Guests: Patrick Smith & Jack V. Lloyd - The Principled Position On Borders - A Dave Smith Rebuttal

The Free Thought Project Podcast - A podcast by Free Thought - Mondays

In this thought-provoking episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt are joined by Jack V. Lloyd and Patrick Smith for an in-depth discussion on the border crisis. The conversation delves into Comic Dave Smith's contentious stance on deploying the military to the border as a solution, a perspective our guests argue strays far from the core of libertarian principles.  While acknowledging Dave Smith's alignment with libertarian views on numerous topics, they highlight the inconsistency and deviation from these principles in his border argument. The episode also addresses and debunks Smith's exaggerated claim that libertarians support allowing "crackheads" unrestricted access to public schools.  Rather than criticizing Smith, the podcast aims to offer a balanced and rational exploration of true libertarian values, challenging the media's fear-driven narratives and emphasizing the importance of maintaining principled stances amidst sensationalism. Through engaging dialogue and thoughtful analysis, Jason, Matt, Jack, and Patrick navigate the complexities of border policy, libertarian ideology, and the pitfalls of straying into hyperbole and strawman arguments.
