Government’s Cure Is Worse Than the Disease | Guest: Tim Draper | Ep 69 Jun 4, 2020

Venture capitalist and Draper University founder Tim Draper joins Matt Kibbe to talk about lockdowns, free speech, regulation, and the proper role of government. Draper argues that when the government gets involved with telling people how to live, it creates more problems than it solves. Instead, the government should inform and educate citizens to make their own decisions.

Matt Kibbe sits down with Matt Ridley, author of “How Innovation Works,” to talk about the mysterious process of economic and technological progress.

The Music Never Stopped During the 1968 Pandemic May 22, 2020

From September 1968 to December 1969, Matt Kibbe’s favorite band, the Grateful Dead, would play 177 concerts in the United States. It’s hard to imagine today, but this happened in the midst of a global pandemic that would kill an estimated 1,000,000 people. The Hong Kong Flu of 1968 was carried to the United States by soldiers returning to California from the Vietnam War. The Dead, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and many more iconic bands never stopped playing. Even Woodstock carried on in the midst of the pandemic. So why is everyone singing a different tune now during COVID-19?...

Ordering nursing homes to admit coronavirus patients is a dangerous mandate that cost many people their lives.

How Do We Feed America During COVID-19? | Guests: Rep. Thomas Massie & Joel Salatin | Ep 66 May 14, 2020

Matt Kibbe sits down with self-described Lunatic Farmer Joel Salatin and Rep. Thomas Massie to talk about the food shortages Americans are experiencing as a result of the coronavirus lockdown. The complex interactions that allow food to make it from farm to table have been disrupted by central planners who think they know better, with disastrous results. Rep. Massie has introduced legislation to help fix the problem, but as long as the lockdowns continue, the food supply will suffer.

The Music Never Stopped During the 1968 Pandemic May 12, 2020

“Everybody do just what you want to do.” It’s December 21st, 1968, and Bob Weir is egging on rowdy fans from the stage of the iconic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The Grateful Dead are on fire, having just burned through a rough and ready version of Elmore James’ ‘It Hurt’s Me Too.’ If you’re a true DeadHead, you already know that this was an amazing show. But for the band beyond description, it was just another night on their relentless, spontaneous musical journey. According to DeadBase, a Bible of sorts for hardcore Dead fans, between September 1, 1968 and...
