Minnesota was liberal to begin with: It has the distinction of “voting blue, no matter who” since Jimmy Carter led the Democratic ticket, joining only the District of Columbia in refusing to give its electoral votes to President Ronald Reagan in 1984. For a while, the Hubert Humphrey model of Big Government, strong labor unions, and a business community that operated with a “social conscience” worked well. But in recent years, the social model of Scandinavian exiles has broken down, just its big brother did in Scandinavia itself. Joining us to discuss how Minnesota's social model has collapsed as “some of the state's leading politicians and sectarian interests” have come to “understand government not as a society's shared instrument to address its problems, but as a storehouse to pillage” is Armin Rosen, a journalist who wrote on the state's problems for Walter Kirn's newspaper-magazine County Highway.The Shame of Our Cities

In this episode of the Light Beer Dark Money podcast, Sean Noble and Chris Clements break down everything from Trump's Kennedy Center Honors shake-up to Minnesota's exploding COVID fraud scandal, the Candace Owens meltdown on the right, and the future of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem and Glenn Youngkin rumors. They kick things off with Christmas chaos at home, a fallen tree, bad backs and simple fitness that actually works in your “advanced years,” then pivot into how Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center Honors: firing the old board, bringing in Rick Grenell to clean up the grift, and personally helping pick honorees like Sylvester Stallone, KISS, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait and Michael Crawford. From there, they revisit the growing fraud scandal in Minnesota—what DOJ calls the largest COVID fraud scheme in the country—where estimates have ballooned from $1 billion to as much as $8 billion routed through nonprofits tied to the Somali community. Sean and Chris talk about how Governor Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar and other Democrats are trying to explain it away while Republicans say they've been warning about abuse of nonprofit networks and welfare money for years. Next up is the “right-wing war” after Charlie Kirk's assassination. They dig into Tucker Carlson on defense, Candace Owens going off the rails with wild conspiracies about Israel, pastors and Turning Point, Tim Pool's profane rant, Marjorie Taylor Greene bailing out of Congress, and how “clicks and coin” are distorting conservative media, grift culture, and what it means to actually serve the public. In the final act, Sean and Chris break down Kristi Noem's shaky tenure at Homeland Security, the chatter that Glenn Youngkin could replace her, and why DHS has become a post-9/11 Big Government monster. They close by reacting to Glenn Beck's AI “George Washington” video on moral decline, OnlyFans and American culture, and why faith, family, freedom, free enterprise and personal virtue still matter if we want to save Western civilization.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Vitamins vs. Technocracy: Lessons from MK-7

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
