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.

Hi everybody, Tom Woods here. It's episode 2739 of the Tom Wood Show. We have the great

legendary Charles Goyette with us of radio fame and in particular of this brand new book,

Empire of Lies, fragments from the memory hole. But in addition to that subtitle, it has a sub-subtitle that's really juicy,

the shameful story of the deep states warlords, war lies, and failed foreign interventions.

So I am delighted to welcome back. My old friend, New York Times bestselling author, Charles Goyat.

Charles, welcome. Tom, it's so good to speak to you, and congratulations on the birth of your son, Henry, right? Thank you. Thank you. I didn't even know you about that. Thank you. Yeah, I did. And it reminded me, I don't think Plato actually said this, but it's legendary that he said, you know, every man should write a book, plant a tree, father, a son. So I know you've done two out of three,

and it's easy to plant a tree. But anyway, I'm very happy for you. Thank you. Thank you. Maybe I'll do the tree tomorrow. But you're right. Thanks so much. So obviously we want to talk about, and what a nice, juicy title this is. And this is a book published by the Libert libertarian institute which means it bears the imprimatur

of the great scott horton himself so for those folks out there who unfortunately are unfamiliar

with charles goiette he has the absolute 100% scott horton seal of approval in fact i want to

start off before we talk about that book talking about something that i guess I probably brought out of you the last time you were on with.

That was probably 57 years ago.

So let's refresh everybody's memory.

Something happened to you in the radio world, as I recall, at the time of the Iraq war.

And it's, I don't know what the word is, disturbing, unnerving, I don't know what it is.

But can you cast your mind back to those days and recount for us exactly what happened?

I can't, Tom.

I haven't thought about it a lot, so I may miss some of the high points or they're, I should say

the low points of the episode, but I worked for Clear Channel, which owned all of big talk

stations in America,

owned more radio stations than anybody else.
