Happy Liberty New Year! And what better way to celebrate than with a Liberty New Year's Party, as Marc welcomes in some of his fellow Lions including Brian McWilliams, Howie Snowdon and not-really-a-hoodie-model J.B. Lubin.  Having re-capped plenty of liberty in the last week, the Lions start off by discussing their favorite movies of 2018, before getting into vaguely relevant topics such as the question "IF you had to give up one of your five senses, which would it be?", discuss possible Democratic POTUS candidates, discuss which deceased libertarians they would draft in the "Ghost" category of the Liberty Draft....AND SO MUCH MORE! Don't forget to check out the bonus show on Patreon where we ramble about the Libertarian Party, Ben Shapiro's debate opponents, the libertarian stance on cannibalism, and whether or not Howie could survive on a diet of pure bourbon.

Brian then laments California's "texting" taxation attempt and finishes up the podcast by gaping in awe at Elizabeth Warren's newest and dumbest plan to lower drug prices.

On today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined by the great libertarian columnist and author, Jim Bovard! Jim is the author of many books including Public Policy Hooligan and Attention Deficit Democracy, and his writing has appeared in numerous publications including USA Today, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Playboy, Washington Post, New Republic, Reader's Digest, and many more!  Jim starts off describing how his predilection for open spaces made him keenly aware of government interventions, and how Watergate further solidified that the government is a 'damn rascal', leading him to libertarian ideas. Jim explains how he's managed to wedge himself into the mainstream media despite his contrarian ideas and tendency to piss of the heads of federal agencies, and Marc and Jim bond over their mutual disdain for the TSA.
