The Tom Woods Show, episode 796.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

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

Hi, everybody, Tom Woods here.

Let me tell you, first of all, what's coming up tomorrow, before I even get into today's topic.

Tomorrow I've got Umbardo Fontova coming on to talk about Fidel Castro. I realize we're a little bit late, but

that's partly because Umberto was out on a hunting trip when Castro died, and then it was a

matter of trying to line him up on a day that would work for both of us. And so we finally made it work. I've already recorded

it. It's one of my favorite episodes of the show of all time. And I know I do say that sometimes,

but not that much, considering there are nearly 800 episodes. I think you're really going to like it.

It's just the thing you've been waiting for. It addresses all the claims you've heard,

and it's done in a really, really interesting and invigorating way.

Umberto is a very, very good interviewee. I'll just put it that way. You're really going to enjoy

episode 797. That's not to say you're not going to enjoy episode 796, the one you are listening

to at this very moment. Today I thought I would just

run through an article I saw. I'm on the American Spectators email list. I don't know how I

get on it, but I'm still on it. Some email lists I jump off and others I stay on. Stay on this one,

because once in a while they send me an interesting headline.

And this article that I want to talk to you about is by Ben Stein, who is the well-known actor.

And before that, he was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

He has an article called Secession is for Morons.

And I thought, oh, man, come on now.
