The war drums are beating ever louder and too many of our fellow citizens are hearing them as a siren song. JD Breen has an excellent perspective on what entangling alliances are and where they're leading us.

Reed offers his observations on why that speech still resounds today. Sponsors: Life Saving Food Fifty Two Seven Alliance HSL Ammo Quilt & Sew

Finding like-minded people isn't so much a matter of finding folks who agree with you on everything. It's more about finding people who approach the search for truth like you do. The Tenth Amendment Center is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to go to the source regarding the Original Intent of the Founders. Michael Boldin's take on the Second Amendment is spot on. Becoming a parent is one of the most challenging, yet meaningful things a person can do. Cadence McManimon has a great essay on the extraordinary joys of ordinary family life. Instead of running from the political polarization all around us, we can take an active role in calming it Lawrence W. Reed suggests 16 things individuals can do to help bring America together. Article of the Day: The subject of critical thinking has been on my mind a lot lately. J.B. Shurk has a convincing article about the West's war on our critical thinking skills and why we must push back. Sponsors: Life Saving Food  Fifty Two Seven Alliance Iron Sight Brewing Co. Quilt & Sew

Our personal autonomy is rapidly disappearing as our basic necessities and taxes take every dime we earn. Jacob Hornberger calls for a return to the principles of economic liberty. The perversion of language is a key component of tyranny. Case in point, states which have prohibited DEI are seeing its proponents simply creating new acronyms for institutional racism. Are you in favor of smuggling or against it? Before you answer, take a look at this classic essay from Lawrence W. Reed on how he was a smuggler and makes no apologies for it. You don't have to be a Trump fan to recognize the growing Uniparty desperation to prevent him from being re-elected. J.B. Shurk says, the good news is the deep state has exposed itself. Article of the Day: The thought that we are being deliberately steered into a major war is deeply unsettling to anyone with a conscience. Doug Casey welcomes us to the warfare state and talks about our options. Sponsors: Life Saving Food  Fifty Two Seven Alliance Iron Sight Brewing Co. Quilt & Sew

As Summer of Rage 2.0 is rolled out to further destabilize our society, there's an important truth we must not forget. Barry Brownstein shares Viktor Frankl's thoughts on why there is no collective guilt. The thought of another world war is daunting to anyone with a conscience. Rebekah Bills has a thoughtful take on how she's preparing her children for WW III. Most of the people sentenced to the Soviet Gulag were sent there to "fix their thinking" rather than for actual crimes. J.B. Shurk says our own Marxist health officials want us committed for similar reasons. The single biggest voting bloc that is supporting the hard left agenda in America today is single women. Andrea Widburg says, it's time to repeal the 19th Amendment. Article of the Day: Every election cycle, politics takes on a kind of religious fervor that brings out the worst in the true believers.

How can you know if something is a natural right or simply a made up obligation? Judge Andrew Napolitano governments hate and fear the exercise of natural rights because they limit official power over you. Most of us are acclimated to the idea that a lot of government overreach makes little or no sense. Lawrence W. Reed reminds why FDR banned the sale of sliced bread during WWII. When did journalism, as we knew it, die? Sasha Stone says it happened on Nov 8, 2016 and she gives a thorough recounting of what replaced it afterward. The greatest manipulation of the public isn't so much a matter of the lies we're being told as it's a matter of the things we're not being told.

Humanity can be divided into those who seek to control others and those who do not. Lawrence W. Reed notes that the evil done by the first group is rising, but despair is not an option. It's a shame that partisan politics is so highly dependent upon labels. Daniel J. Mitchell says the battle isn't between right and left, it's statism vs. the individual. It's truly sad to see how the public school system has become an indoctrination camp of sorts for left-wing activism. Even elite private schools are succumbing to the siren song of diversity, equity and inclusion--leading some parents to sue over "bait and switch" tactics. Disappointment is part of the world in which we live. Annie Holmquist has a powerful essay about how even things that are meant for evil can be used for good, with the right attitude. We were commanded to "trust the experts" and let them do the thinking for us for the better part of two years and we're all paying the price for having done so. Steve Templeton explains the fall of the experts and how we learned that they're as fallible as the rest of us. Sponsors: Monticello College Life Saving Food  Bereli TMCP Nation Climbing Upward

It's been 20 years since the U.S. invaded Iraq on false pretenses. Jacob Hornberger describes the lessons learned and how the opportunists who pushed for that war are still gaming the system. There shouldn't be much doubt as to whether or not we live under a system that effectively operates as if it is above the law. Martin Geddes has some first-hand experience in holding administrative criminals accountable. Here's a story that provides some depth and breadth to American history. Lawrence W. Reed wonders if it was luck or a miracle that brought the pilgrims together with an English-speaking Indian named Samoset. 3 years ago we were told that our lives and freedoms would be locked down for 15 days to "slow the spread." Julie Kelly reminds us on the third anniversary of the lockdowns that the folks responsible have yet to experience real accountability. The people who pushed the covid lockdowns and mandates must be held accountable for their mistakes and separated from power. William Sullivan says the looming reckoning for covid tyrants is coming.

If you need a story to help restore your faith in humankind, Lawrence W. Reed has a great one. It's also a great lesson on how to get the most out of others. Having to choose between being truthful and being popular can be a challenge. Dan Sanchez spells out the reasons why unpopular truths need to be told and why freedom needs fearless truth-tellers. Speaking of truth-tellers, this segment from Matt Walsh is a simple and direct response to trans activists who seem to have forgotten that the pushback they're getting is the result of a fight they chose to start. The purveyors of the Jan 6 "insurrection" narrative are pushing back hard against Tucker Carlson and the video footage that casts serious doubts on their narrative. The truth is coming out and they are panicking. A lot of us are getting serious about being preppers. Here's a terrific article by Daisy Luther that explains why there isn't just one way to prepare.

It's a sad truth of our time that the lust to control other people is producing a clear herd mentality. Bruce Berres has some solid advice on how to break free from the herd. Critical race theory treats slavery as leverage to obtain power over others. If you want to understand the history of slavery that you probably weren't taught in school, Lawrence W. Reed has a far more accurate accounting. The parallels between Russia's Bolshevik revolution and what's happening in America today are getting tough to ignore. D. Parker has an enlightening take on cultural guerrilla warfare and how to fight the anti-freedom far-left at the grassroots level. If you haven't started plotting how you'll avoid the digital prison of CBDCs, now is the time to start. Nick Giambruno has 5 way to opt out of this dystopian future. How much of what our government and its media lackeys tell you do you believe? J.B. Shurk notes that, historically, constant government lies are what spark resistance movements.

Being able to think rationally in a time when everything is in commotion is a kind of superpower. Todd Hayen has a marvelous article on why "right or wrong, I am sticking with what I believe" is a dangerous way to to think. None of us wants to believe that we are helping to bring about tyranny but the fact is, sometimes we are. Barry Brownstein's latest is a must read as he describes how individuals enable tyranny. We live in a time when authentic heroes are being systematically erased from the public's memory. Lawrence W. Reed explains why heroes matter--and now more than ever. Some solutions seem too simple to be true. For instance, a return to basic moral and ethical principles is vital to the survival of a healthy society. Uldis Sprogis spells out how this simple truth applies to our society today. If the powers that be are serious about implementing a central bank digital currency (CBDC), they must first outlaw any competing cryptocurrency. Paul Rosenberg says the claims that crypto mining is a danger to the environment are part of that effort to seize control of cryptocurrency.

Why did the lockdowns feel so much like martial law? The Brownstone institute has been connecting the dots and the answer is that the government's national security arm led the covid response.

But these words are far from interchangeable. Lawrence W. Reed has a great essay on when equality becomes evil.

Not So Fast'. We discuss both the economic and Biblical problem with student loan forgiveness, which he critiqued in the article. We discuss the Biden administration's motives for student loan forgiveness, how Time magazine misinterprets Matthew 6:14 and Leviticus 25, the mechanics of the student loan industry, and, as an added bonus, the relationship between the Chicago and Austrian schools of economics.

Today's high inflation rate is poised to go higher. The latest CPI was up 7.9%. Home prices hit an all time high of $364,000 per Redfin, up 16% annually. Safety factors, building restrictions and the environmental movement all contribute to higher home prices and more homelessness. Larry Reed, the longtime former President of FEE - the Foundation for Economic Education - joins us. He believes that free market principles incentive the best of human behavior - prudent risk-taking, hard work, innovation, and ethics. Larry is an expert on the Great Depression. He relates those lessons to today's economy. We discuss real estate, economics, inflation, interest rates, and taxes. Learn about the danger of the government “giving away free stuff”. One fault with government intervention is favorable short-term action that results in long-term destruction.  Resources mentioned: Show Notes: www.GetRichEducation.com/388 Foundation for Economic Education: www.fee.org Lawrence W.

Price controls are being suggested by some commentators as a way to fight inflation. But, as Lawrence W. Reed, President Emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education explains, price controls would be a really bad idea. Larry also chats with show host Gene Tunny about whether Jesus was a socialist, why banks and the state should be kept separate, and why President Biden would benefit from lessons on infrastructure from the 21st President Chester A. Arthur. About this episode's guest - Lawrence W. ReedLawrence W.

Lawrence W. Reed is President emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education.

Understanding the difference between narrative and reality is becoming more important by the moment. Case in point, that plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan last year was held up as proof that anti-government extremism is our biggest threat. As Glenn Greenwald explains, the idea of kidnapping the governor came from the FBI, not the people it was trying to entice into joining the plot. As much as we get caught up in political labels, the real dynamic behind most of our societal conflict comes down to the collective vs. the individual. Lawrence W. Reed has a marvelous essay on what the worst totalitarian regimes have in common with one another. The relaxing of prohibitions on marijuana has provided some of the best illustrations of how the free market is superior to state-run central planning. John Stossel has an excellent article on how some states nevertheless impose so many rules that they effectively end up creating their own drug cartels. The Centers for Disease Control can't seem to make up their minds about masks. It's enough to make a thinking person wonder if they're manipulating the data to fit whatever their narrative requires at the moment. Jeffrey Tucker says the CDC exercises arbitrary power while it vandalizes the science to maintain its grasp on that power.

Fellow wrongthinker Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos joins me for our weekly reality check.  Whether you want to be a part of the culture war or not, it appears that we're all in the process of being drafted. Atilla Mert Sulker has a pretty solid take on why cultural revolutionaries always seem to have the upper hand. One thing is for certain, you can't win this war by becoming more like your opponents. I stopped respecting politicians a long time ago. These days, my deepest respect is reserved for those principled souls who are willing to engage in civil disobedience. Lawrence W. Reed has compiled a list of 11 of the most memorable acts of civil disobedience in history. It's a pretty inspiring list.

The greatest civilization of ancient times expired more than 1,500 years ago but the lessons to be learned from its experience are eternal. In this lecture, Lawrence W. Reed focuses on the Roman Republic—the key features, personalities and events that defined its rise as well as those that caused its decay in the First Century B.C. into an imperial autocracy. Many of the trends of our day echo those of the ancient Republic, which make its lessons all the more relevant, even pressing, for us now.Reed became president of the Foundation for Economic Education in 2008. Prior to that, he was founder and president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland, Michigan. He also taught economics and chaired the department of economics at Northwood University in Michigan from 1977 to 1984.

The political class is flexing hard for the American people. What more can it do to consolidate its power over us? James Bovard says pay close attention to the coming IRS reign of terror. Once upon a time, Disney could be counted on to be a family-friendly, non-politicized source of wonder and entertainment for children. Not anymore. Andrea Widburg has an excellent article on how the Disney Corporation is taking a deep dive into identity politics. One of the first steps to loosening the stranglehold that politics has over our individual lives is to recognize that the real battle isn't between the left and the right or conservatives and progressives. It's the individual vs. the collective and Lawrence W. Reed has a marvelous tribute to F.A. Hayek who made this clear distinction years ago.  It's no surprise that some folks get upset when confronted with some of the growing similarities between current America and Weimar Germany in the 1930's. What would happen if we compared the former Soviet Union to what's happening in America today? Victor Davis Hanson explains how we're being sovietized in 10 easy steps. Sometimes you can judge your success by the people who are most bothered by your efforts. Right now the German government is panicking over people who are invoking the legacy of legendary Nazi-resister Sophie Scholl to stand up and reject that country's increasingly totalitarian Covid restrictions.   Sponsors:  Monticello College Pure Light HSL Ammo Subscribe to the podcast  Support this program by becoming a Patron 

Why do so many people look for someone to lead them? Gary Barnett takes a hard look at how the very notion of leadership constitutes a failure of individual responsibility. The president has proposed universal preschool as part of his "American Families Plan" that includes free community college, paid leave and subsidized child care. Kerry McDonald has 4 solid reasons to oppose this offer to invite even more government control into the lives of our kids. The official push to get as many people vaccinated against Covid-19 as possible seems to be stalling. Those of us who have chosen to abstain from the vaccine are sometimes portrayed as selfish conspiracy theorists by the folks pushing for mandatory vaccination. Jeff Minnick has a well thought out response as to why he hasn't gotten the vaccine. The most successful people don't have an aversion to failure. Instead they learn from it and continue to improve. Lawrence W. Reed has the inspiring stories of two historic business failures by legendary entrepreneurs that reveal a poignant truth about failure. Change usually happens so incrementally that we hardly notice it. If you've been wondering how far tech has advanced in the past 20 years, Alex Hammond has some encouraging news.
