Yaron and Amy: “Why Not ‘Atlas Lobbied’?” TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)

Yaron is back for a week, so we’ll be doing a show today at our usual time!

The title is based on a question I raised on Facebook–one inspired by recent discussions there about potentially regulating Facebook, or perhaps suing Facebook for apparent bias against conservative thinkers in applying its Community Standards. See Program Notes, below, for the stories, etc., I have planned to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

Yaron is finally back after his travels to the UK and Colorado, and he’s agreed to squeeze in a show with me tomorrow! (Usually we’ll be trying to do our shows on Saturdays.)

The title of this week’s show is taken from this tweet:

Fantasy Economics: Believing that imposing tariffs on the importation of Steel & Aluminum can help the United States.

Fantasy Foreign Policy: Believing that it's wise to rely, in any way, on North Korea's assurances that it's denuclearizing. @realDonaldTrump

“The Consequences of Cowardice,” TODAY at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

Philosopher Ayn Rand was quoted as saying “I am not brave enough to be a coward. I see the consequences too clearly.” What have been the consequences of cowardice with respect to North Korea? What might be the consequences with respect to Antifa? This and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.
