 Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. It's episode 200 and it seems to have just blown by, you know, kind of like all this COVID nonsense. And that's sort of tied into how we got to be doing what we're doing here. This show sprung out of COVID. Some of us were working on Libertarian Counterpoint. It's a long running show out of Sacramento. And we had an issue where our studio was shut down. And so we had to start figuring out how to do it remotely. And so we started this podcast and we didn't call it Knuckleheads of Liberty at first. We just called it. James, what did we call? It was Libertarian Counterpoint Podcast. It took a while before we realized what Knuckleheads we were and that's when we began the Knuckleheads of Liberty. I begged to differ. I thought we were patterned after the fantastic 1930 vintage motorcycle engine developed by Harley Davidson. Harley Davidson called the Knucklehead. We are still Knuckleheads though. Once we start showing behind the scenes content, we'll see how big of Knuckleheads we all really, really are. Fortunately, we always have bigger Knuckleheads to talk about on this show. They out Knucklehead the Knuckleheads. Yeah, there you go. But you know, one of the reasons we're doing this, and I guess we could all go around and kind of kick that topic around. But part of it is just the craziness, all of the infringements upon our liberties that we're all exposed to. And I think we're all just a bunch of normal guys who are all kind of like, wow, this is crazy. All the stuff that's been happening to us. I know that's kind of what's gotten me going. You know, you can't just sit on the sidelines anymore and hope that things are going to get better. Because they're clearly not. We've shown the whole GDP debt to GDP ratio, which is like scary levels. We've gone beyond World War II levels, which is just insane. It's over 100%. And our current administration sees no reason to stop now. Just keep going. So I think it's really scary things that we're looking at into the future. And kind of things that, you know, in a libertarian world, you know, where maybe, you know, some social things that might just be choice where we'd be okay if we saw our neighbor doing it as long as we're not forced to do it. A lot of us would be okay with it, but we're literally seeing scary social changes as well just force down our throat. So what do you guys think about this? Why are you guys doing this show? I will start and I tell you, I am doing this show. I want to spread the message of liberty. And everything that I do on this show comes from the very concept that is in one of our funding documents, the Declaration of Independence, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now, at the end of the show, you will hear that expression. And you'll also hear what I have added. And now and forever, or now and for whatever. But you hear my ending. But the point is, though, we always and forever exactly is the ending. The point is, though, we must spread the word of liberty and we must spread the message of liberty. Jason, I'm sure you remember and James, I'm sure you remember. We started this thing in a studio just before the pandemic took off. It was, I think it was the last Thursday in February of 2020. And after that we were shut down. And one of you guys, I don't know which one of you guys came up with the idea, maybe we should go online and be pulling Tim. And we started, now we are 200 shows later. But the message of liberty is what's important. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always and forever. We must spread that message. We must keep on going very far, next 1000 shows. And I hope we do. Yeah, that's great, Leon. And that's good motivation right there to have for doing this. But I just thought ran across my mind. If we've done 200 shows, so we do once a week. That's 52 weeks in a year. Twice a week. Two shows a week. Oh, that's right. Even, even at, see, I'm a knucklehead. See, there you go. You're moving the point. Yeah, so we do 50, there's 52 weeks. We do two shows a week. That's 104 shows a year. So we've been doing this around two years. Yes, we have been. Two years. 2020. Fast time flies. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always.
