Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

As the future of the United States of America hangs in the balance, the Republicans predictably cowered to the latest Democrat smear attempts in the Alabama Senate election. After being political abandoned by the Republican party and many mainstream pundits, Judge Roy Moore lost the Alabama Senate election in an upset to Democrat Doug Jones.

Question 1: [2:19] – “What are the psychoanalytic meanings (and implications) of sex and violence, and why are these two forces of nature so often associated with power?”Question 2: [38:10] – “I am a baby boomer 67-year-old, born in 1950. I am quite disappointed in the woman who claimed to represent our generation. In general, I agree with Stephan’s assessment of our generation. I do however disagree with some key assertions he has made, as to how much one generation can be held responsible for the current state of the country’s financial predicament. How can boomers be primarily blamed for the looming financial crisis?”Question 3: [1:05:55] – “Me and my girlfriend of 5 years first met when we started a Young Americans for Liberty Chapter, we recently broke up with one of the big reasons being our differences in opinion on immigration. She is Mexican American with some of her family being here illegally. I am a Trump supporting ancap born to MAGA, while she is an open border hard ancap Trump skeptic. Should I follow through with my threat to call ICE on her step father who is here illegally and who sexually abused her as a child giving her major depression?”Question 4: [1:33:49] – “Empathy, as it is commonly practiced today, has been corrupted by Neo-Marxist thought, rather than being the premise by which two parties establish reciprocal affection for each other it is instead used as a political weapon where one party browbeats another into submission using emotional abuse and ostracism i.e. “Marginalized Minorities” vs “The White Man”. The concept behind empathy has been put at the forefront of my mind lately both through observing the current political climate and also from the negative treatment I have received from my Family for sharing these observations. If one party refuses to reciprocate empathy while demanding it of the other is there any point in trying to salvage the relationship? Is there any way that this state of affairs, both in relation to myself and the west in general, ends without devolving into conflict?”Question 5: [2:09:02] – “How do you balance empirical knowledge and research with personal experience and identity in a discussion in which both approaches could actually enrichen the argument? How would one value one versus the other and use both advantageously without rubbishing the discussion like it´s done so frequently, when one uses the identity argument to silence and shame the other, or – to try and see the flaws in both sides – one uses statistics and empirical knowledge to invalidate or explain away a lived personal or group experience?”Question 6: [2:32:19] – “I am afraid to have a child with a woman and have her leave from boredom thus separating the family. I am afraid of a woman lying to destroy my reputation to win custody or for winning sympathy after a breakup or divorce. I was raised by a single mother since I was around 12. My mother was never married to my father and has 4 kids by 3 fathers. I am struggling to reconcile my desire to create a 2-parent married household with children and living a MGTOW lifestyle. What advice or criticism could you give me?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

The already abysmal mainstream media has had a very rough start to the month. ABC’s Brian Ross reported that Gen. Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that candidate Donald Trump ordered him to make contact with the Russians - but that was fake news! Reuters reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for President Trump’s bank records – but that was fake news! CNN reported that the Trump Campaign was sent eventual Wikileaks documents before they were actually released – but that was fake news! On top of it, Beverly Nelson also admitted that she forged a portion of the infamous high school yearbook used as proof of her accusations against U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.

After many Republicans smeared Donald Trump, suggesting he was not a “real Republican” they were later revealed as Republicans in name only. When the mainstream media and Hollywood smeared Donald Trump as a sexual predator, they were later revealed to be hiding and protecting sexual predators. The FBI is investigating Donald Trump for corruption and collusion, and now have been revealed to be completely corrupt itself.Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump/Russia collusion investigation came under criticism recently when FBI agent Peter Strzok was removed from duty due to fiercely anti-Trump text messages between him and his alleged lover FBI attorney Lisa Page. Peter Strzok previously changed former FBI Director James Comey's description of Hillary Clinton's actions from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless,” interviewed Gen. Michael Fynn leading to eventual charges and also was heavily involved in the entire Hillary Clinton email scandal investigation.

Question 1: [1:39] – “Let’s suppose we accept the political climate as it is, that we accept its forward projection down the path it has already shown to be going. Where and how should we conduct the conversation, so many might call out the elephant in the room: overpopulation of our world. The idiocracy effect and those two working in detrimental tandem. We can see unnatural systems in place that artificially create the idiocracy effect, such as the welfare state or flying food bombs in sub-Saharan Africa; but there seems to be no sign that these bandaids and crutches are going away. Darwin be damned. Do we not risk large swaths of humanity being taken down the wrong path? Do we not face a swelling tide of lower IQ, higher aggression societies and cultures wreaking havoc on our world and the fruits of our intellectual labors?”Question 2: [56:42] – “How do you ensure your child is not exposed to bad influences? More importantly how do you prevent your daughter from being traumatized by an evil predator or a horrific experience? Lastly is there a way you stop yourself from becoming an overprotective parent, if there is such a thing as over protection when it comes to children?”Question 3: [1:52:40] – “In the middle ages, battles were quite rare, and warfare consisted for the most part of sieges. Roughly around the year 1800, this started to change, and by WW1, it was the complete opposite. In the middle ages, battle commanders preferred to avoid battle for fear of losing too many men. But looking at the battle commanders’ decisions in WW1, how they would send hundreds of thousands of young men to their early graves in a day, you would think their objective WAS to lose their own men. What explains this drastic change in warfare?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

The possibility of a United States led conflict with North Korea has put a spotlight on the shocking history of the “Great Leader” Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong-un and the DPRK: Democratic People's Republic of Korea. With hundreds of thousands estimated to be held in concentration camps, rampant starvation, endless threats of violence and cradle to grave propaganda, the North Korean people are living the equivalent of hell on earth.
