Hello and welcome to another episode of the Tom Wood Show.

Of course, it's another debate analysis episode,

which means what else could it mean? We're joined by Lou Rockwell, of course, who is editor and publisher of Lou Rockwell.com.

He's the founder and chairman of the Meases Institute, which you should visit at meez.org, M-I-S-E-S-O-G. Don't visit it until after our conversation, or you won't come

back to listen to us because you'll spend the rest of your life learning Austrian economics.

And, of course, he was chief of staff to Ron Paul, very, very important figure in the history

of libertarianism, and we're just delighted to be able to talk to him about all these

presidential debates. Make sure and stay

tuned after my conversation with Lou, I have a couple of announcements. One of them involves

working for me, so do please listen in for that. Lou, welcome back. Tom, great to be with you,

as always. This was, especially this time. Because I can't say this time that it was a bore or that it was a real chore to do.

I actually found this quite interesting.

Now, by now, some people probably have read the news reports about it, but if I know my listeners, I know some of them studiously avoid all commentary on this because they want to hear what we have to say because they can't be bothered.

And so we'll talk about it.

But it was, you know, even before I read the article that you linked to at your political

theater blog, which of course we link to that on our show notes page, tomwoods.com slash
