Episode 107: LP Candidates for President, the CNBC GOP Debate, Etc.
Saturday, 7 November, 2015
[**Special Note: This episode aired at 9 p.m. EST.] **In the one hundredth and seventh episode, Todd, permanent panelist and co-host Muslims for Liberty's Will Coley and their guest panelists 2020 Libertarian for President George Phillies and Republican Liberty Caucus Vice-Chair Dave Nalle discussed the following:* 1. Libertarian presidential campaigns for 2016: who they were, what their credentials were, what issue planks they were running on, and whether they played a paramount and relevant role in the 2016 presidential race. 2. The CNBC Republican debate: who won the debate, who the loser was, why the entire GOP field was hereby antithetical to the advancement of liberty in presidential politics, who would mostly get the nomination, etc. 3. The allegations against Dr. Ben Carson by Politico, specifically the claims that Carson lied about his West Point scholarship. Carson claimed that he was offered a scholarship at the military institution, yet he told a different story to CBS interviewer Charlie Rose. 4. Quentin Tarantino attended a #BlackLivesMatter event called RiseUpOctober in New York City, in which the activists had spoken out against police brutality and the downright defense of bad cops that made up the entire law enforcement profession. These were the same people who defend cops killing unarmed, innocent people of color. Police unions all over the country, including Fox News' Sean Hannity, attacked Tarantino and the exercising of his right to free speech (which they oppose 1000%), saying that they were boycotting Tarantino's movies, including his upcoming movie Hateful Eight. Like that was gonna send him to the unemployment line. 5. The effectiveness of boycotts and whether they were used for the right reasons in light of the Tarantino-Police ruckus. 6. Fraternal Order of Police, a national police union, issued a veiled threat against Tarantino, saying that they had a "surprise in store for him." What were they gonna do? Kill him? Shoot him? If so, then these thugs would be asking to get shot by their sworn enemies in the libertarian and liberal movements. 7. Tarantino made an appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, who interviewed him on the controversy. Tarantino stated that he was not "anti-cop," but rather "anti-cop killing." [Clip included.] [*Note: The show was great, except for the end in which I resented George's belief that I was misinterpreting Wendy McElroy's buttressed court decisions on the ethical and legal obligations of cops. Of course, there was more, but you would have to listen to the rest. Also, Will and I had an aftershow talking about the entire show. I hope everyone likes this episode.]
