On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Connor O'Keeffe joins Tho to talk about last night's debate.

Nearly a quarter century after the 9-11 attacks, Americans still are fed lies about what happened. However, one thing that is obvious is that even though Saudi Arabians were involved in the hijackings, US officials are closer than ever to the Saudi government and its operatives.

As our government officials crack down on what they call "foreign disinformation," allegedly meant to influence the 2024 election, it’s worth remembering that they, too, are willing to use disinformation, not only against foreign regimes, but against Americans themselves.

Yet another discouraging trend in law in the UK, Europe, and the US has been the criminalization of what authorities call “hate speech.” However, much of what passes for such “speech” is innocuous at worst and historically has been protected.

As AI continues to develop, so does the hysteria that AI will soon take over and relegate us to a dystopian future. We need to realize that, like so many other tools, AI can have good and bad uses, but it cannot control itself.

Ryan and Tho talk about Zuckerberg's recent letter from Congress, Elon Musk's showdown in Brazil, and the growing global hostility from governments towards free speech.

Harris promises to reduce prices by printing more money, reducing competition, and attacking businesses. Welcome to the US version of Argentina's “Peronism.”

Despite all the money spent on US healthcare, an astounding number of Americans suffer from chronic illnesses. Yet the political establishment has shown no interest in even discussing the issue. It's important to understand why.

While the Harris-Walz campaign doesn't publicize the candidates’ records on the Covid-19 lockdowns and mask mandates, voters should know what they did. Not only did the lockdowns create massive economic damage, but they led to many more deaths than lives saved.

Neither the Trump nor the Harris proposals indicate they have any idea of how to deal with stagflation. Instead, they call for more government intervention—Trump for tariffs and Harris for more individual and business taxes and for energy policies. Woe be to us!
