Is everyone ready to admit the military has significant influence on the lives of average Americans, yet? If not, we’re here all week. Independence Day is approaching and may be its own litmus test for whether it means anything. What may a libertarian in an influential position do? There was no real agenda for this week, so we wandered a bit.
Cleaning Up
We finally do our 2020 wrap after discussing the Governator, social media bans and more impeachment. We also offer our thoughts on how the Libertarian Party could draw from the Trump movement.
Outside the Velvet Rope
Without someone to keep him out of trouble, Michael sets himself up as an enemy of the state in this episode. First, he discusses the Assange extradition. Then, he closes with talks about the capital protests, perhaps not condemning them in the way you might expect.
No New Normal
Michael is on his own this time and starts with a couple of comparative examples illustrating the idea that governments’ primary job is to protect themselves. There is discussion of France’s global security bill and compulsory vaccination, as well as what you’re consenting to with a Health Pass. There’s also an anecdote about what the pandemic panic is doing to people.
