FPF #209 – Killing Yemen

On FPF#209, I recap the Yemeni Civil War. The war has raged since the Saudi-led coalition began its bombing campaign in 2015. The war has devastated the people of Yemen and sparked the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. The people of Yemen are subject to a blockade that prevents food, fuel, medicine, and even journalists from entering the country. The blockade is supplemented by an indiscriminate air war on Yemen’s civilian infrastructure. I break down the humanitarian crisis, the critical US role in the war, and the ongoing catastrophic attack on Hodeida.

FPF #208 – Stalin's Military Failures guest Marko Marjanovic

On FPF #208, Marko Marjanovic joins the show to discuss the failures of Stalin’s centrally planned military leading up to WWII. The failures amount to the USSR having the most losses on one side of a war. While the Red Army had the equipment and technology to defend against the German invasion, poor strategic decision making allowed the Germans to have early success on the battlefield. Marko and Kyle discuss how the centrally planned military created the environment where the USSR took devastating losses during 1941. 

In the show, we discuss Marko’s article Stalin Gifted Hitler Victory in 1941 and it Cost Millions of Russian Lives. Marko is the deputy editor at Russia-Insider.com. His website is CheckPointAsia.Net.

Antony Sammeroff of Scottish Liberty Podcast- ABS044

Boy do we have a good one lined up for you guys this time. In addition to our regular hosts and panelists we are joined by Antony Sammeroff of the Scottish Liberty Podcast and beyourselfandloveit.com. We discuss “The Psychology of Statism“, environmentalism in regards to private property, Ezra Klein, Charles Murray, life in Scotland and an upcoming live stream Antony is hosting for the purpose of shaving his long, flowing mane.  

 

Antony assured me throughout the interview that I was doing a good job, so I think you guys will probably enjoy it.    Did you guys know that I used to cut the dick bones out of dead raccoons? Yeah they have bones in their dicks and people cut them out and make toothpicks out of them. We also learned that they don’t have raccoons in Scotland.    As usual the rest of the Ancap Barber boys didn’t do any research or prep, so it fell to me to carry the show. I’ve scolded them, but if you feel like you can do a better job send your application to[email protected]. The bar isn’t very high, honestly if you can keep your mouth within two inches of a microphone and not talk over me, or contradict me in any way, you’ve got the job. It doesn’t pay anything, in fact you would have to pay me so be sure you’re cool with that and we’ll discuss my fee.   Shouts out to Scuba Steve from Kentucky, thanks for reaching out man. I always appreciate feedback from listeners. If you’d like to get a message to us we always love that shit. DM me on Instagram (@ancapbarber) or shoot me an email at [email protected].     We talk about a recent camping expedition I took with my daughter and some friends, during which I attempted to coax a neighboring camper’s toddler over to my campsite. I thought the poor toddler was my kid, so I tried to bait her away from her parent’s campsite with cookies. I can’t make this shit up.   We really enjoyed talking with Antony, and we highly recommend checking out his content. You can find his his stuff below.   Seriously, he’s a real smart dude.    Website   https://beyourselfandloveit.com/en/doit   Be Yourself and Love it Podcast   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/be-yourself-and-love-it/id1261718841?mt=2   Scottish Liberty Podcast   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDX90hZy28U5dZHi14AG3Ow     Alright guys, until next time.

Ep. 59: Whose Body? Whose Choice? The Libertarian Pro-Life Position

In too many libertarian circles you’ll hear people proclaim that the definitive libertarian position on abortion is pro-choice position.  But why?  Usually these pro-choice libertarians will tell you that if we own our bodies (and we do) then no one can tell you what to do with it, and no one can force you to …

FPF #205 – Trump Bucks Establishment, Eyes Diplomacy

On FPF #205, I breakdown Trump’s press conference after the G7. Trump said that Russia should rejoin the G7 without giving Crimea back to Ukraine. Trump stated that a successful summit with Kim Jong Un would be a minimum of establishing a dialog. He also said he expects the diplomatic process with North Korea to be slow. I explain how these statements show Trump bucking the establishment policy North Korean and Russian diplomacy.

Cops, Tariffs and Nathan Larson – ABS043

We’re talking about a bunch of cool shit in this one, like an open pedophile, white supremacist dude who’s running for Congress and a cop murdering a groundhog in COLD BLOOD, but not until I talk about the stuff I want to talk about… like the 1998 Michael Bay action spectacular, Armageddon. I wanted to figure out which characters we would be but Adam and Tanner haven’t seen it, so I explain the plot for 5 minutes. I could have asked them if they had seen it but I assumed everybody had. Anyways I’m Rockhound, and I’m pretty sure Adam is Bear, Dave would be the Bruce Willis guy and Tanner is Aerosmith’s daughter.     Oh yeah, I saw the new Han Solo movie and it was really good. Adam and Tanner didn’t see this one either. We did figure out that C-3P0 is gay though…   We talked about the Roseanne tweet. Overall we’re supportive, but we offer some poignant criticism for Ms. Barr.   Tanner wanted to bring up the mounting trade war between the U.S. and Canada, so we discussed the pros and cons of taxing imports vs not interfering with international trade.    We talk about basketball man Sterling Brown getting tazed and arrested. Me and Adam are pretty much in the dude’s corner, but Tanner gives us some pushback. I mean after the poor bastard was on the ground they were standing on his ankles and shit. If tanner would get the animal crackers out of his panties for two seconds he would probably be with us. You can watch the video and decide for yourselves.    check this shit out, after arguing about the Sterling Brown thing we talk about the cop who shot the damn groundhog and me and Tanner switch positions. This shit is so damn funny to me.   Our last titillating segment for this episode is about Virginian Nathan Larson, who is running for Congress as a libertarian and an open pedophile among a lot of other weird shit. He wants to legally define women as property and he’s apparently a white supremacist.    Welp that’s the show, if all goes as planned we should have Antony from the Scottish Liberty Podcast with us next episode. Y’all don’t do nothing I wouldn’t do, unless it’s sending money to our Patreon. Later.
