“The Washington Post is Wrong”, but Scott asks: about what this time? Trevor Timm, The Guardian writer, lawyer, and Executive Director of Freedom.press, talks about his new article subtitled “Edward Snowden Should be Pardoned”. PardonSnowden.org, Snowden’s exaggerated leaks, what he really exposed, why he’s stuck in Russia, how a foreign government got everything from the NSA’s spying on the American people, and how this info is used to kill human beings is all deconstructed along with all of the government lies along the way on another great episode of the Scott Horton Show.

Is Gary Johnson libertarian enough for Ron Paul? Thank you for joining me on the sixteenth episode of The LAVA Spurt, The Ron Paul vs. Gary Johnson Edition.

I am still catching a lot of flak, even from many voluntaryists, for my stance on the Johnson Weld campaign. I don’t get it. I can understand minarchists giving me flak on this, but not voluntaryists. Minarchists love to throw the word “purist” at me like it’s some sort of albatross, so I just throw it back and them and call them “party purists,” because they believe the Libertarian Party can do no wrong, and we should follow LP candidates no matter what. This is party over principles, and there is no party that is more important to me than my principles.

I now have some backup in my message, and it is pretty solid backup, in my opinion. Ron Paul came out on October 2nd saying that he won’t vote for Gary Johnson either. Paul said he doesn’t feel that Johnson embodies a libertarian message. He also doesn’t feel there’s anyone in the 2016 field who people that want to vote “for liberty” can feel good about supporting. And this is exactly the reason I have said I won’t be voting in that race this year.

My guest today is Jason Brennan of the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. He is the author of Against Democracy, which is our topic for this episode. The first chapter is available on the publisher’s website.

John Stuart Mill believed that getting more people involved in politics would make them smarter, more concerned for the common good, better educated, and nobler. In the intervening century and a half, we’ve gathered much more data on Mill’s hypothesis, and the results don’t look good:

The test results are now in. They are, I will hold, largely negative. I think Mill would agree. Most common forms of political engagement not only fail to educate or ennoble us but also tend to stultify and corrupt us.

Sometimes pursuing happiness means stepping out of your comfort zone, taking a chance, and trying something new. The experience can fill you with exhilaration – or with anxiety. In Episode 36, Ross speaks with marketer, author, actor, traveler, and comedian Greg Stravinski about his passion for trying new things in life – and about how he manages to do so with a sense of excitement instead of fear.

Mickey Fulp, the Mercenary Geologist, sits down with Maurice Jackson of 'Proven & Probable' to discuss 1) Current State of the Natural Resource Space 2) Are we out of the Bear Cycle 3) What are the catalyst's 4) Gold 5) Silver 6) Platinum 7) Palladium 8) Stewardship of Precious Metals 9) How much allocation should investors have in bullion 10) Identifies the difference between bullion and mining companies. 11) Investing Vs. Speculation.

I’m back after an incredible trip to San Diego to attend and speak at the FINCON 2016 financial conference. This episode is a recap of my experiences as well as tips on how to speak to and connect with “mainstream” financial people (bloggers, podcasters, authors, etc) on why they should care about Bitcoin. I came away impressed with the number of people who had heard of Bitcoin, but unfortunately most people either didn’t know what it was or still thought that you just buy drugs with it.

In this episode I cover the following:

Bitcoin as an opt-in/opt-out economy

How Bitcoin is a protocol layer in the internet similar to Email or HTTP

The “moral argument” for Bitcoin and how it can help the “unbanked” population

How Bitcoin is grassroots and how it MOST helps the poor

Why Bitcoin can be used to protect from inflation

Why government bonds are a terrible investment

Current thoughts on the College Debt Bubble and “subprime” college loans

…and much more

Don’t worry, next week will go back to the normal interview format, but I just had to share my experience of FINCON with you. Until then…KEEP BUILDING FREEDOM!

Contributing editor at The Liberty Conservative, branded contributor for The Blaze, and writer for the Des Moines Register Joel Kurtinitis joins the show to discuss the future of the conservative movement and so much more. Don't miss out on today's epic and enlightening episode!

Raeford Davis, a former police officer in South Carolina and member of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition), discusses the murder of Levonia Riggins by a Tampa, Florida SWAT team armed to the teeth for a drug raid that ultimately uncovered 2 grams of marijuana – enough for one joint.

Paul Krugman writing in the New York Times thinks that millennials who support Gary Johnson are ignorant. Poll after poll shows that young people aged 18-34 overwhelmingly support the Libertarian Party's candidate. Krugman sees this as a danger to his preferred candidate Hillary Clinton.

Krugman rattles off a list of policy positions that he thinks would give people pause before voting for Johnson, such as libertarians' views that we should abolish the IRS, get the government out of education, and reduce environmental regulations. But he neglects to mention that libertarians also want to end the war on drugs, and reduce American militarism around the globe. If anyone's contributing to the ignorance of young people, it's Krugman and his shameless hit piece, which isn't so much an attack on Gary Johnson per se (since he doesn't support much of the LP's platform), as it is on libertarianism in general.

Today's Freedom Report podcast breaks down the article and offers a scathing rebuttal courtesy of host and former presidential candidate Austin Petersen.
