get started about the the I I am used to
07:23
having notes before we get used to the
07:25
Midwest peace and liberty festival
07:27
before we start talking about that I
07:29
just want to ask you because I don’t
07:31
think I really we talked about this
07:32
before
07:33
one was cuz I like when you looking back
07:35
at your old post when you were a
07:38
constitutionalist and you would say
07:39
things like you know everything we need
07:41
is right there in the Constitution what
07:45
was actually going I thought that
07:47
disappeared when I got promos upped
07:49
because I had a post like that and that
07:52
was from back around 2010-2011 yeah so I
07:58
think what I was doing was I was
08:01
paraphrasing so parents aren’t real
08:04
smart they can’t carry on conversations
08:06
all they can do is repeat stuff and
08:08
quite frankly most of the people as far
08:11
as their political stances go they don’t
08:13
have any hard core beliefs they have
08:16
stuff that their tribe says that they
08:18
repeat like followed the Constitution
08:23
yes we don’t need more laws we already
08:26
have a great law it’s called the
08:27
Constitution and it’s got all the
08:30
vitamins and minerals in it that we need
08:31
it’s got all the restraints it does it
08:35
does what we need it to do and blah blah
08:37
blah so really what got me out of that
08:42
was when I read the Constitution that’s
08:46
interesting that was a big one when I
08:48
read when I didn’t just read the Bill of
08:50
Rights but I actually read the first
08:52
was it seven articles I thought oh wow
08:54
this is not it’s not very free to me at
08:56
all yeah well most of the
09:00
self-proclaimed constitutionalists out
09:02
there and I can’t even tell you how many
09:04
I run into that admit that they’ve never
09:06
read the Constitution now they like the
09:10
idea but they like what it envisions and
09:14
some of them maybe they tried to read it
09:16
and they went through like the the first
09:18
seven you know they went into the into
09:21
the it’s not the preamble I was gonna
09:23
say the analog yeah yeah fictional book
09:26
fiction already has prologue so anyway
09:29
so they they go to the preamble and they
09:32
say we the people ah that means that we
09:34
did it collectively jointly together you
09:37
know it was never we the people because
09:39
well none of us were alive back then and
09:41
all our stuff so once you get past that
09:47
big nonsense and then also I learned I
09:49
read some things that were critical of
09:52
the Constitution and I learned that you
09:54
know much to my surprise that the
09:56
Constitution wasn’t something that they
09:58
came out of the hall the convention hall
10:02
in 1787 for the for the coup for the
10:05
conservative counter-revolution and
10:07
people cheered and azar stuff and they
10:09
said yeah yeah yeah and in some wait he
10:12
says uh Franklin well what form of
10:15
government have you given us sir a
10:17
republic if you can keep it if you can
10:20
keep it and yeah and interestingly
10:23
enough there’s no actual evidence that
10:25
he said that and there’s no mention of
10:27
it until like several years later in the
10:30
person who who really made it popular
10:33
claims that he or heard it but nobody
10:36
had ever said anything about it for like
10:37
the first 50 years whatever but there’s
10:40
no one mention it’s a lot like I
10:41
remember fifty years ago so that’s fine
10:45
yes so it’s it’s it’s it’s a founding
10:47
father fan thing yeah yeah it’s it’s the
10:51
it’s a religiosity that goes along with
10:53
with statism it’s it’s like the the high
10:57
school reputation because there’s always
10:59
a girl they had to move away because she
11:01
did something embarrassing that evolved
11:04
going to the doctor to have her
11:05
moved in and because she’d moved away
11:08
everybody just said oh well that’s what
11:10
happened well whether it did or not and
11:12
it probably didn’t but I mean the bottom
11:15
line is people make stuff up and in
11:17
legends are are born and like you were
11:20
equating the founding of the
11:22
Constitution with an abortion
11:23
I actually I think I might use that in
11:26
the future that’s a actually I wasn’t I
11:30
wasn’t thinking abortion I was thinking
11:32
of well I’ll tell you afterwards but
11:34
it’s it’s it’s it is it’s much more
11:37
disgusting okay
11:38
all right well then oh then I’ll just
11:40
keep thinking abortion for now we get a
11:42
comment Justin Turner says well the
11:45
country ever come together and realize
11:46
that you and I are the right ones one
11:49
would hope but but no we don’t even put
11:53
off is that I don’t let’s start with the
11:57
guests let’s start with making the
11:58
guests realize that I’m right when they
12:00
one step at a time what forget the
12:01
guests first up the guests and then then
12:05
we go on to the world from there so yeah
12:08
I I’m where you were I am the more I it
12:13
was people like you that we’re saying
12:15
have you read the Constitution I’m like
12:16
yeah of course I have all ten amendments
12:20
bro yeah so so what happens is somebody
12:24
will go and they’ll they’ll get the
12:26
Constitution and they’ll be reading the
12:28
preamble We the People to make the more
12:31
perfect union
12:31
all right right that sounds pretty good
12:33
at least yes articles general welfare
12:35
well the a circular an article one is
12:38
not really exciting so they’re like I’m
12:41
gonna skip us I’m gonna skip ahead and
12:42
see how this see if it gets any better
12:44
so they’re going through a vertical one
12:46
and they’re not even article one section
12:48
eight yet where it says that the
12:51
Congress has the power of unlimited
12:52
taxation national debt interfering with
12:54
Commerce make all laws necessary and
12:57
proper to ensure a proper welfare state
13:00
so they don’t go through that they just
13:04
look at article one like huh too long
13:06
didn’t read at least yeah yeah yeah
13:10
they’re like let’s get to that second
13:11
amendment yeah yes so but a new much
13:16
second amendment cuz that would be
13:17
reckless
13:18
well you know
13:19
you’re gonna have a second amendment you
13:20
have to do with the legal way um the
13:22
then there’s the so then there’s of
13:24
course the habeas corpus clause which
13:26
basically says government can suspend
13:28
habeas corpus if and it gives all this
13:31
weasel wording for all the different
13:32
reasons ways that it can kidnap and
13:36
murder you without even having a stated
13:38
reason as long as it’s added during the
13:39
time of war rebellion or crisis or and
13:42
then even leaves any any conditions that
13:45
may require it meaning like if the
13:47
government decides that the government
13:48
needs to do this to you
13:50
that’s fine which is why the the NDAA s
13:54
that you know allowed Obama and now
13:56
Trump to indefinitely hold American
13:59
citizens without a warrant it was ruled
14:01
constitutional right cuz it he yes well
14:04
it comes from article 1 section 9 Clause
14:07
2 so the Congress has the power to
14:09
suspend the privilege not to write the
14:12
privilege religious corpus in in time of
14:15
the foreign invasion or domestic
14:17
rebellion whenever the public safety may
14:20
require it may require up yeah I’m not
14:23
using notes either here so who who is it
14:26
that but I’m pretty darn close I may
14:28
have been off by like a comma or
14:29
something like that may require it’s the
14:31
big part yeah so who who determines
14:36
that’s rebellion so Congress has the
14:37
power to determine that that there is a
14:39
rebellion so if people tried to alter or
14:42
abolish the form of government when it
14:44
becomes tyrannical right away from the
14:46
Declaration of Independence if they try
14:48
to do that that’s considered a rebellion
14:51
and in that case the privilege of the
14:54
writ of habeas corpus gives can be
14:57
suspended right so all it takes is the
15:00
interpretation of Congress creditors to
15:02
say yep we’re at a point to where we
15:04
need to do this because public safety
15:08
and the oversight is from them so it’s
15:12
sort of like when you know the police
15:13
kill someone and then the police get
15:16
together and decide that the police
15:17
really needed to kill that guy and it
15:20
just you know couldn’t be avoided as you
15:22
said yeah it’s exact same thing with the
15:24
same oversight whenever you see a
15:27
picture of the Supreme Court you should
15:29
just have the caption the government
15:31
investigated itself and found
15:33
did nothing wrong or so they were though
15:37
sometimes throw us a bone and go you
15:40
know that thing that happened 50 years
15:41
ago we’re super sorry about that and
15:44
here’s some money that we’re gonna Rob
15:47
from you and give back to the survivors
15:50
to make up for it aren’t we great and
15:53
progressive but like in terms of what’s
15:54
happening right now they’re like no no
15:57
no that’s all fine and and we’re gonna
15:59
lock up anyone is even you know leaking
16:01
that this is happening because of course
16:03
it’s fine it’s fine but we also don’t
16:05
want you to know and and you know we’ll
16:07
cage anyone who tries to kidnap anyone
16:10
that tries to tell you so so yeah and of
16:13
course Joe Patriot that thinks with this
16:15
flag instead of his brain he’ll he’ll
16:17
say something like well our government
16:19
would never do that or our military
16:21
would never would never take up arms
16:23
against the citizenry and then when you
16:25
point out that they did that to their
16:27
fellow veterans during the Bonus Army
16:29
protests and as a matter of fact who was
16:33
a General MacArthur was part of that and
16:35
not eisenhower I think Patton was
16:38
involved so they’ll say that our
16:41
military would never do that you point
16:42
out that that they did it and then
16:44
reflexively without even a thought to
16:46
say well that was different or they they
16:50
probably had a good reason for it so
16:52
that so so they would say that quicker
16:54
than I did but that wasn’t real
16:56
constitutionalism yeah that wasn’t real
16:58
the army not doing that yeah so so
17:01
really when you look at when you look at
17:03
the Constitution and you everybody has
17:07
this cartoon version of it that they’re
17:09
just repeating that it’s this thing
17:10
about freedom if you read the seven
17:12
articles you don’t see a lot of freedom
17:13
in there you have the ten amendments
17:15
that were a pacifier to keep the
17:18
anti-federalist and pretty much a
17:19
general population from from launching a
17:23
second American Revolution and writing
17:25
down the coup so I as a matter of fact
17:27
the the Constitution was so unpopular
17:30
had it gone to a vote across the country
17:33
had we the people decided all right with
17:36
that with a ballot it would have got
17:38
killed big time the only place that went
17:40
to a vote of the plebiscite meaning the
17:42
general voting public was in the state
17:44
of Rhode Island wrote
17:46
where he was killed 11 to 1 they didn’t
17:51
measure that emotional studies no and no
17:54
they told you that co2 aka plant food is
17:56
bad but the Rhode Island was also the
18:00
last state to join the union and they
18:02
basically did it
18:03
Don Hamel Tony basically told them hey
18:07
you’re gonna join our little association
18:10
here or it might be a shame if your
18:12
windows got broken out or your place got
18:14
put out fire if something’s gonna happen
18:17
to this place yeah yeah so basically
18:19
they get threatening into it you know
18:21
because domestic security or some crap
18:24
but if you just look at the difference
18:26
in the in the language that’s used the
18:28
the conservative counter-revolutions
18:31
says that in times of rebellion the
18:33
military may be used to put down
18:34
rebellion it also defines that rebellion
18:37
is it can define it as treason as says
18:40
that those people don’t deserve a trial
18:42
or to head their grievances heard even
18:45
though you know you got that stupid
18:46
First Amendment but the language of the
18:48
Declaration of Independence the radicals
18:51
decided that in government government
18:54
becomes tyrannical is right of the
18:56
people to alter or abolish it so just
19:01
just look at the difference there well
19:03
and I mean these are the same I mean
19:05
everyone loves the tree of liberty quote
19:07
unless it’s actually applied to police
19:11
officers or you know you know anyone who
19:13
actually would read on you you know as
19:16
when used against with that do you know
19:19
the origins of that quote the tree and
19:21
for those who don’t know that the tree
19:22
of LeWitt says the tree of liberty
19:24
should be refreshed from time to time
19:26
again no notes refresh from time to time
19:28
with the blood of patriots and tyrants
19:30
it’s it’s natural fertilizer or
19:32
something like that
19:33
meaning sometimes Liberty will have to
19:35
be refreshed by killing people that are
19:37
trying to keep you from being free
19:39
anyways go ahead with the so I don’t
19:41
know I don’t know the background now I
19:43
don’t remember who the letter was to but
19:46
Jefferson was in France at the time as
19:49
an ambassador and so no most view
19:52
constitution lickers Jefferson was not a
19:54
part of the Constitutional Convention
19:56
the writing or any of that crap because
19:58
he was out of the country
19:59
had he been in the country he probably
20:01
would have talked it people into into
20:04
burning the conspirators but anyhow so
20:07
he was he was awaiting his copy the
20:10
Constitution he had not seen it yet and
20:11
he says well I’m sure that there are
20:14
probably some good parts in there but
20:16
I’m sure that there are also some really
20:17
bad ones and the reason for the
20:21
Constitution the the reason that the
20:24
Conservatives said that they need a new
20:26
central government was because of Shay’s
20:29
so-called rebellion I the the amount of
20:32
violence that that happened in Shay’s
20:35
rebellion I need on both sides I think
20:37
that I think the death toll was lower
20:39
than after like most major sporting
20:42
championship games Soho sign there
20:46
there’s much less destruction than when
20:48
Detroit sports team wins a championship
20:51
it’s really the Lions because they don’t
20:54
win championships I was gonna say I was
20:56
gonna say do we have any recent
20:58
empirical evidence for this yeah
21:01
well the the Tigers did pretty good the
21:04
the Red Wings were very good for quite a
21:06
long time and the Pistons were pretty
21:08
good too they had some back to back
21:10
stuff but anyway so you didn’t what you
21:13
had was you had a lot of protesting and
21:15
but all that was going on was they were
21:17
going into these court proceedings where
21:20
property was being foreclosed upon and
21:22
they were disrupting the proceedings so
21:25
they were shouting shouting people down
21:29
they were also calling for points of
21:31
order and stuff like that sign they’re
21:33
they’re trying to be heard and they were
21:35
nonviolent about it but the thing is the
21:38
the Massachusetts state government tried
21:40
to expedite the the payment of the war
21:43
debt so they why the accelerated
21:46
repayment of it but they also wanted it
21:50
to be paid in specie so it had be in
21:52
silver now out in the western frontier
21:54
there was no sir silver available and
21:56
they should have been asking for moon
21:57
rocks or unicorn tusks right because it
22:00
just didn’t exist so what you had was a
22:03
clear case of of taxation without
22:05
representation because of the people out
22:07
in the frontier they weren’t being
22:09
represented right now they were getting
22:11
trounced on by by Boston where the
22:13
where the majority of the population was
22:15
yeah they it was just like any big city
22:18
that dominates a mostly rural state
22:22
right right right but they they weren’t
22:24
even protesting against paying taxes
22:26
they were protesting it against the
22:28
provisions of it
22:29
so it’s not like they’re a bunch of
22:31
aggregates out there saying taxation was
22:33
theft and and you know alter and abolish
22:36
you guys know they were just they were
22:39
just saying we can’t pay you let us pay
22:42
you in a way that we could you know we
22:44
can give you
22:45
I don’t Buffalo pelts or you know
22:47
something like that like there’s not I
22:49
mean what-what would did they have gold
22:51
out there yet or that was before the the
22:52
gold strikes I well the gold was in the
22:56
new world for quite a long time whether
22:58
whether it was circulated in really
23:01
large amounts back then I don’t I don’t
23:04
really know yeah but how they obviously
23:06
had some medium to trade with so why not
23:09
accept that because they didn’t want
23:11
that in Boston so yeah well the thing is
23:13
they couldn’t use like the the script
23:16
that was that was being used so I know a
23:20
lot of cases they were bartering and and
23:22
and just like with the whiskey rebellion
23:24
there was a shortage of specie out in
23:27
out in western Pennsylvania and whiskey
23:30
was used as a currency right I mean you
23:32
gotta remember it wasn’t for most of
23:34
probably a good portion of the 1800s
23:36
there wasn’t an actual real currency I
23:40
don’t write a US dollar right right
23:42
right right
23:42
so that’s that something came about
23:44
later
23:45
yeah the greenbacks that were pretty
23:46
short-lived you had the Continental that
23:48
was that made the Zimbabwe dollar look
23:51
like nothing but the but the big thing
23:53
is I just started learning a little bit
23:56
about history I worked a lot about
23:57
economics and also a bless me Father for
24:01
I have sinned
24:02
it’s been several years I’ve been
24:04
engaged in the political process but I
24:06
worked on a congressional campaign and
24:10
when I joined that campaign as a holy
24:13
cow I guess I’m just gonna have to read
24:15
this constitution through and through
24:17
and and I was one of those guys I read
24:19
today I’m like oh my god falling asleep
24:22
here right sorry no but I forced myself
24:26
to read
24:27
all the junk that’s in there it’s like
24:29
where’s where’s all this Liberty people
24:32
are talking about right so obviously
24:34
obviously it’s the people that have only
24:36
read the Bill of Rights and they just
24:39
assume that everything else is Chuck
24:41
full yet goodness but I think the North
24:43
Korean Constitution has a Bill of Rights
24:45
in it yeah chapter 5 is their
24:47
fundamental rights and duties article
24:49
sixties having guarantees freedom of
24:51
speech the press assembly political
24:55
demonstration and and says that the
24:57
state has to has to allow peep everybody
25:00
into the political process and article
25:02
68 freedom of religion sign between
25:05
those two articles you got the yet the
25:06
First Amendment I remember reading at
25:10
maybe it was you that sent it to me
25:11
someone sent me a list of a link to the
25:14
North Korean Constitution their part
25:16
with what their human being or whatever
25:18
they call it yeah I was probably you
25:20
someone you were someone level a new
25:22
people fundamental um and it was like we
25:25
mean reading it you know you upper-upper
25:31
you use southern Canadians um but I read
25:35
it and I’m like this actually in any way
25:38
sounds better than the Bill of Rights
25:39
which just shows how worthless is you
25:42
have people that are eating tree bark to
25:44
survive and if they try to leave they
25:46
get shot but you know but they got this
25:47
piece of paper that says that whether
25:51
they’re even allowed to read it or not
25:52
that says they have all these rights
25:53
guaranteed by the government you know I
25:56
guess they’re just not doing it right
25:57
it’s not real North Korean that rely on
26:00
several Constitution yeah not real
26:02
Constitution yeah so so yeah so that’s
26:05
so that’s interesting so so you did the
26:08
Congressional Campaign read the
26:10
Constitution and then you’re like okay
26:12
this is I don’t think I agree with this
26:15
well it was a little bit more than that
26:17
the the candidate was co-opted but I
26:21
think before he had he had even won the
26:26
primary I think I think he was
26:30
definitely co-opted before he even won
26:31
the election he was John Bainer smoking
26:34
buddy early on before the election had
26:37
even happened okay so so I watch this
26:40
guy
26:41
just basically go from Anakin to Darth
26:44
and he was one of these round call Ron
26:46
Paul guys but but like a lot of the Ron
26:48
Paul candidates he was he was more
26:51
saying what he needed to say and it
26:53
wasn’t an actual reflection of true
26:57
conviction it was well I believe this
27:00
you know freedom is important so long as
27:02
it’s done illegally as long as it
27:03
doesn’t interfere with with the safety
27:05
of others and blah blah blah rights just
27:07
all the not specific goes along with it
27:09
so after he won I got the job offer and
27:13
rather than joining up I says I’m going
27:18
to have to respectfully decline thank
27:20
you very much good luck to you
27:22

tell us about how did this get started
29:25
like what what got you started with the
29:27
Midwest peace and liberty festival oh
29:30
gosh this is really a it’s it’s almost
29:35
storybook to tell it and and its origin
29:39
started out before I became involved
29:41
with the group but there were a handful
29:43
of people that they were the the early
29:46
membership of the Michigan peace of
29:48
Liberty coalition and they were sitting
29:51
around together and like January or
29:53
February of I think 2013 in somebody’s
29:58
living room huddling for warmth and
30:00
everything because it’s Michigan and
30:02
there’s thing they’re saying yeah what
30:05
we should go camping this summer yeah
30:07
that sounds like a great idea and they
30:09
talked about it a little bit and
30:11
eventually they’re like well you know
30:12
what let’s listen find a bunch of people
30:14
ask as many people as we can and it got
30:17
turned into a Facebook of that and I was
30:20
at this time I was a pretty much
30:23
newly minted anarchy is still trying to
30:24
find out where I was and everything and
30:26
I was even a radio show host yet a
30:28
matter of fact I wasn’t even a blogger
30:30
yet I think I was the I was the admin
30:35
for the freedom fiends Facebook page so
30:38
basically yeah so basically I would post
30:40
memes and then sweep up after they did
30:42
the shows so anyway you were what what
30:46
Matt and I need and Jason need for
30:48
muddied waters just like a lackey like
30:50
please do this cuz because we don’t feel
30:53
like doing this yeah my Lackey time is
30:56
is in the past um no no I didn’t mean
30:58
you I’m a tweet but we need we call oh
31:01
yeah I need someone no I mean you should
31:03
do this for us I’ve said we need someone
31:06
like that so if anyone out there would
31:08
like to be a lackey unpaid also unpaved
31:11
Lackey um be sure to hit us up in the in
31:14
the slide into our messages and we will
31:17
we will hook you up immediately so the
31:19
way yeah well what you just did I heard
31:22
an advertisement on the the freedom
31:24
fiends for an unpaid Facebook admin and
31:27
I’d never add mundane pages before but
31:29
I’m like I was so I was on the podcast
31:31
and and I’ve got a pretty good meme
31:33
stash I could do this
31:34
so I said Michael a message in and he
31:38
got me set up on there and I started
31:41
making posts and everything else and and
31:43
I basically took ownership of the
31:46
freedom fiends page mm-hmm so I would I
31:48
would promote shows and everything else
31:50
and write and also post stuff that I
31:52
wanted to post but it worked out for you
31:55
so they they did what they called fiend
31:56
sourcing so they think they made a call
31:59
to action to their to their Westerners I
32:02
answered the call and eventually Michael
32:05
asked me if I want to be a blogger
32:06
that’s pretty popular my satire posts
32:08
were the best ones so I did a little bit
32:12
then I also did a little bit libertarian
32:14
stuff and then eventually when the first
32:17
Midwest piece of Liberty fest happened I
32:19
did part of the live report the feet on
32:23
the field report so okay so been stoned
32:27
the bad Quaker of backpacker calm he
32:30
came up with his wife and and his dog
32:33
and solving mysteries along the way
32:36
and we did a broadcast for Beth its
32:39
camper so we called in to the freedom
32:43
fiends and and did a little broadcast on
32:45
their live from the event
32:47
cool cool so that was the first year
32:49
yeah and then later a couple months
32:52
later I think it was Michael sent me a
32:54
microphone and said here do something
32:56
with this and and I wanna I wound up
32:59
doing my doing my own show or going on
33:05
going on the freedom fiends and then now
33:06
I have my own show the the Lou Sanders
33:09
show that I’m the absentee landlord of
33:11
because I would put out any episodes in
33:13
a while anything but you put up the ad
33:16
for the festival so why was last month
33:19
while supposed to some guest appearances
33:21
too but and that’s true that’s true so
33:23
going back to the original story of how
33:26
we got started so I see I see this post
33:28
I’m sitting in my apartment yeah I’m
33:29
like oh man I wonder if these anarchists
33:33
out there on Facebook or real or if
33:34
they’re just like government agents
33:35
trolling and trying to bust me you know
33:38
cuz I mean there’s there’s an awful lot
33:39
of government agents out there just
33:40
looking for me so anyway just after you
33:44
yeah yeah because I’ve been libertarian
33:46
for like a whole 30 minutes now so as
33:48
they were onto me at like 29 minutes ago
33:52
but anyway so I I see this event and I’m
33:55
like hey this is pretty cool cuz I paint
33:58
somewhat local page has shared it so I
34:01
clicked yes I’m going I posted in there
34:03
it says this sounds great I can’t wait
34:05
to go I’m so excited but stuff like that
34:07
and a couple minutes later I got friend
34:10
requests from a couple of the organizers
34:12
who were also founders of the Michigan
34:15
peace Liberty coalition and I got
34:16
invited out to some of the meetups so
34:19
they’d have like at least one sometimes
34:21
two monthly meetups and just discuss
34:24
what about the roads and in all these
34:27
different subjects but it was also into
34:29
Somalia yeah but it was also
34:32
okay what can we do to get more freedom
34:34
one guy was doing a presentation on
34:35
Bitcoin that was the first meetup I went
34:37
to and Bitcoin was still pretty new at
34:39
the time so most of people there didn’t
34:42
know a whole lot about it but this guy
34:44
was out I’m out in front on it so I
34:47
thought that was pretty interesting I
34:49
got a chance to meet these
34:50
these people that I was Facebook friends
34:53
with but I’d never met in real life
34:54
before and it was really good time but
34:58
like the first meetup I was invited to I
35:02
it at I may have had some stuff going on
35:04
but I may have been a little bit lazy
35:06
and to be honest wasn’t when I heard
35:10
about the fastest yeah this is gonna be
35:11
great it’s gonna be great
35:12
but I probably would have backed out
35:15
because a lot of people they they get
35:17
really excited about an idea of doing
35:19
something but what comes it’s time to do
35:20
it like go camping for a weekend and
35:22
having fun
35:23
for some reason they they get a little
35:25
bit funky and they they back out of it
35:26
they find excuses not to do these things
35:29
and then they complain that there’s
35:30
nothing to do there they’re Antico
35:33
agoraphobics right like there’s you mean
35:36
outside with people no I’m on Mikhail’s
35:39
there well it’s it’s not just ank you
35:42
said this is really a common trend of
35:46
people that they always find a reason to
35:49
back out of stuff at the last minute so
35:51
it is like when there’s a Facebook event
35:53
and you see 1,000 people have have
35:56
answered that yes they’re going you know
36:00
that basically one up 100 might show up
36:03
right right right right
36:05
so in quite frankly I would have found
36:08
some I probably found some BS excuse not
36:10
to go but by that time I was so involved
36:13
with the group because I mean we’re
36:14
getting together like almost every
36:16
weekend and doing stuff so I we’d have
36:19
our meet us but we’d also have camp outs
36:21
in people’s backyards and what I really
36:24
liked about it was you had this this
36:27
family environment and it was it was all
36:30
based on the principles of anarchism
36:32
some bacon and bacon
36:35
lotsa bacon so this year’s was gonna
36:38
call it the bacon fest what we called
36:40
the bacon fest the Midwest bacon and
36:41
bacon fest um so besides the bacon which
36:45
by the way we’re not joking when we say
36:47
that there’s an ungodly amount of pork
36:50
products being consumed meat in general
36:51
being consumed that these things would
36:54
the the fully what is it a full capacity
36:56
assault kitchen yes yes it’s got the
37:00
bump stock it’s got the shoulder thing
37:02
that goes up
37:04
and make it real murdery um they say
37:08
magazine release yeah so besides the
37:12
bacon tell us about what’s gonna be at
37:14
this at this festival this year I there
37:17
was a mention of the school sucks guy
37:19
which I thought was funny but but tells
37:21
some of the speakers and things tell us
37:23
about what’s going on at this festival
37:24
are you familiar with school sucks
37:26
I’ve heard of it but I’ve never is it
37:29
like school sucks calm school sex school
37:34
sex project people don’t use web
37:36
addresses anymore they just basically do
37:38
hazel searches yeah sorry if he plays
37:40
school sex podcast your school sucks
37:42
project
37:43
brett-brett story is pretty interesting
37:45
he went to school to become a teacher
37:47
and he went through school and and I
37:51
think he may have done a year or two of
37:53
actual teaching but he got a look at
37:56
what was going on in the schools and
37:57
then he was also a big fan of John
38:00
Taylor Gatto so Gatto was the guy that
38:04
spent 30-some years in the New York
38:06
public school system right a Teacher of
38:09
the Year a couple times and he basically
38:11
blew the whistle on how it’s just a big
38:13
giant indoctrination program yeah it’s a
38:15
big mess
38:16
right yeah well not so much the
38:18
indoctrination but the but but the
38:19
crappy education that kids get out of it
38:22
right so Brett he he left being he left
38:27
like regular teaching and got involved
38:29
in other types of things so I think he
38:31
did some tutoring and but he also
38:34
watched a school sucks project and it’s
38:37
about alternatives to the mainline
38:41
school system because I mean even the
38:43
even the private schools and in the
38:46
parochial schools they still follow a
38:48
lot of the government model so yeah what
38:51
well and and and even if they’re not
38:52
using you know the federal No Child Left
38:54
Behind standard or whatever they’re
38:56
still using the Prussian school model
38:58
that was designed to make you know
39:00
factory workers and soldiers like I mean
39:03
it’s not a it’s not a model for people
39:06
to expand their their minds and horizons
39:08
it’s about teaching them to become
39:10
compliant and you know Pavlov’s dogs
39:12
responses to bells and stuff like that
39:15
so I mean it’s it schools the school
39:18
unless you’re talking like a Montessori
39:20
or one of these other where they’re
39:21
using a completely different model
39:23
schools are schools yeah they want they
39:26
want people that are smart enough to
39:27
pull the trigger but not but not smart
39:30
enough to ask why to ask white right
39:31
exactly exactly so so so that’s
39:35
historian in nutshell so if you go to
39:37
school sucks podcasts and was so that
39:39
there’s a lot of great stuff on it
39:41
I barely caught a drop in the bucket of
39:44
it but I mean there’s some real good
39:46
stuff on there and and brett has some
39:48
pretty good conversations with people as
39:51
a matter of fact there was one that I’ve
39:53
been meaning to listening to one series
39:55
they did on procrastination and well you
40:01
know seriously I seriously do want to
40:03
listen to I just haven’t gotten around
40:04
to it
40:05
yeah he did one about echinacea but I
40:07
just keep forgetting to anyway I okay
40:14
anyway so uh cool so it and so who so
40:18
what are the other types of people that
40:20
are that are gonna be on there who else
40:21
he had booked for okay so so we had prop
40:24
CJ and CJ is from the dangerous pisser
40:28
dangerous history podcasts hmm and I
40:32
love that that podcast that is that is
40:35
one that I subscribe to so I I’m
40:39
subscribed to his email list so I get an
40:41
email when his shows come out and I
40:45
download them and I listen to him and I
40:48
I don’t think there’s more than just a
40:50
couple shows that I’ve listened to only
40:52
once I think most of them I’ve gone
40:54
through and listened to several times as
40:57
a matter of fact his his series on the
40:59
war for American independence and then
41:02
also revolutionary aftershocks talking
41:04
about the about the response to Shea’s
41:08
so-called rebellion
41:09
oh yeah going back to that so Sam Adams
41:12
mr. freedom he he threw a fit a fit over
41:17
Shay’s rebellion he’s like it’s okay to
41:19
rebel against a king but if you rebelled
41:21
against our republic then you need to
41:23
have your balls shaved right that’s
41:25
reason yeah yeah I
41:27
he went Hueber status on there
41:30
so yeah so when uh in that letter they
41:38
reference Shay’s rebellion and and how
41:40
people were throwing throwing a hissy
41:41
fit in a panic saying that America has
41:44
devolved into anarchy eek you know
41:46
because some people had a complaint over
41:49
taxes right right right because that
41:52
wasn’t what started the whole thing in
41:53
the first place yeah so yeah the
41:55
conservative counter-revolution that was
41:58
in the states we’re actually behind this
42:00
because what what they got out of this
42:02
was before they had to put down their
42:04
own rebellions so by coming up with a
42:07
centralized power yes they ceded some of
42:11
their power but they also got the
42:14
federal military to go and put down
42:17
rebellions for them to help them my well
42:20
and and I’ll and also Jews I mean they
42:22
would do some of the dirty work so it’s
42:26
like when when the Whiskey Rebellion
42:28
happened and the largest distiller of
42:31
whiskey or one of the largest distillers
42:34
at the very least George Washington now
42:36
when when when it when they had that 25
42:38
percent whiskey tax and he sent 13,000
42:41
troops into western Pennsylvania by way
42:43
13,000 troops is more than he ever had
42:46
under his direct control as the
42:47
commander in chief of the of the
42:49
Continental Army but anyway when he sent
42:52
him when he sat down into western
42:54
Pennsylvania to put down one of the
42:56
smaller of the whiskey protests whiskey
42:59
tax protests now that was that was just
43:04
the Constitution being constitutional
43:07
because it is constitutional to lay
43:11
taxes without any limit its
43:12
constitutional to have the military put
43:15
down two rebellions so that was and like
43:21
I said he was one of the largest
43:22
distillers of whiskey and the way the
43:23
tax was written it was a 25 percent tax
43:26
on every gallon produced for the small
43:29
producers that couldn’t afford the the
43:32
somewhat nominal fee of not nominal
43:35
annual fee so if you were large enough
43:38
to pay the annual fee it didn’t cost a
43:39
whole lot but if you were a smaller
43:41
producer you couldn’t afford to pay that
43:43
nominal fee
43:44
and therefore you had to do the 25% of
43:46
each calendar deuced so I’d imagine that
43:49
the larger producers had absolutely no
43:50
problem with that because they cut out
43:52
their competition and made made it more
43:53
profitable for them the larger producers
43:56
like George Washington yes that is
43:58
correct it’s funny how that works so
44:02
that sounds like a bit of a scam but
44:03
I’ll tell you guys what isn’t a scam
44:05
they give you everything you need in one
44:06

44:30
that out go to anchor dot FM or download
44:33
the anchor app to get started today yeah
44:38
so we have to do that about partway
44:41
through so yeah so so so you’ve got
44:45
professor CJ’s gonna actually be there
44:47
yes and I don’t I don’t know what topic
44:51
is going to be but he’ll be doing a
44:52
presentation this year last year it was
44:56
about being intellectually omnivorous or
44:59
avoiding intellectual intellectual
45:02
incest or something like basically his
45:05
point was don’t go to all the same
45:08
source for everything avoid the
45:10
confirmation bias that goes along with
45:12
it right exactly
45:15
so it’s it’s look at things that that
45:18
are different from what you are from
45:23
what you tend to believe so if you want
45:25
to if you were an Austrian economist
45:30
there’s there’s nothing wrong with
45:32
reading Keynesian economics so if
45:35
somebody like well what’s his name I
45:38
think Glenn Hubbard there’s a couple
45:40
Keynesian economists that are supposedly
45:42
not too bad but I like with them yeah
45:47
there’s nothing wrong with reading them
45:48
you don’t have to accept it as Holy Writ
45:50
and if you hear something that’s
45:53
challenging to what your beliefs are now
45:56
if you get bothered by it
45:58
you have to question how good your
45:59
beliefs are that’s the thing I’ve been
46:03
embracing stoicism the last at the last
46:05
year or so to try to be more mindful and
46:08
stuff like that and it’s been really
46:10
cool to let go of my how do i word it so
46:17
a lot of people and I was one of them
46:20
you you find something that you really
46:22
strongly believe in and you’re being
46:24
right about that becomes part of almost
46:26
like your your how you see yourself in
46:29
terms of your self-worth and so when you
46:30
debate it with people you’re not just
46:32
debating that subject you’re debating
46:35
how right you are and how therefore how
46:38
smart and really intelligent you are
46:40
about it and that feeds so much bias
46:43
because now you’re actively looking for
46:45
things that that feed the bias that
46:47
you’re right and you actively push away
46:49
things that say well maybe you’re wrong
46:51
about that and it allows you to and
46:54
that’s how people get kind of you know
46:55
caught up in these belief systems and
46:56
then they’ll often when they change
46:59
beliefs something really hit some hard
47:01
and they change they go right back to
47:03
you know they go from being a you know I
47:05
see it a lot with you know libertarians
47:07
they’ll they’ll become conservatives or
47:09
they were conservatives or progressives
47:10
or whatever then they become libertarian
47:12
and then they just get you know sucked
47:14
into that that’s now you know now and
47:17
their specific brand of libertarianism
47:19
whether it’s min or Casimir anarchism er
47:22
mutualism or whatever it is they get
47:24
sucked into that and they’re like you
47:26
know well no this is right and and it’s
47:29
been very freeing the last you know year
47:30
or so that when I find things that
47:32
challenge my beliefs I actively am like
47:35
oh maybe I’m wrong let me find out so I
47:37
can you know so I can be right about or
47:39
be closer to write about it so that’s
47:41
really cool that he’s doing that and we
47:43
actually talked about him lost a lot on
47:45
the first episode that we that we don’t
47:48
talk about we talked about him Shiloh
47:52
larch has commented she apparently is a
47:54
Paul Gordon fan
47:55
she said just fast-forward to the Paul
47:58
Gordon part and then later she said I
48:00
heard Paul Gordon uses anchor FM and I
48:03
don’t know if that’s true
48:04
so yeah block and report her blocked and
48:09
reported so is there going
48:12
to be an ongoing battle in the bacon
48:14
wars at the Midwest peace and Liberty
48:16
festival or is there is there a an
48:19
armistice that’s been called so that
48:21
people can enjoy the day well much like
48:24
the Christmas truce during World War one
48:26
Paul and I call a ceasefire now he does
48:30
come over to the assault kitchen and all
48:32
the bacon is prepared over there is
48:34
fried and he eats a fried bacon and I
48:38
tell you what he he has a very contented
48:42
look upon his face as he eats the fried
48:44
bacon dare I say dare I say he looks
48:47
like he’s climaxing Wow
48:50
that’s yeah that’s a mental image that I
48:52
needed in this moment but I also is
48:59
there footage of this because you know
49:00
that could blow apart he has I mean he’s
49:02
built up a pretty solid brand of being
49:05
the the you know the bacon Baker so to
49:09
see him eating fried bacon or fryin if
49:13
you will and and and enjoying it that
49:16
could be kind of scandalous now they
49:19
could and I’m pretty sure I’m there
49:23
there may be some video footage I’m
49:25
pretty sure there’s some audio footage
49:27
of it too of him talking about it so I
49:31
think he described it as like like a
49:33
pork orgasm in his mouth don’t quote me
49:38
on that I know I know I have the
49:41
punctuation wrong just another a series
49:45
of really positive mental images with
49:46
all of that so thank you Shiloh for
49:48
starting that conversation so that’s
49:51
cool so so it starts is at what June 9th
49:55
that it starts this year it’s is
49:58
Thursday June 20th so it starts it
50:00
summer sometime in the morning totally
50:04
totally absurd the roughest show I’ve
50:07
done it’s the time that I had to flee a
50:10
hurricane and then I got back and was
50:12
flooding and and I did that show too but
50:16
uh yeah anybody said go ahead and say
50:17
June 20th June 20th and it ends on
50:20
Monday June 24th and Monday Monday
50:24
morning is a is a teardown put your
50:27
stuff away and go home day but there is
50:30
one event on that morning I do what’s
50:32
called final breakfast so it’s a big
50:35
giant group breakfast and I prepare food
50:38
for everybody’s still gonna be there on
50:39
Monday morning and there’s usually a
50:41
pretty good-sized crowd that’s there so
50:43
people will donate leftover potatoes
50:46
bacon eggs stuff like that and I’ll whip
50:48
it all up I have a I think it’s a
50:52
four-four gallon cast-iron Dutch oven so
50:56
it’s six yeah it’s a 16 inch diameter
50:59
and is it’s the largest one that I’ve
51:01
seen sold you know I mean outside of
51:03
maybe something that you need like a
51:04
gang of illegal immigrants to move
51:07
around for you but anyway so I fill that
51:10
thing up with hash browns and I just do
51:12
bunches and bunches of bunches of eggs
51:15
and and I fry up bacon and sausage
51:17
whatever is there and you would think
51:21
that that would be enough but wait
51:23
there’s more so we set up the table to
51:26
where everybody can go through the
51:27
little buffet line and last year was
51:29
really nice because III wouldn’t well I
51:31
went to go put all the stuff over there
51:32
there was no room and I had to move
51:34
stuff around because people brought all
51:37
this leftover fruit and stuff sighing
51:40
there were strawberries and and cherries
51:42
and bananas and just all this different
51:44
fruit cut up ready to go and it was
51:46
pretty awesome
51:48
no often people will bring over at
51:51
bagels and I just all the stuff that
51:54
they have leftover as a matter of fact
51:55
some of the people that leave on Sunday
51:57
will drop stuff off on Sunday night
52:00
saying here there’s four final breakfast
52:02
there was a vegetarian she stayed and
52:05
she she doesn’t need a meetin I mean
52:08
everything’s got me cuz I even fried the
52:10
hash browns and bacon grease but she
52:13
donated a couple bags of potatoes so
52:14
it’s this big giant
52:16
voluntary thing nice that’s really cool
52:19
and there was was there a wedding there
52:21
one year or was that just like a
52:23
gimmicky thing I thought I saw pictures
52:26
of a wedding there were two weddings oh
52:30
wow yeah so James weeks the stripping
52:35
libertarian
52:36
officiated one wedding and then the that
52:41
couple wound up having another wedding
52:42
after that so I don’t know if there had
52:45
a second one for actual family and stuff
52:48
or yeah and or legal reasons right right
52:51
yeah well III think James’s is ordained
52:54
master oh yeah okay
52:58
I think he got ordained out of the back
53:00
of Rolling Stone magazine or some but
53:03

53:08
pastafarians yeah pastor Farion yeah but
53:11

53:14
Cthulhu get through it yeah so anyway uh
53:19
there’s another couple they got married
53:21
and that was their actual wedding and
53:24
shannond one of our friends she
53:27
officiated that at cuz she’s she’s an
53:29
actual ordained minister also I think a
53:32
little bit more than like out of the
53:33
back of a Rolling Stone magazine or
53:35
right off of some seedy corner of the
53:37
internet so anyway but yes so the
53:41
weddings now let’s see what who else we
53:42
have there for for speakers at this time
53:45

53:57
Oh No so anyway on Friday we got Paul
54:04
Rosenberg yeah I’m not sure who that is
54:06
if it’s if it’s a crypto hippie Paul
54:09
Rosenberg I could be super excited about
54:12
that I heard I’ve heard a couple of
54:14
interviews with him Ben stone had
54:16
interviewed him on the bank waker
54:19
podcast so i’m hoping it’s the same guy
54:20
cool and then let’s see saturday Larry
54:25
Ludlow CJ Stephen wave how to travel
54:29
safe how to travel freely I don’t I
54:33
don’t know too much about that let’s see
54:37
Shane Ratliff from the vaanu podcast and
54:41
we’ll be under attack
54:43
Bret Lynott will be doing a presentation
54:46
I’m gonna I’m gonna absolutely destroy
54:49
this name Olay Petta Hoey
54:52
he is our Norwegian game developer who
54:56
lives in Indonesia so if somebody lives
54:59
like eight hours away they say that’s
55:01
too far to go Oh a comes in from from
55:04
Indonesia this idiot yeah this will be a
55:07
search time so when you say that you
55:10
can’t drive five hours to get there I’m
55:12
not sympathetic oh I couldn’t possibly
55:14
get there I’m in Chicago well you’re not
55:17
Indonesia is pretty much exactly halfway
55:19
around the world now pretty much yeah
55:22
yeah and then John John Phibes will be
55:25
there and he’s doing something with Olay
55:27
but John vibes he’s a writer for the
55:30
free thought project let’s see what else
55:34
we got Nick Hazleton my young apprentice
55:39
so Nick Nick
55:41
Hazleton I’ve known him on Facebook
55:44
since he’s like 14 or something like
55:45
that and his big thing is he dropped out
55:49
of school to make something of himself
55:51
and his dad was like the superintendent
55:54
or the the Dean of the charter school
55:57
that he was in right so it so I that
56:02
that’s got a that’s gonna be a little
56:04
bit awkward but yeah
56:05
he just he just didn’t feel like he was
56:07
getting anything out of school and he
56:08
wanted to he wanted to raise yaks and so
56:11
he dropped out he wanted dropping out of
56:13
school eventually and he’s got a yak
56:16
farm and he’s doing a thing out there
56:18
and and he’s happy with what he’s doing
56:21
he’s enjoying himself
56:22
hey ya k– farm yeah I’m familiar with a
56:27
yak what precisely is it the Yak fur or
56:31
yak meat what all of it all of it Oh in
56:35
the thing the thing is the the yak meat
56:37
is not regulated because it’s uh it’s
56:39
like a specialty meat or something like
56:41
that okay it’s not real a like kaolin
56:44
otters up but yeah the fur is valuable
56:46
the meat is valuable you probably even
56:49
get off yeah yeah yeah yeah he does a
56:53
yak milk too so I don’t know if he can
56:55
sell that but anyway so I he doesn’t
56:59
have a monocle he doesn’t have a top hat
57:01
and a monocle yet so yeah he’s not
57:03
having that kind of success but he’s
57:05
happy he’s having happiness success hey
57:07
listen if you can if you can etch out a
57:10
living doing what you love especially if
57:13
it involves yaks or not pakka’s or
57:16
something like that I’d say all you know
57:18
more power to you I remember we were
57:20
driving somewhere and we stopped at a
57:23
like a stop to get food or whatever in
57:26
like Pennsylvania and this guy pulled up
57:28
with a trailer full of alpacas and they
57:33
were all just chilling out in the
57:34
trailer and he had it was a guy he’d
57:37
quit his job he’d worked some kind of
57:40
9:00 to 5:00 and he quit it and started
57:42
farming alpacas and he was making I mean
57:45
he had a new truck I mean he made enough
57:46
money get a new truck but he was more
57:48
importantly he was super I was like
57:50
because I was just so curious I was like
57:52
so are you like you’re enjoy like is
57:55
this fun he’s like I’m having the most
57:57
fun I’ve ever had in my whole life he’s
57:58
like it’s like having twenty pets that I
58:00
make money off of okay because I I have
58:03
pets and don’t make any money off of
58:04
them so I can absolutely i I think it’s
58:08
cool so if this guy’s doing good on yaks
58:09

Lou sander the floor is yours alright so
59:03
if you want to hear my old stuff on
59:05

from brand-new radio show host up to
59:10
when we finally ended it
59:14
freedom fiends calm my stuff like I said
59:17
I’m the absentee landlord of the Lou
59:19
Sanders Show at Lou Sanders show calm I
59:21
should have some new material coming out
59:23
real soon because I have some interviews
59:25
from the last fest and and some other
59:28
stuff that I want to start knocking out
59:29
a little bit quicker and I picked up
59:31
some little technological things so I
59:33
should be able to do this a little bit
59:35
quicker and start getting those out
59:37
there and there’s some really good stuff
59:38
in there I’ve got an interview with
59:40
Scott Horton to release I think the next
59:43

59:44
years ago and yeah oh the one with CJ
59:50
cuz we recorded one in the middle of the
59:51
night after a couple of beverages so
59:53
it’s gonna be called the drunken history
59:54
podcast I haven’t listened joy I haven’t
59:57
listened to yes I don’t know how good or
59:59
how bad it is it might be terrible or it
60:02
might be the best thing you’ve ever done
60:04
and it’s probably not one or the other
60:06
it’s probably not somewhere in between
60:07
probably like either horrible or amazing
60:10

60:14

60:16
