Summary

I've had many requests for an episode on Pope Francis and the current state of the Catholic Church. I covered economic issues in episodes 497 and 54, but this episode is a general discussion of Church politics, who Pope Francis is, the state of opinion among the college of cardinals, and much more. Plus, no conversation with Roger McCaffrey is ever boring. Ever.

0:00.0	The Tom Woods Show, bonus episode 616.
0:04.3	Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.
0:09.1	Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.
0:15.1	Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here with another bonus episode.
0:18.5	Now, I've done three bonus episodes in a row, one each week for the past three weeks.
0:23.2	That's going to be it for a while, because otherwise you're going to come to expect a bonus episode.
0:27.7	Then it's not really a bonus, is it? So, remember the point of these bonus episodes is they allow me to talk about subjects that are a little bit off the beaten path or a little different from what you might expect on a libertarian podcast, but that are nevertheless interesting to me because there is more to life than just that. And so for the past two weeks, for example, I talked to a couple of successful entrepreneurs. Last week I talked to Sarah Young, the mom of seven, who has now become a
0:55.8	top flight marketer. She's an affiliate marketer, and she did that because she didn't want to have
1:00.4	to leave her seven children to go to work. And so she figured out how to sell products through
1:05.7	Amazon and earn commissions, and she does very, very well with that. And remember, she's holding a webinar to show my
1:12.5	audience exactly how she does that. And that's this coming Tuesday, March 15th. So make sure
1:18.5	and sign up for that baby at tomwoods.com slash sarah. And we're going to learn an awful lot.
1:24.5	It's going to be a lot of knowledge bombs dropped that thing. And remember, I'm donating $5 for every live attendee. I'm going to donate $5 to the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. So that could be a lot of dough if we get a lot of people to show up. But then before that I had Ben Settle, who is an email marketer, has a great newsletter that I subscribe to, and I enjoy talking to him.
1:46.1	I don't earn any money if you subscribe to his newsletter or anything, but I get his newsletter,
1:50.0	and I love it, and I think he's interesting, and I think email marketing is interesting,
1:54.0	because I like the institutions of capitalism, not just capitalism in theory, but I like exactly
2:00.0	how it works. I'm like exactly how it works.
2:01.3	I'm interested in how it works.
2:02.6	How do people make sales?
2:04.3	Things like that.
2:04.9	So we talk to Ben Settle.
2:05.9	He's a ton of fun to talk to.
