315. Is “Evictionism” the Libertarian Answer to the Abortion Debate? Walter Block Explains His Theory
The abortion debate has always been framed in the mainstream discussion as “Pro-Life” vs “Pro-Choice.” Meanwhile, libertarians often find themselves in a difficult position when trying to choose a “side” on this debate, as they try to weigh the rights of the mother vs the rights of the unborn child. Today, economist and libertarian philosopher Walter Block joins Lions of Liberty to explain why he believes his theory of “evictionism” is the answer to abortion debate that is consistent with libertarian value. Where do the rights of the fetus begin? Is abortion the same as murder? And what objection does Marc ask Walter that he has never heard in nearly fifty years of discussing this issue? Check out today’s show to find out!
Pride members will also have access to a bonus, off-air conversation between Marc and Avens O’Brien about the issue of abortion, so be sure to j [...]

On today’s episode recent clemency recipient Ramona Brant joined the show to share her powerful story.

In this week’s Electric Libertyland, host Brian McWilliams touches briefly on 9/11 #NeverForget and its echoing effects on the American psyche, which government takes advantage of to justify endless wars and domestic spying. Brian then looks at Rand Paul standing up for a referendum on AUMF, then cracks wise on the Ted Cruz porn “scandal” while also side-eying Hillary Clinton’s new cry-ography “What Happened” and asks, “which of them is actually guiltier of masturbation”? Brian also examines the effects of the recent hurricanes and the fallacy of Broken Windows economics, the $15.3B “relief” (and debt spending) bill, and a final thrilling conclusion to the epic tale of the PETA Monkey Selfie lawsuit.

310. Austin Meyer on “The Patent Scam”
Austin Meyer created a revolutionary flight simulator software known as ”X-Plane”, which should have hid him on top of the world. Instead, it saw him on the receiving end of a patent infringement lawsuit. Not for his software, but for using the Google Play store to distribute it. In response, Meyer spent two years travelling the country in his custom built airplane to interview other small business owners who became targets of similar patent infringement scams, and the result is the amazing and eye opening “Patent Scam” documentary. Austin joins Lions of Liberty to tell his story.

My guest today on Felony Friday is Curtis Drayton.

His prison sentence was commuted by President Obama in December of last year and he was released from prison in Feb 16 of 2017. Curtis was only convicted and sentenced to life as a result of what can be described as blatant corruption and incompetence at the hands of the federal prosecutors, federal agents, the judge and a probationary officer.
