Michael Boldin reflects on 15 years of the Tenth Amendment Center, which he founded in 2006. For 15 years Boldin and the Center have brought a perspective into American life that would otherwise have been absent. The Center's boldness has occasionally provoked rebukes from D.C. think-tanks that prefer we adopt loser strategies that never win, in order not to annoy the New York Times.

Well, here's an interesting non-coincidence: the people in public life who have been the best on COVID just happen to have come out of the Ron Paul movement. Then, I announce my latest project, which is a doozy -- and something we all need.

Nzube Udezue, popularly known as Zuby, first came to my attention because of his excellent Twitter commentary on COVID that he'd been writing for his 420,000+ followers. Turns out he's fascinating and great on everything. Born in England, he spent much of his youth in Saudi Arabia, and began making music while a student at Oxford. Here's how much we had to talk about: we didn't even get to COVID, which must be a record for the Tom Woods Show.

We've been raised to think of the state as a social service agency, or as the institution through which we govern ourselves, or any of a variety of comforting myths about what the state really is. In this episode we drop the cutesy propaganda and get down to reality.

To make a long story short: with the apparent blessing of the chair of the national party, the chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire purged her executive committee, replaced it largely with people who had been defeated at the previous convention, and absconded with the social media accounts and donor data. Even if you don't agree with people, you don't/can't do this, and of course it only shows that opposition to the status quo in the party has grown so strong that only by cheating can they cope with it. Caryn Ann Harlos, secretary of the Libertarian National Committee, joins me to discuss what's going on.

We don't want to live in a world in which our kids grow up believing that Dr. Fauci and his interventions saved the world, but that's what can happen if a false narrative takes root. Likewise, if people think "deregulation" caused the last financial crisis, that's going to lead people to make dumb decisions in the future. So we're going into detail on this, to smash it once and for all.
