The Liberty Mic

073: Outside the Velvet Rope

Without someone to keep him out of trouble, Michael sets himself up as an enemy of the state in this episode.  First, he discusses the Assange extradition.  Then, he closes with talks about the capital protests, perhaps not condemning them in the way you might expect.

072: Pardon Me

After an unfortunate break, Michael returns with guest co-host G.I. Greg to discuss Biden's foreign policy team, Trump's pardons (and lack of) and the prospects of secession for dissatisfied states.

071: No New Normal

Michael is on his own this time and starts with a couple of comparative examples illustrating the idea that governments' primary job is to protect themselves.  There is discussion of France's global security bill and compulsory vaccination, as well as what you're consenting to with a Health Pass.  There's also an anecdote about what the pandemic panic is doing to people.

070: Pentagon Reach-Around

More election lunacy, but don't worry.  We move past it pretty quickly, shifting to predictions for the last couple of months of Trump's Presidency and the beginnings of the Biden administration, focusing on foreign policy prospects.  We close with some observations of the continuing Covid craziness.

069: Porting Authority

The post-election but pre-resolution special with your hosts discussing prospects for armed revolution and the difference between power and authority.  But wait!  There's less.  Has the meaning of protection from government changed?  Why are there social justice libertarians, and who has infiltrated The Intercept?

068: Howling at the Moon

We briefly review the last debate, spending some time on foreign policy, domestic economy and health.  We do a rundown of Trump and Biden, and here's our prediction for election day.  HEADLINE:  Government Wins Election Again!

067: Quid Pro Joe

Lots to cover this week:  the CCP and the NBA, Social media and intelligence, Biden business, Trump taxes. We also reflect on the Breonna Taylor and Ryan Whitaker cases and finish with some review of the trade war with China and sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. It's an adventure!

066: Ready, Sit, Fight!

The VP debate, the Russiagate hoax (yes, still) and the e-mail debacle.  Plus, is the US a sexist, racist country?  Inquiring minds want to know.

065: Showdown at Samson Pavilion

We review the Jerry Springer-style debate and filter out the signal from the noise.  We close on a couple of international stories that allow us to point out some universal truths.  In other words, this podcast is a path to enlightenment.

064: Wacky Waving Branch-Flailing Treemen

We start with war stories and proceed to address the "Broken Window Fallacy".  We briefly discuss the US Supreme Court's purpose, limitations and expectations and break or inflate the hearts of all Americans.  We finish on a reasonable criticism of local law enforcement.
