Candace Owens recently challenged Ben Shapiro to debate the definition of antisemitism. I review some interesting information regarding this definition and consider how we might best approach any slurs against a people.

Nietzsche once stated 'God is dead.' In this morning's episode, I use the same line to offer internal criticism but also a glimmer of hope.

On today's stream, I discuss Charlie Kirk's comments about 30-somethings women, answer a reddit AITA question, respond to a landlord hater, and discuss two issues of private property (one here, one England).

I saw that Mark Cuban was at it again with DEI. This time, he suggests changing words is what is necessary rather than discarding a process antithetical to human behavior. In this episode, we heavily use an essay from economist George Reisman to combat the insidious nature of equity and equality.

Much of today's consternation--or shall we say, panic--is just a repeat of yesterday, unfamiliarity with the evidence, or ignoring the obvious. Join me as I discuss Don Lemon and Musk, American unhappiness, and immigration fear porn.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman recently ruled that banning illegal immigrants from owning a firearm violates the Second Amendment. During this episode I'll review her decision and discuss why a a restriction on firearms for illegal immigrants is not a libertarian position, a constitutional one, or even practical.

It's once again bill review Monday! Today I look into Delaware's HB 346 by DeShanna Neal. While I usually focus entirely on the bill, I step away to put question to Representative Neal's motives and even whether she ought be championing such a bill.

Wasted vote... not the right time... this election is too important (or my favorite, this is the most important election in our lifetime). Blah, blah, blah. Let's address some of these criticisms.

In the latest effort to ban things, Congressional member Mike Gallagher has introduced HR 7521 - Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. But does it really protect American privacy? DL discusses.

Today, I discuss lessons learned from my own recent drama, a clip of Angela (the LNC Chair) regarding RFK seeking the Libertarian nomination, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and a little something interesting from Jacksonville's Mayor Deegan.

Former Congressman Justin Amash recently announced he was running for Senate, as a Republican. Being a member of the Libertarian Party and a long time libertarian, this brought the issue of whether the Libertarian Party should run candidates against a so-called liberty Republican. I explore this issue and offer my thoughts on the best strategy for the party.

Republicans sure do love forwarding bills in favor of the police. This episode reviews not one... not two... and not even three bills, but FIVE bills that favor the police at the expense of citizens.

Not feeling well, I was about to cancel my stream this morning. But while scrolling through Twitter I came across a disturbing video of a mom physically disciplining her son. And since I am the official LibertyDad, and I have some thoughts, I pulled myself together for a show.

Ever watch congressional hearings? Turns out there's a LOT of grandstanding by members of congress.
