545: Why Milo Yiannopoulos is Wrong for Conservatism and Bad for the Liberty Movement

Published: Feb. 21, 2017, 8:41 p.m.

A lot of people have asked me why I've never had Milo on my show. I get emails from people offering to make the connection or suggesting I should reach out. It generally involves some disclaimer about how they "don't agree with everything he says" but how it would be "be a great interview and would get a lot of downloads." Let me state for the record that I love ratings and increasing my following is of primary concern as we work to build a bigger megaphone for liberty but that doesn't mean I'll do anything to boost my numbers. Milo's latest gaffe has cost him a 250,000 dollar book deal and untold numbers of speaking gigs. Since Milo makes his living preaching a provocative right-wing message to college kids his standard of living is about to go down. I've also just received word that he's resigned from Breitbart News, his other source of revenue. It's the trap many provocateurs fall into. They get headlines by making over the top statements about culture and politics but if they don't hit ever higher forms of socially incorrect discourse their fall out of the news cycle. Today I want to talk with you about Milo's recent comments about pedophilia and why he's such a bad poster child for both conservatism and the liberty movement. It's a jam packed show today.
