Chase and Mike discuss current events with a libertarian, free market, perspective. We'll get into anarchy, peaceful parenting, free markets and on occasion, some conspiracy theories.
Chase and Mike are joined by Mike's friend Xavier to talk about how the mainstream media just parrots whatever the government says, and what impact Adam Kokesh's recent arrest has for the liberty movement. Here is a link to Adam Kokesh's 4th of July video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sAGGoPidEY

Chase and Mike discuss Adam Kokesh's plan to lead an civil disobedience march on Washington D.C, this July 4th. The demonstrators plan on carrying armed rifles into D.C. to protest the immoral gun laws, and to send a message that destroying the Second Amendment will not be tolerated.

Being libertarian is difficult. People always think we're crazy, especially when we talk about how the government is immoral. They laugh at us when we display an open distrust for the mainstream media and for politicians. Whenever we talk about the FED or Bilderberg, they tell us to put our tinfoil hats on and they dismiss as as crazy conspiracy theorists. Are we crazy? Is there something wrong with us?

Mike interviews a prosecuting attorney about the legal issues surrounding the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing. The government has not given the suspect his Maranda rights, and is now debating weather or not to consider this guy as an enemy combatant, completely skipping his due process as an American citizen. The guys discuss these issues, and many more. This is a conspiracy theory free episode.
Chase's friend Mark joins us to talk about the different anarchist groups, such as anarcho-communists. The crew talks about bringing those groups together, and forming communes with like minded people.
On this episode, Chase and Mike are joined by Antigone Darling of Sex, Lies, and Anarchy podcast to discuss sexism, racism, jailbait, childhood, and why people get offended by silly comments.

Chase and Mike sit down with Dr. Walter Block, professor of economics at Loyola University in New Orleans. Walter talks about the myth of the market failure, and discusses how the free market does a much better job of dealing with environmental problems than the state does. You can check out Dr. Block's work at www.walterblock.com or at www.mises.org Here is the article by Murray Rothbard which Dr. Block refers to: http://archive.mises.org/4939/law-property-rights-and-air-pollution-by-murray-rothbard/ Buy his books, including "Defending the Undefendable" one of the first libertarian books I ever read.
