Podcasts about Big government

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano uncovers the remarkable and little-known story of Luther Martin, the fiery Anti-Federalist who fiercely opposed the rise of big government and warned that centralized power would one day overwhelm the states and the people. From his blistering four-hour speech at the Constitutional Convention to his battle for a Bill of Rights and his dramatic defense of Aaron Burr, Martin's forgotten fight for limited government reads like a prophecy for America today. This gripping narrative reveals why his warnings matter more than ever and how his dissent shaped the very foundations of our Republic. Episode Highlights The Four-Hour Speech That Changed Everything: How Luther Martin confronted Madison, Hamilton, and the Virginia Plan and forced the Great Compromise. A Forgotten Warning Come True: Martin's predictions about centralized power, federal overreach, and the administrative state that mirror America's challenges today. The Bulldog of Liberty: From the Constitutional Convention to the Aaron Burr treason trial, the dramatic story of a patriot who refused to be silenced.

On this episode of Power and Market, Ryan, Connor, and Tho discuss military escalation with Venezuela, more troubling jobs data, and how college football offers an example of how financialization, politicalization, and bad economy theory can undermine great American traditions.Don't miss your chance to get a copy of Ryan McMaken's The Fight For Liberty: Past, Present, and Future during our year-end fundraising campaign.

This week on The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau challenge two global orthodoxies: Europe's cynical strategy in the Ukraine war and the alleged freedom of the cryptocurrency world. Are European leaders actively frustrating any Ukraine peace plan to buy time for re-armament? And did last week's crypto winter confirm that the digital currency universe has been taken over by an unholy alliance of Big Government and Big Finance that will guarantee future global financial chaos? Prepare to see the world's strategic priorities—from Kyiv to Bitcoin—in a new and alarming light.The Econoclasts is the podcast from UnHerd in which Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau each week pick pillars of the economic orthodoxy – so-called ‘settled facts' – and shatter them. Why? Because, while they don't always agree politically, they're united in one conviction: the consensus is rotten and the establishment's model is failing. Hosted on Acast.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 135 Government can do many things in the world, but one thing it cannot do is produce abundance and prosperity. Why not? Its incentives are all wrong, and over time they tend to get worse. In this probing episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the intrinsic issues with government when it comes to creating abundance and prosperity, explaining why these are the product of a "problem-solving theory of value" that government is poorly incentivized to work with. Join him for the insights on why expanding the influence of government over the economy will not produce an economy more capable of producing abundance or prosperity (solving problems real people have).

In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano tells the riveting story of Pelatiah Webster, the clergyman-turned-economist, who saw America's future more clearly than anyone of his time. As the young republic teetered on collapse in 1781, Webster's bold vision for limited government, sound money, and individual enterprise laid the groundwork for the U.S. Constitution and the free-market system that built the nation. His warnings about inflation, dependency, and centralized control echo today as socialism and big-government promises sweep through modern politics.   Episode Highlights How Pelatiah Webster's 1781 blueprint inspired Madison and Hamilton and helped shape the U.S. Constitution. Why Webster's fight against debt, inflation, and dependency remains a direct warning to today's socialist and big-government movements. What Webster taught about freedom and property rights and why capitalism, not government control and socialism, is the true guardian of liberty.

Steve welcomes J.T. Young, author of “Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America's Socialist Left” and a veteran of over three decades in Congress, the Treasury Department, OMB, and corporate leadership, to discuss the growing influence of the socialist left in America. They explore how Democrats fear losing their municipal monopolies and how political operatives like Jay Jones prove the lengths the party will go to retain power, often excusing actions that would never be tolerated from others. Young breaks down the mechanics of big government overreach and the consequences for everyday Americans.

Please join us for a cocktail reception and conversation in NYC this fall. We are pleased to have New York Post columnist and author Rikki Schlott in conversation with Cato vice president for general economics and Stiefel Trade Policy Center Scott Lincicome as our featured speakers.Rikki and Scott will examine New York City's mayoral race as a microcosm of a troubling trend: Gen Z's embrace of socialist policies that purportedly fix real economic problems many Americans are facing today. Using candidate Zohran Mamdani's surprising victory as an example, they'll explore how economic pressures and uncertainty are driving many voters toward progressive solutions like industrial policy and rent control, even though free market approaches, including zoning reform and deregulation, offer better, proven pathways to genuine, broad-based prosperity. Why are government-centered policies gaining traction when market-based solutions have historically delivered economic growth, lower prices, and higher living standards?As we approach Cato's 50th anniversary in 2027, our mission is clear: to keep liberty at the forefront of national debates and ensure a freer future for generations to come. To meet this challenge, in May, Cato publicly launched the Vision for Liberty Campaign—a bold initiative to expand our impact and accelerate the spread of the ideas that drive human flourishing. Cato president and CEO Peter Goettler will discuss Cato's policy priorities, as well as how we are developing new audiences and scaling our educational programs. Hosted on Acast.

https://fb.nativepath.com/rd/r.php?sid=1947&pub=240725&c1=pasreportcoll070125&c2=&c3=bannersIn this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano takes aim at the absurdity of the so-called “No Kings” protest, where activists chant about tyranny while embracing a government that controls nearly every aspect of life. Professor Giordano then breaks down the government shutdown and exposes how Democrats' refusal to support a clean funding resolution is driven by their obsession with power and the big government apparatus. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the far left are holding the country hostage to protect the failed Obamacare system and keep COVID-era subsidies that have fueled premium spikes, eliminated competition, and increased dependency. He explains how Obamacare is one of the most costly policy failures in American history, and how big government continues to punish working Americans while rewarding bureaucrats and special interests. Episode Highlights: The hypocrisy of the No Kings protests as activists rail against tyranny while demanding more government control over every part of American life. Democrats are blocking a clean funding resolution to protect Obamacare subsidies and weaponize the shutdown for political leverage as the Schumer Shutdown continues. The Obamacare Collapse, premiums are skyrocketing, illegal immigrants exploit loopholes, and the only thing keeping the system alive is endless taxpayer money.

Set in the harsh, windswept beauty of Newberry Springs, California in 1964, Mrs. Orcutt's Driveway tells the remarkable true story of an independent, retired woman living alone with her goats, tortoises, and a homemade lake—on a quiet, forgotten stretch of Route 66. But when the state tried to force her off her land in the name of "progress," she dug in her heels—and made national headlines.She tenaciously defied government plans to isolate her desert home by fighting for a four-mile road connecting her property to Route 66. Her story is one of fierce resilience and independence, showing how a determined woman stood up to bureaucracy and secured her place in history. More than just a fight for access, Mrs. Orcutt's Driveway symbolizes the power of persistence and a woman's right to be heard.When state bulldozers came to carve a highway through her Mojave property, Margaret “Bonnie” Orcutt refused to budge. She was not just defending her land—she was taking a stand against the full weight of government authority, and her fight reached all the way to the White House.My guest is the author of "Mrs. Orcutt's Driveway: A Legendary Road - An Unstoppable Woman" https://mrsorcuttsdriveway.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

On the latest episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton uses vitamin K2 (MK-7) as a case study in how technocracy goes wrong, elevating cutting-edge findings and bureaucracy over experience, incentives, and real-world diets. Mark explains why K2 is linked in emerging research to bone health, arterial calcification, and even neurodegenerative conditions, and highlights a paradox: many food sources rich in K2 (beef, eggs, butter, chicken liver, European cheeses, salami) are officially discouraged, while “approved” sources (natto, kefir, sauerkraut) are niche. The takeaway isn't medical advice, it's a critique of a compliance-driven health regime that sidelines decentralized knowledge and choice.Be sure to follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues

Real-eyes you are waking up from your traumatic past to a world of deliberately socially engineered ignorance. It is up to you, and within you, to heal yourself.We have all been blessed with resiliency of body mind and spirit. Our brains have been made perfect, so why do we only use 10% as we are taught?Because we have been taught wrong! Deliberately. When Project Paperclip imported Nazi and Fascist scientists into the US in the wake of WWII, with them came the formula for mind control in order to perpetuate what Hitler, Bush, Biden, and self appointed self anointed global leaders term New World Order. A compliant society was needed, and mind control became the invisible menace for implementing it.Since knowledge is our defense against mind control, birthright information on mind brain function was immediately suppressed under the 1947 National Security Act. Mark Phillips found this birthright information while working the highest levels of intelligence mind sciences to preserve the sanctity of free thought.  He was appalled to see knowledge that is our defense against mind control, along with innate capabilities for healing from physical and mental trauma, had been withheld for generations from education, mental health, and medical communities and ultimately society as a whole. Mark was bound by laws of sedition, as were many others in positions of intelligence who shared his outrage at the sanctioned usurping of human evolution.  When Mark lifted my daughter and me out of the Washington DC swamp of MK Ultra human trafficking, he handed me keys to my own mind. Since this is birthright information buried within us all, these methods are easy to self apply and result in abSOULute healing.Mark did not deprogram me. He empowered me to deprogram myself. In turn, I am sharing this information to all who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and soul to know truth. Since I am not bound by laws of sedition, and it was my experience to heal, you, too, can be empowered to heal from within your self free of misdirected, misinformed, intrusive outside input simply by quietly and privately applying PTSD: Time to Heal.Trauma activates our brain's defense mechanism of shutting down neuron pathways to compartmentalize and repress memory. Deep in the subconscious, trauma undermines our thinking process, intrudes on our present, and  even manifests in ill health, unless it is dealt with through conscious awareness. Trauma shuts down neuron pathways. Awareness opens neuron pathways. It is within you to reclaim self control and inner peace just as I did.Our brains were made perfect by divine design, complete with defense mechanisms and capacity to deactivate those mechanisms with awareness. Yet this birthright knowledge was censored for generations while humanity was conditioned to look outside themselves to Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Cult/occult religion to tell them how to live their lives. This gave control of life's purpose to a handful of self appointed self anointed  puppetmasters hellbent on implementing their global slave society agenda.With information on the resiliency of body mind and spirit withheld for generations, Drs forgot that the subconscious never sleeps, even during surgery. This simple key would empower assurance of full healing rather than undermine the recovery process through adverse discussions in the operating room. After generations removed from birthright resiliency, humanity forgot how perfect our bodies have been made. Instead, people bought into Big Pharma's illusion that babies need over 79 vaccines in their first year in order to survive.Read the full article on Cathy's website here!

The former WWE star and current mayor of Knox County explains how limiting government, protecting economic freedom, and trusting communities over bureaucrats can build a stronger foundation for liberty.

Just because a war is abroad—and between countries other than your own—doesn't mean it won't have impacts at home. In the USA, history shows that U.S. intervention in foreign wars increases federal intervention in our everyday lives; constant involvement in wars has led to much of the creeping expansion of our government over time. The whole world seems to be watching as Trump attempts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. We'll talk about why it's good for domestic freedom that Trump is resisting getting the U.S. directly into the war.On UNHINGED, Loudoun County schools are once again in the news—this time for suspending boys who complained about a girl in their locker room.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Biden Policies Aided a Terrorist Buck Sexton leads the hour with sharp commentary and analysis, emphasizing the growing strength of President Donald Trump in national polling across key issues like the economy, immigration, and border security. The segment highlights how recent CNN data reflects a significant shift in public sentiment favoring Trump, much to the dismay of Democrats and liberal media outlets. A major focus of the hour is the escalating crisis of antisemitism in America, particularly in the wake of a targeted firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado. Buck discusses the ideological roots of this violence, linking it to radical anti-Israel sentiment and the broader rise of pro-Hamas activism on college campuses. He critiques the left’s framing of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, arguing that it is often reduced to a simplistic racial narrative that vilifies Israel and excuses terrorism. Overwhelm the System A deep dive into a recent terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant who overstayed a visa. Buck uses this incident to underscore the broader crisis of illegal immigration and the exploitation of the U.S. asylum system. The conversation highlights how the Trump administration has dramatically reduced illegal border crossings—by as much as 99%—compared to the Biden era, which saw millions of illegal entries and “got aways.” Buck emphasizes the critical role of U.S. Border Patrol, debunking left-wing narratives that portray the agency as racist, and instead spotlighting its diverse and veteran-heavy workforce. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to the ideological battle over antisemitism, particularly on college campuses, where anti-Israel sentiment is rising. Buck draws parallels between the situation in Gaza and Iran, arguing that while innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire, leadership and ideological extremism are to blame for ongoing violence. The show also critiques the Biden administration’s handling of immigration enforcement, asserting that lax policies have created a national security risk and opened the door to terrorist infiltration. Former ICE Director Tom Homan is quoted warning of the long-term consequences of these policies, calling for urgent reforms and a temporary halt to asylum claims. Our Favorite Data Nerd, Ryan Girdusky Polling data reveals that the Republican Party, under President Trump, has closed the gap with Democrats on middle-class support and economic trust. The discussion includes insights from data guru Ryan Girdusky, host of the “Numbers Game” podcast, who argues that Democrats lack a compelling economic message and are losing ground due to internal disarray and weak leadership. Ryan discusses interviewing Alex Thompson about his book with Jake Tapper, which reveals Jill Biden’s influence and the financial motivations behind Joe Biden’s continued political career. Buck discusses the party’s lack of a clear successor and the growing influence of figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Elon Knows Gov't is a Mess Elon Musk's criticism of the congressional spending bill, the state of the economy and inflation, the national debt and entitlement programs. Elon Musk pointed out that Big Government was going to happen no matter what party is in office. DOGE limitations. WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with some positive economic news.
