    Ep 303 | Approaching Election Day, the Antiauthoritarians Are Winning
    Oct 30 2024
    In this special election edition of "Kibbe on Liberty," Matt goes solo, unleashing an epic ramble-rant about the big political realignment happening right before our eyes and the opportunities for libertarians working to free America from the tyranny of lockdown authoritarianism. While Donald Trump openly courts the libertarian vote, a New Resistance is forming, motivated by a reverence for free speech, skepticism of endless foreign wars, and a desire to make America healthy again. With old-school liberals like RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Nicole Shanahan, and Bret Weinstein now joined together, what kinds of new coalitions and alliances might we help create or join — together?

    Ep 302 | Frustrated Parents Will Decide the Election | Guest: Corey DeAngelis
    Oct 23 2024
    As trust in the government school system plummets, more and more parents are stepping up and taking a more active role in their children’s educations. Now, those parents are representing a major voting bloc in the swing states, and they will have to decide which candidate will better support their rights. Matt Kibbe sits down with Corey DeAngelis, author of “The Parent Revolution,” to discuss how issues like school choice and parental rights will impact the election and whether the actions taken by administrators and teachers’ unions during the pandemic will create blowback for Democrats.

    Ep 301 | Fauci Is to Blame for the Pandemic | Guest: Christian Britschgi
    Oct 16 2024
    Four years after the COVID-19 pandemic and the disastrous lockdowns that accompanied it, we’re still looking for answers on who to blame for the millions of deaths as well as the countless livelihoods destroyed. Since the corporate press has failed to do its job in holding government officials accountable, independent journalists have had to pick up the slack. Matt Kibbe sits down with Christian Britschgi, associate editor at Reason magazine, to discuss the role that Dr. Anthony Fauci played in funding the gain-of-function research that likely led to the release of the virus and then covering up his involvement to protect himself and his allies. While most people only learned who Fauci was in 2020, he has been a major player in researching bioweapons for decades.

    Ep 300 | FEMA’s Catastrophic Failure | Guest: Amy LePore
    Oct 9 2024
    As Hurricane Helene brought devastation to Asheville, North Carolina, and surrounding communities, it’s been remarkable how ineffective FEMA and other government agencies have been at helping victims. More galling, government bureaucrats are actually impeding private efforts to offer aid to those in need. Matt Kibbe sits down with Amy LePore, co-founder of Dissident Media, who explains how the centralization of emergency services after 9/11 has led to an obstructive bureaucracy incapable of responding to the needs of citizens.

    Ep 299 | Live Free or Live in Fear | Guest: Logan Albright
    Oct 2 2024
    The COVID-19 pandemic gave government authoritarians the opportunity to exploit the public’s fear to seize power. It was shocking to see how quickly many people were willing to abandon their principles for the promise of protection, but it’s hardly the first time this has happened. Matt Kibbe sits down with Logan Albright, head writer at Free the People and author of "Freedom over Fear," to discuss the history of the politicians and bureaucrats using the rhetoric of fear to consolidate their own power and strip the citizens of their civil liberties. From xenophobia during war and FDR’s economic fascism during the Great Depression to surrendering privacy in the name of anti-terrorism and moral panics about the corruption of children, both the political Left and Right will take any chance to scare us as long as we keep letting them.

  • Ep 298 | Big Pharma Has Captured Government | Guest: Sharyl Attkisson

    Ep 298 | Big Pharma Has Captured Government | Guest: Sharyl Attkisson
    Sep 25 2024
    The COVID-19 pandemic revealed a number of troubling truths about the role the pharmaceutical industry plays in shaping public policy and the financial incentives that politicians and bureaucrats have to push certain medical interventions onto unsuspecting citizens. Matt Kibbe sits down with Sharyl Attkisson, author of "Follow the Science," to discuss the hidden connections between the medical-industrial complex and the regulators who have the power to force you to take an experimental vaccine whether you want to or not. It’s impossible to have trust in the public health establishment as long as these blatant conflicts of interests exist and as long as there is no civil or criminal accountability for companies delivering products that have a high risk of causing permanent harm to those who use them.

    Ep 297 | We’re Being Gaslit About Biosafety | Guest: Bryce Nickels
    Sep 18 2024
    The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen in late 2019, and the ensuing investigation into its origins, revealed a dangerous lack of concern among bureaucrats and elected officials for biosafety and biosecurity. Not only did our government fund research to make viruses more deadly to humans, but it continues to do so, refusing to back down or admit any wrongdoing, paving the way for a future pandemic that makes COVID-19 look like the common cold. In his research for "The Coverup" series, which examines the national security apparatus’ involvement in the development of the COVID virus, Matt Kibbe speaks with Bryce Nickels, professor of genetics for Rutgers University and co-founder of Biosafety Now, to find out what we as a society should be doing to prevent the development and spread of future pathogens. Their conversation also serves as a preview of the upcoming episode of "The Coverup" featuring Dr. Richard Ebright.

  • Ep 296 | Restorative Justice Offers a Third Way to Deal with Crime | Guests: Kathleen McGoey and Lindsey Pointer

    Ep 296 | Restorative Justice Offers a Third Way to Deal with Crime | Guests: Kathleen McGoey and Lindsey Pointer
    Sep 11 2024
    Americans can’t seem to agree on how to handle crime. On the Right, we have the tough-on-crime, lock-’em-up mentality that prioritizes punishment and low tolerance for antisocial behavior. On the Left, we hear talk about compassion and rehabilitation, while thieves and vandals are allowed to loot and pillage our cities without consequences. Restorative justice constitutes a different way of thinking about criminal justice altogether, recognizing that the traditional prison model has failed to prevent recidivism, while the zero-accountability strategy implemented by cities like San Francisco has been a disaster for public safety. Matt Kibbe sits down with restorative justice professionals Kathleen McGoey and Lindsey Pointer to discuss their work in the field, as well as their new book, “The Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools for Online Learning,” which gives practical instructions on how to implement restorative practices in your own community.
