The Liberty Mic

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.

010: Riding Curtails

The Venezuelan Embassy is under siege. Is war with Iran inevitable? Tariffs are always bad! (Unless you want to pay more to let government waste more of your money.) Finally, the most emotionally-charged and divisive topic we've tackled to date. You'll have to listen to find out.  ;)

009: Stay in Your Hemisphere

Lots of foreign policy stuff, as the US threatens war all over the world.  Pompeo lies about Venezuela -- the more you know.  Intermission on Gaza.  Bolton lies about Iran.  Knowing is half the battle.

008: This Isn't Over

The next a-hole entering the Presidential race.  Government poisons its citizens... wittingly.  More coup-coup talk -- sink or swim moment for the opposition in Venezuela.  Are Bolton and Pompeo actually the same person?  We end on a plethora of pertinent misconceptions.

007: Nobody Has a Problem with This?

Journalism is a state of mind.  He/She said.  What happens in Baghdad stays in Baghdad?  Should you be in trouble for revealing the identity of a criminal?  That's why press freedom exists!  Finally, a laundry list of Trump mistakes in the last week.
