Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Tom Woods Show episode 2428. I'm very glad to be here with

Peter St. Ange who is an economist with the Heritage Foundation and an all-around great guy super knowledgeable if you follow

him on Twitter and I keep telling guests one at a time for me in my heart it's always

Twitter you know I I never stop calling me on Mar Burma.

So, the way it is with all woods, but all the same, if you follow him there and I'll put his

following in the description of the video and on the

show notes page you're gonna get some super super great content nice brief

punchy videos that don't take half your day but you can immediately get something really, really valuable from a good guy who, by the way, can take good news and bad news with the same kind of stoic, unperturbed response. I don't know how he does it but

Peter welcome back. Thank you. Thank you,

thank you, Tom and that was a beautiful introduction. Thank you for that. The

check is in the mail for that one.

Yep, really appreciate it.

Well, my pleasure.

So we're going to do a bit of a hodge-podge kind of potpourri episode today,

but I want to start with something that is on everybody's minds. And this is something that,'m going to get I guarantee you I mean there is nothing more

certain in the world than that I'm going to get an email from Gene Epstein

at the end of this episode.

Absolute guarantee.

I get those too.

He doesn't send me the emails, but he corrects me on Twitter all the time.
