You're listening to The Tom Woods Show.

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. It's episode 2,599 of the Tom Woods show. And I'm delighted to welcome our old friend Angela McArdle, who up until very recently was chair of the Libertarian National Committee, but is now, let's say, retired of her own volition. But that's another matter we'll get into a little while,

but I think it's fair to say that Angela was the most controversial chair in the history of the

party. But that, I will say, Angela, that alone doesn't say much because the whole point of a chair

is to be boring and forgettable. Nobody remembers who the chair of the

Republican Party was in 1982. That's the points by design. They're just placeholders and they're

boring. But you were neither of those. And you did some things that were quite unique. And we want to

focus in particular on one of them because of the outcome that just

occurred last week, namely the freeing of Ross Ulbricht, who was serving two life sentences

plus 40 years without possibility of parole. The kind of thing that a mom who loves her son will

continue to fight and fight and fight against, but the rest of us secretly feared

was just insurmountable. And somehow, turns out it wasn't. So anyway, welcome back to the show.

Thanks for having me. I mean, I'm excited to talk about this a little bit more. There was,

there was so much that happened behind the scenes. There were a lot of moving parts. It was pretty

stressful, but it's,

we did it. Well, I had one of my old high school friends, not a bad guy, not a normie,

but more normie than I am, wrote to say, can you please just tell me, I'm basically telling me

I'm not hostile, but can you tell me why Ross's case matters so

much that you guys cared about it so much and everybody knew about it? And there are obviously

very unique things about the nature of what he did. But I really do think that one of the reasons

we all know about it is his unrelenting mom.
