Audio Mises Wire - MMT Is Wrong about the History of the Origins of Money
Not only are modern monetary theory (MMT) cultists dishonest about the role of money, they also are dishonest about money‘s history. By taking issue with Carl Menger‘s historical version, they expose their own ignorance of how money came about.

Audio Mises Wire - Yes, Virginia, There IS a Deep State—and It Is Worse than You Think
We like to think of the “deep state” as a conspiratorial entity. In reality, the term describes much of what the federal government does in broad daylight.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Dems Who Hate Israel—and Sydney Sweeney
Twenty-seven Democratic senators voted against aid to Israel on Wednesday, a mark of the Jewish state's abandonment by one of the two major parties in America. But wait! What's this? Polling in 1982 that almost perfectly matches the polling today on support for Israel? Maybe be of better cheer if you are an advocate for the Jewish state, or nah? And...the amazing Sydney Sweeney jeans ad and what it says about America. Give a listen.

Cato Podcast - One and a Half Cheers for SCOTUS
Cato's Clark Neily and Mike Fox give the most recent SCOTUS term a B- grade on criminal law. While they celebrate some unanimous victories like Barnes v. Felix (requiring courts to consider totality of circumstances in police use-of-force cases) and Martin v. United States (allowing federal tort claims against law enforcement), they express frustration with the Court's repeated refusal to hear cases involving the "petty offense doctrine," appellate waivers in plea bargains, and felon-in-possession gun laws—all issues with clear circuit splits that affect large numbers of people.
The episode concludes with a celebration of Fox's efforts that led to presidential pardons for John Moore and Tanner Mansell, achieving justice where the courts failed.
