In the latest effort to ban things, Congressional member Mike Gallagher has introduced HR 7521 - Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. But does it really protect American privacy? DL discusses.

Today, I discuss lessons learned from my own recent drama, a clip of Angela (the LNC Chair) regarding RFK seeking the Libertarian nomination, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and a little something interesting from Jacksonville's Mayor Deegan.

Former Congressman Justin Amash recently announced he was running for Senate, as a Republican. Being a member of the Libertarian Party and a long time libertarian, this brought the issue of whether the Libertarian Party should run candidates against a so-called liberty Republican. I explore this issue and offer my thoughts on the best strategy for the party.

Republicans sure do love forwarding bills in favor of the police. This episode reviews not one... not two... and not even three bills, but FIVE bills that favor the police at the expense of citizens.

Not feeling well, I was about to cancel my stream this morning. But while scrolling through Twitter I came across a disturbing video of a mom physically disciplining her son. And since I am the official LibertyDad, and I have some thoughts, I pulled myself together for a show.
