Does chaos ultimately triumph over order? Should our society place greater value on individual rights vs. collectivism? And what does this have to do with Marvel's "Loki?"

In this bonus segment from "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Stephen sits down with Brian Nichols of the Libertarian Podcast Network for a conversation about the political themes behind the Disney Plus hit and what the power dynamics behind the Time Variance Authority can teach us about our own government.
