#434 Austin Petersen - Former Presidential Candidate Admits "I Was Wrong About Trump"

About this episode

Zuby is joined by former Libertarian presidential candidate and host of 'Wake Up America', Austin Petersen. Austin opens up about the things he got badly wrong, from Donald Trump to drug legalisation, and why he was booed on a Libertarian debate stage for saying it should be illegal to sell heroin to children. The conversation covers audience capture, why big podcasters rarely change their minds, and how fatherhood reshapes one's politics. Zuby and Austin also discuss the cultural aspects of liberty, why the Gulf states may be the most economically libertarian countries, and if the American Dream is still achievable for most.
