Gabriel Nadales was an angry, bitter and unhappy young man—the perfect recruit for Antifa, the violent left-wing group which claims to fight against fascism. He says his beef was against the greedy, heartless power structure that didn’t care about him or society’s innocent victims and which had robbed, beaten and stolen from his ancestors.
Nadales explains that Antifa stands for antifascist, but the name is purposely deceptive. It is calibrated so that anyone who dares to criticize the group or its tactics can in turn can be labeled fascist. Their mantra: to blast the establishment, taunt police and destroy property.
But something powerful clicked within Nadales. He says, “Joining Antifa was the worst decision of my life.” So how did he escape? He says he encountered something good, friends who pointed him to the logic of Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell and Ben Shapiro. “What they said just made sense and offered me a better way to live.” He added that Antifa just cared about control and only offered him more anger and bitterness. Here’s the rest of Nadales’ story on PragerU.

Wreckless spending and the onset of the coronavirus pandemic have plunged the globe into $250 trillion in debt. Problem is, there is only about $50 trillion in coins and currency. And, the United States is taking on more debt during the crisis than any other country. So, what gives?
Economist Danielle DiMartino Booth says, “We’re being told that it’s all going to be fine, because you can just have the Federal Reserve finance all debt that’s being taken on.” But the consequences could be devastating. “I always adhere to (Milton Friedman’s) philosophy that there’s no such thing as a free lunch,” she says. “You can buy time. God knows we’ve seen a lot of time purchased but not paid for. So, yes, I think there will be ramifications.” Tune in to Valuetainment with Patrick Bet-David and Booth for more.

In perhaps one of his most brash pronouncements, the late, great Milton Friedman explodes the myth that the Great Depression was caused by the failure of private enterprise. Speaking at a banking conference, Friedman asserts that the view blaming the private sector for the biggest economic catastrophe in our nation’s history was held not only by those who supported a greater role by government, but by everybody.
“The Great Depression was produced by a failure of government, by a failure of monetary policy” says Friedman, former economic advisor to President Reagan and a past Nobel Memorial Prize winner. “It was produced by the failure of the Federal Reserve system to act in accordance with the intentions of those who established it.” Tune in to hear Friedman flesh out his theory in this edition of LibertyPen.
