Sitting high above the small community of Ripley, Ohio, a lantern shone in the front window of a small, red brick home at night. It was a signal to slaves just across the Ohio River. Anyone fleeing bondage could look to Reverend John Rankin’s home for hope. To the slaveholders they fled from, Rankin’s activities as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad invoked rage. Mobs often pelted Rankin with eggs and rocks, bounties were placed on his head, and midnight assassins lurked in the darkness, waiting for the right opportunity to take out the “Father of Abolitionism.” Despite frequent threats, he remained committed to the freedom of his fellow man.Today’s guest is Caleb Franz, author of The Conductor: The Story of Rev. John Rankin, Abolitionism's Essential Founding Father, we look at the story of the man who served as a George Washington–type figure to the antislavery movement. Rankin’s leadership brought unity and clarity to the often factious abolitionists of the nineteenth century. William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and countless others found inspiration in his teachings. He also presented abolitionism as a moderate movement, helping to make it palpable to Southern centrists who considered most abolitionists Yankee radicals who wanted to watch America descend into a Haitian-style race war.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Raskin to bring an end to the practice of slavery in America. With so much artificiality around us, is it any wonder that we struggle to know what's real? ⁠Walker Larson  explains how our culture of artificiality is is destroying objective reality⁠. Article of the Day: We hear the phrase "toxic masculinity" a lot these days.

Caleb Franz is the host of Profiles in Liberty and author of "The Conductor: The Story of Rev. John Rankin, Abolitionism's Essential Founding Father," and he joins us to discuss Rankin's Presbyterian upbringing in the South, his passionate opposition to slavery, and the influential letters he wrote to his brother, which sparked a broader public dissection of the institution of slavery. These writings, akin to 'The Federalist Papers' of abolitionism, played a crucial role in shaping the abolitionist movement, impacting figures like William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Franz also explores Rankin's challenges, including physical threats and societal opposition, underscoring his importance as a unifying figure whose efforts transcended abolitionism. The episode delves into Franz's book's origin and evolution, Rankin's legacy's impact, and the importance of acknowledging the contributions of figures lost to history.

Despite being the bourbon capital of the world, distilling the historic spirit in your own home is still illegal in Kentucky. Entrepreneurs looking to learn the craft in their home, or start a new hobby, will be shocked to learn the process can land you a felony. And yet the story of bourbon is one of small startups, home distillers and small operations. On today's Pegasus Podcast, Caleb Franz joins the show to talk with us about why Kentucky and America should embrace home distilling and how it can keep the spirit of Kentucky bourbon alive and well.

With Independence Day approaching, it's time to visit some of the lesser known stories behind the Declaration of Independence. Caleb Franz from the Profiles In Liberty podcast has the details. It's sad that so many people have bought into the fiction that it's right and proper for government to force others to do something against their better judgement. Kent McManigal nails it: Government crushes individuality. Learning history is more than learning about names, dates and events. Tuttle Twins creator Connor Boyack joins me to talk about the new Tuttle Twins American History book and how it teaches the ideas that shaped the world. If you don't yet know the tale of Cole Summers, it's one worth knowing. Hannah Frankman shares the story of the most remarkable unschooler, entrepreneur and prodigy who has left his mark on the world. It's no secret that Silicon Valley has become a de facto ministry of truth. So riddle me this, why is Twitter hiring an astonishing number of FBI agents right now? Some of us simply refuse to go along with what those in power refer to as "normalizing the new normal." Todd Hayen has some timely encouragement for anyone who has made peace with being an outlier. If you've had a sick feeling in your stomach as the Jan 6 committee has been laying the groundwork for a domestic war on terror, brace yourself. Revolver News has done the investigative journalism that confirms the dirty work underway. Social justice warriors are not born, they are groomed, recruited and radicalized. Robert Weissberg explains who is manufacturing social justice warriors on an industrial scale.

If you're not familiar with the Milgram experiment, now might be a good time to do so. Thomas Harrington says the experiment has been restaged, this time with millions of real victims. Say what you will about the older generations but at least we didn't get offended by pancake syrup. Michelle Malkin notes that even Goofus & Gallant from Highlights magazine have gone woke.

Ryan McMaken explains how we find ourselves at the mercy of highly paid, unelected government experts thanks to progressive policies. Getting that feeling of deja vu lately? Kit Knightly says monkeypox is following the covid playbook step by step. You gotta hand it to Congress, they can work very quickly when they're feeling motivated.

Were you raised to believe that, prior to 1970, women were ruthlessly oppressed in our society? Paul Rosenberg would like to set the record straight with a defense of 1950s housewives. As much as we'll appreciate the long Memorial Day weekend, this holiday deserves a bit of closer introspection. Caleb Franz of the Profiles in Liberty podcast joins me to provide some historical perspective. The Texas elementary school shootings have sparked predictable authoritarian responses from the political class. Here's a dissenting point of view from Michael Siegel on mass shootings, rampages and cascades of failure. The practices that guard human civilization are steadily being forgotten. Max Borders explains how politics is the pathology and morality is the cure in his new book The Decentralist: Mission, Morality and Meaning in the Age of Crypto. As much as I strive not to be dogmatic, there are few areas where I'm more firmly dug in than on the issue of the right to keep and bear arms. Brandon Smith says gun rights are more important than false security and appeasing leftists. Getting the right answers generally comes down to being able to ask the right questions. Douglas Young has 12 questions to consider regarding mass shootings. With the media spotlight having been taken off the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos, Switzerland, it's important that we don't lose sight of what's happening there. J.B. Shurk lays out the true evil of the WEF. Are you convinced that a white supremacist takeover is imminent in America?

Does this sound familiar?  The looming threat of war hovers over the United States like a vulture circling its prey. A deadly virus is running through the population, forcing many to avoid highly populated areas. Furthermore, the nation is reaching a level of political division so severe that it threatens the stability of the country. While you might think this is a description of the U.S. circa 2022, these were actually the circumstances that the nation found itself in at the beginning of the Adams administration.  This backdrop isn't all these two periods of history have in common, either. As Americans today are engaged in a great debate over how to handle the spread of misinformation, it would behoove us to reflect on how the first generation of Americans overcame this very issue.  Efforts to contain misinformation have become a growing point of contention in the United States as of late. Social media giants flag and deplatform individuals who spread allegedly false information at an increasing rate. Of course, who gets to distinguish between genuinely false information and areas with legitimate room for disagreement is where things get messy.  Today, Caleb Franz returns to the program to outline misinformation throughout history, and the role free speech plays in fighting actual misinformation.

Ready or not, we are likely to see some dramatic changes in monetary policy in the near future. Joakim Book laments that part of the problems is that nobody understands the monetary system. Before you believe anyone else either for or against the documentary "2000 Mules", you should consider watching the film yourself. Jonathan Mosely describes how many media fact-checkers are failing this simple test. If you think the housing crisis is bad right now, just wait until our friends in the political class step up to "fix" the problem. Mark C. Ross explores what happens when our housing bubble collapses. The latest $40 billion gift from Congress to Ukraine is just another symptom of a larger problem: The U.S. is actively trying to provoke Russia to attack NATO.

Understanding logical fallacies is a great way to become a better thinker. Jon Miltimore lists out 6 fallacies to look out for when the subject is gun control. This is a great object lesson. Most people fear being called racist. Not because they are but because of the stigma that even an accusation can carry. Bryan Caplan offers an ironclad argument against racism and other forms of collective guilt. Do you find yourself becoming more cynical about politics as time goes on? Maybe that's because the limits of cynicism are being pushed to the breaking point. As the Z-man puts it, politics is a sales campaign being pushed by fraudsters.

As the 247th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution approaches, Caleb Franz from the Profiles in Liberty podcast joins me to talk about an often overlooked historical figure. If you're determined to find the truth via the internet, you have your work cut out for you. Thomas Buckley has an enlightening take on why there's so much internet nonsense. Politicians sure wish that the public would take them as seriously as they take themselves. Llewellyn King says the political class needs to level with us before that can happen. There are plenty of people who are willing and able to be problem-solvers in their neighborhoods and communities. Why don't they accomplish more? Kent McManigal explains that it's because the "law" always benefits the elites. Activism in the public school system is a serious temptation for some teachers. Abigail Schrier provides some unsettling examples of how activist teachers in the California school system are recruiting kids into sexual identity and gender politics. How can a broken society break its addiction to cynicism, joylessness and information? Emina Melonic says we must first reject the slogan embraced by the great resetters who say start from zero again. A few days ago, Dr. Fauci claimed "we may never know" if the costs of lockdowns will outweigh the benefits. Here's a timely dose of reality for the good doctor regarding the flawed Imperial College model that fueled his fear machine. Care to guess what the number one cause of war has been since 1898?

Given how hard they're painting us as enemies, T.R. Clancy wonders, whose democracy is this anyway? As you've likely noticed, taking control of free speech starts with taking control of the words we use. If we're serious about staying connected to reality, Kate McColl says we need hard words to speak about hard realities. U.S. foreign policy is turning out to be a pretty effective red pill for a lot of us. As Caitlin Johnstone explains, international law is a meaningless concept when it only applies to U.S. enemies. It may not seem like there's much we can do about the current global drama but we're far from helpless to improve the situation where we're standing. Annie Holmquist says, teach your kids to read, so they'll learn how to think.

Why are insurance company actuaries reporting an unusual spike in deaths of people ages 18-64 in the last half of 2021? Robert E. Wright weighs in on life, death and insurance. Caleb Franz of the Profiles In Liberty podcast joins me for our semi-monthly History In Action segment. This time around we talk about the Boston Massacre and the importance of not rushing to judgment. Is social media a curse or a blessing to the young people of our time? Before you answer that question, check out Kent McManigal's take on how social media is doing invisible damage to our youth. There's a certain comic book quality to the narrative regarding Russia vs. Ukraine. Jordan Schachtel makes a strong case that this is less a matter of good vs. evil and more like 2 kleptocratic shades of gray.

Jordan Schachtel makes a strong case that this is less a matter of good vs. evil and more like 2 kleptocratic shades of gray. We're feeling the effects of inflation in many areas right now. For those trying to understand what 7.5% inflation means, Peter Jacobsen says the Rule of 72 can help us understand why our concern is warranted. What do the CIA and Pentagon's hatred of Julian Assange have to do with the current fighting in Ukraine? Jacob Hornberger connects the dots on a story that mass media is carefully avoiding, for some reason. As hard as it would be for most of us to set aside social media, there are good reasons to consider doing so. Kate McColl suggests that social media is showing us that the world wants to be deceived.

Caleb Franz from the Profiles In Liberty podcast joins me for our regular segment. In honor of President's Day, we talk about the most notable and infamous presidents of the U.S. Unless you've been living in a cave with your eyes tightly shut and your fingers in your ears, you've likely noticed that a clear realignment is taking place in our society. Jeffrey A. Tucker explains how, thanks to the growing partnership between big business and big government, we are seeing a clash of the Patricians vs. the Plebeians. What has happened to objective journalism? Not just in America but in virtually every nation? John W. DeFeo has an interesting take from the standpoint of someone has worked in newsrooms for most of his career. Why isn't the mainstream media talking about the economy these days? The Z-man notices that the MSM seems to have been told to drop the subject, even as storm clouds continue to gather. The way that the Canadian government is weaponizing virtually every government and monetary institution to go after people who want their freedoms back is pretty chilling. Brandon Smith warns that our choices are rapidly narrowing to separation or purge. We shouldn't be surprised that politicians love to take credit for things they haven't actually done. Even so, as Jordan Schachtel puts it: The Ukraine mirage consists of Biden taking credit for stopping his own manufactured crisis. If you're serious about standing for your freedom, it's time to come to grips with the fact that it will not be easy. Max Borders makes the case for learning how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. James Bovard's take on Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau's naked grab for power is worth your time. The PM's hysteria is a cautionary tale of why government power must be checked and balanced. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

It's taken far too long but the truth is becoming impossible to deny. From a public health standpoint, the lockdowns not only weren't necessary but they imposed enormous economic and social costs as well. A new study out of Johns Hopkins confirms what so many have warned about over the past two years. It seems like there are endless calls right now for people to "get boosted" for their own good. Here's one that I intend to act upon. Jeff Minnick suggests taking a liberty booster to help relieve stress and restore sanity. Caleb Franz is the host of Profiles in Liberty and he joins me for what will be a regular segment regarding his latest episode. Today he shares the remarkable story of Frederick Douglass meeting with his former master after he was no longer a slave. You can tell a lot about how much impact a person is having by the intensity of their opposition. If this is true, then Joe Rogan must be having major impact. The White House and the Surgeon General have called for Spotify to "deal with" Rogan. David Harsanyi says government has no business rooting out and flagging "misinformation" on our behalf.

Caleb Franz joins me from the "Profiles In Liberty" podcast. We talk about Thomas Jefferson and his record on slavery as well as the juxtaposition between holidays like Juneteenth and Independence Day. Ever heard someone describe taxation as a necessary evil? I've said the words myself. Why don't we ever hear such words used to describe charity? It's because one is voluntary and the other is coerced. Jean Vilbert ponders what would happen if charity replaced taxation. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but our federal government couldn't get away with it's blatant usurpation of power without the help of the Federal Reserve. Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center has a compelling explanation of how the national bank destroyed the limits of the Constitution. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Libertarians are a fractious bunch, like any ideological movement there are various camps and tensions between the big ideas and practical politics. In this moment of loud calls for policing reforms, it is worth noting that the libertarian movement has long been on the correct side of the issue. The coalitional problems arise when the far-left get involved and when riots, random violence or looting occur. Some libertarians harbor deep conservative sensibilities when it comes to law enforcement, the military and civility. Caleb Franz of Young Voices and The MilLiberty Initiative spends a lot of time thinking about this, so he was a perfect guest to join Underscored and break it all down.

The week on Beltway Banthas, in a 90-minute marathon run, we cover a lot of ground on Star Wars, politics and religion. In the main segment Stephen Kent is joined by Matthew Neugebauer to analyze Star Wars fandom and its troubles over the decades. A video from Wisecrack serves as the starting point for an analogy of fandom by understanding Protestant Reformation and the concept of a 'legitimation crisis'. Basically, in social science, what does it take to unravel social order and how can that be applied to the life of Star Wars fans.  Starting off the show, Caleb Franz guests to talk about D23 announcements and the new Rise of Skywalker teaser, an Obi-Wan Kenobi series and much more.  Get full access to Geeky Stoics at www.geekystoics.com/subscribe

This episode originally aired on The Muddied Waters of Freedom's podcast, "The Wrighters Block" "Brian Nichols from the Brian Nichols Show and the Libertarian Republic joins Matt to talk about the new Congress and the Presidential field in 2020." Matt Wright Bio: Matt wright is the former vice chair of the Libertarian Party of Pinellas county. He has worked on numerous statewide campaigns for libertarian candidates, and continues to be an avid activist. He is a published fiction author, and continues working to help further the liberty movement through activism, his writing, and this podcast. The Muddied Waters of Freedom: Matt Wright and Mohammed Shaker had seen each other on social media for a while before finally meeting each other at Low Tide Kava Bar in Gulfport in the summer of 2015. They began hanging out on a regular basis talking about politics, religion and life in general. After months of them getting to know each other Mohammed asked if Matt would be interested in doing a podcast together. After a few more months of talking about it they decided to take the plunge, and sat down at Matt's house and recorded their first episode which was met with very little critical acclaim. They were able to borrow a microphone from a friend in order to approve on the sound of the episodes and slowly they approved the quality of their episodes. After running a contest on Facebook in order to help name the show Matt and Mo decided on the name “The Muddied Waters of Freedom” in an allusion to the kava they drink during their show, along with the murky waters of politics and the effects it has on each and every persons' personal freedoms. The Muddied Waters of Freedom is becoming a steadfast in the Liberty Movement having been mentioned on other podcasts, such as MilLiberty with Caleb Franz, and Across the Aisle with Zak, Adam and Kaison, and received recognition from Eric July from the Backwordz. Matt and Mohammed continue to put out episodes touching on the current events of the week, hoping to educate their listeners on what is happening, how our personal freedoms are being infringed upon, and what we can do to change the path our country is currently on.

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we are joined by a friend of the show, Caleb Franz! Caleb appeared on The Brian Nichols Show back in the Summer of 2018 to discuss his new venture, The MiLiberty Initiative. The MiLiberty Initiative's first project is an amazing project that Caleb is here to discuss: The Reintegration Project. Listen as Caleb explains The Reintegration Project and how it uses a market-based approach in helping non-violent ex-offenders find careers where their past convictions is of no concern to business owners. With a voluntary pledge, business owners vow to ignore the records of ex-offenders and only judge them on their job performance. Later, Caleb explains in detail as to how and ex-offender comes to learn about businesses that are Reintegration Project businesses, how a business owner become a Reintegration Project business, and the way The Reintegration Project helps show that libertarians are putting their money where their mouths are.
