What role should the government play in small business owners economic life? It seems that with the Trump tariffs are at tax that the government is putting on all our lives, but should it just stay out of it?My next guests argue that that the evidence points to that government interference and failed policies pose the most significant threat to economic freedom.Senator Phil Gramm served six years in the U.S. House of Representatives and eighteen years in the U.S. Senate where he was Chairman of the Banking Committee.

Every day we encounter situations that require us to expend moral energy. Paul Rosenberg has some timely wisdom to share on the dispersion of our moral energy. If you've been looking for reasons to feel grateful, Donald J. Boudreaux has something to consider: Next time you're in the supermarket, contemplate all the little miracles that make it possible to fill that cart. Those who are serious about moving the cause of liberty, understand that it requires more than a political solution. Little House On the Prairie can teach us what a culture of freedom is like. Article of the Day: Bad science, backed by force has been the source of a great deal of unhappiness the past 4 years. Jeffrey A. Tucker wonders, how did a small group do this to us?

“Non esiste figura, persona, che abbia avuto un'influenza più grande sugli intellettuali al di là della cortina di ferro di Friedrich von Hayek. I suoi libri venivano tradotti clandestinamente, pubblicati sul mercato nero, letti da moltissime persone, e hanno senza ombra di dubbio influenzato quel cambiamento della mentalità generale che ha infine portato al collasso l'Unione Sovietica. - Milton Friedman a proposito di Hayek” - intervista a Think Tank, Maggio 1999“Dato che il valore della libertà risiede nelle opportunità che essa offre ad azioni impreviste e imprevedibili di verificarsi, raramente ci renderemo conto di cosa stiamo perdendo nel momento in cui una particolare libertà viene limitata.” – F. von Hayek, “Principles or Expediency?” in Toward Liberty: Essays in Honor of Ludwig von Mises on the Occasion of his 90th Birthday (29 September 1971)Premio Nobel per l'Economia nel 1974, Friedrich August von Hayek è stato uno dei grandi difensori della libertà nel Novecento.Ragazzo del '99, combatté nella prima guerra mondiale e visse sulla sua pelle l'affermarsi dei totalitarismi. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale cominciò a interrogarsi su come evitare che il secondo dopoguerra somigliasse al primo ed elaborò un complesso progetto di ricerca per rifondare il liberalismo classico. Per questo i suoi interessi cominciarono a spingersi oltre l'economia teorica, abbracciando la storia delle idee e la teoria politica. Il suo libro del 1960, "La società libera", ha aperto una nuova stagione nella storia delle idee liberali.Per Hayek, non solo il mercato, ma anche il diritto, la lingua e gran pare delle istituzioni umane non corrispondono all'esito di un progetto dei governi, ma sono in larga misura l'esito inintenzionale di azioni umane intenzionali. Centrale in Hayek è l'idea che la conoscenza è dispersa e difficilmente ‘centralizzabile' nell'economia. Per questo i tentativi di pianificazioni, anche quando ispirate dalle migliori intenzioni, tendono a ridurre la libertà e a produrre inefficienza. Hayek è stato un critico dei sistemi economici, giuridici e politici tutt'oggi prevalenti, ma anche un punto di riferimento per leader come Margaret Thatcher o Ronald Reagan.Protagonista:Lisa KinspergherOspite:Alberto Mingardi, Direttore Generale IBL e Professore di Storia delle Dottrine Politiche presso l'Università IULMConsigli di lettura-“Hayek: l'essenziale” (2017), di Donald J.

The words "safe and effective" have been abused a lot over the past couple of years. Steve Kirsch has an eye-opening article on how the "safe and effective" narrative is falling apart and what that means. On a similar note, Caitlin Johnstone says that humanity is finally learning that the rules are all made up and can be changed at any time. Once you've seen the propaganda, it's hard not to see it. The problems we face can't be solved with political solutions alone. Diana Alloco explains the need for four simple words to save America: In God we trust. So much of public policy is sold to us on the basis of how it manages or alleviates risk. Donald J. Boudreaux reminds us that assessing risks accurately requires accurate information.

We don't hear enough of the stories of people who find the courage to stand up to government and end up prevailing. Caleb Trotter describes how a California tattoo artist beat the public health officials who denied her a permit.

Peterson explains how ideas shaped the words that made the modern world. There's no shortage of people in line to denounce big business. Allan Stevo reminds us that it's not businesses that conservatives should worry about. It's government. Always government. Teaching kids to love reading is one of the greatest gifts you can give.

Like it or not, we are all veterans now in the war on reality. Rajan Laad offers some very timely examples of how the media is attempting to capture our minds. The issue of transexual individuals in women's sports is a modern version of The Emperor's New Clothes. It's also a example of how those who refuse to recite things they know are false are being targeted. The Hunter Biden laptop story should be a much bigger deal. Not because of the salaciousness of the images on his laptop but because of what it reveals about the deceptive nature of the American press. You'd have to trying pretty hard not to notice the sinister shift in how public health has melded with public policy. Donald J. Boudreaux says the hazard of public health paternalists is real and growing. Ever heard of the Great Uncleaving? It's a fascinating take on why the time has come to withdraw your consent and, for the sake of your family, to separate from the system that is trying to destroy you. The Good Citizen has knocked another one out of the ballpark. To be or not to be, influenced is something that should be read by each of us trying to make our influence felt. Why do we do what we do? Given the choice between following the "science" and following your conscience, which would you choose? Connor Tomlinson warns that we should not be so quick to forgive and forget the mass information psychosis that was forced on us. Why should we be so jealous of the truth?

The beauty of the Constitution isn't found in the government it called into existence. It's found in the restrictions and limitations it imposes on that government. Huck Davenport has a great essay on the single most important thing we can do to save the Constitution. Isn't it curious how so many people perceive a political stance in an individual's stance either for or against the various Covid mandates? For instance, it's entirely possible to oppose mandates and not be a Trump fan. Donald J. Boudreaux explains the unhealthy relationship between Trump, Covid, and despotism. As the people who wish to rule us continue to lose their grip on us, you're going to hear more calls for us to be disarmed. Case in point, the Atlantic just claimed that more people carrying guns tends to result in more shootings. Jon Miltimore points out how decades of data proves the wrong. Have you seen the hours-long lines of people waiting to get tested for the omicron variant? As Jeffrey A. Tucker explains, it's a perfect example of how government overreach is creating a health care crisis. Politicians and bureaucrats tend to be given a stature that they rarely deserve. Dr. Fauci is a good example of this. John Stossel reminds us that officials who claim to be the embodiment of science should not be taken seriously. Sen. Rand Paul agrees: Fauci is not beyond reproach. If you've ever found yourself wondering just exactly how we have lost so much freedom in such a short time, you're not alone. T.K. Coleman has a great explanation for how freedom is lost. To understand how democracy devolves into tyranny, start by studying history. Jeff Thomas notes that, like a sandcastle, democracy is always temporary and that people will embrace the illusion of safety in return for their freedoms. I get it. Not everyone wants to be a psychic. Still, it feels pretty good to be paying close enough attention to what's happening to be able to predict certain outcomes.

There's plenty of bad news out there and, sadly, some of it may actually be based in fact. Edward Snowden takes aim at bad news, bad data and the new denialism that threatens to put us into a state of civic paralysis. The incredible real estate boom throughout the Intermountain West has made it very difficult to find an affordable home or to even find a rental--at any price. Still, it could be worse. Jon Miltimore has an interesting article on why many in Sweden have to wait a decade or longer just to land an apartment. What happens when you mix politics with science? You get more politics. Christopher Lingle tackles the issue of climate science and asks: Is this about seeking truth or simply defending consensus? One of the most curious aspects of our current cultural climate is that we are not allowed to consider alternatives to the official narrative. A good example of this is the current crusade to treat Ivermectin as "horse medicine" when it has a proven track record of treating human parasite infections for 30 years. Michelle Malkin helps us separate the horse hockey from the truth on Ivermectin. Why are politicians unable to admit that the policies they've foisted on us for the past 18 months are utter failures? Do they worry that they'll lose their god-like status if we realize they are fallible? Donald J. Boudreaux has an excellent explanation, as well as a warning, that we are on track for calamitous policy outcomes.

“Economics supplies indispensable mental habits and analytical tools for gaining a better understanding of why and how it is that each of us, every moment of every day, enjoy the fruits of the labors and creativity of literally billions of strangers.”~ Donald J. Boudreaux
“As is so often true in economics, being attuned to more than what is immediately obvious yields insights very different from those that arise from looking only at what is immediately obvious.” ~ Donald J. Boudreaux
The door to door ministry of the government's vaccine missionaries is concerning enough. How far can we be from mandatory vaccinations? Donald J. Boudreaux explains why "externality" is no good excuse for such government overreach. The catastrophic damage done by government-backed lockdowns over Covid concerns is still just beginning to be realized. James Bovard observes that the fact checkers seem to be asleep as the governors who locked down America appear to be taking victory laps over their actions. Governments that operate in secret typically are not concerned about the consent of the governed. If that sounds like a totalitarian dictatorship, think again. Michelle Malkin has an eye-opening article about the secrecy and roadblocks with which the US government handles its no-fly list. Freedom of information isn't as free as we were led to believe. The prospect of well-intended government functionaries showing up on my doorstep to inquire about my vaccination status isn't sitting well with me. Becky Akers had a few creative suggestions as to how such visitors might be handled. Here's how you might roll out the ol' welcome mat.

Most graduation speeches are long on platitudes and short on wisdom. I love the speech that Donald J. Boudreaux would have given--had someone just invited him to speak. This is a speech with some highly applicable information. Vaccination is a touchy subject for many but it's one that needs to be more broadly discussed and debated. Especially now that the White House is apparently pushing for a door to door campaign to reach out to the still unvaccinated. Speaking the truth in an age of lies is considered a revolutionary act. Few people understand this more clearly than former Mumford & Sons band member Winston Marshall. Check out his reasons for leaving the band, not just to protect his former bandmates, but also to maintain his personal integrity. This is what legit courage looks like in our time. Some people love to be treated as a child but I'm not one of them. Here's an excellent article on how leftists want to be your parents and how they're using the power of the state to reduce you to perpetual childhood.

Pouring salt into this economic wound, a minimum wage – by pricing these workers out of jobs – prevents them from getting the skills and experience that would enable them tomorrow to bargain for better jobs.
The "insurrection" narrative that's taken so seriously by the political class is having a tough time holding up to scrutiny. It's also demonstrating that the FBI is quickly morphing into a politicized American Gestapo in regards to how it is going after those who were present at the Capitol on January 6. Jeff Minnick has the details. The fear of many members of the political class is that a revolution is afoot. Joakim Book confirms that there is a silent revolution taking place but it's not the violent one that those who seek to rule us are dreading. Sometimes it seems that when politicians are feeling the heat at home, they blow up people and things abroad to shift our attention. The recent "defensive" U.S. airstrikes on what our officials call "Iranian-linked militias" in Iraq is a good example. Jacob Hornberger has some very solid reasons why it's time to reject interventionism for good. It's very tempting for well-meaning politicians to bravely force employers to pay what some call a "living wage." Their misguided desire to help reliably causes more problems. Donald J. Boudreaux has a well thought out explanation of why low wages are not proof that workers lack sufficient bargaining power.

I have deep respect for the folks who can take complicated topics and distill them down to the basic principles at stake. Donald J. Boudreaux has a marvelous analogy of how the modern economy works. It's worth a read. Exercising your free speech should be simple enough, right? Unfortunately, in our highly litigious society, defamation lawsuits are becoming a common tactic of government employees who wish to use lawfare against people who publicly complain against them. Ryan McMacken explains how these lawsuits are being used to stifle free speech. California has definitely been one of the harshest practitioners of gun control among the states. Now a federal judge has overturned California's so-called assault weapons ban more than 32 years after it was first enacted. The judge calls the policy a "failed experiment" that violates the individual right to keep and bear arms. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. Freedom is hardly a passing fad but there are plenty of would-be rulers who'd like us to think that it is. Ethan Yang explores the ancient desire for freedom among humankind and how the efforts of those who came before us have given us solid ground upon which to stand. The U.S. government is doing a lot of things all over the world in your name and mine. Pat Buchanan asks a question that any citizen worth his or her salt should be willing to ask of their elected representatives: What is America's cause in the world? Truth be told, our nation's foreign policy doesn't seem to reflect much of anything that pertains to the American citizenry or voting public. Do you believe in the freedom fairy? The question may sound facetious but it accurately depicts how some people view casting their vote. Jeff Thomas explains how this mindset is contributing to the decline of formerly great first world nations. Perhaps it's just the season but there's a surprising amount of people who are simply obsessed with what others might or might not be thinking. Walter Block takes on the question of whether or not we should recognize "hate crimes" and his response is one worth considering. At long last, face masks are beginning to go out of fashion--at least for some. Allan Stevo continues to offer some of the best advice on how to work around those businesses who've chosen to hang on to mask mandates for their customers. His latest essay lays out why it's bad to mention the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to justify your decision not to wear one.

Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, it might be a good time to evaluate exactly what we were observing over the weekend. Pat Buchanan asks the question that few are willing to ask: Were the wars wise? It's a bit discouraging watching prices go higher and higher on just about everything around us. Donald J. Boudreaux sees a silver lining in our economic turmoil. He says, thank goodness for economic ignorance. The stories of ransomware being used to extort money from large corporations are giving opponents of cryptocurrencies an excuse to call for yet another government "solution." J.P.

The world would in fact be a much better place if economic fallacies were less prevalent and less widespread. Not the least of these fallacies is the one that holds that economies fail to the extent that they don't protect existing jobs.
Even if political pressures were miraculously to disappear, government officials would remain ignorant of most of the detailed bits of knowledge about how resources are, and potentially can be, used. And so any errors these officials make in distinguishing ‘critical’ from not-critical goods and services will result in resources being used more wastefully than otherwise.
Whatever the novelty and dangers of Covid-19, the novelty and dangers of Covid-19 lockdowns are at least arguably of the same magnitude. The dismissal of the unknown possible horrors of lockdowns in order to focus attention exclusively on the unknown possible horrors of SARS-CoV-2 is as unjustified by science as it is unpardonable as policy.

Russell Roberts is an economist, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and president designate of Shalem College. He is known for communicating economic ideas in understandable terms as host of the EconTalk podcast. Roberts categorizes himself as a proponent of classical economic liberalism. He has said, "I believe in limited government combined with personal responsibility. So I am something of a libertarian, but . . . that term comes with some baggage and some confusion." Roberts was awarded a B.A. in economics in 1975 from the University of North Carolina and Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago in 1981 for his thesis on the design of government transfer programs under the supervision of Gary Becker. Roberts has previously taught at George Mason University, Washington University in St. Louis (where he was the founding director of what is now the Center for Experiential Learning), the University of Rochester, Stanford University, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a regular commentator on business and economics for National Public Radio's Morning Edition, and has written for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Roberts also blogs at Cafe Hayek with Donald J. Boudreaux at George Mason University in Fairfax County, Virginia. Roberts writes and publishes videos on economics, some of which have been viewed millions of times.[16] One of the most widely watched videos is Fear the Boom and Bust, a rap battle between 20th century economists John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich von Hayek.
If you've found yourself wondering how politics can make people so divisive and angry, Kent McManigal has some answers. In a nutshell, politics destroys civility by calling for government violence against anyone who doesn't see things the way we do. Those who are pushing the "woke" agenda don't seem all that concerned that you and I may not be buying what they're selling. As Annie Holmquist explains, that's because they're focusing their efforts on creating a brave new world of woke children. You're likely hearing more about critical race theory these days than you'd prefer. Far from correcting actual wrongs, CRT is being used to divide and conquer our society. As Stella Morabito explains, this is a classic Marxist tactic at play. Texas just announced that it was lifting its COVID restrictions and mask mandates. This is bringing swift condemnation and accusations of "recklessness" from lockdowners. Donald J. Boudreaux shares the story of Vicky to illustrate what happens when we lose all perspective in a quest to avoid something that we fear. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Governments are fond of dictating maximum prices and minimum wages. To the economically ignorant, these policies appear humane and worthwhile. But when examined through the lens of economics, these policies are clearly revealed to be harmful to the very persons they are ostensibly meant to help.

Have you been scolded by others for not taking the pandemic seriously enough? Donald J. Boudreaux has a great essay about the invidious comparisons being used to keep us alarmed about the coronavirus. The biggest drawback to most federal "solutions" is that the one-size-fits-all approach always brings unintended consequences. As Martha Njolomole explains, this is especially true regarding a national $15/hour minimum wage. Our nation's highly politicized atmosphere is waking up a number of folks who never realized how easy it was to be targeted as a radical. Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has been a welcome voice of reason on this disturbing trend. On a related note, the growing distance between those in government and the people they seek to govern is pretty obvious to anyone who's paying attention. Jeff Minnick asks, and answers, the question: What's behind the disappearance of average Joe? It's a timely reminder to those who seek to rule us that respect is a two way street. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
When combined with the empirically verified reality that increased trade between nations decreases the likelihood of those nations getting into shooting wars with each other, what is left of the national-security exception to the case for unilateral free trade is very narrow indeed.
It's not just for the eggheads. People who are intent on understanding how the world works must have some familiarity with basic economics. Donald J. Boudreaux spells out 6 key takeaways every student should receive from Econ 101. Leave it to California to come up with a way to make taxes even more onerous. Gary Galles explains how the Golden State is trying to tax people who live in other states to feed its insatiable appetite for revenue. Last night President Trump finally conceded the 2020 election. This may be a bitter pill for disappointed populists to swallow but as Edward Welsch points out, there may be a silver lining to this outcome. Don't let the maniacal gloating and virtue signaling of the swamp dwellers get you down.

With the first truckloads of Covid vaccine making their way across the country, a moment of decision is approaching. Will you take the vaccine or not? More to the point, will the vaccine be forced on you or not? Christine Smith explains how mandatory vaccinations and liberty are at odds with each other. Another question on the minds of wrongthinkers: When do we start coming out of the Covid-19 mass hysteria? Michael Fumento offers an explanation of how it may happen and why it's taking so long.

Foreigners do not treat us ‘unfairly’ if they insist on sending to us more imports in exchange for a given amount of our exports (or, what is the same thing, if they accept fewer of our exports in exchange for a given amount of what we import from them). Accusing foreigners in such a case of treating us unfairly makes no more sense than accusing your employer who gives you a raise of treating you unfairly.
What I believe is deranged is the failure to put Covid-19 in proper perspective. It is deranged to behave as if the risks that Covid poses to kindergartners, to college students, and to healthy young people are indistinguishable from the risks that Covid posed to your elderly father, or poses even to me, a 62-year-old.
As I was out and about over the weekend, one thing was perfectly clear: Very few people are following the official admonitions to stay home and hide from Covid. I suspect that Thanksgiving will go on as normal for most of us, despite Dr. Fauci's demand that we "do as we're told." It's not a matter of simply being contrarian, it's an acknowledgement that we have to maintain perspective on this illness. Donald J. Boudreaux has an excellent letter to a reader explaining the difference. It's not uncommon to hear mental health terms used to describe those who hold opposing points of view. "Trump derangement syndrome" and "Covid derangement syndrome" are two of the more common ones. Jeff Deist recently gave a brilliant speech about our current national psychosis and it's worth your time to check it out. We cannot surrender to the current demoralization campaign. Faith in the media is collapsing and it's really scaring the folks who are paid to uphold the official narrative. Boyd Cathey has a fascinating take on how Fox News is being spoken of with the same derision as CNN and what it means for the future of America. This is why alternative platforms and sources of information are beginning to come to the forefront. Ultimately, the key to maintaining our mental and spiritual freedom will be the product of becoming propaganda-proof. Annie Holmquist explains how that can happen, one family at a time. As part of our continuing quest to become more independent thinkers, I'm sharing Paul Rosenberg's latest column on logical fallacies. This time around, Paul teaches how to recognize and counter the "appeal to authority" fallacy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
The economic way of thinking brings into sharp focus a world otherwise invisible.
Many people today seem almost eager to be misled about the danger posed by Covid. Much of humanity today appears to perversely enjoy being duped into the irrational fear that any one of us, regardless of age or health, is at the mercy of a brutal beast categorically more lethal than is any other danger that we’ve ever confronted.
WrongThinker Gary Welch joins me to discuss presidential Covid and the takeaways from last week's debate. We're both particularly encouraged by the Great Barrington Declaration regarding how to build herd immunity. Watch a marvelous video of the event here. The challenges associated with the coronavirus are real. But as Donald J. Boudreaux reminds us, just because Mother Nature throws us a curve ball doesn't mean we're facing an existential threat. A question too few are asking is this: Who should run the country? If your first thought is to name one or another political candidate, think again.

A friend posted something very thoughtful on Facebook earlier today. Here's a brief excerpt: "It’s time to turn off the noise streaming from controlled public servants in compromised positions and make the decisions that will keep your families safe and alive. It’s not time to listen to the endless bantering and threatening between political parties, it’s time to get your food, clothing, water, defensive tools and backbones straightened. In the world’s history this moment has come many times and people have found safety from Mao, Hitler, Castro, bombings, wars, civil unrest, and what ever else you can think of, because they acted while everyone else was waiting to see what would happen. Even when in the midst of such unrest, hope and miracles are available." There is an overabundance of fear all around us right now and it's leading many people to make hasty decisions that bring long-term consequences. Donald J. Boudreaux explains how fear is a viral monster and why we should resist it as vigorously as we're trying to resist the coronavirus. Back to school time is upon us and there are many who are having a bit of a gut check over what's being required of them and their kids. If you're considering homeschooling, take a look at this advice from Paul Rosenberg. He spells out the good and the bad and he speaks from experience. If you're worried about cancel culture erasing history, it might not be a bad idea to start building your own library, in your own home. High school student Thomas Ullman makes a convincing argument that cancel culture is jeopardizing his education.

Our weekly interview with Eric Peters from EPAutos.com in which we discuss the president's wearing of a face mask and the downsides of having to pay "rent" on a vehicle each year in the form of property taxes. Many of us perceive safety in blending into the crowd. But the world doesn't need more clones. It needs original and authentic characters. James Walpole has a refreshingly different take on how the irreplaceable survives the interchangeable. Given the volatility of the topic of racism, it can be a difficult subject to discuss rationally. Tom Krannawitter has a remarkably straightforward take on the difference between having racist thoughts and genuine injustice. When it comes to making decisions about our lives, who is better qualified? You or a collection of bureaucrats? Donald J. Boudreaux warns to exercise deep caution in whom we trust. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
Historically, a crisis often affords new opportunities – new ways of doing things. As the world grapples with the Covid-19 pandemic and the rapid decline of the economy, are our elites open to imagining the world in a different way? What are the dangers of not doing so? CrossTalking with Joti Brar, Donald J. Boudreaux, and Richard D. Wolff.
Are you regularly using the most powerful 2-letter word in the English language? Donald J. Boudreaux explains why this word is essential to a coercion-free life. Why are economic liberty and consumer sovereignty necessary to a free society? Jacob Hornberger from the Future of Freedom Foundation explains how the free market upholds personal freedom. Natural law is dismissed by some as "fiction" since they can't go to their preferred law books to find it spelled out. Verbal Vol says understanding it is crucially important to keeping man-made laws limited to the protection of natural rights. How we view those we oppose says more about us than it does them. Jeff Minnick has a timely warning about why this is so. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
Why is the free market superior to central planning? Donald J. Boudreaux says it's because one encourages creativity and the other one doesn't. Was the Super Bowl a clear indicator of American cultural rot or a beacon of our best qualities? Jeffery A. Tucker looks at the upside. Serious about lifting people out of poverty? Consider lowering the minimum wage instead of raising it. Do we even need the First Amendment? Most of us would reflexively answer "Yes" but wait until you hear Jacob Hornberger's answer to this question. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

We take a long look at the tragedies in El Paso and Dayton where 29 people lost their life. We explore how a flawed philosophy of collectivism and nihilism plays a huge role in these terrible events in El Paso and Dayton. I spend a great deal of time showcasing how leadership matters, yet sadly we have a president that uses rhetoric that inspires these hate crimes. Then we discuss ways to impact positive change including embracing self-ownership, self-love and respect for the individual rights of others. We explore how collectivism fosters hateful behavior and how individualism leads to better outcomes. We also take a look at the War on Drugs and how that plays a key role in the number of cases of gun violence in America. Then we get into President Trump and the fierce loyalty he has from his supporters. Often evidence is ignored, truth does not matter and actual facts are dismissed. We explore the topics of the First Amendment and the Trade War as examples of how this plays out. This magnetic loyalty that Trump has with his supporters is real. He will be a difficult candidate to defeat in 2020. We also discuss various other issues and people including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., San Diego Padres, Francisco Mejia, Kirby Yates, Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Diego Sports Curse, Pageant of the Masters, Laguna Beach, Luis Urias, Postal Annex, Poway, MAGA, Donald J. Boudreaux, George Mason University, Mercatus Center, tariffs, cronyism, free trade, Trans Pacific Partnership, TPP, Scott Adams, and Dilbert. #ElPasoStrong, #DaytonStrong, #JohnRileyProject #LiveYourLife #LoveYourLife #Individualism JRP0065 Supporting Articles: Trump Wants to Block Freedom of Religion **http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/trump-close-mosques-216008 Trump Wants to Block Freedom of Speech http://money.cnn.com/2015/12/08/technology/donald-trump-internet/ Trump Wants to Block Freedom of the Press http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/trump-threatens-to-weaken-first-amendment-protections-for-reporters/ John Riley Project Info: Bookings?

Domino’s Pizza is paving over potholes to preserve the cheesy integrity of their pies. Is it just a PR stunt? A sincere gesture of goodwill? Or is it also in their economic interest? Do roads and other “infrastructure” goods need to be provided by the government? Or do private individuals and organizations have incentives to provide such “public goods”? The FEEcast panelists explore these questions and also celebrate the recently completed FEEcon! Show Notes: Without Government, Who Will Build the Roads?

Economist John Williams and Gene Epstein return. Despite trillions of dollars of QE from various central banks around the world, the global economy remains mired in negative growth. With that we are witnessing a collapse of commodity prices headed by oil that is now at 4-year lows. Still John Williams steadfastly holds to his forecast of hyperinflation in the United Sates. With the burden of debt and mal investment dragging the world economy into a depression, we will ask John Williams why he predicts that seemingly unlikely outcome and assuming he is right, what will it mean for stock, bond and commodity prices, including of course gold and silver. Gene will return to provide his views on the economy and to talk about the Dec. 4th NYC Junto guest, Donald J. Boudreaux, who will talk about Half-Wits and Hypocrites. Donald is Sr. fellow Mercatus Center & prof. of economics, George Mason U. Chair - Globalization, Trade, Law, Economics, Antitrust.
