of these and how/why they are a threat to Orthodoxy. We see the US State Dept. funding the NATO/Ukrainian push to eliminate Christ's True Church in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Not only to eliminate but to murder ordained priests and burn the Churches to the ground. Why are the globalist elites in the West determined to subvert Orthodox Christianity? Who is funding the forces in the US that are attempting to co-opt the Church? We get into all of this and more in this episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

One of my favorite guests is back with us this week. That would be Father Turbo Qualls. Fr. Turbo is an Orthodox Priest at St. Mary of Egypt Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City and part of the excellent "Royal Path" podcast. On this episode, Fr. Turbo and I discuss the spiritual warfare not only in the outside world, but within each of us. Sometimes, getting closer to the Light of Christ is a scary thing as the proverbial fat burns away. The demons play on our lust for comfort especially, and it can feel good in the moment to give into their call. We also dive into Fr. Turbo's punk rock days, and he details how being an "outsider" of sorts prepared him for Orthodoxy. Fr. Turbo drops a lot of wonderful wisdom in this episode, and I have no doubt that you will learn some things. Fr. Turbo's podcast with Cyprian and Andrew: Fr.

Ep. 243: A True Rebellion Against This World, with Father John Valadez
My guest on this week's episode is Father John Valadez. Fr. John is the current head man in charge at the Death to the World magazine and website. Death to the World seeks to inspire truth-seeking and soul-searching amidst the modern age of nihilism and despair, promoting the ancient principles of the last true rebellion: to be dead to this world and alive to the other world. We discuss the nature of punk rock and metal subcultures and the rebellion against the fake American Dream and modern society that they promise. But what solutions do punk and alternative counter-cultural movements offer? Many times, people within those groups find themselves in a dark, empty world of nihilism. Orthodoxy offers people a true counter-cultural rebellion against a fake, empty world, yet also offers a transcendent, spiritual, and mystical solution.

Ep. 242: Orthodoxy vs. the New World Order, with Fr. John Peck
My guest to start us off in 2023 is Father John Peck, who puts on the tremendous weekly class called "Ecclesioclasm: The Church, The Virus, and the Vaccine". In this weekly class, he breaks down the constant barrage of propaganda that is thrown at us on an almost minute-by-minute basis. The globalists and the evil powers behind the push for one world government and religion are ultimately out to end the Orthodox Church, as they've said multiple times and as you're seeing play out in Ukraine right now. Why is this? What can be done about it? Is there optimism for 2023 and beyond? We discuss all of this and more in the episode of the Counterflow Podcast. Get more from Fr.

Ep. 241: The Men Have Disappeared and the Women Are Undateable, with Dr. Mark McDonald
This week, Dr. Mark McDonald is back on the show, and as per usual, we aren't shying away from spicy topics. Mark has a wonderful Substack where I found two pieces recently that we dive into. "The Disappearance of the American Man" and "Why American Women Are Undatable". Broadly, men have become lazy, apathetic, unhealthy, and unwilling to go out and date. Why is this? Why are testosterone levels so low? Does it have anything to do with the feminization of the United States? How did what happened in 2020 impact this? Does the fact that many women are mentally unstable, narcissistic, angry, and undateable? When did this phenomenon happen? How is it all related? We get into ALL of this. Towards the end, we discuss the depression that many people feel in December and how that can be conquered.

My guest this week is Orthodox Priest and writer, Father John Downie. Fr. John wrote some very compelling pieces for the Brownstone Institute, where he discusses many of the problems with the Covid regime from an Orhtodox perspective. One hospital tried to deny Fr. John from taking Holy Communion to a dying patient -- he wouldn't allow them to block him. That is because he answers to something bigger than the fear of unknowing hospital staffers. Many people caved during 2020 and closed not only businesses but even some churches. Many were pro-jab despite knowing nothing about it. Who stood up to this evil? We discuss this and more. Find Fr.

Ep. 237: Liberty without Morality is Hedonism, with Jonah Martin
My guest this week is Jonah Martin, a former ship captain in the Pacific NW, former libertarian, former secularist, and NOW Orthodox Christian, farmer in Iowa, and manager of St. Nicholas Press. His goal was to escape the nihilism of modernity. We all know what states like Washington were like over 2020 and 2021. Jonah says moving to a big farm in Iowa was like realizing none of that insanity even existed. How did his views on culture change? Did becoming Orthodox give him a different worldview than the one he had as a libertarian? What about his views on rights, liberty, and individualism--did those change? Can we have liberty without a moral society? These are the issues we dive into in this episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

Ep. 236: Does the Covid Cult Deserve Amnesty? with Vin Armani
My guest this week is Vin Armani, also known as Cyprian. We are discussing the theme in an article written by Emily Oster in the Atlantic. In the article, she pleads for amnesty on behalf of the Covid regime, for all of the evil they pushed onto society. Masks, jabs, lockdowns, firings, ostracization, a caste system, apartheid, death, and more were all from these people in the name of "safety". Should forgiveness even be considered for these people? If so, under what parameters should we consider granting them forgiveness? Do they deserve prison time? Death? Love? We discuss all of this, and it really is a nice lesson on repentance. We also get into what exactly is going on with this FTX scandal.

My guest on this episode of Counterflow is Adam Patrick. Adam was the host of the now defunct "Y'er Talkin Over Me" podcast and is now launching "The Age of Information" podcast. His goal is to move the discussions past just "government bad, freedom good" and start to look at the larger battle taking place. In this chat, we discuss the way we view religion and spirituality in the Western world vs. how it was viewed in the East for thousands of years. The Western mindset often informs our thinking, but is it the way the Church Fathers looked at things? What is the difference? Was the Covid Cult of the last few years rooted in spirituality?

We are discussing many of the themes in his article, "Sinister Psychosis and the Remembrance of God". 2020 and 2021 gave us a lot of evil, and our love of comfort and safety was used to impart much of the evil. Why is this happening to us now? Where are we in spiritual warfare, and how do the tactics of the Evil One work in our modern times? Fr Zecharia studies the writings of the Elites and views them through the lens of the Saints. His perspective on these matters is beautiful and refreshing, and I know you'll love this episode.

And for many decades, the impact on US policy that Israel has is very out of proportion. Why is this? There are a segment of people in the US who believe Israel is a Holy Land.

My guest this week is Rachel Wilson, author of the book, "Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation". Rachel and I discuss the themes in her book which tie the current feminist movement as well as the first wave of feminism to its occultist roots. We are so enveloped by feminist ideology that we don't even recognize it at this point. Young girls are raised in it, HR rooms are drenched in it, and even most middle-age women promote it in some way. By design, it's been a disaster for women and where things stand now. Why is this? Are all of the early feminist figures into the occult and Pagansim? Is there an underlying evil nature to all of it? What has it done to the family?

Ep. 227: The Ethics of Beauty, with Dr. Timothy Patitsas
My guest this week is the author of the wonderful book, "The Ethics of Beauty". The original task of Ethics was to guide us to the most just and meaningful life possible. Today, ethicists define their discipline more narrowly, as "the rational investigation of morality." This reduces Ethics to the examination of the Good by the True, tacitly suppressing the deep human need for the Beautiful. In this book, Dr. Pattisas covers many topics related to this, including trauma, war, gender ideology, and more.

Ep. 225: The Empire Has No Clothes, with Charlie Robinson
Charlie Robinson is back with us this week. We talk about a few different yet possibly related topics. I have been emphasizing for a while now that we are in an "emperor has no clothes" moment in America. More and more people are starting to see the illegitimacy of the American Empire and Regime. Their propaganda is becoming more absurd, their elites are becoming less impressive, and the writing is on the wall -- this simply won't continue much longer, and it will completely fall apart. We discuss this and have a few laughs throughout. We get into how the medical regime lied and misrepresented things in order to force more people into poor decisions. Then we get into a topic that is a bit heavier: the Deagel 2025 Forecast shows a MASSIVE decrease in the populations of many first-world countries. Why is that? Charlie compares it with rates of recent medical interventions, and the correlation is rather frightening. We aren't claiming it as certain, and in fact, we hope we are wrong. Either way, I feel that it's information you should know, and that's why he's on this episode of Counterflow.

Ep. 224: New World Order Plans, with Courtenay Turner
My guest this week is the host of the Courtenay Turner Podcast, and from that, you have probably already guessed her name. Courtenay is well versed in global power structures, the NWO, transhumanism and the ruling elite, among other things. She is here to help us dive into all of those topics. Plus, what were her awakening moments over 2020? When did she realize that what "they" were telling us about a certain sickness were not true? We get into all of this and more.

Ep. 223: Corporations, Government, and the Total State, with Auron MacIntyre
This week, I've got Auron MacIntyre on the show to bring his refreshing and nuanced perspective on government, society, and power structures. Auron writes often about what he calls the "Total State". For decades, conservatives and right-wing folks have defended corporations and focused more on attacking the State. After 2020, many are starting to realize that there may be less of a hard line between those entities. When corporations and government are as intertwined as they are, we are dealing with the Total State. How do we deal with this, and what dangers do using the wrong tactics present for us? Is there any optimism to be found with examples like Ron DeSantis in Florida, as far as fighting the Total State? We discuss all of this and more on this week's episode of the Counterflow Podcast.

Ep. 222: Powers and Principalities, with Father Turbo Qualls
This week is Part 2 of my discussion with Father Turbo Qualls. After we finished episode 217 with Fr Turbo, he and I decided we needed to talk again ASAP, and many of you let me know that you were eager to hear him on the show again. So this week, he and I got into the topic of "powers and principalities". Many of us see evil going on in this world and understand that there are forces behind the figureheads in government and corporations, but we sometimes have a hard time understanding just what these forces are. Fr Turbo does a wonderful job of breaking down the power structures, spiritual forces, tangible forces, where the true power lies, and what it all means. What are demons? Can we see them? Are they floating around, looking for someone to overtake? Are they even real, or is it just bad wiring in the brains of some folks? This is a great deep dive into all of that.

Ep. 221: Mass Shootings and the World Liberalism Made, with Katherine Dee
This week, my guest Katherine Dee and I discuss a couple of the topics that she has tackled in her writings over at her Default Friend blog. We discuss what she sees as a sexual counterrevolution coming our way. Katherine writes, "If there's one drum I've been beating for a minute now, it's that I believe the pendulum with sexuality is going to swing, big time. And seriously, if you guys remember me for anything, have it be this." We dive right into that, and I think it helps bridge us to our discussion on the dark nihilism that pervades our culture and leads to these terrible mass shootings we keep seeing. The Left likes to focus on guns because they understand it won't actually do any good. The Right, in reaction to that, wants the band-aid of arming teachers and/or providing more security. When nobody wants to discuss the rot within our culture, nothing will ever be done. Where does this empty nihilism come from? Katherine believes that it is the modern American enlightenment tradition of liberalism.

Ep. 220: Globalization and the Apocalypse, with GM Davis
GM Davis joins me this week for the lighthearted topics of the Antichrist, the apocalypse, and globalization. He wrote a very good book on this called, "Antichrist: The Fulfillment of Globalization". We get into world history, Church history, central banks, the events that changed the course of history, and where we may be headed next. In this interview, as in the book, you will learn that gnosticism has reared its head many times and is partially at the root of much of the evil that folks have encountered through the centuries.

Ep. 219: The Evil Nature of Woke Culture, with Noelle Mering
My guest this week is Noelle Mering, author of the book, Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressivism. The Woke phenomenon has been covered on this show before, but not in the more well-rounded manner in which we cover it in this episode. Noelle and I discuss the tenets of Wokeism, but we also get into the darker, more evil aspects of it as we talk about the spiritual warfare at play here. On the surface, the folks we would call "woke" may seem like people we can laugh at and call crazy. In reality, there's more to it than that, and we get several layers deep in this discussion.

Ep. 218: The Makings of the NPC, with David Patrick Harry
My guest this week is the brilliant and entertaining David Patrick Harry from Church of the Eternal Logos. David and I discuss the makeup and theology of the NPC, that is, the non-playable character. NPCs are all around us, and you likely have friends, coworkers, and family members who are NPCs. It's one thing to just poke fun at them and laugh, but we more so get into what forces are behind the perpetuation of the NPC, the danger they pose, and why this is happening. When one is an empty vessel, he or she can be filled with anything that the corporate and state powers-that-be want to fill that vessel with. This is a great one.

Ep. 217: It Takes Humility to Understand What's Happening, with Father Turbo Qualls
In one of my favorite conversations ever, I had Father Turbo Qualls on the show. Fr. Turbo is the rector at St. Mary of Egypt, Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City, Missouri, where he lives with his wife Juliana and their 8 children. As a (now retired) tattoo artist and former member of a punk rock band, Fr. Turbo grew up in Orange County, California, in the counterculture scene. That gave him a perspective that he carried through his libertarian political views and even into his Orthodox Christian view of the world. We discuss many topics here, and Fr. Turbo really gets into the humility it takes to not only understand what is happening to us and around us, but the humility it takes to find the real Truth, and what that means. This society is wrapped up in a shallow, materialistic nihilism that makes it easy to fall into the snares of evil. To counter that -- and it is mainstream -- it takes humility and a genuine search for Truth and love. For more of Fr.

Ep. 216: The Implications of the ESG Score, with Tommy Salmons
My guest this week is the host of the Year Zero podcast and writer/content producer at the Libertarian Institute, Tommy Salmons. Tommy wrote a nice piece on ESG Scoring and what all it entails. He and I delve into this topic, and he explains it in a way that is easy to follow. The implications of the ESG system will be painful to many of us and will be felt for a long time if something isn't done to stop it soon. Let this be your one stop shop for a total understanding of the ESG system, and definitely share this one with friends and family.

Ep. 215: False Flags and Perfect Storms, with Monica Perez
I am so happy to finally get Monica Perez on the show this week. Monica is the host of the Propaganda Report podcast and Deep Dives, with Monica Perez, where she analyzes one of the top stories of the day from a perspective of truth, liberty, and justice. Monica was a radio host for 8.5 years on WSB Radio in Atlanta before she was unceremoniously dismissed. She's more than welcome on Counterflow, and this week, we cover a litany of topics. Monica is very adept at discerning what is propaganda and what is real information. We discuss that as well as false flags and the fact that they aren't always needed. Sometimes, there are incentives in place and the "perfect storm" is created for the regime to take advantage of. Monica and I also discuss how her political views have changed post-2020. I think you will really enjoy this chat. For more of Monica's work, check out the following sites: Sponsors: Paloma Verde CBD ( ): Enter code BUCK at checkout for 20% off your order!

Ep. 214: The Most Canceled Man in America, with Jason Rink
Jason Rink is back on the show this week. Jason is a documentary filmmaker whose many recent works are deemed too controversial by many in the Libertarian world. His newest documentary is on Nick Fuentes and was set to show at a libertarian film festival, but they canceled the film and the discussion panel about the film. In a painful twist of irony, he was offered to be on a panel discussing the topic of cancel culture. We also discuss the latest show trial on the events of January 6th, as Jason was actually at the Capitol that day.

Ep. 213: The Last True Rebellion, with Justin Marler
I am honored to have Justin Marler on with me this week. Justin is one of the first members of the band Sleep, as well as the creator of the 'zine "Death to the World". DTTW was an Orthodox Christian handmade magazine with a metal/punk rock aesthetic that Justin created when he was a Monk at the St. Herman's of Alaska Orthodox Monastery in Platina, CA. Justin came of age in the Bay Area punk rock scene, living with guys from Green Day and Rancid in a club/warehouse in the East Bay. They were a brotherhood united in rebelling against the norms and ways of the modern world... that was until he noticed that he was still longing for something more fulfilling and less nihilistic. He happened to meet an Orthodox Christian nun who introduced him to Orthodoxy, and his world was forever changed. He became a Monk for seven years and lived what he realized was actually the last true rebellion. We discuss this unique journey, his book, his 'zines, his music, and more.

Ep. 212: The Nihilistic Spirit of Modern Feminism, with Julie Mastrine
My guest is writer, online marketing pro, and Director of Marketing at Allsides.com, Julie Mastrine. Julie has a heck of a story, and as we detail it, she brings to light many of the supposed "truths" we are taught about left-wing politics, New Age spirituality, and feminism. She was deep into all of those and had enough awareness to realize that it's all completely nihilistic and antithetical to true happiness. She discusses what lessons she learned along the way to being a productive, happy, and mentally and spiritually healthy woman and Orthodox Christian.

Ep. 211: Miserable Women and Cowardly Men, with Dr. Mark McDonald
This week, Dr. Mark McDonald is back on the show, and you're in for an excellent episode. Dr. McDonald is a psychiatrist, author, and podcaster. Today we are discussing the phenomenon that is plaguing societies across the West: miserable women and cowardly men. He writes: "As a society, we have allowed this group to define our current social norms." Why is this happening? Which came first? Is it by design? We also get into young people and the fact that often, they do not know how to communicate. Why is this happening? What can be done about all of the problems discussed in this episode?

Ep. 209: Revealing Their Global Plans, with Matthew Ehret
My guest today is author, journalist, and proprietor at the Canadian Patriot, Matthew Ehret. We discuss the current geopolitical events as well as how they relate to the bigger picture on where things are headed. There are a number of powerful groups that work in the shadows yet seem to always have a way of influencing the way things happen throughout the world. The situation in Ukraine right now is a microcosm of the bigger picture. The players involved, the spiritual and ideological battle, the balance of powers, and more. What about Elon Musk? Is he on the side of good, or is he a player in the game? How can libertarianism be of help in this fight? Are there any legitimate politicians out there who are fighting for "good"?

They are the swastika-wearing descendants of the original German Nazis. Now they are fighting for and with Ukraine and millions of US tax dollars are going over to help fund them. We also discuss the possibility of nuclear war and what that would look like. For all things Scott Horton related, vist: Sponsors: Gold River Trading Co.

He is also well-versed in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. In fact, he has funded much of his campaign in that manner. We discuss peace, non-intervention, Bitcoin, money, the Fed, movement passports, injection mandates, and more. He is a younger and refreshing version of a politician, and folks like him are much needed in the United States Congress. He believes we are in a battle between good and evil.

My guest this week is my friend and one of the hosts of the Kingpilled podcast, Matt Erickson. Matt and I discuss his recent migration from California to Texas and also the continuing evolution of his worldview, which has gone through the libertarian and anarchist phase and is now something other than that. Matt was one of the early people involved in the Mises Caucus within the Libertarian Party. Now he wants nothing to do with the label of "libertarian". What changed? How has he found himself steeped in Orthodox Christianity? Can't one be both a libertarian and an Orthodox Christian? What would the Matt of 2022 tell the Matt of 2016, if he could go back in time?

You and I both understand that many of the universities are filled with unserious students who are lost and just parrot whatever the fashionable trend of the moment happens to be. Well, you will be happy to discover the young people at the Chicago Thinker push back against the regime narrative, not just to foster a spirit of rebellion but rather to pursue the truth and undo the destructive lies that have made up the propaganda of the last many years. They continue to fight the good fight against jab and booster mandates for college students, as well as mask mandates.

Pedro and I discuss the blame that lays at the feet of Western liberal internationalists and the Western military industrial complex. Also, most of the media, including most of Fox News, have joined forces to peddle the same fiction. Like the government, when the media pushes a bi-partisan message, it's usually evil.

In this episode, we discuss the various options you have when you want to exit the mess that is developing in Canada and the US. Some Latin countries have certain benefits. Some European countries have other benefits. Some places don't require taxes and some do. Would it be easier to just flee a blue state and move to a red state? Is moving to Panama the best option? Is it best to have a job that is strictly online? What about banks freezing the accounts of political dissidents? All this and more on episode 201 of the Counterflow Podcast. Enjoy!

Ep. 199: Sifting Through the Russia-Ukraine Narrative, with George Michalopulos
My guest is the proprietor of the Monomakhos blog, which covers culture, politics, and religion. He penned two recent pieces about what's going on with Russia and Ukraine. We sift through the lies and propaganda of the regime and try to present a case that you won't hear on CNN or read in the NYT. There are progressives pushing for war with a nuclear armed country because they think Putin gave them Trump. There are neo-cons pushing for war with a nuclear armed country because they are idiot dupes being used by mega-corporations and weapons manufacturers. There are people that screamed at you to mask your kids and inject them with an experimental drug yet now pretend to care about the lives of people in Ukraine. Obviously, truth is the first casualty when it comes to war. We are witnessing that tenfold currently.

Vin Armani (a.k.a. Cyprian) returns to the show this week. Vin and I discuss the last few years, the fact that we will never return to "normal", and the suffering that will be coming to all of us in the next few years. Vin predicts that nobody can escape what is coming, but you will be able to choose how you suffer, if you are prepared for it. Canada just stole the bank accounts from anyone who dared speak against the regime. That and much worse is headed our way. There's a way to avoid it somewhat and to protect yourself and your family.

Ep. 197: Walking Through Darkness, Then Finding the Light, with Michael Witcoff
My guest today is Michael Witcoff, a.k.a. Brother Augustine. Michael is a Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity as well as author of the best-seller, "On the Masons and Their Lies". He has had an interesting life, to say the least. He was raised in a Jewish family, basically an atheist, became a Mason, learned of some of the dark aspects of the Masons, was a part of the "pick up artist" community, and is now an Orthodox Christian and happily married. We discuss the various dimensions of his lifelong journey, including some of the evils that he discovered on his journey. Are the FreeMasons just a social club of beer-drinking older men? Are they *all* aware of the ancient secrets and occultism that goes on, or is it compartmentalized? We discuss that and more in this episode.

Ep. 196: Building the Post Liberal Future, with Charles Haywood
My guest today is known as "the Maximum Leader" at the Worthy House. He is Charles Haywood. The Worthy House is an excellent site full of both audio and written book reviews as well as very good original pieces by Charles. He has a piece he calls "The Foundationalist Manifesto", in which he charts out twelve pillars upon which to build our post-liberal society. We discuss some of those as well as what must be done with the Left once the regime collapses and why he's very optimistic about the future. Charles is also an Orthodox Christian, and we discuss why Orthodoxy was appealing to him rather than Protestantism.

Ep. 195: Why They're 'Suddenly' Telling the Truth, with L.B. Muñiz
Today, I've got L.B. Muñiz on the show. He writes and podcasts over at . We are discussing some themes that he has written about. You have probably noticed that some mainstream voices have slowly started saying some truths that just six months ago were getting people banned from various social media sites. Oh, now we can say that the vaccine doesn't stop the spread? Why now? Are they just parroting the newest science, or is this how propagandists work? We also discuss post-libertarianism. Why has that become a pejorative for some? What the hell does post-libertarianism even mean? Tune in, find out, and enjoy my chat with L.B. Muñiz!

Ep. 194: Stopping College Mandates and Fighting Lockdowns, with Joni McGary and Anthony Raimondo
My guests today are two people who are willing to step up and fight for what they believe in... for free! Rather than sit around and argue about abstract political issues, their positions within the LP, or theoretical utopias, they both just get up, get out, and do the hard work that is needed to help regular people fight tyranny. Joni McGary started a group to stop vaccine mandates on college campuses, and before she knew it, she was on Fox News multiple times, and her movement is currently gaining a lot of traction very quickly. Anthony Raimondo is a lawyer in Northern California, and during the lockdowns, he looked around and realized that nobody was helping these small business owners that decided they had to remain open. So he started representing them in court pro-bono and won just about every case he represented. He's now helping folks get vaccine exemptions. It's such a great conversation with two honest and hard-working people who want to do rather than just talk.

Ep. 193: America's Mass Delusional Psychosis, with Dr. Mark McDonald
My guest this week is a psychiatrist and now author of the book, "United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis". Obviously, most of you have looked around over the last few years and noticed that there are a lot of people who are living in fear and appear to have lost their minds. You may have even encountered them on a trail wearing a mask or deriding you if you don't. We've all seen the "Karen" meme mocking the controlling female who has gone crazy. Dr. Mark McDonald is here to break all of this down in a very easy-to-comprehend way. There were signs of this prior to COVID, but that's certainly where it really went off the rails. Why did it happen? What caused it? Why are people still wearing masks when we know they don't work? Why are people still scared to leave their apartment and live life? Why are so many men completely emasculated? We discuss all of this and more.

West will be primarying Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott this year to be the Republican Nominee for Texas Governor in the November 8, 2022 election. We get into "leadership", what that means to Col. West, and why he sees a lack of it today.

Ep. 191: The Worst Public Health Failure in Generations, with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya
My guest this week is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the doctors behind the Great Barrington Declaration. I wanted him to come on and get us all caught up with exactly where we are regarding the science on COVID-19--that is, the ACTUAL science, rather than the pseudo-religious propaganda dished out by the corporate press. We discuss getting the virus twice, natural immunity vs. the vaccine, effectiveness (or lack thereof) of masks, lockdowns, and more. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya discusses why the response from public health officials was one of the worst calamities in modern history.

Ep. 188: The Beauty and Tradition of Orthodox Christianity, with Father Ignatius
My guest this week is the Priest at St. Andrew Orthodox Christian Church in Lockhart, Texas, Father Ignatius. We get into the rich history and traditions of the Orthodox Church: the Divine Liturgy, the icons, the saints, the Church Fathers, and more. His Church proudly never closed their doors during the lockdowns. They remained open, not only for worship, but for clothing, food, and supplies for anyone who needed them during the great snow storm of 2021. "We've never shut our doors for lockdowns, and we never will," he says in our discussion. Father Ignatius also discusses the importance of keeping to the tradition of exactly how they've done communion for thousands of years, despite the pressures of modern day scare tactics from outside the Church. The Orthodox Church remains unchanged for thousands of years, and many people are discovering just how beautiful and important that can be. I think you will really enjoy this discussion.

Ep. 187: Charlottesville Untold, with Anne Wilson Smith
My guest today is Anne Wilson Smith, author of the book, "Charlottesville Untold". As with most giant stories that happen around the world, the media has their concocted version that they present to the public, and then there is the real story which is rarely given. We have to rely on voices like Anne's to get the actual details. As with the January 6th narrative, the Charlottesville narrative has been so far removed from reality that it's hard to know what exactly happened there. So, Anne is here to tell us exactly that. She was there. She gives her story on what she saw, who was at fault for the craziness that broke out, and all of the details surrounding the event. Tune in and finally get the true story.

Ep. 186: Cronyism in America, with Dr Patrick Newman
My guest this week is Mises Institute Fellow, Patrick Newman. Patrick is an economics professor and author. Today we are discussing themes in his newest book, "Cronyism: Liberty vs Power in America 1607-1849". Even as far back as the 1600's, there have been corporations getting together with the State to gain power that would not have otherwise been possible for them to obtain. Patrick and I discuss that, as well as relating it to where we are now in terms of Cronyism in America. And since I have him on, I'd be remiss is I didn't ask him some pertinent questions about the current state of the economy. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.

Ep. 185: Ditching Political Labels, with Meghan Murphy
My guest on the show this week is the proprietor of the Feminist Current website and the Same Drugs video podcast, Meghan Murphy. Meghan is well known as a feminist who comes from the left. However, with her evolution over recent years, she has come to realize that as some of her stances change, it's better to avoid political labels altogether. While some of her principles remain unchanged, many of her "labels" have been tarnished by others. As you know, some of my labels have been tarnished over the years as well, so I really relate to Meghan on this. We discuss feminism, prostitution, COVID, the patriarchy, Meghan's relocation to Mexico from Canada, and much more. This was a really enjoyable conversation for me, and I think you'll enjoy it too.

Sam believes that ultimately, we will win this battle against this evil. We discuss some of our victories along with the losses of the regime. Sam believes that the regime is up against the ropes, and the more they try to swing, the more regular folks are waking up to the fact that the emperor has no clothes.

In this discussion, we get into the Right's historic inability to take advantage of their elected positions to actually fight back against the constant encroachment by the Establishment Left. We talk about the university system, the jab mandates, the problems with the Republican Party, and more. Anthony often finds bigger pushback from his own party than from the Left. Why is that?

James has a terrific analysis of how conspiracies happen at the highest levels. As he points out, the highest levels of power are far above elected officials and names we all know.

Ep. 179: Understanding the Psychosis of the Left, with Dr. Richard Kradin

He has authored several texts that examine psychology and society, and he's brilliant at analysing the inner workings of the leftist mind. Obviously, one can look around today and see that many on the left seem to be dealing with mental health issues and much of their political beliefs are fueled by resentment, anger and projection. Dr. Kradin and I examine this phenomenon, and he breaks it down in a manner that you will find palatable. We also examine the question of what we can do moving forward in regard to living amongst them.

Ep. 177: Grab Political Power and Use It Against Your Enemies, with Pedro Gonzalez
My guest this week is the Associate Editor at Chronicles Magazine and one of the best voices on the Right today, Pedro Gonzalez. Pedro and I discuss the right's issue with state power. The Left has been able to grab power and willfully use it to win every battle and gain power over every institution in the country. Is it worth it for the right and libertarians to "stick to their principles" if it means losing every battle? If your principles lead to a world with less freedom, maybe it's time to examine your principles. We also discuss the US military and the fact that it is being run by low-IQ losers. The chaotic rot that has infested every State institution has also infected the military. Pedro and I discuss the impact that author James Burnham has had on his thinking along with what we should learn from Huey P Long. This is an excellent discussion, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Ep. 173: Separation Over Persuasion, with Jeff Deist
My guest this week is the President of the Mises Institute, Jeff Deist. We discuss one of the biggest silver linings that can be taken from 2020 and the COVID moment. It's time to take stock in what has happened and realize that trying to get a Rand Paul or a Thomas Massie elected at the Presidential level isn't time and money well spent. Is there a way in which we can choose to separate from the insane left rather than trying to persuade them with our abstract ideas? (Ideas that half of the population find abhorrent, to boot.) What can be done at a small local level? Can change be made there? We also discuss the need to have elite members of society push the ideas of liberty.

Ep. 171: A Libertarian's Perspective on January 6th, with Jason Rink
My guest today is documentary filmmaker Jason Rink. Jason was at the Capitol on January 6th 2021. He was filming a documentary called "The Steal" and ended up in the middle of a historical moment. The very next day, he got a one-on-one interview with the Q'Anon Shaman, who some of you may know better as "the Buffalo Shaman". At this point, Jason realized he had another documentary in the making, so he will now end up producing "The Steal" and "Q Sent Me" as separate documentaries. What happened there on January 6th? Why has the Federal Government used it as a new 9/11 to create draconian measures against US citizens? Were there weapons? Were lives in danger? What did the Q'Anon Shaman have to say about what happened? Are libertarians making a mistake by shunning anyone in the MAGA crowd? We discuss ALL of this and more. This is a great chat, and I think you will find value in it.

Ep. 170: A History of the American Left, with Thaddeus Russell
This week, I welcome Thaddeus Russell back to the show. Thad is here to discuss the American Left. He is giving a course at Renegade University starting on August 23rd and going through September 13th. Thaddeus knows the Left quite well, as he grew up eyeballs deep in it and considered himself part of it for many years. In this episode, he goes over many aspects of leftism, from the abolitionists to communists and socialists to progressives to neoliberals and the nightmare we are witnessing today. The Left, at one point, fought the establishment and the powers-that-be. They now run every institution of power in the United States, and they now are the establishment. How did we get to this point? Did their "long march through the institutions" work perfectly? We talk about many names that you know: John Brown, Herbert Marcuse, BLM, the Black Panthers, the Clintons, Bernie Sanders, Kimberle Crenshaw, and more.

Ep. 169b: Staying Optimistic, Despite the Times, with Jason Stapleton and Pete Quiñones
My guests for this bonus episode are Jason Stapleton, of the Wealth, Power, and Influence podcast, and Pete Quiñones, of the Freeman Beyond the Wall podcast. In this discussion, we go over the many reasons people feel a sense of darkness and pessimism lately. For many of us, it feels like relationships are fracturing, pressure to comply is ramping up, and it seems to be getting worse. There are still a lot of great things happening, though, and now more than ever before, you can break out of the matrix and attempt to live the life you want. This is a casual conversation just going over the threats we face and the ways we can avoid them. I hope it will leave you optimistic, despite the madness around us.

Ep. 169: Stopping the Steal, with Professor David Clements
My guest this week is one of the driving forces behind the election audits happening across the country. He is Professor David Clements. David appeared on Tucker Carlson to discuss being targeted by his university for not having leftist views, and he briefly mentioned his studying of the election lawsuits. Well, Steve Bannon was listening and contacted him, which has lead to him taking deep dives into what happened with the election of November 2020 and just how deep the fraud goes. We discuss all of that, plus a lot more. David is a very interesting guest, and I think you will really enjoy this episode.

Ep. 166: Integration is Infiltration, with Hotep Jesus
My guest for this episode is the one and only Hotep Jesus. Hotep wants his community to build their wealth, be independent, and not try to assimilate with whom the Left and the government says they should assimilate. We discuss how to deal with the Left, what he thinks of Trump, what he thinks about tradition, and his thoughts on Kamala Harris.

Ep. 165: The Neoreactionary Movement, with Charlemagne
My guest this week produces wonderfully made YouTube videos on the philosophy of neoreactionism: the original brainchild of thinkers like Mencius Moldbug and Nick Land. Neoreactionary thought is often misunderstood and yet vitally important to understanding political power and philosophy. It has been incorrectly called the alt-right and even worse. Charlemagne and I discuss the roots of neoreactionary thought and what it means in terms of power and political reality. It sprang from brilliant thinkers like James Burnham and Hans Hermann Hoppe and has lead to new takes on Rothbard and Mises. This discussion will inform you and educate you on what it is, where is came from, and how to view politics through the neoreactionary lens.

Ep. 164: Traditionalism and the Rise of the Populist Right, with Ben Teitelbaum
My guest this week comes from the Left but authored a great book titled, "War for Eternity: The Return of Traditionalism and the Rise of the Populist Right". Much of this book focuses on Steven K. Bannon and a cast of Traditionalists from around the world. Ben and I take a deep dive into Bannon, as Ben had many meetings, lunches, and dinners with him and his inner circle. We get into what exactly Traditionalism is, what right wing populism is, and how they relate. Bannon is often smeared as dumb, racist, crazy, and more. Ben found him to be very smart, well-read, eccentric, esoteric, and influential. Much of the legacy media ignores the right wing populist movement and writes Bannon off as a powerless nut. Ben discusses how wrong they are to do that. The future of American politics as well as global politics may be heavily influenced by Bannon and the cast of characters discussed in his book.

Ep. 163: We Are Becoming Less Intelligent, with Edward Dutton
My guest this week is Edward Dutton, author of the book, "At Our Wits' End". Edward doesn't shy away from controversial topics. I come at this wondering why a discussion of the intelligence quotient going down over the decades would even be controversial. Edward Dutton goes through the methodology of IQ and explains the factors that have lead to its decline since the Industrial Revolution. We get into why this would be a contentious issue at all. We discuss the cyclical theory of history and where we may be in that process currently. IQ is trending downward, and it may get worse. Buckle up and enjoy this episode!

My guest today is Peter G. Klein, Carl Menger Research Fellow of the Mises Institute and W.W. Caruth Chair and Professor of Entrepreneurship at Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business. Peter joins me to discuss the phenomenon many know as "woke capitalism". We discuss where it came from, what it means, it's relationship with the early "Progressive Era", the massive support the left now has for giant corporations, and more.

Ep. 158: Going Beyond Libertarianism, with Marc Clair
My guest this week is the Head Lion over at the Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc Clair. Marc's interview style has really been an influence on me, but more than that, I can tell that he's been evolving quite a bit in his thoughts and outlook on everything from libertarianism to spirituality. As someone who respects the work he does, I wanted to bring him on and discuss the evolution I can sense in his work. We go over his part-time life in Mexico, his mindset change over 2020, his messaging, spirituality, his thoughts on what more is needed in the liberty movement, his future, and lots more. We are both really big fans of pro-wrestling, and while you may wonder how that is relevant at all, just listen, and you'll (hopefully) understand our analogies.

Clint is advocating for the Libertarian Party and Mises Caucus as being the best vehicles moving forward for the growth of liberty and messaging. Tho has a different view and pushes for using one of the two major parties in America, specifically for him, the Republican Party.

Ep. 156: Is the War on Terror Directed at US Citizens Now? with Scott Horton
My guest this week is the great Scott Horton. Scott and I discuss the War on Terror and when, if at all, American troops will finally be withdrawn from Afghanistan. Biden has already torn up the deal that Trump made with the Taliban to remove the troops by May 1, 2021. We also discuss the CIA and other nefarious groups placating the left by pretending that woke-ism and diversity are important issues to champion. At the same time, many individuals high up in government (some formerly so) are telling the country that right-wingers and libertarians are to be watched carefully as a serious threat to national security. Are we now in the CIA's scope? And speaking of the CIA, Scott gives a very good monologue on just how evil they are. Scott Horton is director of , editorial director of , host of Antiwar Radio on in Los Angeles, California, and podcasts from . He's the author of the 2021 book , the 2017 book, , and editor of the 2019 book, . He's conducted more than since 2003. In 2007, Horton won the Austin Chronicle's "" award for his Iraq war coverage on Antiwar Radio. Scott's articles have appeared at Antiwar.com, The American Conservative magazine, the History News Network, The Future of Freedom, The National Interest and the Christian Science Monitor. He was featured in the 2019 documentary An Endless War: Getting Out of Afghanistan and contributed a chapter to the 2019 book, The Impact of War.

Ep. 155: More Than Just Liberty and Individualism, with Dr. Thomas Fleming
My guest this week is the brilliant author, journalist, classicist, and historian, Dr. Thomas Fleming. Dr. Fleming first appeared on my radar as a founding member of what was then called The Southern League. We discuss what happened with that organization and what he thinks of secession these days. Dr. Fleming was also the man that Murray Rothbard reached out to and their friendship sprung the paleo-libertarian alliance at the John Randolph Club. We discuss those days and his thoughts on Murray Rothbard and that brand of libertarianism. Then we get into why libertarianism and individuality are simply not enough for a peaceful society. The left will create chaos with the voids that unsupplemented libertarianism leaves. And I couldn't let him get out of here without asking him about his days hanging out with Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground.

I advised libertarians to start resisting the, often fallacious, claim to be neither left nor right. We discuss why I said that, the pushback I received at the event, secession, the Woke left, and more. I really enjoyed this chat with Pete, and I think you will as well.

Vin is here to discuss the age that we now live in. It's what he has coined "The Dim Age". What differentiates it from the Dark Age is that the light is out there to be found. How do we tap into it?

My guest today is blowing up on YouTube as of late, and her channel is becoming a must-watch. Her name is Vanessa, and she is otherwise known as Gothix. She joins me to discuss the perceived race issue in America. We discuss her being "canceled" from her previous online presence, as well as her leftist friends dropping her after she, as a black woman, spoke out against things like: BLM, socialism, and the need for "allies". Which types of people do you think attack her the most? It couldn't be the tolerant, progressive, white left, could it? Tune in for a wonderful discussion with a sharp and entertaining guest. I even have a segment in this one where I read actual quotes about racism from progressives that I know in real life and get Vanessa's reactions. It's great. I know you'll enjoy this one.

Ep. 147: The Structures of Power and the Problems with Libertarianism, with Matthew Erickson
I am very happy to have as my guest today Matthew Erickson from the Kingpilled Videocast and "Wealth, Power, and Influence, with Jason Stapleton". Matt and I get into what government actually is and why libertarians will always be on the losing end unless they are willing to make some big changes. Matt is very good at breaking down Machiavellian power philosophy and expanding it to current times. The left is more than willing to break every rule to keep power. What will happen if libertarians just agree to abide by the non aggression principle as they continually get buried under more leftist state power? Are principles what are written on the graves of dead men? This episode will make you think.

Ep. 144: Political Strategy and Florida Man Energy, with Tho Bishop
My guest on this episode is Tho Bishop. Tho is co-host on the Radio Rothbard podcast and an assistant editor at Mises.org. He has been well versed, not only in the economic and history lessons of Murray Rothbard, but also his political strategy writings from the mid-1990s. Tho is Bay County Republican Party Vice Chairman as well and is living in what may be the most free area of the United States, as far as COVID restrictions are concerned. In this episode, we discuss political strategy as far as freedom and liberty ends go. Is the Libertarian Party the path forward, or might it stand in the way of future elections, where if a Democrat wins, freedom and quality of life are in serious trouble? We discuss Florida Governor DeSantis, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaetz as the modern day enemies of the State. Tho also discusses his thoughts on the recent debate between podcaster extraordinaire Dave Smith and Republican Senator Eric Brakey.

Ep. 135: Smashing the Lockdowns, with Michael Wolf
Strength coach extraordinaire Michael Wolf is with me today. We not only get to discuss his profession and weight lifting, but Michael has been doing quite a bit of research on the effectiveness of lockdowns and masks. Obviously, at this point, most people are seeing that the lockdowns are doing far greater damage than they are good. Michael's profession has been hit hard, as many in his field (small gym owners, etc) have had to completely abandon all that they had worked hard to build. What should happen to those who've championed such harm to so many? We discuss that too.

Ep. 124: The Woke Supremacy: An Anti-Socialist Manifesto, with Evan Sayet
My guest this week is author, speaker, speech writer, and comedian, Evan Sayet. Evan is here to discuss his new book, "The Woke Supremacy: An Anti-Socialist Manifesto". This book is an easy and highly educational read for those interested in the dangers of all forms of socialism. Evan details the differences between types of socialism (e.g. national, democratic, Russian), but more importantly, he details the similarities. We get into this current version of socialism pushed by the "woke" left. Hitler's vision wasn't so much the genocide of Jews as it was the utopia after that. Pol Pot's vision wasn't so much the killing fields as it was the utopia after that. Similarly, the current generation of woke leftists see cancelling out anyone they deem the "others" as merely a means to their utopian end too.

Ep. 121: Lew Rockwell on Right Populism and the Case for Paleo-Libertarianism Today
My guest this week is the founder and Chairman of the Mises Institute, Lew Rockwell. In 1990, Lew wrote a historic manifesto called, "The Case for Paleo- Libertarianism". This was a case to denounce the culturally leftist instincts of mainstream libertarianism and make the case that liberty thrives much better in a culturally conservative setting. Within the pages of the famed "Rothbard-Rockwell Report", the case was made to cut ties with the Libertarian Party and to back presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan. The political climate of the day was one that saw a mainstream conservative candidate who was an anti-interventionist and not afraid to call out the dangers of politically correct culture. Seeing that as an option and the libertine/leftist/atheist leanings of the Libertarian Party gave Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell cause to align with the Buchanan campaign and denounce the LP. Fast forward to today's political climate. Do you see any parallels between then and now? Is it time to walk away from the Libertarian Party in order to support right-wing populism?

Ep. 120: Ron Paul on the Lockdowns Causing More Harm Than Good
My guest this week is the great Dr. Ron Paul. This is a great honor for me, as Dr. Paul has been an inspiration to me for a long time. His willingness to always stand on principle, no matter how unpopular it may be, has been unwavering, and his commitment to liberty and peace is unmatched by any congressman in the history of this country. He is here to discuss the harmful and disastrous lockdown policies implemented by many countries, states, and cities. As he did during the media blitz and myriad of lies regarding WMDs in Iraq in 2002 and 2003, Dr. Paul has been in the fray speaking truth amidst the COVID-19 propaganda campaign from Day One. Will the lockdown warriors be held accountable for the damage they've caused? Only time will tell. All we can continue to do is speak truth against lies and stand on principle, just as Ron Paul has done his whole life.

Ep. 119: Understanding COVID-19 Stats in the Correct Context
There is no shortage of dishonest reporting on COVID-19 these days, and we are here to help you understand what is really going on. Statistician extraordinaire Joshua Ketter is back with us to break down not only the COVID facts for Texas but for the country as a whole. How does Texas compare to NY? The NY Times wrote that the situation in Texas was "New York all over again". Why would they lie like that? What numbers are truly important? Is it the death rate? The case rate? Why are death rates so often reported incorrectly? Should children go back to school now? We cover all of these things, and more importantly, we put the information in the correct context and explain what actually matters.

We also discuss BLM, the current culture wars, paleo-conservatism, libertarianism, Hans Herman Hoppe, Trump, Tucker Carlson and more. How could you miss out on this one???

Ep. 115: Marxism, Libertarianism, and the Culture Wars, with Thaddeus Russell
For this episode, I welcomed Thaddeus Russell to the show. Thaddeus is the author of "A Renegade History of the United States" and founder of Renegade University. Thaddeus details his political journey from being born into socialism and an avowed Marxist for years to someone who now loathes the modern left. We get into Thad's reasons for not being a libertarian, his thoughts on the culture wars in America right now, secession, war, the modern left, and so much more. Thaddeus always brings a very intellectually unique perspective to the table, and I think you'll really enjoy this episode.

Ep. 114: The Authoritarian Religion of Woke Progressivism, with Dr. Michael Rectenwald
My guest this week is author and former professor, Dr. Michael Rectenwald. Dr. Rectenwald is here to discuss the themes of his latest book, "Beyond Woke". He has a wild story in that he is a former Marxist who saw the light, walked away from the progressive left, and is now a paleo-libertarian. We discuss the origins of Woke culture and its religious foundations. We also get into how to fix the university system (or not) and the endgame that the Woke Left strive for. (Hint: It's getting rid of you and your beliefs.) We also get into the problems with the Libertarian Party kowtowing to a group like BLM.

Ep. 110b: Private Protection Companies, with Commander Dale Brown
My guest on this bonus episode is founder of the Detroit Threat Management Center, Commander Dale Brown. Dale and I discuss the mission of his company and all of the services that they offer, including entire neighborhood protection. With defunding the government police being a hot news item, I wanted to look at other models of protection and Dale's organization is truly impressive. Dale believes his company is modeled to work with a local police force but one that is a different variation of many that we see now. Dale also explains his thoughts on the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and his ideas on the issues behind much of the violent police encounters throughout the country.

Ep. 108: No Masks Allowed Here!: Live From the Liberty Tree Tavern
This week, we recorded LIVE from the Liberty Tree Tavern in Elgin, TX! I am joined by two co-hosts this week, Bobby Pearson of the Not For Everyone Podcast and Moral Bob of the Conversations About Freedom Podcast. We are at the Liberty Tree Tavern because I wanted to have the owner of the bar, Kevin Smith, on the show. Kevin instituted a "no masks allowed" policy at the Liberty Tree Tavern around two weeks ago when people were still freaked out about dying from COVID-19. As you can imagine, the mob came after him. He received threats, doxing, and all of the usual scare tactics the fundamentalist left likes to use. He also gained a lot of support from locals and people from all over coming into his bar and wanting to tip big and give him their business. Kevin shares stories from his days with Alex Jones and the Ron Paul Revolution days as well. Also, just to add to the environment of a live, on-scene recording, there are two scuffles that break out WHILE we are recording the podcast. We also do a Q&A session at the end.

Ep. 107: Police States and Lockdowns: The Government War On Americans, with John Whitehead
My guest this week is author and founder of the Rutherford Institute, John Whitehead. John and I discuss the growing authoritarian Police State in America. From lockdowns to murders by cops to the growing technocratic state with contract tracing and further violations of the fourth amendment, more than any other time in history, our civil liberties are under threat. Unfortunately, the younger generation has been groomed to accept things like this through government schooling and agenda-driven mainstream media. John gives some very helpful suggestions on how to wake people up and fight this system moving forward.

Ep. 106b: Fighting the Fundamentalist Left, with Feminist Megan Murphy
On this bonus episode, not only do I have a great guest in Megan Murphy, but I have a co-host in Bobby Pearson! Meghan Murphy is back on the show to discuss how elements of the left will not stand for her pure version of being a feminist. Meghan is very well known in the feminist movement, having started Feminist Current in 2012, Canada's leading feminist website. She now speaks to large crowds and is often protested by people within the trans community who try to shout her down for standing her ground and speaking up for women and free speech. I wanted to have her back on for a casual chat and to catch up on her latest projects such as her YouTube show, "The Same Drugs". My friend, fellow AnCap, and host of the "Not For Everyone" podcast, Bobby Pearson, is my co-host, and we wanted to just have a fun, casual chat with Meghan, and that's what this is.

Ep. 106: The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels, with Alex Epstein
My guest this week is Alex Epstein, author of the book, "The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels". Alex is here to do exactly what it sounds like: make the moral case for fossil fuels. Alex brings a refreshing perspective to the topics of global warming, CO2, energy, and so on, in that he uses human life as the standard of value. Alex brings overwhelming evidence that mankind's use of fossil fuels is supremely virtuous because using fossil fuels transforms our environment to make it wonderful for human life. The Green Movement puts human life way behind "untouched nature", and in more cases than not, they will be quite honest about the low value they place on human life. I think you'll enjoy this wonderful red-pilling perspective on this topic. To learn more about Alex and his think-tank, visit: Join the Libertarian Party through my link!

Ep. 105: Taking the Red Pill, with Tho Bishop
My guest this week is Mises Wire assistant editor, Tho Bishop. Tho is here to talk with me about the "red pill" and what it means to have taken it. There have been many moments in the last several decades where people have had their eyes opened ("taken the red pill") and realized that media, politicians, universities, and other State institutions were lying to them to further a separate agenda: Waco, Vietnam, Iraq, the 2008 crash, the fake Russia scandal, and the list goes on and on. We discuss some of these moments in history that have red-pilled people. We also talk populism, libertarianism, Trump, Justin Amash, Mises, Rothbard, Hoppe, and more.

Ep. 104: A Society That Imagines a New Fear Every Day, with Peter Van Buren
My guest this week is the great writer, Peter Van Buren. He is here to give his humorous take and brilliant insights on the insane moment that we are living through right now. Many on the left have been paralyzed by a fear of leaving the house, and they're pushing their religion of Statism and Fear on the rest of us. They have become like rescue dogs, constantly imagining new fears and odd things to freak out about. Apparently, the same people that have promised Trump is a Russian spy, we have to take out Assad, Trump will cause a depression after he takes office, Robert Mueller will change everything, and so on and so on are now telling us that locking down an economy and not allowing people to work is the only way to save humanity. They're also telling us that now, believing "all women" isn't a priority like it was during the Kavanaugh hearings. Can you believe these people? Do their loud monotonous voices drive you crazy?

Ep. 103: This Bust Wasn't Caused by a Virus, with Mark Thornton
My guest this week is Mises Institute Senior Fellow and Austrian Economist, Dr Mark Thornton. Mark discusses the economic downturn we are currently in, and it's one that he and many other Austrian economists predicted. It wasn't caused by the coronavirus, although the virus may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The symptoms of this bust have been in place much longer than the symptoms of the coronavirus. The fundamentals were weak, and the Federal Reserve, as usual, is the problem, not the cure. Dr. Thornton details what went wrong, what will make it worse, the systemic damage that the shutdown is causing, and the long term effects of this all. He also discusses what would help things and what we should've done from the start. Read Mark's article here: Find more of Mark's writings and books here: Join the Libertarian Party through my link!

Ep. 102: An "America First" U.S. Military is Now a Must, with Doug Bandow
My guest today is Cato Institute Senior Fellow, Doug Bandow. Doug wrote a recent article called, "Now's the Time to Become a Truly 'America First' Military". This coronavirus mess has not only caused an economic shut down and disaster, but congress has voted to spend trillions of dollars to help "fix" things. We now know that drastic changes at the federal level will be necessary. There is simply not enough money for grandiose ideas at that level, so it's now time to end the wars and start pulling the troops home... from everywhere. We couldn't afford the global military adventures before. We certainly can't afford them now. So it is time to do what people like Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan have been saying for years: bring the troops home and defend the United States from home.

Ep. 101: Truths About Coronavirus, with Michael Cheney
My guest today is entrepreneur and podcaster Michael Cheney. He has put together a fact-filled eBook detailing many important aspects of the coronavirus. As he puts it: "This is not about conjecture – this is about facts and gathering available data in a way which clarifies what we are being told, how much of that is true, and what we are not being told..." Michael put a lot of research into this book, and I ask him about all of it in this interview. From the death rate statistics, to the issues in Italy, to the government overreach in order to "flatten the curve". Why are the methods to help fix this mess so heavily politicized? We hit on all of these issues in this episode.

For my 100th episode, I welcome Mises Institute President, Jeff Deist, back to the show. Jeff brings his unique and principled perspective on ways to deal with this Coronavirus moment. We discuss the value of decentralized methods of dealing with many of the issues involved in not only this crisis, but any crisis. Top down, one-size-fits-all solutions do not work in a country of 350 million people. We talk about liberty, the need for civil disobedience, and the necessary break up of a country that is far too politicized in far too many aspects of society. Jeff also discusses some ways that individual states can deal with this current crisis. I know you'll enjoy his perspective on things.

I am stoked to bring you this bonus episode with none other than The Reverend Horton Heat, Jim Heath! We get into music and politics and everything in between. Considered by many to be the Godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly, Jim has been playing music for decades. Now, due to this COVID-19 craziness, he has been forced to cancel all of his gigs. Initially, he was willing to keep playing for his crew and bandmates, but when he announced that, he received a lot of personal attacks from the online mob.

My guest today is the great Scott Horton. I brought Scott on to discuss how this COVID-19 pandemic and the costs surrounding it will affect foreign policy. Fighting multiple wars overseas was already unaffordable. Now, there is no longer any reasonable doubt that we can't afford the troop deployment any longer. We also get into how Trump has handled things so far with this COVID-19 craziness, and then Scott goes on a wonderful tangent about the failures of government at every level and how a more libertarian government would have been better every step of the way.

Ep. 98b: How COVID-19 is Impacting Musicians, with Dale Watson & Big Sandy
On this special bonus episode, I bring you two of my favorite singers whom I've also had the pleasure of calling friends for a long time, Dale Watson and Big Sandy. They are both well known touring musicians who front their respective bands. I wanted to have them on to discuss how this coronavirus craziness has affected them as musicians. I want to attack this story from several angles, so I figured, why not reach out to some friends who depend on live audiences for their main income? Dale Watson and Big Sandy have been entertaining crowds worldwide since the 1980s, and much like you and me, they've never experienced a moment like this.

Michael lives in Scotland and has great insight into the healthcare system in the UK, how they're handling (or not handling) the increased demand right now, the strict guns laws, the strict "shelter in place" rules, and much more.

Well, this is certainly the most bizarre time of my entire life and probably yours as well. The Coronavirus and all of the things it is affecting, well, it's like nothing I've ever seen. One thing of which we can be certain is that things have changed and things will remain changed forever after this. My guest today is James Howard Kunstler, and we talk about what has and what will change and what it might look like on the other side of this mess.

Ep. 96: Neoconservatism, with Srdja Trifkovic
Author, journalist, editor, professor, and former broadcaster, Srdja Trifkovic joins me this week to discuss Neoconservatism. The "neocons" as they're called, have had a heavy hand in promoting disastrous foreign policy decisions over the decades, most notably the Iraq wars. Every policy they favor seems to turn out badly, yet their influence is still there. Where and how did they originate? Why are they called "conservative" when they're really anything but? Are we seeing their last attempts at relevancy as they further promote contentious relations with Russia? Srdja Trifkovic has been studying them and writing against their policies for years, and his knowledge of their movement is very helpful as he gives us the dirty details of the Neoconservative movement.

My guest this week is Dr. Patrick Newman, and he is here to discuss the infamous Progressive Era with me. Many people still view the era from 1890-1920 as an era of giant leaps forward for the US: for business, for workers, and for government. As with many aspects of establishment orthodoxy, that couldn't be more wrong. Regulation and crony capitalism have led to many horrific outcomes that we still deal with today. Find out the real history of what should actually be called the Regressive Era, here on Episode 94.

Ep. 92: Promoting Unfettered Free Speech, with Peter Van Buren
My guest today is journalist and author Peter Van Buren. Peter has fought hard for the principle of free speech. Peter worked for the State Department for 24 years, including a stint in Iraq. When his book, "We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People", was released, the US Government came after him, claiming that he published classified material. Peter also wrote articles for the left-leaning publication, "The Nation", until they weren't happy that he was writing articles promoting free speech, and they stopped accepting his articles. However, The American Conservative does still appreciate his stance on unfettered free speech. This is a microcosm of a cultural shift, in general. The modern left has vocally come out against free speech and the modern right has embraced it. We get into this topic along with discussing Peter's excellent work on the Russiagate saga. Peter is one of the best journalists out there, and I know you'll enjoy this interview. Visit Peter's website: Find Peter's TAC articles here: Join the Libertarian Party through my link!

My guest this week is F.H. Buckley, author of the new book "". We discuss his book and get into many of the angles of the idea of secession here in the United States.

Ep. 85: John Baeza on Being a Libertarian Cop and Ron Paul's Bodyguard
My guest this week is John Baeza, and we discuss the three years he attempted to be a "libertarian cop". John is a retired member of the NYPD, where he was a detective who was assigned to the Manhattan Special Victims Squad. There he investigated and reviewed approximately 1,000 cases of rape, serial rape, sexual homicide, felony sexual assault, and child abuse cases. During his tenure there, he started realizing the pain and suffering caused by the war on drugs. He was reading libertarian books, and after that, there was no turning back for him. John became a libertarian. After his career with NYPD was over with, he became a Deputy down in Florida where he made a promise to himself: from that point on, he would be a libertarian cop. In this episode we talk about how that went for him and how it ended. John was also the head of security for the Ron Paul campaign! I, of course, had to ask him all about that as well.

My guest today is Philip Girladi, and we discuss all things "Deep State". We now know that former CIA Director, John Brennan, formed a "CIA Trump Task Force" with several other nefarious deep state figures in order to tie Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. This turned out to be fruitless, yet a lot of damage was still done. Why did these deep state figures want to derail Trump's presidential aspirations? Why are they always on the side of more war and more foreign intervention? My guest today knows those answers and more, as he is an ex-CIA officer and comes at this with a wealth of information.

My guest this week is the great Lew Rockwell. Lew is the founder and chairman of the Mises Institute, as well as the creator of the great news site, LewRockwell.com. We discuss a variety of topics including Lew's new book, "Against The Left: A Rothbardian Libertarianism". Lew is a great representative of the hardcore Rothbardian brand of libertarianism, and we apply it to immigration, egalitarianism, and the dangers posed by the left, including the so-called "left libertarians". Lew also talks about coalitions that libertarians should strive to forge in the current climate. He was kind enough to email a list of the Mises and Rothbard books that he recommends. Here are the links to those books: Mises: - "Planning for Freedom" - - "The Causes of the Economic Crisis" - - "Liberalism" - - "Liberty and Property" - - "The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality" - Rothbard: - "What Has Government Done to Our Money" - - "Anatomy of the State" - - "The Case Against the Fed" - - "For a New Liberty" - - "Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature" - You can get all of Lew's books (along with his brand new one!) here: Visit Visit Visit me here: Follow me on Twitter here: You can donate to the show here:

Ep. 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?

The 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.

Tulsi 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.

The 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.

The 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.

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?

The 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?

Multiculturalism 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.

The 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.

The 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?

The 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.

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.

The 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.

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.

Libertarian 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. Visit Jacob here: and here: Visit us here: and follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

The 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.

The 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. Follow my guest at and on Twitter @TFL1728 Follow ME on twitter @buckrebel Give us a "like" at

CNN Loves Antifa and MSNBC Loves the CIA.
Antifa recently engaged in more property destruction and violence at the "Unite The Right 2" rally in DC. Rather than report on this and condemn it, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo defended the violent tactics of Antifa. Communism is responsible for over 100 million deaths and yet Chris Cuomo defends the group that calls for more state sponsored violence and death. Also, the CIA has infiltrated MSNBC and Trump calls their bluff.

Secession Is Popular
The idea of decentralization and/or secession is an idea that our country was founded on. Now, in 2018, 39% of the country believes in the idea. We are probably headed for some sort of breakup in the next decade or so. States like California, Texas and New Hampshire have all had ballot referendums on it already. As things become more polarized and technology moves us even further away from needing a one size fits all Washington DC master, the idea may become even more popular. This week I breakdown a recent survey that shows the popularity of the idea of secession. Give us a "like" at Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Share the show!

Free Speech Is Always Under Attack
They NY Times recently published a story on conservatives now "weaponizing" free speech. The claim is that progressives need to be skeptical of free speech absolutism.
