Shownotes Transcript

Today I ran through a few important news stories you might have missed throughout the week. I covered everything from the first all-female spacewalk, the massive teacher's strike in Chicago, Elon Musk being out of cash, and troubles facing the stock market.  At the end of the show I spent a bit of time discussing Neil deGrasse Tyson's comments on the Ben Shapiro Show, when he was asked by Shapiro about Libertarianism. He said he can't be a Libertarian, because Libertarians are all about "I'm gonna get mine, you get yours..etc." Basically that Libertarianism is purely selfish, and does not look out for those in need in our society. I discussed why on a technical level this might be true, but on an emotional level we are truly believe that this philosophy is the best way to help the most amount of people. The free market has led to a standard of living that those 100 years ago couldn't have even imagined. If we want to help people, we need to unleash the free market.  Visit www.goodmorningliberty.us for more great articles on politics, economics, and Libertarian ideology.
