On this week's Electric Libertyland Brian can't help but revel in the astounding raft of utter bullsh*t being peddled by the government and media in the past week. First it's Iran and the oil tankers. Second Kellyanne Conway gets "Hatched." Next Alex Jones and kiddie porn. Then a black Boeing employee suing the company over a "noose over his desk." A rapper shot 55 times by cops sleeping in a Taco Bell drive-thru. A UK TV channel banning male-only writing teams. What a load. But that's not all, after swimming through all that excrement Brian looks at the Hong Kong extradition protests, CA firefighters unions trying to make life hell for ex-felons, and knit-twits causing a social justice warrior riot in the yarn world.

In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by friend of the show, Pete "Mance Rayder" Raymond, the host of Free Man Beyond the Wall. When I first found Pete and his podcast, I had never seen "Game of Thrones" and didn't fully understand how and why it had inspired the name of his podcast and his former pseudonym. But since then I binged the whole show, and it soon became clear to my why Pete was such a fan! The show conveys - perhaps inadvertently - many libertarian themes via the actions of many of it's prominent characters. When the show approached it's finale, I knew I wanted to do a podcast taking a look at these characters and themes, so of course the first person to come to mind was Pete Raymond! Marc and Pete look at a number of the show's prominent characters through a libertarian filter, and break down which characters best display libertarian qualities. Who will win the Libertarian Game of Thrones? Tune in to find out! WARNING: If you haven't seen all of "Game of Thrones" and care at all about spoilers, DO NOT LISTEN to this show past 18:45.

In today's episode of the flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc continues the trend of debates after the episode 400 discussion on abortion by hosting a conversation about the Labor Theory of Value, a key component of Marxist economic theory. Speaking in favor the theory is Marxist economic and professor Dr. Richard Wolff, while taking the negative is our old friend Antony Sammeroff, who was most recently on the show debating Universal Basic Income. The result is a great conversation that you don't often find out - an honest and open dialogue between two passionate people with two vastly differing world views. I'm really happy with how this conversation turned out, and I know the Lions will enjoy it too!

On today's show veteran federal investigator John Snedden joins the show. Snedden was was the federal investigator tasked with investigating former Penn State President Graham Spanier and his role in the alleged "Penn State - Sandusky cover-up." This investigation was commissioned as a part of a review into the renewal of Spanier's top secret security clearance. In Snedden's federal report he concluded that there was no cover-up and that no crime occurred! Mainstream media has conveniently pretended that this never happened! During this episode of Felony Friday Snedden shines a light on the extreme corruption in the Pennsylvania justice system that allowed these illegal and unconstitutional legal maneuvers to go on unchecked. John Snedden's appearance is well timed considering the recent news that former Pennsylvania State University President Graham Spanier's conviction was just thrown out by a federal judge. John Snedden is a Veteran NCIS Special Agent, previous "NCIS Special Agent of the Year" (General Crimes Specialty), NCIS Cold Case Squad Plank Owner and holds the distinction of having been one of the few Federal Agents to have been appointed and cross-designated as a Special Agent for the Office of Attorney General, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance). John was the recipient of the 2012 Federal Sustained Superior Performance Award. He currently works as an investigative consultant.

In today's flagship podcast, Marc is joined by a man widely viewed as one of if not the "most libertarian" members of the House of Representatives, Congressman Justin Amash! Congressman Amash explains how libertarian ideas first came to him largely through intuition before learning more about free market economics through the work of Friedrich Hayek and others. Amash describes what it's like to be the "loneliest Republican in Congress" - as he was recently referred to by CNN - for largely breaking with the Republican Party and even with fellow members of the House Freedom Caucus on many issues. Amash goes on to discuss working with Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard on bills related to the War on Drugs and foreign policy, what he's most proud of as a U.S. Congressman, and reveals just what he fears the most for the future of the U.S. For show notes, head over to LionsOfLiberty.com/392 Become mighty and learn to code at Mathbot.com!
