Felony Friday host John Odermatt was joined by fellow Lions of Liberty co-founder Marc Clair. Marc discloses at the very beginning of the show that he’s battling some food poisoning, but it will take a lot more than that to keep the “shining beacon of liberty” from talking about some felonies! As you can probably tell from the title of the podcast John and Marc talked about some felons who seemingly forgot they are no longer legally afforded the right to bear arms. They also discussed Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s signing of an executive order that restores the voting rights of 206,000 ex-felons. Finally, John invited Marc to play America’s fastest growing podcast game show “Is this a crime and should anyone do time?” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
