This week, we examine the newest Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker's amount of gay on the Gayest of Scales, talk about gender pronouns and burgerless burgers and Tennessee's General Assembly's bill that would require students to play sports based on the gender assigned on their birth certificates.

Trump officials - including Trump himself today - have been steadily pulling back from initial claims after the January 3rd assassination of Iranian top general Soleimani that he was killed because of "imminent threats" of attack led by the Iranian.

Former CIA officer Phil Giraldi joins the Liberty Report to try and unpack the competing claims and whirlwind of lies surrounding the targeted killing.

This is an awareness episode to bring to the foreground a HUGE rally taking place in Richmond Virginia. This was put together thanks to people like Thomas Bennett. The rally is January 20th 2020 at 8am. The address for the state house is 1000 Bank Street Richmond, VA 23219.
