In this very special 200th edition of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair welcomes in the man who in many ways inspired all of the work we do here at Lions of Liberty, Dr. Ron Paul! Marc shares his own personal story of how Dr. Paul first helped him look at politics through the prism of individual rights and helped inspire him to become vocal about the ideas of liberty, before welcoming in the man himself!  Dr. Paul explains how he first began to think differently about politics, and how his search for a soapbox led to his run for Congress. Marc and Dr. Paul discuss the concept of non-intervention, the Federal Reserve, and political action in defense of individual rights. Dr. Paul also offers up some advice to liberty-minded pa [...] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we welcomed John Ziegler back on Felony Friday for a followup interview on the Jerry Sandusky scandal. John was a guest on the 8th episode of Felony Friday. That episode received such a strong reaction and I received so many questions, that it made sense to invite John back on the show to answer the questions and dig deeper into some areas of the case that have been completely ignored by the mainstream media. For those who aren’t familiar with John Ziegler’s work, he is a nationally-syndicated radio host, documentary filmmaker and author. John is also the creator of the website The Framing of Joe Paterno, which is where he houses all of his research, interviews and videos dedicated to analyzing the evidence that the mainstream media [...] Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair welcomes in globetrotter, CNN analyst and author Parag Khanna to discuss his book “Connectography”, which attempts to re-envision our world’s maps based on a rapidly changing, increasingly connected society. Parag starts off discussing his travels from a very young age, and how it shaped his view of the world. He then delves into just how the world has rapidly become a “supply chain society” in the last 50+ years, leading to a world where traditional maps reflecting the borders of nation-states don’t quite realities of the world today.  Marc and Parag to go on to discuss who the winners and losers are in [...] Learn more about your ad choices.

TheArthur Duncan II joins host John Odermatt to share how he transformed his life after a felony drug conviction. From his younger days growing up surrounded by gangs in LA to selling crack on the streets of Buffalo, TheArthur overcame both external and self-inflicted mistakes to achieve his dreams. TheArthur’s felony drug conviction led to three years in jail, but he did not allow that to limit his opportunities or expectations. After a teacher let him know that felons were permitted to practice law in the state of New York he wasn’t going to let anything stand in his way. Although, his path to a law degree has been far from typical, his story provides tremendous motivation for felons and people of all backgrounds to reach for the sky. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair welcomes Austin Petersen back to the show, to discuss his current run for the Libertarian Party’s nomination for President.
