Audio Mises Wire - Why Hayek Rejected “Mere Legality”
A government that rules by imposing politically-oriented statutes upon its citizens cannot lay claim to governing by “rule of law.” Hayek understood that claiming “legality” to anything the state does is a sure road to tyranny.

Audio Mises Wire - My 46 Years of Contempt of Congress
Although most political attention is focused on the US presidency, James Bovard pleads guilty to contempt of Congress. This is the Congress that is spending and borrowing the country into financial oblivion, but never taking the blame for the results.

Audio Mises Wire - Robert Reich’s Blind Spots: The Elephant in the Progressive Left’s Room
Reich, Elizabeth Warren, and other leftists never address the root cause of what they correctly diagnose as excessive corporate power: the Federal Reserve.

Audio Mises Wire - Intellectual Property: Innovation Should Serve Consumers, Not Producers
Innovations aren‘t very useful unless they serve consumers in the marketplace. Otherwise, we‘re pursuing innovation for its own sake, and that isn‘t progress.

Audio Mises Wire - The Putrid Underbelly of Woke Capitalism
American corporations are lavishing billions of dollars on leftist groups in the name of “equity.” But many of them are also donating to even more questionable people and causes.

Audio Mises Wire - Do Financial Markets Operate Upon Superior Knowledge?
The Efficient Market Hypothesis claims that financial markets process information immediately and correctly. However, since the EMH is based upon unrealistic assumptions, we also have to question the efficacy of this hypothesis, especially when central banks intervene in the markets.

What A Day - Why Hiring 10,000 New ICE Agents Is A Bad Idea
President Donald Trump’s new spending and tax law is set to balloon the budget for immigration and detention enforcement. With an extra $170 billion over the next four years, the government is hoping to hire 10 thousand new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, build new detention facilities, and otherwise ramp up every aspect of arrests and removals. In fact, under the new spending plan, ICE will become the most well-funded law enforcement agency in the federal government. Garrett Graff is a historian and longtime politics and national security reporter who currently writes the ‘Doomsday Scenario’ newsletter. He joins us to talk about why dramatically expanding the federal immigration enforcement budget so quickly is a bad idea.
And in headlines: President Trump threatened new tariffs on Mexico and the European Union, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pushed back on critical reports of her handling of the response to the deadly Texas floods, and the State Department laid off more than 1,000 staffers.
