On today's show we welcome Drew Cook to Felony Friday. Drew and John discuss Drew's experience with the criminal justice system and his road to addiction recovery. Drew is an addict in recovery and a libertarian. He's noticed in the libertarian community a seemingly nonexistent perspective when it comes to ending the drug war, the perspective of the recovering addict. Drew has filled the void by launching: The Clean Libertarian. The goal of The Clean Libertarian is to spark a discussion in both recovery and libertarian circles about drug addiction, the benefits of decriminalization and the to expose the state for their massive failure know as the War on Drugs.   Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of Felony Friday Matt Freeman joins John to share how he went from serving on the front lines in Iraq to being addicted to drugs and eventually convicted of drug trafficking.  Matt is an Iraq war veteran, who was discharged for drug use. He was later arrested for “Trafficking in Dangerous Drugs”, the result of being the target of multiple controlled buys by a former friend. He was sentenced to 3 years in prison, serving the last 6 months in a halfway house. After his release, Matt taught himself how to repair cars in order to make himself marketable and has been working in the field ever since.  Matt hosts a podcast called The Statist Quo, which seeks to fill in the blanks left by the mainstream media on war and military matters, as well as exploring history, current events, politics and economics from a libertarian perspective.

 In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by the author of "A Direct Republic: The Null Hypothesis of Politics", Donnie Gebert! Donnie describes his political beliefs while serving in the military and how he began to look at government differently after leaving. Donnie and Marc discuss Donnie's idea of how blockchain technology will essentially make everyone "their own Senator", and just how it paves the way for what the "direct Republic" referred to in his book title. This is a really intriguing idea on how we can achieve a more free society, and I think you're all going to enjoy it!
