On this episode of the Felony Friday Podcast host John Odermatt is joined by the man know as the "Godfather" of the Lions of Liberty, Howard Snowdon. Howie shares what originally turned him on to liberty during his youth and explains why he has grown so passionate about criminal justice reform specifically.
Howie and John kick off the felony discussion with the FBI's change that makes animal abuse to a Class A felony, a topic that is surely near and dear to many folks. They share their thoughts on whether they believe animal abuse should be a felony and question the reasons why activities like horse or dog racing are not viewed as being abusive. Next, Howie and John discussed legislation proposed in Arizona that would criminalize the recording of cops in public. The state senator proposing this legislation claims the motivation for this legislation stems from his time-serving as a police officer when he was distracted by the famous Wilson Pickett. You can't make this stuff up!
Please tune in next week when John will be joined in the Felony Friday studio by Regina Hufnagel, a former Correctional Officer for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and now current member of the Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) community.

In today's episode, host Marc Clair is joined by the host of the "Congressional Dish" podcast, Jen Briney! Jen tells us how she went from being relatively apolitical to starting to question things while living in Germany during the Iraq War, and years later sprung into action after viewing a shocking admission from a Congressman on C-Span. Marc and Jen discuss just what those Congress critters have been up to lately, including the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and whether it's really about "free trade", and an interesting bill which ties in all the way back to the 2001 Anthrax attacks. Marc and Jen discuss Hillary Clinton's claim to be a "woman of the people" funded by small donors, and discuss whether or not the recent Cyber Security Bill passed in Congress really makes our private information more secure. All this and more in the latest Lions of Liberty Podcast!

In today's episode, host Marc Clair is joined by the leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada, Tim Moen! Tim discusses how a re-examination of his religious beliefs and a literal fear of being sent to hell propelled him to seek truth in the world, which has led him to a belief in individual liberty. Tim discusses how he approaches talking to Canadians about liberty, and the sacrilege topic of whether or not Canadians should have universal health care. Marc and Tim discuss common misconceptions many people hold about libertarians, and give his thoughts on the new government under Justin Trudeau, Canada's new "anti-terror" law, and makes his pitch for why Canadians who hold a belief in liberty should become involved with the Libertarian Party of Canada.

{Warning: Todays' episode contains fairly extensive use of adult language. We blame our guests...)
It's Thanksgiving week, and in this episode we give our thanks like only we know how - by getting together with friends to talk liberty over a few adult beverages! No, it's not just another edition of "Libertarians in Living Rooms Drinking Liquor" - it's our very first crossover podcast, as we join forces with our good friends at the "Johnny Rocket Launch Pad" for a Liberty Thanksgiving Spectacular like never before!
Marc Clair is joined by Lions' co-founders Brian McWilliams and John Odermatt, along with the Launch Pad crew of Johnny "Rocket" Adams, Curt Nelson, and Heather Nixon. After Johnny and Marc try to sort out just whose show this is exactly, the crew finally gets into some liberty talk. They touch on welfare, the minimum wage, Rand Paul, and the candidates for the Libertarian nomination for President. They then attempt to decipher just what political party Marvel and DC superheroes belong to, and try to answer the age old question: Is Professor X a libertarian?
So pour yourself a beverage, sneak a slide of pumpkin pie early and join us for, if nothing else, the most ridiculous semi-political conversation you've ever been privy to!

In today's episode, host Marc Clair welcomes writer, consultant and founder of the Borderless Blog and Podcast, James Guzman! James describes how he first caught the liberty and travel bugs, and how he found him seeking a life outside the borders of the United States. Marc and James discuss why everyone - regardless of their political persuasion - should consider traveling and even living abroad. They discuss the benefits of moving abroad as a strategy to achieve greater personal liberty as opposed to committing to remaining in a particular geographic area in spite of the political situation.
James and Marc discuss some of the different roles police play and how they are viewed by the public in other countries vs the United States. James addresses some common objections to moving abroad, and why the "New American Dream" of a cushy job in Silicon Valley isn't all it's cracked up to. Finally, James touches on some of the most popular destinations abroad for American expats.
In the Last Roar (34:09), Marc touches on his own experiences traveling overseas, and encourages listeners with some advice to follow suit.

In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair welcomes back resident Rand Paul analyst Brian McWilliams for another edition of “Rand Pauluses and Minuses!”, where they take a look at the comings and goings of the quasi-libertarian Presidential candidate. Brian and Marc discuss how several key Rand Paul donors and supporters are speaking up in one way or another in order to push him towards being more outward with libertarian values. They look at statements from the Rand Paul campaign regarding their recently reported fundraising numbers, and try to make sense of the outdated polling system and it's overvaluation as a measure for participation in political debates. Marc vents (who'd a thunk?) about frustrations felt by many Ron Paul supporters in 2012 when they saw their donations to the campaign diverted to Campaign for Liberty shortly after Jesse Benton pleaded for more funding to continue the Presidential campaign. They then ponder how long Rand Paul will stay in the Presidential race, and a possible dilemma which could see him facing a choice between a struggling Presidential campaign and a Senate seat. Lastly, Marc and Brian touch on the the quasi-endorsement of Rand Paul by new Daily Show host Trevor Noah, and whether it will help Rand's political prospects in any way.
So saddle up and strap yourselves in for the premier #RandyPants analysis on the Interwebs!
