Nolan Dalla and Matt Lessinger host a freewheeling discussion on the idea of LIBERTARIAN SOCIALISM, which sounds like a contradiction.
Guests included Greg Raymer, the 2004 world poker champion and a longtime libertarian who was once floated as a vice presidential candidate within the Libertarian Party.
Joining is Joe Stapleton, a stand-up comedian and television personality who is well known for his outlier views, humor, and sharp-tongued wit. Joe was a vice-presidential candidate once, but nobody knew about it.
