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

0:14.5

All right, I'm going to give you two seconds to imagine the most fun a person can have,

0:18.4

and then we'll compare notes. Ready, go.

0:22.2

All right, I'm sure we came up with the same answer. Joining Bob Murphy and me on the Contra Cruise in October 2016. Fun, games,

music, and hilarity, and with nearly six months still to go, we're already nearly half full. Grab your spot at contracruise.com.

joins us once again. We're going to be talking about Christian libertarianism, as well as a recent
