In this episode, I teach some of the fundamentals of real property law! Since we are all propertarians, we should probably learn the different types of property ownership that exist in our current legal framework.

Further cementing what has come to be known as the "anti commandeering doctrine," the Supreme Court ruled that: "Provisions of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act that prohibit state authorization and licensing of sports gambling schemes violate the Constitution[.]" Although SCOTUS is no friend to liberty, and cannot be counted on to limit federal power, this decision is a win for state's rights. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support...

For my first episode back from a brief reprieve from Liberty Weekly, I lend my legal analysis to a horrible case out of Milwaukee County where District Attorney John Chrisholm has declined to file criminal charges against police officers who tased a mentally ill man to death in his shower. It is of the utmost importance that the public understand why Chrisholm made the decision he did and what legal questions he had to answer. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support...

Happy (belated) Taxation is Theft Day! If you live in the geographical area known as the United States of America, you just got fleeced by tax season! Not only did the government forcibly take your income under the threat of violence, but they made YOU calculate how much you "owed" them. In today's episode I connect the dots between taxation being theft (or extortion) and how by definition, that makes us all slaves to the respective governments who would claim to rule us. --- Support this podcas...

Earlier this week, Trump made comments about withdrawing US forces from Syria. Shortly after, this comment was reneged and effectively stamped out by the establishment. Meanwhile, US coalition forces continue to occupy the Syrian-Kurdish enclave of Manbij with Kurdish YPG forces in defiance of the invading Turks. To help me dissect these unfolding events, I am joined once again by Kyle Anzalone, host of the Foreign Policy Focus Podcast & the resident foreign policy expert at the Libertarian ...
On Monday the SCOTUS dismissed (without briefing or oral arguments) an excessive force case stemming from a 2010 incident where Respondent, Amy Hughes was shot four times by Arizona Police officer Andrew Kisela.

For my first speaking even with the Liberty Weekly Podcast, I argue that there really were two wars for colonial independence: one led with words and debate by the founding fathers, and the real war for independence that was waged by thousands of average, liberty loving people through insurgency, agorism, and a passionate defense of natural liberty. Furthermore, I assert that every day libertarians should revere the second revolution over the first, and look to it for guidance. --- Support this ...
