One of the worst cases of strawman arguments I’ve ever heard…..and I’m a Rothbard fan.
It's a good podcast, but the hosts don't seem very professional. Ryan goes "heh heh" way too often. If it were a personal podcast that would be fine (though still annoying), but if you're representing an organization (such as the Mises Institute), you should try to speak more professionally.
Fantastic!
