The show notes are best read over at our Substack page: https:\/\/briandoleary.substack.com\/   Tom Woods School of Life Adam and I are both members. Go to https:\/\/tomschooloflife.com\/ to get on the waiting list. I recommend joining the school.     Tom Woods 100 One of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. \u201cTom\u2019s orbit\u201d is loosely defined, but in our case, Adam is #11. Less than ninety to go! #TomWoods100   Who is in the Tom Woods world? I have a website that will go live soon with discussions I\u2019ve had with Tom Woods School of Life members. WhoIsInTheTomWoodsWorld.com   Tom Woods Show Adam was a guest of Tom\u2019s on Ep 764. YouTube Version: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ESb05ay5yfo   Movie mentioned: Rounders (1998) Adam astounded Tom with his Mike McDermott impression: https:\/\/youtu.be\/wZ7goMiVkT4     Online poker Try not to tear up after reading the story of the demise of online poker in the United States of America. The Wikipedia entry\u2026dig much further and you will indeed cry.   World Series of Poker Main Event An event that Adam HAS NOT participated in. He mentions the famous 2003 WSOP main event won by a \u201cnobody,\u201d Chris Moneymaker, a 27-year-old accountant. Yes, his real name. Moneymaker won a seat in the main event by winning a \u201csatellite\u201d online tournament. The poker craze took off for a while after Moneymaker\u2019s victory, known as the \u201cMoneymaker effect.\u201d   Battle Born Podcast The Official Podcast of the Libertarian Party of Nevada   Other Podcast mentioned: Part of the Problem w\/ Dave Smith and Robbie \u201cThe Fire\u201d Bernstein   Reno \u201ctakeover\u201d With Mises Caucus Takeover of Libertarian Party\u2026 (vdare.com) Libertarian Party Mises Caucus   Potential Libertarian Party presidential candidates mentioned: Spike Cohen Dave Smith Former LP candidate mentioned: Jacob Hornberger   Ron Paul presidential campaigns We talk a little about the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of Dr. Ron Paul. I did not mention the essay I contributed to a book called Voices of Revolution: Americans speak out for Ron Paul. The ebook now appears to be free at lulu.com. This book was put together for the 2012 campaign. There was a call to action on the Tom Woods Show for a writing contest of some sort, so I fashioned an essay and it ended up leading off the entire book (after the introductory essay by the editor). I encourage people to download it. My essay starts on page 17.     Nevada Ranked Choice voting fiasco \u201cNOTA\u201d \u2013 None of the Above \u2014 could it be on the way out? A good discussion on the Battle Born Podcast (with Adam) https:\/\/vimeo.com\/776379960     1996 US Senate election in Massachusetts The odious Bill Weld (R) ran against the evil John Forbes Kerry (D).   The California 12 district election from 1948 O\u2019Leary mentioned that Richard Milhous Nixon garnered the nomination from both the Republican Party (of which he was a member and sitting congressman) and the Democratic Party. It is unclear if this is true\u2014we took a cursory revisionist historical glance at the evidence. What is true is that the Democrats did not run a candidate against Nixon. Nixon was quite popular within the district\u2014eastern Los Angeles area including Pasadena, Pomona, and Whittier\u2014even with Democrats. The future president won 87.8% of the vote in 1948 compared to the 12.2% won by the Progressive Party candidate, Una W. Rice. Fair to say that most Democrats voted for Nixon. Ironically, the 12th congressional district is no longer a GOP stronghold. It is no longer in Southern California, either. Now it exists within the tony Democratic refuge of San Francisco. The district is also the bastion of one \u201cCruella Demented,\u201d known to her constituents and those throughout the nation as (former?) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Occasionally my hero, Dennis Miller, has been known to rant and once noted that Pelosi, looks like \u201ca Muppet washed on hot.\u201d I cannot disagree.
