About this episode
In this episode, Michael dives into a thought-provoking discussion about the power of an armed population and the myth of the US military's invincibility. They explore historical examples, from the American Revolution to the Soviet Union coup attempt, where military units refused to follow orders against their own citizens. The conversation also touches on the concept of insurgencies and the idea that an armed population can raise the cost of tyranny to an unsustainable level. With a mix of historical insights and logical reasoning, Michael challenges the notion that the average citizen with a gun has no power over the US military.
