Episode notes
Laura Loomer Meltdown Exposes Dark Proximity To Power
- Laura Loomer publicly posted violent personal attacks against Candace Owens that shocked Tom Woods and Dave Smith.
- Tom read Loomer's tweet wishing divorce and saying God hates Candace, using it to illustrate how disturbed people close to power can be.
Boomercon Smear Tactics Crumble In Decentralized Media
- 'Boomercon' attack-dog figures like Mark Levin used to control discourse with character assassination, but decentralized media eroded that power.
- As legacy smears lost effectiveness, their rhetoric grew more extreme and undignified, making them look unhinged.
Today's Federal State Betrays Constitutional Limits
- Tom Woods argues modern 'constitutionalists' ignore that today's federal state bears little resemblance to the Constitution's limits.
- He used pre-1912 America (no income tax, central bank, minimal federal spending) to show how radically different and more libertarian earlier America was.
