Get ready to take a flamethrower to the official narrative and learn what the elites don't want you to know.

You're listening to The Tom Woods Show.

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. It's episode 26008 of the Tom Woods show. And I got all Keith Knight back here with us. You might notice, by the way, that this week there are, you know, I used to do five episodes a week at the Tom Wood Show. And then I thought, well, I'd rather do slightly longer ones, but produce fewer of them. And because I just felt like that on balance was a better mix.

So I started to do that. But last week, I did only two. There were a long story. And now I could

have just moved on, you know, I've produced over 2,600 of these. No one's going to notice if I

miss one. But it's just the way I am, Keith. I'm doing four this week, you know, to make up for it, so that on average it's still three a week.

So in any case, anybody's confused about what's going on.

It's because of your Tom Wood Show deficit last week that you have a surplus this week.

Anyway, Keith Knight is managing editor at the Libertarian Institute, and I want to talk to him about, you know, one of our most maligned and yet at the same time most beloved and celebrated and accomplished and influential and important figures.

And that is Hans Herman Hoppa.

A name you've probably heard whose books you probably, I mean, just going on averages here,

probably have not read.

We all know him from the memes, basically, but that's about it.

Anyway, Keith, welcome back.

Great to have you.

Tom, thanks so much for having me and letting me on to talk about one of my intellectual heroes.

All right.

So we're going to talk a little bit about the books.

Now, Hans Hoppa is a polarizing figure. Polarizing. I think I probably

first met him about over 30 years ago, actually. And one of the great things about the, in 2017,

the 1,000th episode of the Tom Woods show is that before I came out, we ran this montage of

congratulatory messages from people in our movement.
