Podcast appearances and mentions of Raymond C Niles

Raymond C. Niles of AIER says we need to end the gasoline crisis through production, not coercion. Biden is thinking of price fixing, which led to long gas lines in the 1970's. The fair price is the market price, which is telling us we need to increase oil production. Coercion makes people poorer and production makes us wealthy.

Raymond C. Niles says Biden loves Trump's protective tariffs. Tariffs raise the cost of living and raises taxes. Everyone benefits from free trade and raises our standard of living. Both parties want a trade war with China. This is bad news for freedom lovers and consumers

“Now, despite nominally battling each other on many issues, on one issue Democrats and Republicans stand united: their bipartisan hostility to free trade.” ~ Raymond C. Niles

Raymond C. Niles talks about how government funding harms scientific integrity. Many scientists were afraid to speak out about the Wuhan Lab leak and against the lockdowns, because of fear of losing grants. Wuhan and lockdowns were politicized from the start.

We must separate government completely from science for the same reason we separate church from state and press from state. Don't force our scientists to become supplicants to government bureaucrats in order to pursue truth. That will be the death of reason, science, and truth, and lead to disasters, such as misunderstanding the origins of deadly viruses.

Much of the U.S. is experiencing legit arctic temperatures that are well below zero. Raymond C. Niles says, if you are warm right now, thank capitalism. It sure looks like cancel culture is just getting warmed up in terms of silencing voices of dissent. Hannah Cox reminds us that in a free and open society, people will sometimes say and write crazy things. Here's a question worth pondering: What's the difference between the real world and the narrative world? Caitlin Johnstone has a fascinating take on the the two worlds that most of us inhabit simultaneously. In many ways the COVID crisis appears to be easing somewhat. Why does it seem that so many politicians are loathe to let normalcy return? Anders Koskinen spells out how this virus has become a favorite tool of control for many of them. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Raymond C. Niles talks about the difference between a government created Monopoly and a company that is highly competitive. We need to get rid of Ant-trust. We need to separate business and government.

Multiply my story by the hundreds of thousands of patrons of their favorite store, bar, restaurant or coffee shop all over the City — and the hardworking owners of these establishments who poured their souls, lives, and savings into them — and you have a partial measure of the human cost, not just of Covid, but of the draconian lockdown policy and the other death-by-a-thousand-cuts regulations that have magnified its harm.

The key to getting wealthy in a capitalistic society is to produce something so valuable that millions of people want to trade for it.

In America, we are witnessing a type of cultural revolution that would have made Chairman Mao swoon with envy. Raymond C. Niles explains how the way out of this crisis is found in embracing individualism. Identity politics is a powerful tool for dividing up the citizenry and subjugating them through weaponized guilt. Dr. Shanon Brooks has a terrific essay explaining the history of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and how what we're seeing today compares. As we're hearing about rising numbers of Covid-19 cases, Jon Miltimore has a timely reminder that we need to take the 'experts' advice with a grain of salt. Even NPR is admitting that evidence is mounting that covid isn't as deadly as was first thought. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

The 9th Circuit court is considering the U.S. government's motion to allow the feds another run at the Bundy family in court. Ryan Bundy will fill us in on the details. If the Twitter wars are weighing on your mind, take care that you don't sacrifice free speech by asking government to "save" it. Raymond C. Niles reminds us that free speech is not just partisan speech with which you happen to agree. You've probably already noticed the beginnings of a meat shortage if you've been grocery shopping lately. The way to fix this problem, before it gets worse, is to break up the centralized system that created it. Ever heard of a false dilemma? Any time you hear someone opine that we must choose between the public health or the economy, you're being offered one. Nate Depalm explains how we must shift the debate. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
