The results for the latest elections show that abortion is a driving force for some voters. Sasha Stone says the Democrats may be winning on abortion but history may not remember them so kindly. Athletes who were born male but choose to compete in women's sports are demanding some major accommodations on the part of society. Nicole Russell says the best way to change trans policies in sports is for women to refuse to play. Some surprising breakthroughs in the medicinal use of psychedelics to treat mental health patients have led to more serious research. Raymond J. March explains why psychedelics can only provide help if the FDA lets them. If memorization is such a useful learning tool, why have so many schools sidelined it? Annie Holmquist explains why progressives in education hate memorization. Article of the Day: The cognitive decline of Joe Biden is getting more obvious.

Niklas talks with Raymond J. March, the Director of fdareview.org at the Independent Institute, public policy and public choice fellow at the American Institute for Economic Institute and assistant professor for economics at North Dakota State University.Entrepreneurs are often taught the incentives of investors but rarely do they learn how the incentives of public bureaucracies work. However, in the area of medical technology and healthcare, navigating public health institutions is vital.This episode is a takedown of the most powerful government agency in the world - the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It regulates 40% of products in the US market and has an outsized influence on international markets.Ray explains the concept of public choice economics and how it helps us understand the incentives of a large bureaucracy. Public officials are self-interested and their incentive is to rather let someone die from natural causes than from a bad drug.The FDA withheld better insulin from diabetes patients, HIV drugs, and more covid-19 vaccines - all of which could have saved potentially millions of people's lives.Historically, the FDA massively expanded in size and reach into what became into the 2000s a giant behemoth that mandates 10+ years and $1bn+ costs for approving new drugs, medical devices, and therapies. Even software can be regulated.During the covid-19 pandemic, the key flaw of the FDA approval process became apparent: speed. A pandemic is no time for decade-long testing.The pandemic led to deregulatory pressures on the FDA, and they may lead to progress when it comes to patients' rights and medical innovation.We invite you to join us to build the healthcare systems of the future together on Roatan, Honduras, a beautiful Caribbean island:Prospera Healthtech Summit, September 23-25, 2022Niklas on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NiklasAnzingerInfinita Fund Website: https://infinitafund.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Z4H6UjbubK

“As far as public health crises are concerned, monkeypox is not in the same league as Covid-19. They are entirely different. But they share a disturbing similarity- their potential to expand and help retain government power. And this seems unpreventable.” ~ Raymond J. March

Anyone who is paying attention is likely asking themselves "What should I do?" as things continue to spiral out of control. A.H. Trimble has 11 suggestions that make a lot of sense. So far, the fear and panic over monkeypox is pretty low key. Raymond J. March explains how covid and monkeypox may have significant differences but both can cause leviathan to metastasize. You know global warming must be some serious stuff when the president starts using military powers to push green energy production. Russell Cook says it's like the political class thinks it can sell global warming to eskimos. The left's hyper-focus on sexualizing children at the earliest possible age isn't just weird. It's a clear warning sign. Sheri Few spells out why leftists are fighting like mad to brainwash our children.

Adam Mills says, before you answer, you might want to ask someone who has had to face down an angry mob. If you're uncertain what unalloyed political propaganda looks like, just take a gander at the January 6 committee hearings. Julie Kelly outlines what those hearings won't be covering. If you're planning on watching the Jan 6 committee passion play, James Howard Kunstler has a sneak preview of what your show of shows will likely include. Might want to have some tissues on hand. Are woke corporations about to go broke? Doug Casey says our descent into clown world began when we started allowing government to enforce morality and customs rather than protect us from force or fraud.

“As the pandemic ends, there are plenty of frustrating examples of what went wrong. Let's hope deregulation is remembered as an example of what went right.” ~ Raymond J. March

“OWS's efforts to develop Covid-19 vaccines are often considered the crowning achievement of what went right. Unfortunately, I fear its benefits are exaggerated, and its costs are just beginning.” ~ Raymond J. March

Raymond J. March of the Independent Institute says the Covid-19 ratchet effect is becoming endemic. Biden and Trump's executive orders dwarf previous presidents. Rent moratorium, student loan moratorium and mandates are easing but will never go away completely.

“As revealed through various documents well after OWS, we know the agreements limit vaccine developers not selected for OWS from expedited clinical trials and a transparent process for authorization.” ~ Raymond J. March

"When the FDA and other agencies curtail private efforts to battle Covid-19, including limiting the use of existing and established treatments, we place our trust in less capable hands." ~ Raymond J. March

“Crises end, but newly designated powers and increased budgets governments receive throughout seldom end with them. Instead, government power exhibits a ratchet effect, never diminishing to pre-crisis levels.” ~ Raymond J. March

I happened to catch a bit of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial yesterday and accidentally witnessed one of the most stunning courtroom exchanges I've ever seen. Tucker Carlson hits the highlights in this video and it was definitely one for the history books. The vindictiveness of the prosecution is nothing short of disgraceful. It makes this trial look like anything but a quest for justice. The Rittenhouse trial is a marvelous teaching opportunity about a couple of important topics. One is the natural right of self defense. The other is need for people to take personal responsibility in protecting their communities rather than simply outsourcing this to the state. Christopher Roach has an excellent piece on the need for citizenship and courage. If you're serious about understanding how the world works, economists are your friend. For example, if Raymond J. March hadn't written about how the FDA is coming after "Smart Socks" which monitor a baby's pulse and oxygen levels while it sleeps, how would we have known about its latest crusade? For those who haven't already noticed the growing supply chain breakdowns, just give it a few more weeks. Kent McManigal rightly reminds us that the supply chain problem is a government problem. Maybe it's just a sense of weariness at the nonstop wokeness that typifies most higher education campuses but I seriously wonder why any ration person would aspire to going to college. James Bovard is a two time drop-out with a decisive answer to the question: Is college worthwhile? Perhaps it's time to call out higher education for its bad behavior. A lot of Americans are waking up to the reality that the more they have in common with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, the more they are fair game to be demonized. Steve Sailer has an excellent analysis of why core Americans are being painted as the source of all evil who must be made to pay. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

“Considering the FDA regulates nearly 40 percent of all consumer products, its recent actions are a strong cause for concern. As a health economist, I'll be monitoring the situation closely.” ~ Raymond J. March

I was very excited to read this article by Corinne Purtill on the five universal laws of human stupidity. Then I realized that my stupidity is part of the problem as well. One of the biggest challenges that any of us can take on today is to remain rooted in reality while so many people and institutions around us have become detached from it. M.E. Boyd shares some powerful insights from Solzhenitsyn and asks, "has America become a realm beyond words?" The battle between parents and bureaucrats was a deciding factor in many of the upsets that took place on election night this year. Jon Hersey makes a strong case for replacing involuntary relationships with voluntary ones. He also points out a valuable lesson that we're being taught thanks to public school pandemonium. One of the most difficult truths that must be faced in regards to the pandemic which has turned our world upside down is that we are most likely dealing with a man-made virus. Raymond J. March reminds us that the gain of function controversy demands greater scrutiny for government-funded science.

“Not every failure of government-funded science is as pervasive as the high-carb diet, as ghastly as the lobotomy, or as controversial as gain of function experiments. But the risk remains as long as the government remains a major funding source for research.” ~ Raymond J. March

Recent history is on the side of less oversight and more patient access. Giving less power to government agencies to decide which drugs are safe and effective and under what circumstances provides more freedom for doctors and drug producers to help patients. It's a literal life-or-death cause worth fighting for.

Dag and Professor March talk about the history of rent seeking in the medical establishment, specifically how the Psycology field became cartelized and mental health became public. They also discuss the history of lobotomies and how government policy prolonged the administration of these horrible procedures. fdareview.org raymond.j.march@dnsu.edu independent.org https://catalyst.independent.org/2019/08/31/how-government-prolonged-the-lobotomy/ https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3421728 This episode is sponsored by the Presearch search engine, earn crypto for searching, keyword stake and forget the usual google spies. https://presearch.org/signup?rid=1962130 As well as our other sponsor DeVault (DVT) cryptocurrency https://www.devault.cc/ Exchanges: SouthXChange: https://www.southxchange.com/Market/Book/DVT/BTC Graviex: https://graviex.net/markets/dvtbtc BlockDX https://blockdx.com/ Also check out Agorist Acres for seeds.

Dave Forsyth and Raymond J. March of The Independent Institute discuss the slow vaccine distribution. Other government blunders include slow testing approval, prioritizing TSA agents for masks, field hospitals and the drug Remdesivir distribution. Central planners are not the solution, free markets are.

Raymond J. March, director of FDAReview.org, joins me to discuss the FDA's response to the coronavirus and certain regulations that have been and still need to be removed.
