Charles C. W. Cooke ~ The Liberty Forum ~ 4-10-2018
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution reads:
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It's been called "the amendment that protects all the others." A fierce, decades-long debate about its meaning shows no signs of abating. Some would like to repeal it, or re-interpret it to eliminate the individual freedom it guarantees. As a result, the Supreme Court is regularly asked to weigh in, and its pronouncements have profound impact on our exercise of this right.
Hear 2nd Amendment expert Charles C.W. Cooke share his insights on the history, current status, and future of this much-discussed amendment.
Charles is editor of National Review Online, co-host of the podcast Mad Dogs and Englishmen, author of The Conservatarian Manifesto, and a very recent US citizen.

Prof. Gary Wolfram
Hillsdale College
"Is Capitalism Good For the Poor?"

Free Speech Online (Rumble/Parler) Panel Discussion ~ The Liberty Forum ~ 11-10-2020
The Battle For Free Speech Online
A report from the front lines
John Matze CEO, Parler
Jeffrey Wernick COO, Parler
Chris Pavlovski CEO, Rumble
Astonishing: the election that took place this past Tuesday is not over. We don't know who won.
This is due at least in part to wide-scale censorship of conservative voices by social media titans such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (Google). They have suppressed discussion of corruption and possible multi-state vote fraud before, during, and after the election.
We knew that this censorship could affect the outcome of the 2020 elections, but this is beyond all expectation.
We can now appreciate with fresh perspective how essential free-market competition is in ensuring free debate and the free flow of ideas. A handful of startups are challenging the dominance of these left-leaning tech titans, offering alternative platforms with free-speech guarantees.
Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley proudly presents the leaders of two such startups, Parler and Rumble, to report from the front lines in the battle between free speech and tech tyranny, Tuesday, November 10.
