Description

States Rights! Nullification! Secession! Just what you'd expect to hear from.....PROGRESSIVES IN CALIFORNIA?! Actually, yes. Progressives finally believe in local governance and nullification. All it took was Donald Trump to turn politics on its head and we are now in Bizarro World. And if that wasn't enough, just months after Republicans touted tax CUTS, they now want tariffs which, well, are just taxes and another intervention into a free market. We'll break down tariffs and the classic Broken Window Fallacy. Plus- Tucker Carlson heroically gives neocon warmonger John Bolton a verbal beatdown.  Here are links to the articles I cite on today's episode:    Recommended books: Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt  and Economics In One Lesson by Thomas Sowell Go "like" us at Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Subscribe  on iTunes and share the show with friends!

The Counterflow Podcast is a weekly show featuring discussions and interviews with people who are outside of and critical toward mainstream liberal and conservative politics. Counterflow challenges the conventional right/left binary and is concerned with the more important distinction of free vs unfree. The show features thinkers from all backgrounds, who do not fit into the narrow framework of fashionable opinion. The show addresses cultural and lifestyle issues as well as philosophy and politics. Host Buck Johnson (formerly of the Death To Tyrants Podcast) is a musician and firefighter and has always had an interest and drive to go one way while everyone else runs the other direction.
