The Liberty Mic

019: Spoonful of Sugar

An Oklahoma court case ends with a big penalty.  We examine the longer-term implications of the decision on our freedoms.

018: No Safe Haven

Reps. Tlaib and Omar planned to visit Palestine and rabble-rouse, but Israel said, "No!"  Then, Israel said Rep. Tlaib could visit her aging grandmother in the West Bank, and she said, "No!"  What part did Trump play in this drama?  How much influence does Israel wield in US government?  Also, we may actually end a war.  Yay!  Included is a Top 9 count-up shattering the Safe Haven Myth in Afghanistan.

017: It's Not a Video Game

After an involuntary break, we return with a brief background and discussion of the riots in Hong Kong; though we cannot help but address the recent shooting incidents here in the good ol' US of A. This begins an extended criticism of President Trump's response and potential consequences, when qualified immunity already provides a nearly impenetrable shield for abuse by local law enforcement. Then, we move to the worst thing Trump's done since he took office.

016: Broken Bargains, Abolition and Binding Beneficence

Why Iran will never be a nuclear power and the (hopefully) upcoming agreement, but no one will trust the US. Maybe the ships will be let go. How the American Revolution ended slavery. Some stuff you may not know about whose getting paid off by the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. Finally, should you be jailed for intending to join a jihadi group or are you just an idiot?

Liberty Mic Classic: Rights

This one is from the "Before-We-Were-Famous" archive. Most of you will not have heard this before, since this was recorded a little over a year ago, when we were still getting a handle on things. I warn you, I was not the genius audio engineer I have become, though I tried to clean it up. But here it is, Rights, in the raw, "what they are and what they are not." Enjoy!

015: What's the Cost to Virtue Signal?

Will a wealth tax on the richest families in America make us richer, healthier, stronger and simultaneously solve the climate crisis?  We're dubious.  Quick hits on the Democrat debates.  Rest in peace Justin Raimondo.

014: Lies, Lies and Twice in Peril

Press briefings, boat bombings and absurd allegations; a little history lesson; separate sovereignty, double jeopardy and loss of liberty (along with another little history lesson).

013: To Protect and Serve

Unless...  We discuss the Coward of Broward and the prospects of his prosecution, a New York man's arrest after shooting two burglars in his home and relevant cases about how the police have no duty to protect you at all.  It turns out, even if you carry a cop, they don't have to help you.  We end on the ongoing myth of the gender wage gap and some alternative explanations as to why women earn less.  In the case of FIFA, it's because they earn less.

012: Yellow Cake!

We discuss conveniently-timed release of a report on Syrian war crimes, Assange's alleged Espionage and some problems with the Act.  Then, we shift to US media deference to government narratives and, somehow, pivot to EU election results and comedic spat between Macron and Merkel.  We close on climate change, China and tariffs.

011: Get a Crowbar Instead

Memorial Day... As we move toward the demise of the Second Amendment, we discuss the reason for it from the perspectives of our Founding Fathers and the libertarian view of natural rights, important legislation and court cases. We finish on our absolutist views of the right to bear arms. Then with a few minutes to spare, we discuss corporate involvement in the crafting of legislation and why it shouldn't be a question at all.
