519. The Hero's Journey vs The Victim's Journey in Pop Cullture w/ Remso W. Martinez
In this week's flagship episode, Lions of Liberty Patron and Sponsor Zach of Lorenzotti Italy takes over and tasks Marc with a show about how we can get the ideas of liberty further embedded into the culture. Accordingly Marc called on his partner in comic book crime, his co-host on the Second Print Comics podcast as well as author and expert digital marketer, Remso W. Martinez!
Marc and Remso discuss politics in culture, how they have approached inserting their own political philosophies into their decidedly non-political cultural ventures, and how they have both approached the ideas when on platforms with more mainstream figures who are not libertarians, such as Sam Seder and Ben Stein. They look at how major comic book companies in particular have embraced "woke" culture, and analyze the "Victim's Journey" - the trend that has seemingly been replacing the "Hero's Journey" in many pop culture elements by elevating female or minority characters not due to their own heroic acts, but their portrayal as a victim of cultural prejudices. This is fun conversation between two expert ramblers, so enjoy hearing us ROAR!
Listen to Marc and Remso each and every Wednesday on the Second Print Comics Podcast!

517. Jeff Hewitt, the Libertarian Poised to Replace Gavin Newsom as CA Governor
In this week's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, host Marc Clair is by the man currently overseeing the most constituents of any elected Libertarian as a member of the Riverside Board of Supervisors, as well as the man who has tossed his hat into the ring to replace Gavin Newsom in the upcoming CA recall election, Jeff Hewitt! Jeff details how he first became a libertarian and got involved in local politics in CA, eventually becoming the Mayor of Calimesa, CA, where he completely transformed the fire department by breaking away from the state system and having the city start it's own. Marc and Jeff then discuss why Gavin Newsom has drawn so much ire in the state of California, even from many Democrats, and why he is now in a unique position to offer Californians a palatable, libertarian alternative should they choose to remove Newsom from his office later this year. This is an exciting campaign that we hope many libertarians will get behind!

FF 277 - Exclusive: Federal Agent was Warned about 2016 Orlando Nightclub Attack Beforehand - with Dalton Morrow
In March 2016, Dalton Morrow was in prison. He says that he gave information to a special agent, which he overheard from his cellmate, that there was going to be a terrorist attack in Orlando in the early summer. Of course, there was a horrifying mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando in June 2016 where 49 people were killed. Nobody ever followed up with Dalton after he passed the information along.
We'll get into the specifics of what information Dalton gave to authorities and how the judge denied his release from prison, even when he gave this information with the understanding that it would help him to get out of prison sooner. Now all the court documents related to this are sealed because they are considered to be a national security risk.

In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc welcomes in Tho Bishop of The Mises Institute to make the case for the "Free State of Florida" as a new beacon for the liberty-minded. Tho first delves into his liberty origins that arose from his interest in the Christopher Nolan Batman films of all things, and how that led to his role as Deputy Communications Director for the House Financial Services Committee and eventually his role at the Mises Institute. Tho then makes the case for why Florida should be a prime target for the liberty-minded who are looking to vote with their feet and find a hub of liberty in their lives.
Tho and Marc also discuss a political strategy for liberty, why Tho has chosen to participate in the Republican Party and how the Libertarian Party could function effectively as a third party. Tho really brings the Florida Man energy in this one, and you'll be hard pressed not to at least consider checking out Florida after hearing this conversation!
