Here are some excerpts from February 25’s show. In the first excerpt I talk about what a stud Governor Gary Johnson is, how our power elite is more aligned with the international power elite than with us citizens, and that no matter how greedy business is, government gives them the weapons to exploit us. (Toward (more…)
This is the video from yesterday’s Ron Paul Rally in Marietta Georgia. It was a great day. Ron Paul supporters are so cool: enthusiastic, nice, mellow–it was just awesome. At around 18:30 in this video I tell the story of my becoming aware of Ron Paul complete with a little imitation of my mother… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE6h6XTwqUU&feature=related]
I had the pleasure of interviewing Governor Gary Johnson last week in studio. Governor Johnson was a two-term governor of New Mexico and is now running for the Libertarian nomination for President. I played excerpts from the interview on my show Saturday, but here is the whole thing: governor_johnson pt 1 governor_johnson pt 2
My favorite moment in the debate was when John King asked Ron Paul why he called Rick Santorum a fake and Ron Paul looks into the camera, cute as a button, and says, “Cause he’s a fake!” It was downhill from there for Santorum. In case you need some evidence that Santorum is a fake, (more…)
I have been noticing increasing incidents of government overreach, government abuse of power and even witch-hunts through which the government goes after people for political reasons. In this podcast I touch on a few recent examples. Please comment or email me with more as you notice them. I’d like to make this a regular part (more…)
It was my GREAT pleasure last week to be an in-studio guest of Alan Butler and Jason Riddle on Bloomberg Radio’s Butler on Business. They have posted the audio on their website if you care to listen: Monica Perez explains what it means to go the “Full Rothbard”
On the show yesterday I played four clips. Here they are. The first video shows Santorum saying how much he dislikes and works against Libertarian tendencies and Tea Party influence in the Republican Party, the second clip is more freedom-bashing as called-out by the Great Judge Napolitano on Freedom Watch, and the third and fourth clips come from the last video (Santorum’s CPAC speech) where he claims to love freedom and be a Tea Partier! Isn’t

I have been fascinated by the grotesque disregard for human life the ATF showed in executing Operation Fast & Furious, and am further amazed that this is not blowing up like Iran-Contra. I read the Wall Street Journal cover to cover each day and rarely see even a mention of this shocking scandal. What’s worse is the self-righteous arrogance with which Attorney General Eric Holder treats Congress–it’s downright shocking! The media has the power to expose this sick operation but simply is not making it a top story.
There was an article this weekend in the Wall Street Journal called It’s Too Easy Being Green, by David Owen. Here’s the letter I wrote to the editor in response–maybe they’ll publish it, maybe they won’t, but in any case, I can share it here.
Dear Sir:
David Owen, in his article, It’s Too Easy Being Green, points out the paradox of trying to be green in a consumption-driven world and cites the ease and push to consume as the real problem. I agree with Mr. Owen that over-consumption is a problem (though my concern is more for the wasteful and rapid use of finite resources than fear of global warming.) In any case, Mr. Owen failed to cite the real reason driving and flying are so cheap, and why fuel itself is so affordable: government policy.
