Libertarian Crusaders

Blake joins the Libertarian Crusaders in reviewing the highlights of the year 2020 we'll never forget. What are some lessons learned? What can we look forward to?

One week after the elections the future of America is still uncertain. Sitting down with David Friedman we discuss what happens next. What does a Biden/Harris presidency look like? If fraud was committed and Trump wins what's in store next? Is there cause to be concerned either way?

What is the West? And why do many in the world flee towards it? We discuss why the West is the Best and delve further into these questions with Rik Storey, author of "The Uniqueness of Western Law" to discover why our great civilization is worth saving.

We sit down with the Great Phil Kennedy, John’s older brother, to discuss financial topics like Cryptocurrency, gold and silver, the Fed, debt, and personal finance. Wondering how to get ahead financially? We have answers in this episode.

The Libertarian Crusaders talk with Matt from The Statist Quo podcast about the “begaloo” Richmond Lobby Day rally, drug testing, and “other than honorable” discharges.

The Libertarian Crusaders sit down with Virginian organic farmer, Joel Salatin, to discuss how he was first introduced to organic farming, being a libertarian in a world of hippies, regulations on types of meat (and summer sausage), and the art of food rebellion!

The Libertarian Crusaders interview Michael Tozoni about life in the Soviet Union in the 1980's. Michael discusses his escape from Kiev following the Chernobyl accident, and the details of how Marxism really works in everyday life.

Dan “Taxation is Theft” Behrman spells out all of the ways government lies to us about taxes. We also cover his techniques for communicating with Democrats, and of course, his epic yellow hat.

We sit down with Lyn Ulbricht to discuss her courageous fight to free her son, Ross Ulbricht, from the wrongfully imprisonment of the victimless crime of creating the e-commerce website, the Silk Road. We talk about motherhood, sacrifice, and how you can help Ross in this episode.

Brian Robbins is the founder of Virginia Militia, a decentralized network to aid Virginians in banding together at arms. We discuss what militias are and why they're most needed today. With the rise of 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries across the state momentum needs to keep pushing forward to establish well regulated militias all over against those who seek to vote away your right to defend yourself.

Bill Ottman is the CEO of Minds, the alternative social networking site of the future that’s geared towards free speech and giving you back control of your digital information. We talk about how governments subverts social media, the importance of decentralized networks, and the impact of Trump getting rid of Section 203.

In this interview, we sit down with Joe Paschal, the Vice-Chair of the Libertarian Party of Virginia. We talk gun rights in Virginia, the future of homeschooling, construction safety vs the dreaded OSHA, unions, and more!

Kal and John discuss strength training with Greg Papanicolas, including at-home workouts during Covid-19. We also cover common fitness and nutrition questions. Check him out at ProjectSpartaCoaching.com

In this episode, we discuss Christianity and libertarianism with our friend Justin Walsh. Does Romans 13 require us to support government, per se? Does “render unto Caesar” mean we must pay taxes? What did the popes say about socialism? Kal, John, and Justin set the record straight.

We virtually sit down with Rachel to discuss the real meat of the Tiger King story. Who is lying about murder, and why is it Carole Baskin? Will Joe Exotic ever financially recover from this? We provide hard-hitting coverage.

How would a libertarian deal with the Coronavirus? Is government the best solution for this problem? Will Jacob come shooting with us sometime? These questions and more get answered by the great Jacob Hornbeger. We also discuss ongoing issues in Virginia, including Gov. Ralph Northam's sudden dictatorial powers!

We discuss the coronavirus and all of its implications, including government attempts to quarantine, shut down religious services, and distribute test kits. What is really going on? How can you prepare for pandemics? We cover it all.

We discuss all aspects of the issue of abortion in this episode. Titus Folks covers SFL’s mission to address high abortion rates on college campuses, as well as to address the political discussions surrounding abortion.

Vincent, Kal, Kurt and John discuss our glorious invasion of the Bloomberg rally at Hardywood Craft Brewery. Two free beers, puffer coats, boomers: it's all in here!

Members of the Ron Paul Militia get together to discuss the aftermath of the Gun Rally. Was it a success? What will come of it? And what does the future hold for Virginia now that we showed that freedom-loving patriots from all over the country will come to our aid to form a 50k+ armed contingent?

Is it extremist to advocate for the right to carry firearms to protect yourself and others? Could the sheriff or others arrest Northam? What will the March on the Virginia State Capitol look like on the 20th? Whatever happens, Virginia is the battleground for American gun rights. Sic semper tyrannis!

How will the boogaloo kick off? We cover the latest gun control effort in Virginia by Bloomberg's toadies, and the response from gun rights activists. We also discuss civil disobedience strategies, as well as overseas interventions!

We talk to Sam Matherly about her story of discovering gentle parenting, Bible verses on parenting, and how all of this relates to libertarianism. This was Kurt’s wife’s favorite episode so far!

“M4” joins us to discuss a disastrous violation of his rights in Virginia, as well as the refreshing outcome. Strategies for battling road pirates in court are also discussed!

We discuss how far to roll down your window when stopped by the police. And is asking “Am I being detained?” a good thing to say? This and more, with attorney, Paul Kunberger.

Keith Preston of AttacktheSystem.com joins us to discuss the various schools of anarchist thought, his far-Left beginnings, and the practical realities of pan-secessionism.

Great countries have small beginnings. And America is no different from when it was created by Dutch and English settlers. But it was one settlement in 1607 that would forever change history through punishing trials that would lead to the enshrinement of property rights into its foundations — Jamestown, Virginia. How did those colonists survive? What lessons did they learn? What can we still glean from them today to make the torch of liberty burn brighter? Local historian, Richard Cheatham joins us to discuss lessons learned from Jamestown's attempts at communal property.

How exactly did society fail Arthur Fleck aka the Joker? Was he a byproduct of ruthless bullying, bad parenting, or a victim of 50s & 60's government policies meddling in mental institutions that led to the release of psychos to run amock in our communities? Or is it all in Arthur's head, still curled up in that refrigerator?

What can the Libertarian Party do to limit the growth of the State? We discuss Mark Lewis' campaign for the Virginia state senate. We also get into libertarian theory, and his libertarian influences.

How dare you not be convinced by Greta and her watermelon handlers? Do you deny decades of failed eco-pocalyptic predictions? Were you not swayed by Al Gore's PowerPoint prowess? Are you not ready to resort to Swedish science-approved cannibalism to save the world? Or is Sweden just the Florida of Europe?

Vaping is not only dangerous, but it also kills, or so says the FDA and their unholy alliance with big tobacco. Are Subaru owners and hipsters really the only victims of this regulation? What is the real story? Does it give cool points or take away health bars? Is there something more sinister at work?

Where were you on 9/11? 18 years have passed since Muslim terrorists attacked America, taking nearly 3,000 lives with them. But what about our response? Were they justified? How many freedoms have we lost or gained since? And is it time to finally come home?

What's wrong with price gouging? Does capitalism require government? Is culture important towards a free society? Who would protect us without a state? And everyone's favorite question: What about the roads? And more!

We are at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity conference in Dulles, VA. We discuss what is happening in the libertarian wing of the Libertarian Party with Michael Heise. We also talk to Philip Dassing about he got onto the Punk Rock Libertarians podcast. And of course, we wax nostalgic about Ron Paul’s 2008/2012 campaigns, and continuing his legacy today.

David Koch recently passed away, and immediately his legacy has been demonized by the leftist media despite being staunchly anti-war. But what was his real legacy? How did he affect libertarianism? Much less the world through his philanthropy? And if there were no quarrel with Murray Rothbard, would there have been a Mises Institute?

Jeffrey Epstein was recently found dead in his highly guarded cell under government watch. An apparent "suicide" they claim. If the federal government can't protect you with guns even under their watch what makes you think they can protect you with tighter gun regulations?

What’s going on with Baltimore? With over half a century under Democrat control, why hasn’t it been transformed into a liberal paradise? Why are their schools still failing? Why are there so homicides to the point one could theoretically apply for asylum to escape the rat kingdom? Most importantly, why hasn’t Punk Rock Libertarians cleaned up their city yet?

Over the weekend we did an open carry freedom walk in Richmond with fellow Virginian, Brandon Howard from The Right to Bear Arms organization. A gun is a sign of power and freedom. So what exactly are the gun laws in Virginia? And why is the right to bear arms so important that it’s the only amendment with an added description “shall not be infringed”?

Hundreds of thousands of Kyles, Karens, and Susans from the parish council are descending upon Area 51 to release alien prisoners and technology. Can they do it? What’s an efficient battle plan? Also, Democrat Senator Claire Cesi from Iowa naturally threatens gun rights on her now protected tweets. And what does Trump know about Bitcoin?

Americans celebrated the Declaration of Independence from tyranny last week, but do we share the same grievances as they enumerated on that document? Are we overtaxed? Are the police heavily militarized and invasive in our lives? Do we have just cause to alter or abolish that government? Was the Revolutionary War worth it?

We cover the Democratic primary debates, seeing who can give away the most free stuff at your expense. Also, why do Democrats want to give away free health care now, when they were just fine with penalty-taxing Americans for not having it under Obamacare? And if they're going to cancel student loan debts, then why not also cancel mortgage loan debts for the non-college goers? Who do you think is going to win the nomination and face off Trump?

Covering news, events, and pop culture while crusading for libertarian values.
