What Then Must We Do?

Back in 2021, pub-owner Rod Humphris gained notoriety for throwing (then Labour leader) Keir Starmer out of his pub in Bath, England. When I spoke with Humphris in the fall of 2024, he said that he was mourning for what Britain had once been, and he did not see things getting better any time soon. Nearly two years later, things are much much worse... and Humphris is much much more optimistic. Why? In this heartfelt conversation, Humphris talks about what has changed for him—and what he ...

Tom Luongo likes to pull on threads. He keeps pulling no matter where they take him, even they lead places that challenge some of the most deeply held convictions of libertarians. In this episode, we talk (again) about Tom's view that – in this particular moment in time – we might want to be cheering for the US Federal Reserve, because it could be that it is fighting a beast that is much bigger, more dangerous, and has the potential to centralize power over our lives in ways that even the Fe...

In this episode, I speak with economist Dale Steinreich about our dysfunctional health-care system (in the US), and about health insurance in particular. What is wrong with health insurance? Why does it so often seem to operate against the interests of its consumers, rather than for their benefit? Does this represent some kind of failure of the free market? Or is something else at work here? We go into the nature of health "insurance" in an interventionist marketplace, and the history of ho...

I speak with independent journalist Jeremy Hammond, about the upcoming presidential elections, and about the nature of voting, and of the state, generally. Is it more responsible to refrain from participating in an illegitimate system founded on coercion? Or should we strive to make things better by choosing the lesser of two evils? Jeremy is the author of several books, including Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, and The War on Informed Consent: The ...

What is "fiat science"? It's what you get when the state creates a lot of money out of thin air, then hands out bunches of it to scientific establishments, where decisions are made not on the basis of market forces, but on the basis of political ones. I speak with genetics expert and founder and CSO of Medicinal Genomics, Kevin McKernan, about why fiat science is a problem, the utter failure of the regulatory state, what needs to change – and what is starting to change. If you're still...

Rebecca Charles' daughter Danielle had a slight cough, fever and pulse-ox reading of 88 when she walked into the hospital on August 27th, 2021. Hospital staff then spent 40 days administering hospital protocols that Rebecca says resulted in her death, at 28 years of age. Danielle had special needs, and had had someone with her at all times during her life. In the hospital, she was isolated, forcibly restrained, deprived of food, and prohibited from seeing her mother. Rebecca has filed a ma...

I’ve posted before about efforts to create “safe” blood supplies and networks, for those of us who don’t want to risk being exposed to the mRNA product in the event that we may need a blood transfusion. The missing piece – until now – has been that none of these networks are able to provide blood in cases of emergency, when it is needed immediately. That is about to change. In this episode, I speak with fellow Kentuckian, nurse, and founder of WeAreTheControlGroup, Sierra Hamm, about a new ...

I speak with Samuel Bornman, author of "Of Wizards and Warriors", the first in a fantasy adventure series written from a Christian perspective, with boys in mind. We talk about what boys need from fiction that they're not getting, some of the problems with modern children's literature, transhumanism and our relationship with technology, and why Samuel has had trouble getting his book into Christian bookstores. You can find "Of Wizards and Warriors" on Amazon. Samuel writes on Substack, here...
