The Liberty Mic

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.

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.  ;)

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to divided government.  The UK government was not happy with the unexpected results of the Brexit referendum, and they don't know what they want to do next.  Will they come to some compromise or continue to delay until they get the referendum results they wanted?  And Roger Daltrey makes it clear he does not want to be ruled by the f***in' mafia.

First Amendment! Mostly freedom of speech, but there's so much more. Liberty Larry fails to keep me on track; so war lies. Underground printing press and the right to protest. And All-Licensing-Is-Unconstitutional!

At the LPA Convention this past weekend, we had the great pleasure of interviewing foreign policy expert, Scott Horton.  He can be found at:  scotthorton.org for the interview archive, antiwar.com for the foreign policy news aggregate, libertarianinstitute.org and buy his book Fool's Errand:  Time to End the War in Afghanistan.

So much stuff!  Always open with a poorly delivered joke.  North Korea, Libya, Iran, Syria, and why you can never trust the US government.  Venezuela's still happening; don't be in the dark. ;)  Headline: Scarcity Truism Restricts Green New Deal.  AAAHHMAZING announcements!!!

What happens when you need more money for a government project?  You just print what you need.  What could go wrong?  It turns out how we'll pay for the Green New Deal might be 'a thing,' and inflation might be, too.  Oh, and The Simpsons.
