Constitutional Sheriff David Hathaway

I speak with Sheriff David Hathaway, of Santa Cruz County, Arizona, about accountability in government (or the lack thereof), immigration (his views may not be what you expect), and the power of the sheriff.

Sheriff Hathaway recently gained notoriety for standing up against COVID restrictions as the Sheriff in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. Before that, he was known as a devout student of Austrian Economics and a prolific libertarian writer having written many articles for LewRockwell.com and the Libertarian Institute.

He is also known in libertarian circles for the book "Immigration: Individual versus National Borders" where he debunks the mistakes point-by-point made by certain Austro-libertarian philosophers who have strayed from free market private property principles in order to advocate state-run border controls. On this issue, David is in the ranks of prominent libertarians Will Grigg, Scott Horton, Bob Higgs, and Todd Seavey in their opposition to that fallacious non-Austrian idea.

David is a cowboy at heart and is part of a five-generation Arizona ranching family. He and his wife Karen have nine children together whom they have homeschooled. David also spent many years working as a supervisory DEA Agent and saw the failure of the drug war first hand.
