[*Note: It was a great show tonight! It got somewhat heated between Mike Shanklin and Jim Davidson on the gay teen bulling discussion, but the remainder of the show nonetheless. The season finale was great; as usual, the show will be back next year.]

In this special episode, Todd interviewed PuZzLeD reality TV star Brooke Kelley a.k.a. The Truth Fairy for 60 minutes to discuss her involvement with the DC We Are Change event on September 11, 2010, NYPD's refusal to issue permits to We Are Change protesters for a megaphone, her recent move to New Hampshire under the Free State Project, her message to Ernie Hancock on Facebook about We Are Change in New York, her recent encounter with internationally-known adult film legend Ron Jeremy, pro-Liberty film and music projects in the movement, her upcoming website and other projects, and why she believes that the Ron Paul Revolution is dead and will not come back.

[Note: This is a great hour-long interview that we've had, even though we've only had one caller who asked Brooke Kelley a question. Other than that, the show was quite exciting. Brooke is a trooper on the air, and it was a pleasure having her with me today.]

In the seventeenth episode, Todd and his panelists left-libertarian/anarchist Scott Ferrie, his girlfriend and left-libertarian/mutualist Melinda Foshat, and Republican Liberty Caucus Treasurer Bill Westmiller discussed the 9th anniversary of 9/11 and the aftermath that followed, Time Magazine wonders whether Al Qaeda threat was overrated, the Ron Paul Revolution allegedly dead, Palin and Beck's 9/11 event drawing controversy, Obama declaring that "combat operations in Iraq are over," the never-ending Park51 (formerly the Cordoba Initiative) continues, Florida pastor who planned to burn a Koran on September 11th cancels it, Obama defending economic initiatives, etc.

[Note: Halina Brooke Reed was supposed to call into the show tonight but, according to what she told me on Facebook, her cell was charging and she couldn't call in because it looked like it wasn't charging. My Internet connection during the broadcast was choppy, creating problems for my discussions with me, Scott, and Melinda. Scott and Melinda were having issues staying on the show, but they did a great job with whatever they could. Overall, it was a good show, despite the technical difficulties (if you can hear them).

In the sixteenth episode, Todd and his guest panelists left-libertarian/liberty activist, Libertarian Party member/activist, and The Voice of Radical Dissent talk radio show host Corey "Cizzle" Moore, libertarian propertarian and former Boston Tea Party chairman Jim Davidson, and libertarian activist and saxophonistEric Fontaine discussed Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issuing an overturn of California's highly-controversial and highly-challenged voter-approved Proposition 8 (the infamous gay marriage ban), the Anti-Defamation League opposing a proposed mosque and community center christened the Cordoba Initiative being built in an Islamic community near New York City's Ground Zero on the grounds of location and sensitivity, Dr. Leonard Peikoff wanting the U.S. federal government to bomb the Cordoba Initiative, a Sarasota, Florida man charged with taking pics of a 15-year-old female's breasts, Free Talk Live's Ian Freeman arrested for showing up to the Keene City Council to engage in a "city council drinking game" because of people being arrested over people drinking open containers containing non-alcoholic beverages, and a Portland, Oregon bureaucrat closing down a 7-year-old girl's lemonade stand for lack of "a restaurant business license" and fining her $120.

Brad Spangler joined us from midnight until 1 A.M. EST to tell us what's going on with the Center for a Stateless Society and threw in his two cents on the topics of the show.

[*Note: Great show! Thanks to all the guest panelists, including Brad Spangler, on there.]

In the fifteenth episode, Todd and his panelists left-libertarian/agorist/voluntaryist Michael J. Nass, pro-liberty/civil disobedience activist Rene McMasters, and PFPMovement Radio's Anarchy Time co-host and fellow left-libertarian Tom Ender discussed Arizona's S.B. 1070 being partly struck down by a federal judge before going into effect, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer promising to take the federal ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, the conservatives versus the progressives on the Arizona law, U.S. soldier Private Bradley Manning being charged with release of the Wikileaks' video, the hypocrisy of congresscritters getting hot and bothered over the Congressman Charlie Rangel scandal, residents of Bell, California outraged by the salaries of its city's top officials, and Congressman Anythony Weiner (D-NY) goes into a tirade over the Republicans' "No" vote on the 9/11 health care bill.

Todd and his guest panel brought Texas for Accountable Government's John Bush on from 11:30 p.m. EST to midnight EST for a 46-minute interview to discuss local Texas politics, Porcfest (including the guy he called out and believed was a Fed), and the Texas-Mexican border and the Drug and Immigration Wars.

[*Note: Thanks to Michael J. Nass, Rene McMasters, Tom Ender, and John Bush for a great show tonight! The were awesome! This was a great show!]

[*Special Note: LCTL:SpecialEdition, which was originally canceled on Friday, is no longer officially canceled. It has been renewed for a third season, beginning next year.]

[*Note: For some unexplained reason, Brooke Kelley didn't bother to show up. I don't know why, but I hope to find out later. Thus, Jim Davidson called in surprisingly to take over her guest panel seat. Other than that, it was an awesome show! Kudos to Bill, Nick, Nick's friend Mike, Corey Moore, and Jim Davidson for making tonight's show an enormous success!]

In this special 60-minute episode of Liberty Cap Talk Live: The Special Edition Show, Todd interviewed conservative constitutional Republican and congressional candidate Delia Lopez of Oregon on her campaign, her platform, her positions on issues such as immigration, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, spending, taxes, the War on Drugs, and the economy.


[Special Show Note: This is a clean-version of the episode airing today at 3 p.m. EST.]

[Note: Delia was a good sport. I enjoyed having her on the show today. I hope to have her on the air with me again to discuss her campaign further.]

In the thirteenth episode, Todd and his panelists former Boston Tea Party of California Chair Joy Waymire, and pro-liberty activist/pundit Xaq Fiqq discussed RNC Chairman Michael Steele's factually-correct statement on our War in Afghanistan and his subsequent backpedaling after being excoriated by mostly Republicans and a number of Democrats, Ron Paul's public defense of Steele's comments on CNN, Rene's trip to Porcfest and the events that took place there, mainstream media saying that Obama is being allegedly "anti-business," the G20 protests in Toronto (including a group of protesters who employed violence by destroying cop cars and engaging in riots), a mom who was arrested because her 14-year-old son made dry ice bombs, BART cop in California found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, Mel Gibson spewing his explosive racist and sexist rant at his ex-girlfriend, etc.

[Note:Rene McMasters wasn't able to do the show tonight because she was sick, which is okay. Joy almost backed out, and I didn't think she was going to stay for the entire show, but she ended up staying nonetheless. Thank you so much, Joy! Other than that, I thought the show went very well. Thanks to both Joy and Xaq for a great night!]

In the twelfth episode, Todd and his panelists libertarian activist and pundit Jason Jewell, left-libertarian/agorist and co-host of Anarchy Time Tom Ender, and Peace, Freedom, and MovementRadio and Boston Tea Party At-Large Member candidate Michael Shanklin discussed Seattle Cop Ian Walsh who punches 19-year-old Marilyn Levias after she shoves him for trying to arrest her 17-year-old friend Angel Rosenthal on the non-violent crime of "jaywalking," Levias later apologizing to Officer Walsh and he accepted her apology, the public's shameful condemnation of Levias's action against Walsh, Obama accepted General McChrystal's resignation from his post in Afghanistan after he publicly questioned the administration's role in the country, Mike Shanklin running for the Boston Tea Party's At-Large seat on the National Committee in the wake of controversy stirred up by the Party's founder Tom Knapp and former At-Large member and current candidate Neil Kiernan Stephenson, Obama preparing to challenge Arizona's immigration law a.k.a. S.B. 1070, etc.

Former Boston Tea Party Chairman Doug Gaking was on for a half hour discussion from 11:30 p.m. EST to midnight to talk about the recent events unfolding in the Boston Tea Party, especially the controversy surrounding the fourth At-Large seat, the currently-running At-Large seat election, and what future would hold for the organization.

[Note: Former libertarian talk show host Nancy Robbins bowed out of tonight's show for personal reasons. Great show nonetheless!]

In the eleventh episode (and second season opener), Todd and his panelists anarchist/individualist bloggerJessica Geary and former Boston Tea Party chairman and libertarian/propertarian Jim Davidson discussed the events that took place at Libertarian National Convention in St. Louis, the LNC National Committee election, an altercation between the American Open Currency Standard (AOCS) and libertarian/propertarian Jim Davidson, Wayne Allyn Root's stooges and LNC political hacks threatening talk radio show host Corey Moore because of his LP convention news coverage, the BTP convention highlights including the appeal of the membership against the run-off At-Large election, and the BP oil spill and the media fall-out that followed.

[Note: Jason Jewell and David F. Nolan did not show up for tonight's show so there were only two panelists in lieu of four. Topics such as Arizona's S.B. 1070 law, Elena Kagan's position on religious freedom and immigration, and Obama's $30 billion jobs bill were not covered, but that's fine. They may or may not be covered at a later time. Other than that, tonight's season premiere was great.]
