Libertarian Rising: Talking Policy with Taner Lopez
Saturday Mar 21, 2026
Saturday Mar 21, 2026
The interview with Taner Lopez (Libertarian nominee for U.S. House in Virginia's 7th District, 2026 election) is a straightforward, principle-focused discussion on the @maximumlibertarian / @wearemaxlib platform. It dives into his "America Only" campaign ethos—prioritizing American interests, ending foreign influence (what he terms "foreign occupation" in policy and Congress), reducing government size and taxes, and advancing #REINDEPENDENCE from the two-party establishment.In the conversation, Taner shares:His background in theology, academia, and foreign policy analysis (including DoD-related insights). Strong critiques of interventionism, endless wars, and bloated federal spending. Libertarian solutions for Virginia voters: lower taxes, limited government, personal freedoms, and putting domestic needs first. Why he's running as an outsider to challenge the status quo and offer real alternatives for independents, libertarians, and disillusioned Republicans/Democrats. The tone is direct, unfiltered, and liberty-oriented—ideal for audiences seeking non-mainstream perspectives on freedom, fiscal responsibility, and non-interventionism. It's a great listen for anyone exploring third-party options in Virginia politics or wanting a fresh take on "America First" without the typical partisan spin.If this matches your episode (or if you have the exact title, length, release date, or key quotes), I can refine the description further!

When Self-Defense Turns into a Nightmare: Barry Todd on Fighting the System
Monday Mar 09, 2026
Monday Mar 09, 2026
In this compelling interview, retired U.S. Army Captain and Airborne Ranger Barry D. Todd shares the harrowing true story behind his book Stand Your Ground: One Man's Self-Defense Nightmare. What began as an assault outside an Arizona restaurant in 2014—where Todd, outnumbered and threatened, used his legally carried firearm in self-defense—quickly spiraled into charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault. Despite clear video evidence and his clean record as a veteran and successful businessman, he faced aggressive prosecution, incarceration without due process, and a battle to clear his name. Todd discusses the flaws in the justice system, the role of bias and overzealous prosecutors, lessons for gun owners and anyone facing legal injustice, and why he wrote the book to expose these issues and advocate for reform. A powerful conversation on resilience, honor, and the real meaning of standing your ground.

From his base in Franklin County, Virginia, Mitchell is taking on the entrenched two-party system in one of the state's most conservative districts. As an independent voice unafraid to call out corruption, political weaponization, and government overreach, he shares his platform for restoring liberty, accountability, and real representation to Southwest Virginia's working families — away from the influence of DC insiders and party machines.
Mitchell also dives deep into his podcast work on the Trump Assassination Files, where he explores what he describes as a near-decade-long pattern of coordinated attacks and vendettas against Donald J. Trump, drawing from public records, timelines, and overlooked details to challenge mainstream narratives.
Whether you're following the 2026 midterms, skeptical of the status quo, or intrigued by independent runs that aim to disrupt business-as-usual politics, this conversation delivers unfiltered takes on freedom, election integrity, congressional reform, and the bigger picture of political persecution in America.
Tune in for a candid discussion with a grassroots challenger who's not just talking about change — he's running to make it happen in Virginia's 9th District.

Rebuilding the Libertarian Party: Wes Benedict on His Run for LNC Chair
Tuesday Feb 03, 2026
Tuesday Feb 03, 2026
In this timely and candid interview, we sit down with Wes Benedict — longtime libertarian organizer, former Executive Director of the Libertarian National Committee, founder of the Libertarian Booster PAC, and a proven voice for effective, no-nonsense libertarian activism — as he campaigns to become the next Chair of the LNC.
With the Libertarian Party at a pivotal moment, Wes shares his vision for revitalizing the organization: boosting fundraising, supporting more viable candidates, increasing ballot access and local wins, pushing back against government overreach, and making the LP a serious force for liberty rather than a protest vote or fringe player.
Drawing from his decades of experience — including leading national operations, compiling real-world candidate performance data, training activists, and running for office himself — Wes discusses the challenges facing the party, his plans to unify factions around practical results, and why he's the candidate best positioned to deliver tangible growth and impact.
Whether you're a longtime LP member, a disillusioned voter tired of the two-party duopoly, or someone exploring libertarian ideas for the first time, this conversation offers an insider's look at the future of America's third-largest political party and the fight to expand freedom in 2026 and beyond.

Join us for an exciting deep dive into the future of human settlement on the high seas with Mitchell Suchner, Founder and CEO of ArkPad — the company leading the charge in practical seasteading and ocean innovation.
ArkPad is dedicated to bringing life to the ocean through groundbreaking floating structures and sustainable marine technologies. Their flagship project, the Reef Resort, is already operational offshore near Davao in the Philippines, serving as the country's first floating resort. Hundreds of guests have experienced its immersive, dynamic environment — a fully integrated aquatic ecosystem offering stunning 360-degree ocean views, sustainable living features, and a unique alternative to traditional beach vacations.
In this interview, Mitchell provides an exclusive inside look at ArkPad's current achievements and ambitious roadmap. Hear about the Reef Resort's real-world success, the upcoming addition of two Arkpad-D houses engineered to withstand 6-7 meter waves, and cutting-edge initiatives like ocean water mining (harvesting elements such as lithium and magnesium from seawater), ground effect drones for efficient long-range cargo, and modular underwater drones for exploration, maintenance, and aquaculture.
While seasteading often remains theoretical, ArkPad stands out as one of the furthest-along projects in turning vision into reality — opening the world's oceanic frontier to freedom-loving individuals through innovative, accessible floating habitats.
Whether you're passionate about liberty, sustainable innovation, marine tech, or building new societies beyond land borders, this conversation reveals the practical steps, challenges, and breakthroughs shaping humanity's expansion onto the seas.
