Bob Murphy Show ep. 105: Corey DeAngelis Makes the Case for School Choice
As usual, I push back at the end, to keep him honest… Audio here, video below:
Bob Murphy Show ep. 103: Harry Dent on the Coming Financial Crash
Here’s the audio, and video below:
“Quick, what’s the conversion factor?”
The obvious point of this clip was to ambush (in 2015) the then-head of the EPA, Gina McCarthy, for not knowing the % of atmospheric CO2, but what’s really embarrassing is that she (apparently) didn’t know that you could convert ppm into %. I sympathize with someone not having such a factoid at her fingertips, especially in a hostile testimony, but it really does seem as if she doesn’t realize what these concepts really mean.
Bob Murphy Show ep. 102: A Deeper Analysis of the Grievance Studies Hoax
Something never quite sat right with me when this story broke in late 2018, and I finally spelled out my concerns. To be clear, I’m not saying the three people shouldn’t have done the hoax; I’m just trying to isolate exactly what it was supposed to demonstrate.
BMS ep. 101: Tim Terrell on Why Big Business Favors Environmental Regulations
Tim told me some stories that I had never heard before. Audio here, and video below.
“Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen?”
When I was about 17, I was watching my 11-year-old brother talk smack in our front yard to a kid who was about 13. They were trash talking back and forth, and my brother ran up to the kid to attack him. The kid had clearly had some martial arts training, because he did a backwards kick into my oncoming brother’s chest, knocking my brother flat on his back on the grass.
At this point I came out of the house and said, “OK guys, let’s break it up” and dispersed the crowd of kids (all several years younger than me), who were all going “Ohhhhh” after seeing what happened.
I had done this out of love for my brother. He was clearly responsible for what happened (he was being a punk and braggart, trying to impress the older kids), and I wanted him to have some experience with physical combat to help him in the future know how to assess a situation. But, when I thought he might actually get hurt, I intervened.
For whatever reason, that event recently popped back into my head, and I thought it might be somewhat analogous to why God lets (some) bad things happen to us.
P.S. I understand that people in life sometimes die. So please don’t point that out to me.

I was on the road so I’m backed up in posting here:
