In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy interview Steven Wilson, a senior fellow at Pioneer Institute and a leading voice in education reform. Mr. Wilson discusses his journey into K-12 education policy, reflecting on his early work with Gov.

He explores the intersection of K-12 curricula with race- and class-based politics and discusses themes from his newly published book, The Lost Decade. He continues by discussing policy recommendations, calling for a renewed focus on rigorous academics to close achievement gaps and restore excellence and equality of opportunity in American education. In closing, Wilson reads a passage from The Lost Decade.

Will 2024 be America's last free and fair election? That ominous warning comes from Stuart Stevens, a former chief Republican strategist whose clients included President George W. Bush; Senators Chuck Grassley, Dick Lugar and Dan Coats; and Governors Haley Barbour, John Kyl, Bill Weld and many others. He says the GOP is dragging our country toward autocracy, and the party is no longer a "normal" political party in the American tradition. Rather, he says it is an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As the Republican party changed, Stevens exited his role in one of the country's most influential political strategy firms and joined the Lincoln Project, where he is currently an advisor. Stevens wrote about his fear for the country in his provocative new book, The Conspiracy to End America. In it, he reviews the elements that are necessary for democracies to slide into autocracy, and he examines each of these forces on the modern American right and how they are working together. Are these the last days of the old republic? Or can there be a renewed commitment to democratic governance? Don't miss this talk as Stevens flashes a blinking red distress alert as well as a rallying cry to beat back this threat. Note: This podcast contains explicit language.

The 4 towns of NH operated autonomously and didn't need a seal. 1641-1679 NH was united with Massachusetts and used the Massachusetts Seal In 1680, when John Cutt became “president” of NH, separate from Massachusetts, a new seal was made. Only one impression of that seal has been found, but it is in bad condition 1682 Edward Cranfield seal Feb 1685 James II ascended the throne and threw a wrench into how the colonies were organized. In October 165 James II commissioned Joseph Dudley President, to rule over the Territory and Dominion of New England, consisting of Massachusetts Bay, Maine, New Hampshire and the Narragansett Country, or King's Province. In May 1686 the separate governments of the provinces united into the Dominion of New England were superseded by the central government so established, and their respective seals had no authority. (boo) Later that year, Sir Edmund Andros took over as President and the dominion enlarged to include New Plymouth and Rhode Island. Connecticut was added in 1687 New York and East and West Jersey added in 1688. In Boston April 1689 news from England reported that James II was overthrown and Andros himself was overthrown by a popular uprising. From then until March 1690, was without any government, either by appointment of the Crown or by its own people, so the towns were obliged to take care of themselves! (gasp!) Unfortunately, In March 1690 NH towns were for the second time, in Massachusetts jurisdiction and afterwards sent their representatives to the General Court in Boston. Luckily it was short lived. March 1692 Samuel Allen was appointed governor of NH. New seal made. Allenstown is named after him. Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont was made governor in 1699. He was the first of many governors that were joint governors with Massachusetts until 1741. Each Seal of New Hampshire in the Colonial Era had whatever the Seal of the Union of Great Britain Inscribed in Latin was with some variance on “The Seal of the Province of New Hampshire in New England.” In 1775 the colony developed a separate colony seal with a fish on the left and a pine tree on the right with 5 arrows bundled in the middle to signify the 5 counties at the time and the 2 major industries on NH at the time. In 1776 after independence was declared the seal had the words, “Vis Unita Fortior” until the adoption of the state constitution in 1784. It means “Strength united is stronger.” Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?

John McAfee is on the run again... from authorities and for president. What's in the News with stories on buying guns with buy-back money, voluntary conservationism, judicial mobile phone protection, Bill Weld, universal home visits for newborns, and secession. And Yet Another Bad Cop on a bit of justice while protecting the thin blue line. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES John McAfee, who sought the Libertarian Party Presidential nomination in 2016, is on the run from authorities... again. This time, he says a grand jury in Tennessee has charged him with felonies due to his not paying taxes to the Internal Revenue Service for 8 years, nor has he filed any returns. McAfee is now fleeing the United States on a boat and is adamant that he will conduct his presidential campaign in exile. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In not all heroes wear capes news, a Missouri man sold his firearms made out of scrap metal and garbage to a gun buy-back program… and then used the money to buy a real gun. In voluntaryism news, the creator of the online video game Fortnite, Tim Sweeney has made good on his promise to protect undeveloped and bio-diverse land in the picturesque western Carolina mountains for future generations. In even a broken watch news, a California judge has ruled that American cops can't force people to unlock a mobile phone with their face or finger. The ruling goes further to protect people's private lives from government searches than any before and is being hailed as a potential landmark decision. In OG Libertarian news, former Gov. William F. Weld is heading to New Hampshire soon and don't count him out of the 2020 mix — either as a Libertarian or a Republican. In cradle to grave news, if Oregon Governor Kate Brown has her way, the Beaver State will become the first to require universal home visits for newborn children in the care of their own parents. In secession news, there is a very real chance that New York State may split from New York City. AND YET ANOTHER BAD COP As happens every once in a while, there is a ton of news in a single week showing a bevy of bad cops. This week, though, there is a case that was a big surprise to me, as it shows a cop actually getting his just deserts for murdering a man. That's pretty rare and great to see. However, three other got away scot-free for defending the thin blue line.

When spreading the gospel of freedom, should we hide our end game to gain sunshine converts? What's in the News with stories on the age of consent, fireworks cop calls, wasted tax money, and some Libertarian Party convention news. Finally, and Ask Me Anything segment on insurance and defensive voting. This episode is brought to you by ZenCash, a cryptocurrency that infuses privacy, anonymity, and security done right. Also brought to you by Free Talk Live, providing you with fresh, pro-liberty content 7 days a week on more than 180 radio stations across the country. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES I am sick to death of libertarians, or probably more accurately, supposed libertarians, who somehow think we should hide who we are, essentially lying about our stances, and then, at some undefined, opportune time, we spring the truth on people about what libertarianism truly is. Sadly, I hear this sort of tactic mostly from people who can't define libertarianism in any literate manner to begin with, which makes it even sadder. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In the age of consent news, a 27-year-old Cleveland man faces between 15 and 30 years in prison for allegedly producing child pornography. But no children were harmed by his actions: The man merely took consensual, sexually suggestive pictures of his 17-year-old girlfriend when he was 20. In some good or bad cops news, Des Moines, Iowa, police received hundreds of fireworks-related complaints, but authorities didn't issue a single citation. In some good or bad cops news, Des Moines, Iowa, police received hundreds of fireworks-related complaints, but authorities didn't issue a single citation. In some Libertarian Party news, the LP held it's biennial convention last week and, as is to be expected, some good and some bad come from it. An interesting tidbit to come out of the convention is that Arvin Vorha lost his bid to be reelected as Vice-Chair for the LP. And, finally, post-convention, my good friend Tom Knapp created a new site, whoisbillweld.com. It will be, I hope, an ever-expanding expose on Bill Weld, his anti-libertarian, and anti-freedom positions, and why he should not be president. ASK ME ANYTHING It's been a while since I've done an AMA segment, so here we go! Today we'll talk about insurance to start off with then move into defensive voting.

I've had some major life changes the last few weeks that are really rustling my jimmies but will likely be a blessing in disguise. How can you help? What's in the News with stories on Bill Weld, hemp legalization, government waste, slavery in France, and New Hampshire it's like this too. Also, a Herding Cats segment on a PorcFest XV recap! This episode is brought to you by ZenCash, a cryptocurrency that infuses privacy, anonymity, and security done right. Also brought to you by Free Talk Live, providing you with fresh, pro-liberty content 7 days a week on more than 180 radio stations across the country. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES As you guys know, I rarely use this section for personal things, but there is something going on in my life that really has my jimmies rustled, but it may be a huge blessing in disguise. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In Bill Weld news, he is making it more and more obvious every day that he wants to be the next Libertarian presidential nominee. Last week he sat down with The Washington Post for an interview. In hemp news, the US Senate votes to legalize hemp after a decades-long ban under marijuana prohibition, and it's about goddamned time. In government waste news, Marin County California pissed away $17,500 in taxpayer money to kill a grand total of 23 rodents. That is $760 per dead rodent. Damn, I'm in the wrong business. I've killed several the last few months for free! In slavery news, France has reinstated a mandatory national service program for all 16-year-olds in the country. In New Hampshire, It's Like This Too News, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu is drawing a line in the sand against the U.S. Supreme Court decision that opens New Hampshire businesses to the sales tax requirements of other states. HERDING CATS So, PorcFest is over, and holy shit was it amazing.

Alfie Evans has been murdered by the state, and this one hit me really hard. What's in the news with stories on more government murder, Bill Weld, busybodies, cops quitting at record levels, and cop corruption. Finally, an And Yet another Bad Cop segment on even more government murder. This episode is brought to you by ZenCash, a cryptocurrency that infuses privacy, anonymity, and security done right. Also brought to you by NordVPN, the fastest, easiest to use service to protect your online presence that I've ever seen. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES I have been absolutely gut-punched by this latest murder by the British government, so much so that I almost didn't talk about this on my show, but I felt I had to do it. I don't know if I was gut-punched because the pictures of this little, beautiful boy reminded me of my son at that age, or if it was the fact that the British government has now been allowed to get away with this twice recently, or what, but this has been really tough on me. I'm talking about, of course, the latest case of a small child, Alfie Evans, less than two years old, being forced to die in a British hospital by the rulers of the country. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In more government is murder news, at least 33 people were killed and 41 wounded after coalition airstrikes, led by Saudi Arabia, hit a wedding party in northwest Yemen. In riding my coattails news, after my report on Bill Weld last week, Reason Magazine chimes in with their own article titled, "Bill Weld Lays Groundwork for 2020 Libertarian Presidential Run." In busy body news, a woman called the police to complain about a man's pro-gun t-shirt. In good riddance to bad apples news, in England, police officers are quitting their jobs at one of the highest rates since records began. In the rulers getting richer news, a former New York City cop spilled his guts, telling Manhattan jurors about years worth of bribes he and his fellow officers received for doling out gun permits — everything from cash, prostitutes and expensive watches to baseball memorabilia and exotic vacations. AND YET ANOTHER BAD COP I try to save this segment of my show for the worst of the worst cases of police actions, and this episode is no different. In May of last year, two West Milwaukee police officers broke down the door to Adam Trammell's home, confronted him as he stood naked in his shower, and tasered him 18 times until he died. This month, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm has decided that the two cops responsible for this horrifying incident will not be charged.

Bill Weld is back and is schmoozing the LP. Let's not forget how toxic this statist is. What's in the News with stories on 800 percent tax increase, government forced indoctrination, communism is bad, speech stopped in preschool, and a cop trolling for dates. Finally, an Ask Me Anything segment where I answer your burning questions. This episode is brought to you by ZenCash, a cryptocurrency that infuses privacy, anonymity, and security done right. Also brought to you by NordVPN, the fastest, easiest to use service to protect your online presence that I've ever seen. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES At the end of the 2016 campaign, I made a prediction. I said that Bill Weld would be back to run for president for the Libertarian Party. Well, he is certainly giving every indication that he is, and that is just further proof that the Libertarian Party is a disaster and irrelevant. Not because he is running, mind you, but the fact that powerful, prominent members of the LP are all over him slobbering on his knob like he's the great savior of the party. Some of the people are people I had a modicum of respect for. Well, one way to quickly lose any respect I have for you is to support a statist in libertarian clothing like Bill Weld. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In taxation is theft news, a city in Maryland raised the property tax on businesses by 800 percent, in, a bid to attract more businesses. How backward can you be? In government indoctrination centers news, California is about to implement new abortion- and homosexuality-promoting sex education lessons, and one school district has told parents they have no choice but to expose their children to them. In no shit Sherlock news, living under communism makes countries poorer and less healthy for decades, according to a landmark new study. Researchers testing historical connections between cultures found that whether a country had been under communism was the biggest factor for those with lower health, income, and educational levels. In more government indoctrination center news, students attending Pentucket Workshop Preschool in Georgetown, Massachusetts are not allowed to call each other "best friends." In an abuse of authority news, New Jersey State Trooper Eric Richardson reportedly threatened female motorists with tickets and arrest until they agree to go out with him. ASK ME ANYTHING It's that time again, where I answer a few of your questions! I've already answered all of my current questions from supporters since they get their questions answered first. This episode I'll be tackling some other questions.

Happy Thanksgiving Week! I'm thankful for you, my awesome listeners, but I'm also thankful for so much more. What's in the News with stories on Bill Weld, debtors prison, fake news news, big brother, Sessions being sued, AUMF, busted for hibiscus, victimless crimes, and libertarian charity. And, and Ancap Apps segment on the best VPN service I've ever used! WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES It's Thanksgiving week in the United States, and I realized while trying to decide what I was going to talk about in this segment that this segment is usually very negative in nature. So, today, I wanted to do something a bit differently. With all of the bullshit going on in the world, it is always healthy to take a step back and realize that we still have a lot to be thankful for. And I am so fortunate to have tons to be thankful for, and I want to share that with you today. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In O.G. Libertarian news, Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee, Bill Weld, acts like he's still bullish for the LP just shortly after helping raise tons of money for Republicans in Massachusetts. And, of course, overly pragmatic Reason Magazine is eating up the horse shit he feeds them. In debtors prison news, a Colorado Springs woman who has a newborn child was jailed for 27 days because she couldn't pay an unrelated pretrial court processing fee of $55 despite a judge's order that she be released on her own recognizance, a civil lawsuit says. In debtors prison news, a Colorado Springs woman who has a newborn child was jailed for 27 days because she couldn't pay an unrelated pretrial court processing fee of $55 despite a judge's order that she be released on her own recognizance, a civil lawsuit says. In big brother news, The House Judiciary Committee has approved (27 to 8) the USA Liberty Act, which reforms as it reauthorizes Sec. 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which authorizes the surveillance of communications from non-U.S. residents. Next stop is a vote on the House floor. The US Senate proposed a similar USA Liberty Act as well. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) introduced the Liberty Act bill which will reauthorize the controversial Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This gives US intelligence agencies permission to spy on and store internet metadata and communications of foreign people living outside the US, along with communications of US citizens which get “swept up” in the data collection In cannabis news, a 12-year-old girl in Colorado is suing Attorney General Jeff Sessions over what the lawsuit claims is an unconstitutional federal prohibition on medical marijuana. Alexis Bortell, who uses a strain of cannabis oil called Haleigh's Hope to keep seizures at bay, said that she hopes the lawsuit will at least normalize medical marijuana. Her best hope, she said, is that it will legalize it nationwide. In war is hell news, in a rare exercise of its war-making role, the House of Representatives on Monday overwhelmingly passed a resolution explicitly stating that U.S. military assistance to Saudi Arabia in its war in Yemen is not authorized under legislation passed by Congress to fight terrorism or invade Iraq. In not-cannabis news, Audrey and Edward Cramer, of Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania, were reported to police by their Nationwide insurance agent for allegedly having marijuana plants on their property. The couple says that on Sept. 20 police stormed their house, harassed them, took their plants and arrested them, while Audrey Cramer was still in her underwear. The problem for police is that the plants they confiscated were Kenaf hibiscus plants, not marijuana. In even more victimless crime news, a single mother of 6 from the notoriously poor city of Stockton, California recently made headlines after selling an undercover agent… a $12 plate of ceviche, Mexican food. In Pax Libertas Productions news, I have a huge favor to ask of you guys. Brian McQuade, the host of Resist the Empire, and I are trying to raise $1,000 for the charity Starlight Children's Foundation, and we could use your help! ANCAP APPS For years I've recommended Private Internet Access to people who wanted a private VPN service to protect their data and traffic on the internet. PIA is a good service, and I used it for many years, but I have found one that is even better and offers better privacy and services. NordVPN is a VPN service that has all of the features of PIA, plus many more. First, you can pay for NordVPN using Bitcoin for some added protection of your privacy. PIA allowed for this also, so this is a plus. Some of the features of NordVPN are just awesome though.

Secession is in the news again, and more than just Catalonia. Why is this good news? What's in the News with stories on a new libertarian country idea, police union outrage, Free Ross news, Equifax gets a government contract, Bill Weld shows his true colors, and body camera footage kept in the dark. Also, a Statists Gonna State segment on guns in America and a Herding Cats segment on two upcoming libertarian events. This episode is brought to you by Tom Woods's Liberty Classroom, helping you to become a smarter and more informed libertarian than ever before, for just 24 cents a day. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES After Brexit, there have been several secession movements pop up and several have actually made strides at breaking off from other countries. Sure, you've seen the news and the videos about the independence efforts in Catalonia, but have you heard about the recent movements in Cameroon and Kurdistan? Let's talk secession! WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In the new world news, Bitcoin Jesus, Roger Ver, is partnering with Olivier Janssens to create a new country, the world's first sovereign voluntaryist country. They have titled the project Free Society, and are looking to join forces with a willing government and purchase the territory from them. According to Jansenns, they have amassed over $100,000,000 dollars to create the country. In cockroaches hate the light news, the head of the Salt Lake Police Association has watched the country's outrage over the videos showing a nurse getting arrested for refusing to draw a man's blood without a warrant and has decided the correct response is to complain that the public got to see what its officers did. As an aside, sadly, William Gray, the truck driver who nurse Wubbels was protecting in this incident dies from the injuries he suffered in the crash. In Free Ross news, Ross Ulbricht has surrendered his claim to 144,336 BitCoins, or what amounts to $48 million to the Federal government through their civil asset forfeiture program. In I couldn't make this shit up news, the IRS will pay Equifax $7.25 million to verify taxpayer identities and help prevent fraud under a no-bid contract issued last week, even as lawmakers lash the embattled company about a massive security breach that exposed personal information of as many as 145.5 million Americans. In I told you so news, lifetime member of the Libertarian Party and the OG libertarian (according to Gary Johnson anyway) Bill Weld will be heading up a big fundraising event in Cambridge, MA for... the state Republican Party. And he is throwing his support to GOP US Senate candidate Beth Lindstrom and Governor Charlie Baker in the 2018 election. He will join Baker, Mitt Romney, and Jane Swift as the featured draw by the state Republican Party, which is looking to use its former leaders to raise money. In watching the watchers news, North Carolina lawmakers have made is much more difficult to investigate our rulers by passing a bill exempting body camera footage from public records requests. The law put law enforcement agencies and judges in charge of deciding what footage may be released. STATISTS GONNA STATE As you're all aware, there was another horrific mass shooting recently, this time in Las Vegas that took the lives of 59 people. I honestly have no desire to go over the specifics of this situation because there are plenty of shows that have discussed it and there is so much news out about it. However, as usual, there were immediate calls for banning guns when this happened. Hillary Clinton blamed silencers yet no silencers were used. Everyone screamed to ban automatic rifles although those have been banned for decades and there also was no automatic weapon used in this case. Washington state is proposing a bill that would ban most purchases of military-style weapons — such as semi-automatic AR-15 rifles — and outlaw large capacity magazines. Magazines would be limited to 10 rounds of ammunition or less. Even in New Hampshire, a Democratic representative is calling for banning bump stocks. So, let's look at some hard facts about guns in America. HERDING CATS Two awesome liberty events are coming up in February almost back to back, including one of my favorite liberty events of the year.
In today's episode of Lions of Liberty, Marc welcomes 2016 Libertarian VP candidate Judd Weiss back to the show to discuss his experiences with the Gary Johnson campaign and the Libertarian Party in the 2016 Election cycle. In the show, you'll hear: Judd explains his history as a supporter and friend of Gary Johnson, and why he chose to support and run with John McAfee in 2016. Judd details some of the strange behavior he began to notice from some individuals who he would later learn were under the employ of the Gary Johnson campaign. Judd breaks down some of the spending of the Gary Johnson campaign, and ponders why such a disproportionate amount of campagn money went to Johnson's campaign manager, Ron Nielson. Judd reveals some of what he saw behind the scenes at the 2016 Libertarian Convention, including shenanigans involving Alicia Dearn's endorsement of Bill Weld.
