Subscriber @Weeda4201 got early access to next week’s episode, where my longtime friend and colleague Keith Knight helped me review 49 Murray Rothbard quotes on war and peace.
@Weeda4201 had a great comment on the episode that he sent me on Twitter:
In short, @Weeda4201 didn’t like Rothbard’s criticism of McCarthy.
I think @Weeda4201 took Rothbard as throwing personal shade at McCarthy, but I also thought Rothbard was letting the “perfect be the enemy of the better.” Perhaps @Weeda4201 agrees. If so, I very much respect and empathize with that position.
Rothbard’s take did, however remind me of the Substack article I wrote criticizing DeSantis.
In short, I praise DeSantis where he’s good and call him out where he’s bad. There’s a fair amount of good… but there’s a lot of bad. The more important the bad position is, the more it needs to be called out (and vice versa with the good).
I think that’s largely the proper response to this difficult issue of strategy.
I did not address @Weeda4201’s second tweet, which is also interesting…and will make for more bonus content.
Special thanks to @Weeda4201 for the subscribe and the thoughtful comment!

The first of bi-weekly patreon hangouts with the awesome patrons of the Liberty Weekly Podcast! We discuss war and peace, what brought us to libertarianism, and other great stuff.
