Both times I've surveyed my listeners, Michael Malice has been chosen as their favorite guest on the Tom Woods Show. Here I try to uncover what makes him tick. That takes us back to his birth in the Soviet Union, his move to the United States, his experiences in school, his exposure to Ayn Rand, the development of his ideas, and a lot more. Plus, I ask him the question he most likes to ask others.

0:00.0 | The Tom Woods Show, episode 1345. |
0:03.1 | Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion. |
0:07.9 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
0:14.1 | Folks, if you're like me, one of the most demoralizing things is when someone utters the truth and then lamely apologizes. |
0:22.5 | Well, not these folks. I've got a free e-book of stories from heroic professors who told the PC mob to go pound sand. Stories from |
0:29.0 | Jordan Peterson, Michael Recktonwald, and others. Check it out at againstthemob.com. Hey, everybody, Tom Woods |
0:36.5 | here. Man, are you in for a treat today? It's the making of |

0:52.0 | Tom Wood Show. How about that? Beating out even Ron Paul himself. And he and I have |
0:56.8 | done a lot of interesting things together. Maybe the best known was the debate we had at the end of |
1:02.5 | 2015 on the legacy of Alexander Hamilton. Now, I don't need to remind you how that debate turned out, |
1:09.0 | but it was a tremendous time. We both enjoyed ourselves very |

1:23.7 | curl up at night with some popcorn and watch this debate, and you will be thoroughly entertained. |
1:30.6 | Well, Michael Malice, as you may know, is a celebrity ghost writer and a darn good one at that, a New York Times best-selling one. |
1:37.3 | He is the author, furthermore, of a book in his own right called Dear Reader, the unauthorized autobiography of Kim Jong-il. |
1:45.3 | He was the subject of Harvey Pekar's graphic novel, Ego, and Hubris, and he is a frequent |
