I finally sat down with Tom Woods, author of numerous bestselling books, host of the long-running and enormously successful Tom Woods Show podcast, arguably the most important living libertarian other than Ron Paul, and the best economics teacher I’ve ever had. We discuss Tom’s history of alienation from his school peers, our very different experiences as history PhD students at Columbia, why he converted to traditionalist Catholicism, his love for his five daughters, the different schools of libertarian thought, and of course the COVID lockdowns and “the most inane election” either of us can remember.

I was joined by two old friends and colleagues, the eminent historians Barbara Fields of Columbia University and Adam Rothman of Georgetown University, who in my mind are two of the most brilliant analysts of the history and politics of race and racism in the United States. We begin with a discussion of their recent Dissent magazine article that laments the inattention given to white victims of police violence, recounts the history of the cross-racial coalition in the 1850s that ended slavery, and calls for building a non-racial coalition now to end police killings. The second half of the conversation focuses on Barbara’s classic work on the history, uses and mis-uses of the concepts of race and racism. This episode makes my life feel whole.

In this AMA episode hosted by Landry Harmon, we discuss my history of hating teachers, why libertarians are hostile to postmodernism, the dishonesty of Black Lives Matter, my ever-growing dislike of democracy, the Christian basis of left-wing politics, how liberalism became morally “good” among American elites, why no one cares about Trump’s genocidal war in Yemen, how China eliminated poverty in the U.S., the loneliness of political dissent, why the right wing despises my politics, the fight between the identity left and the Marxist left, why I don’t date people like me, the uniqueness of American white guilt, my favorite Unregistered episodes, the heroism of Michael Bell Sr., why recovering addicts are the best interviewees, the anxiety of free-market capitalism, the therapeutic effects of Zen mindfulness, why a person born into wealth can never be an American hero, and how Barack Obama is a child of the CIA.

In November 2004 Michael Bell Jr., a blond-haired and blue-eyed 21-year-old son of an Air Force lieutenant colonel, was murdered execution-style by police officers in Kenosha, WI. I talked with Michael Bell Sr. about his phenomenally successful 16-year campaign to reform police departments across the country.
