Within hours of Joe Biden's announcement that he was bowing out of the presidential race Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee. With the full weight of the Democratic party behind her and no opposition to speak of, VP Harris has been awarded the top ticket that proved so elusive to her four years ago. To her supporters, she is uniquely qualified to beat President Trump in November. Her prosecutorial debate skills, experience in the White House, and diverse background has excited voters and attracted moderates who were growing tired of Joe Biden. To her detractors, she is the same Kamala who flamed out early in the 2020 Democratic primaries, was a deeply unpopular Vice President, has an awkward stage presence, no real policy platform, and is too liberal to appeal to swing voters. In anointing Kamala Harris without any real contest, they argue, the DNC has hitched their wagon to an untested candidate who will all but guarantee a Donald Trump victory in November. Arguing in favour of the resolution is Cheri Jacobus, a nationally-recognized political strategist, pundit and writer whose podcast, Politics with Cheri Jacobus, covers all the news coming out of Washington. Arguing against the resolution is Elizabeth Nolan Brown, the Senior Editor of Reason Magazine.   The host of this Munk Debates podcast episode is Rudyard Griffiths.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comMike Lacey and Jim Larkin launched Phoenix New Times in 1970. Working out of a closet in a women's clothing store, the paper covered stories most media at the time would not, including then-Arizona senator John McCain's involvement with the Charles Keating Savings & Loan scandal, McCain's wife Cindy forging subscriptions and stealing pills from a children's charity she'd founded, and the humanitarian horrors associated with Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio. “You get paid for castrations,” Lacey would tell the makers of HOLD FAST, an Audible podcast that covers New Times' salad days and what came later, including the fateful turn when people the paper had once gone after went after them, including the McCains, Arpaio, and then-senator Kamala Harris.As Sarah recently wrote for the Dallas Morning News:“Things don't turn out well for Lacey, or his more copacetic business partner Larkin, as they get dragged through two federal trials on charges of money laundering and (buried the lede) sex trafficking, thanks to the adult ads that were once the lifeblood of alt-weekly revenue and which the pair spun into the notorious Backpage.com, prompting the Justice Department to label them the biggest pimps in the history of the world. Whether these two men are free-speech champions, or smug bastards hoisted on their own petards, will be for the listener to decide.”HOLD FAST, named for the words Lacey tattooed across his knuckles, is created by former New Times writers Trevor Aaronson (also behind the podcasts “American ISIS” and “Alphabet Boys”), Sam Eifling, and Michael J. Mooney, who joins Nancy and Sarah - who spent a combined 25 years in the alt-weekly trenches - to talk about working for New Times during its heyday. “It was a meat grinder of employment, but also, the Shangri-La of journalism,” he says. “It was both things at once.”Also discussed:* Eclipse!* postrate not prostate* Post Malone does a chicken commercial* “We don't get the free speech warriors we want, we get the free speech warriors we deserve”* Erotic cake toppers, anyone?* Does Sarah love Mike Lacey? Does she hate Mike Lacey? Maybe both?* Who did — and who did not — get those $5000 checks* Reason magazine's Elizabeth Nolan Brown does heroic journalism* A gift from Wallace leads to the tiniest Viking burial?This episode of Smoke ‘Em, dealing with the threats to journalism and free speech, is, maybe not paradoxically for former alt-weekly scribes who covered the “freak beat” (Mooney), interviewed serial killers (Nancy), and walked around the office barefoot (Sarah), also one of its funniest. HOLD FAST is available on Audible.

We're joined today by Elizabeth Nolan Brown, Robert Corn-Revere, and Ronnie London to discuss the history and verdict of the Backpage trial.  Backpage.com was an online classified advertising service founded in 2004. As a chief competitor to Craigslist, Backpage allowed users to post ads to categories such as personals, automotive, rentals, jobs and — most notably — adult services. In 2018, the website domain was seized by the FBI and its executives were prosecuted under federal prostitution and money laundering statutes. The trial concluded this year, resulting in the acquittal and convictions of several key executives.  Some First Amendment advocates are concerned that the Backpage case represents a “slippery slope” for the prosecution of protected speech and the rights of websites that host user-generated content. Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason Magazine, where she has written about the Backpage case in detail.  Robert Corn-Revere is FIRE's chief counsel and a frequent guest of the show. Prior to joining FIRE, he represented Backpage in private practice. Ronnie London is FIRE's general counsel and another frequent guest of the show. He also represented Backpage when he was in private practice prior to joining FIRE.

There's a growing call for the federal government to consider breaking up some of the country's largest tech companies – similar to how it went after railroad barons of the 19th century. Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason and the main author of Reason's morning newsletter, the Reason Roundup. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why this focus on anti-trust lawsuits isn't popular with the general population and may be blowing the problems created by big tech well out of proportion. Her article is “The Tech Giants Were Always Doomed.”

As fertility rates fall in much of the world, many policymakers are considering expensive policies intended to raise birth rates and support families more broadly. But do those policies work, and should government play a role in trying to reverse this trend? And is the best way to support families an expansion in government programs or it is simply getting government out of parents' way? Experts on fertility and family policy, Vanessa Brown Calder, Chelsea Follett, Julie Gunlock, and Elizabeth Nolan Brown will address these critical issues. In addition to discussing fertility trends, participants will consider government policies that make it difficult for parents to obtain the flexibility, resources, and peace of mind needed to thrive in their roles, including policies that drive up the cost of housing, childcare, and other family essentials.

It's 2007. Spider-Man 3 is the top grossing film at the box office. Beyonce's “Irreplaceable” is the biggest hit song. American Idol is the most watched TV show.It was also the last time that the United States was at replacement level fertility, which is 2.1 children born per woman. In the years following, through the ups and downs of the great recession, the 2016 election, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate has fallen to 1.66 children per woman. When you zoom out, you'll see that American birth rates have been falling for decades. But this is far from the phenomenon isolated to the United States. The 2020 fertility rate in the U.K. was 1.6. In Germany it was 1.5. Finland hit 1.4. Denmark and Sweden were both at 1.7. In South Korea, it's a shocking 0.81.In response to these long-run trends, some have advocated pro-natalist government policies to incentivize more reproduction, or to at least smooth the way for people who want to have more kids. But are the policies effective? Elizabeth Nolan Brown, senior editor at Reason magazine, says “no.” In the cover story for the June 2023 issue of Reason, Brown surveys the flagging international reproductive landscape and the government policies that have been enacted to address that problem. In the end, she advocates, at a minimum, not panicking.Today, Eric Kohn talks to Elizabeth Nolan Brown about the falling birthrates, failing pro-natalist policies, and how we should think about a world when fewer and fewer people are expecting.Subscribe to our podcastsStorks Don't Take Orders From the State | Reason Hosted on Acast.

To fill that void, Jonah's joined today by Elizabeth Nolan Brown, a senior editor at Reason, to discuss her cover story for the latest issue of the magazine, “Storks Don't Take Orders From the State.” Together, they discuss the many burning questions surrounding baby-making in modern America: Why are fertility rates falling (spoiler: Elizabeth doesn't think it's because there's a crippling sex recession)?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/13/2023): 3:05pm- Following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced they will guarantee all customer deposits—even those exceeding the FDIC's standard $250,000 per depositor guarantee. According to The Wall Street Journal, “[a] senior Treasury official said the steps didn't constitute a bailout because stock and bondholders in SVB and Signature wouldn't be protected.” Silicon Valley Bank had been the 16th largest bank in America with an estimated $175 billion in deposits, but after losing billions investing in long-term assets, customers attempted to withdraw an estimated $42 billion in deposits resulting in the bank's ultimate collapse. Read more about SVB's collapse here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-reserve-rolls-out-emergency-measures-to-prevent-banking-crisis-ba4d7f98 3:30pm- Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown critiques the U.S. government's decision to guarantee all deposits with no limit—writing, “[f]or one thing, banks are themselves taxpayers. And in situations like this, the many institutions who act responsibly must bear the burden of bank fees in order to inoculate less responsible actors. Besides, these fees assessed on banks don't exist in a vacuum that only burdens big businesses; banks pass on the costs of regulatory compliance to customers in a number of ways. So, the idea that the government's bailout funds come from some sort of magical pool of consequence-free money is silly.” You can read Brown's editorial here: https://reason.com/2023/03/13/everyone-is-learning-the-wrong-lessons-from-the-silicon-valley-bank-collapse/ 3:40pm- Who is to blame for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank? On Monday, President Joe Biden blamed the Trump Administration for “rolling back” the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a federal law designed to regulate the nation's financial services industry. However, The New York Post notes that Barney Frank—the former Congressman for whom the bill is named—was a member of the Board of Directors at Signature Bank when it collapsed over the weekend. 4:00pm- While appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Congressman James Comer (R-KY) suggested that Silicon Valley Bank's “quest for ESG [Environment, Social, and Governance] policies” may have played a role in its collapse. 4:10pm- On Monday, President Joe Biden called the U.S. banking system “safe” and credited his administration's decisions—specifically guaranteeing all deposits at Silicon Valley Bank—for avoiding the contagion-like collapse of multiple banks. But didn't the Federal Reserve ultimately decide to bailout depositors? 4:30pm- During her acceptance speech at Sunday's 95th Annual Academy Awards, Best Actress in a Leading Role Michelle Yeoh took a shot at CNN's Don Lemon for his comments about women of a certain age being “past their prime.” 4:45pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow for Regional Economics in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to explain the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Dr. Antoni debunks the Biden Administration's narrative that the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are not bailing out depositors with taxpayer dollars. Will the decision to bailout SVB's “gross fiscal mismanagement” encourage other banks to take on risky investments, operating under the assumption that if things go wrong the federal government will step in and save the day? 5:00pm- The Drive at 5: Dave McCormick—Veteran and former Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his new book, “Superpower in Peril: A Battle Plan to Renew America.” How do we decouple from China and assure American hegemony? PLUS is McCormick planning to challenge three-term Senator Bob Casey Jr. (D-PA) in 2024? McCormick's book releases March 14th: https://www.amazon.com/Superpower-Peril-Battle-Renew-America/dp/1546001956 5:20pm- During his acceptance speech at Sunday's 95th Annual Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor Ke Huy Quan told his amazing life story—from refugee to Hollywood star, exclaiming, “This is the American Dream!” 5:40pm- WHYY reporter Cherri Gregg accused Fox 29 reporter Steve Keely's crime coverage in Philadelphia of being “very harmful” and claims it “scares people.” Is even reporting on unmitigated violence now problematic? And with over 500 homicides in Philadelphia in 2022, isn't the city inherently scary? Read more about Victor Fiorillo's editorial here:https://www.phillymag.com/news/2023/03/10/steve-keeley-fox-29/ 6:05pm- Andy Bloom—President of Andy Bloom Communications—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial at Broad + Liberty, “Biden Plays the Blame Game.” Bloom documents the Biden Administration's instance to fault Donald Trump for everything that goes wrong. Bloom writes, “Biden has consistently blamed Trump for Covid deaths…Although largely ignored now, the Afghanistan withdrawal is one of Biden's biggest and deadliest disasters. At the time, Biden explained it was Trump's fault for making a deal with the Taliban. For some reason, THIS was the one Trump policy Biden was bound to and couldn't change. Although the last troops withdrew after the negotiated date, Biden still blamed Trump…When the Biden administration had to acknowledge that a Chinese spy balloon had penetrated U.S. airspace, they were quick to add that three prior incidents happened when Trump was president.” You can read Bloom's article here: https://broadandliberty.com/2023/03/09/andy-bloom-biden-plays-the-blame-game/ 6:30pm- While appearing on Fox News with Larry Kudlow, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Kevin Hassett revealed that buyers were willing to “step in” and purchase Silicon Valley Bank. 6:35pm- While speaking with Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) on ABC''s This Week, host Martha Raddatz baselessly claimed the Trump Administration was responsible for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.                          6:45pm- Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and MSNBC Commentator Jen Psaki have all publicly considered the idea of censoring Fox News.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced they will guarantee all customer deposits—even those exceeding the FDIC's standard $250,000 per depositor guarantee. According to The Wall Street Journal, “[a] senior Treasury official said the steps didn't constitute a bailout because stock and bondholders in SVB and Signature wouldn't be protected.” Silicon Valley Bank had been the 16th largest bank in America with an estimated $175 billion in deposits, but after losing billions investing in long-term assets customers attempted to withdraw an estimated $42 billion in deposits resulting in the bank's ultimate collapse. Read more about SVB's collapse here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-reserve-rolls-out-emergency-measures-to-prevent-banking-crisis-ba4d7f98 Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown critiques the U.S. government's decision to guarantee all deposits with no limit—writing, “[f]or one thing, banks are themselves taxpayers. And in situations like this, the many institutions who act responsibly must bear the burden of bank fees in order to inoculate less responsible actors. Besides, these fees assessed on banks don't exist in a vacuum that only burdens big businesses; banks pass on the costs of regulatory compliance to customers in a number of ways. So, the idea that the government's bailout funds come from some sort of magical pool of consequence-free money is silly.” You can read Brown's editorial here: https://reason.com/2023/03/13/everyone-is-learning-the-wrong-lessons-from-the-silicon-valley-bank-collapse/ Who is to blame for the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank? On Monday, President Joe Biden blamed the Trump Administration for “rolling back” the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a federal law designed to regulate the nation's financial services industry. However, The New York Post notes that Barney Frank—the former Congressman for whom the bill is named—was a member of the Board of Directors at Signature Bank when it collapsed over the weekend.

According to Elizabeth Nolan Brown of Reason, the media may be exaggerating the results of a study published in Nature Medicine. Rich explores what motivates the media to continually scare American citizens. His conclusion: to keep people reliant upon the federal government and experts. PLUS during an interview with MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff vowed to use his platform to combat “toxic masculinity.” During her Thursday press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that President Joe Biden supports Washington D.C. becoming America's 51st state. On Thursday, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) tweeted: “A government that controls enough resources to create a virus that kills its citizens is a government that has grown too large. The US government was complicit in the creation of COVID-19.” On The View, hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg blamed former President Donald Trump for the laboratory leak theory not being taken seriously initially—accusing him of pushing the theory out of “xenophobia.” According to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), there is reason to believe that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) improperly accepted gifts while attending the Met Gala in 2022. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has acknowledged that she made mistakes. Zeoli is preempted by Temple University basketball!

Appearing in Virginia Beach, President Joe Biden took credit for the reduction—explaining that it was the result of his Inflation Reduction Act. However, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board dismantled Biden's narrative, writing: “Drug makers know they're on the political menu and are responding to the pressure. Drug makers will probably spread the costs of cheaper insulin in other products they sell.” 4:15pm- On Thursday, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry spoke at the 2023 Our Ocean Conference in Panama where he explained that climate change is the “most significant challenge that humans have ever faced” and implored citizens of the world to make better, environmentally friendly, decisions. But how did Kerry get to the conference—private jet? 4:25pm- Recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that if the United States did not continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and funding, it's possible the “U.S. will have to send their sons and daughters.” 4:45pm- Radio host Mike Opelka joins The Rich Zeoli Show LIVE from the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) in Washington, D.C.

Roosevelt did in 1944: He expressed a preference for certain candidates but turned the choice of his running mate over to the delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.” You can read the full article at: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/27/opinion/biden-vice-president.html 5:00pm- The Drive at 5: Does a new artificial sweetener called erythritol really cause heart attacks and strokes?

In her two years hosting “The Argument,” Jane Coaston has changed her mind about many things — from court packing to police reform (though not on whether we should contact alien life). But this year, she has changed her political party; once a proud card-carrying member of the Libertarian Party, Jane is now a registered independent. And she isn't alone: Kyrsten Sinema, former Democrat of Arizona, just became an independent, and we heard from many listeners of “The Argument” with their own experiences of why they switched their political party affiliations. Now wading in new political waters, Jane really wants to know: What happens when your party leaves you behind?In the final episode of “The Argument,” Jane calls on former congressman Justin Amash of Michigan to help answer that question. While in office, Amash changed his party affiliation from Republican to independent, and then to Libertarian, which made him the first sitting Libertarian Party member in Congress. The two share strong opinions about what the Libertarian Party stands for today and discuss how political parties — whether big or small — should amass power.Mentioned in this episode:Elizabeth Nolan Brown's work at Reason.comJane's 2016 interview with then-candidate Gary Johnson(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)

Critics of libertarianism argue that it is an ideology created by and for privileged white men. But the modern libertarian movement was founded and kept alive thanks to the writings and advocacy of three unstoppable women: Isabel Paterson, a literary critic; Rose Wilder Lane, a journalist; and Ayn Rand, a philosophical immigrant.In 1943, Paterson published The God in the Machine, Lane The Discovery of Freedom, and Rand The Fountainhead. These three books changed the course of libertarianism in the United States.Timothy Sandefur's new book Freedom's Furies tells the story of how this trio created a movement based on the principles of individualism and individual rights. Debunking the stereotypes of libertarians, Sandefur shows how these women inspired future generations to fight for freedom.Please join us for an introduction to Freedom's Furies by Timothy Sandefur and interim director of Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org Paul Meany, followed by a discussion featuring Libertarian activist Carla Howell, Reason Magazine's Elizabeth Nolan Brown, and Kat Murti from the Cato Institute.

Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason and the main author of Reason's morning newsletter, the Reason Roundup – an essential part of my daily reading. She is also co-founder of the libertarian feminist group Feminists for Liberty, and a professional affiliate of the journalism program at the University of Cincinnati. Last time she joined my show, Elizabeth and I discussed her work on the War on Sex Work:This week we take up the news of Biden's unilateral action cancelling billions of dollars of student loan debt. Elizabeth calls it a fiasco, and she's hardly alone in this sentiment. Even President Obama's former economic adviser Jason Furman has called the plan “reckless.”If we have time, we will also take up the question of whether Walgreens should be prosecuted as an illicit drug dealer for fulfilling opioid prescriptions (hint: no).

Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason magazine, a co-founder of Feminists for Liberty, and a journalism lecturer at the University of Cincinnati. In this episode of Mutual Exchange Radio, Elizabeth discusses abortion, sex work, moral panics, conspiracies, feminism, libertarianism, and more.

Reason's Elizabeth Nolan Brown makes the case for legalizing sex work. Author Julie Bindel wants customers to be held criminally liable.

In 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled on the Roe v. Wade case and concluded that Americans have a constitutional right to an abortion up to viability of the fetus. That has been the law of the land... until now (or at least very soon). Roe v. Wade OverturnedA few weeks ago, a draft majority decision by the Court was leaked which showed that there was a majority of justices on the Supreme Court who were going to rule in favor of the state of Mississippi in their challenge to the Roe decision from nearly 50 years ago. Effectively, overturning the Roe decision would revert back the power to regulate abortions from the federal to the state level. Many states have been anticipating or preparing for the eventuality of this decision and have created 'trigger laws' which go into effect if and when Roe is reversed. Most of those states make abortion more restricted or outright illegal. However, some states have liberalized abortion making it legal right up until birth. Challenges for the StatesElizabeth Nolan Brown, Senior Editor at Reason magazine, lays out a few of the problems with this ruling coming back to the states. Primarily, although the states can regulate what happens in their borders, it is very difficult for them to restrict what people do in other states. For instance, can states really stop women from crossing the state line and getting an abortion? Can they prevent mail order morning after pills? Learn more about your ad choices.

On January 15th, 2021, two men received a knock on the door of their Tallahassee apartment from someone claiming to be delivering a Postmate parcel. The two hadn't ordered anything and raised suspicion that someone was trying to break in and rob their home so they said they didn't order anything and refused to open the door. Moments later, their door crashed open and a percussive grenade ignited as FBI swarmed in with guns drawn, yelling. This was the arrest of US military veteran, YPG volunteer medic and instructor of yoga and jujitsu Daniel Baker on charges of inciting violence at Florida's state capital. This may sound like a familiar story of government arrests across the country since the January 6th far right riot to stop the counting of votes that Trump supporters and avowed white nationalists engaged. The difference lies in the fact that Dan Baker wasn't calling for the storming of anything. The FBI alleges that he made posts online calling for people to resist an attempted coup that elements of the far right had been promoting since the failed acts of January 6th in DC, where armed putschists would take State capitals and public officials hostage. So, why did the FBI targetting Mr Baker? Why has he not been allowed private meetings with a lawyer since his detention? Why was he kept in solitary since his pre-trial time at the Federal Correction Institution at Tallahassee begun? On October 12th, 2021, Dan Baker was sentenced to 44 months in Federal Prison for “interstate communication of threats” for his facebook posts and his militant anti-fascism, including his time fighting Daesh or ISIS in Rojava. His defense is appealing the ruling, otherwise he's expected to be released at the soonest in March of 2024. For the hour, we're sharing our March 7th, 2021 conversation with Jack and Eric. Both are anti-racist activists, students of Daniel's yoga and jujitsu instruction and Eric was the roommate that was present at the time of the home invasion by the FBI.

The Senate is taking aim at something called Section 230.Elizabeth Nolan Brown, a senior editor at Reason Magazine, says:“Section 230 is more important than the first amendment for online speech”That's because Section 230 protects online platforms from getting in trouble for publishing your opinion. It's basically the law that made the internet what it is today. Without it platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Hacker News and others wouldn't be able to operate as they do. So of course, both the left and right want to destroy it.One bipartisan attempt to reform the law is called the "See Something Say Something Online” Act, which is a really scary piece of legislation that would put the DOJ in charge of filtering internet content, and allow everyone to file a “suspicious activity report” against any website. This would not only be weaponized against those with views others don't like, but it would also create a mountain of bureaucracy on the internet, and essentially eliminate free speech. Furthermore, it would also be a completely opaque reporting system not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.Will decentralized social media be the solution to such attempts to shut down freedom of speech on the internet? Jack Dorsey, Charles Hoskinson, and Dan Larimer think it might. Watch this video on Odysee and LBRY!  https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/see-something-say-something-online:f?r=DzXweqFwrKKy9W5nrSXLok6w9Secrgc8If you would like to send me a message and support my channel, visit https://cointr.ee/naomibrockwellSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/naomibrockwell)

Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason magazine and co-founder of Feminists for Liberty. She regularly covers the sex worker industry and trafficking misinformation. Throughout our conversation we covered the convoluted history of anti-trafficking in America, the differences between decriminalizing and legalizing sex work, common myths on the subject, and ways to frame conversations around trafficking to be more accurate and helpful. Follow Elizabeth on Twitter: twitter.com/ENBrown Follow her work at Reason: https://reason.com/people/elizabeth-nolan-brown/ Read my piece on sex trafficking misinformation for primary sources on their origins: https://medium.com/discourse/the-moral-panic-and-myths-of-human-trafficking-31f1864470f7

Every year, tales of the great and fabled Super Bowl sex trafficking upswing make their rounds online. These rumors instill fear in the upstanding public, and infuse law enforcement and anti-trafficking organization with cash for intervention measures. But this myth has been long-debunked, so why does it remain in such heavy rotation?

Here's a conundrum: Who do you side with when the political class is at war with each other? Thomas L. Knapp breaks down our current situation and advises that none of the factions vying for power are your allies. The massive social media purge of anyone to the right of Mitt Romney has caused a lot of folks to rethink their digital footprint. Elizabeth Nolan Brown says millions of users are flooding encrypted apps as their preferred means of staying in touch. The posturing and virtue signaling that followed last week's unrest at the nation's Capitol was fairly predictable. After all, no one wants to be seen as a bad guy. As a result, it's rare to find some genuine dissent on the popular narrative that claims that Trump incited violence. Judge Andrew Napolitano makes the case that Trump's speech was protected under the First Amendment. The U.S. House of Representatives voted yesterday to impeach Trump for a second time. I'm getting the impression that someone there really doesn't like him. Pat Buchanan explains how members of the political class are exploiting last week's violence to finish off the man who has humiliated them for the past 4 years. A few more thoughts on the wisdom of avoiding armed protests in public: Someone is trying to provoke freedom-loving Americans to figuratively "fire on Fort Sumter." We must be wise enough not to take the bait. Becky Akers has some relevant thoughts on what's at stake and when violence is justified in defense of one's life, liberty and property. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Katie and Jesse discuss the online outrage surrounding the French film 'Cuties,' which has slightly more underage twerking than most 2020 cinematic releases.

***Hi Left, Right & Center listeners: this week’s episode was recorded Friday morning before news broke that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at 87 of pancreatic cancer. President Trump is fighting with his CDC director. Dr. Robert Redfield says we won’t likely have wide enough distribution of a potential coronavirus vaccine to return to normal life until the second or third quarter of next year. Anthony Fauci agrees with that rough timeline. But that’s not the full story: it will take months to get all those doses in people’s bodies and fighting the coronavirus. Josh Barro talks with Michael Brendan Dougherty and Jamelle Bouie about how Democrats can express concerns about Trump’s role in the vaccine process without scaring people away from an effective vaccine when it does come. Then, Matt Yglesias joins the panel to talk about his argument that the United States should have population one billion: how we could achieve it, and why America needs to be bigger to be better. Elizabeth Nolan Brown joins the conversation too.

Josh Barro speaks with Michael Brendan Dougherty, Jamelle Bouie, Matt Yglesias and Elizabeth Nolan Brown about how the US could be more populous and what would happen if it were.

As hard as I try to remain unphased by the upcoming general election, it's clear that this one has potential for making big waves. In the past 24 hours, I've come across two different articles that warn of an unsettling possibility: a coup to remove Trump from the presidency, if he wins reelection. What once seemed like pure political fantasy on the part of Washington D.C. insiders is looking a lot more plausible given the events of the past few months. The big question for most of us isn't who to support in the political reassurance ritual. It's how can we prepare for a complete and comprehensive attempt to seize total political power over our lives without our consent? There are no easy answers but I suspect the best preparation will start with ensuring our character and principles are intact and unshakeable. Everything else seems pretty up in the air. When more than 600,000 people came together for the Sturgis motorcycle rally, the doomers warned us it would be the worst thing ever. Now they're claiming that the rally spawned a quarter million new cases. Elizabeth Nolan Brown and Tom Woods both have done a marvelous job of showing how this shameless fear mongering for the lie that it is. Is it possible that the pandemic has mostly run its course and we're just going through the motions to prevent its spread? Did you see where nearly 11,000 students at a number of universities tested positive for Covid? Did you hear how NONE of them required hospitalization? Tucker Carlson had a conversation with Adam Corrolla about the fear-pimping that rules our land.

Reason senior editor Elizabeth Nolan Brown has done extensive research and coverage on the topic of sex work and joins us in this episode to talk about it from a liberty-minded perspective.   She also takes the time to define sex work vs. sex trafficking and explains how authoritarians use the latter term to punish and harm people who engage in sex work without coercion. She also details how inaccurate studies have led to paranoia about child sex trafficking.   There’s conversation about how radical feminism colluded with social conservatives to blur the definitions between consensual prostitution and sex trafficking, how criminalization of sex work protects rapists & abusers, whether there’s such a thing as “safe” sex work, as well as the rise of webcamming and web galleries as a way for sex workers to avoid exploitation.   There’s talk about the recent Wayfair “scandal,” as well as the “happy ending” massage parlor phenomenon and how it has become the #1 way for law enforcement to make themselves look like they are effectively fighting trafficking.   You can’t miss this incredibly compelling episode of Proof Of Love!About the Guest:Elizabeth Nolan Brown is a senior editor at Reason, where she writes regularly on the intersections of sex, speech, tech, crime, politics, panic, and civil liberties, and president ofthe libertarian feminist group Feminists for Liberty.  Her writing has also appeared in publications such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Daily Beast, Buzzfeed, Playboy, Fox News, Politico, and Libertarianism.org.

You're probably familiar with sex trafficking which has been publicized in the mainstream media as a widespread horror that traffics thousands of women and young girls into sex slavery. It's an issue that the right and left have “joined forces” to combat and have raised millions of dollars to combat. Well. We are skeptical. And upon further examination of data and police reports, it appears sex trafficking is nowhere near as common in the United States as you may think. That's why we are joined by Elizabeth Nolan Brown of Reason Magazine to debunk the common themes and misconceptions of sex trafficking. While we don't agree with Elizabeth on everything, she is an expert on sex policy. Elizabeth's extensive research exposes the “myths” surrounding one of the biggest public awareness campaigns in recent history and how the issue has been severely misunderstood by the right and the left. She also recommends what people interested in supporting charities that oppose sex trafficking should look for if they're interested in making sure their funds go to the right place.

The policy and professional choices of U.S. Senator and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris seem to be rooted in … no particular ideology.

Elizabeth Nolan Brown, libertarian feminist journalist for Reason, talks to Kirk about the latest on the Robert Kraft story and how there are no trafficking charges in his soliciting prostitution case.

A few weeks ago, Elizabeth Nolan Brown explained how the War on Sex Workers is making the problems usually associated with prostitution worse. I noted that it seems like a rule that whenever government declares war on something, bad things happen.The War on Poverty has been no exception. In the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson sought prevent and even cure poverty, much like Nixon unsuccessfully sought to cure cancer. Some 60 years later, the poor are still with us and bad policies alleviate poverty effectively trap them there.The Cato Institute's Michael Tanner has written the definitive book on a libertarian anti-poverty policy. The Inclusive Economy: How to Bring Wealth to America's Poor is both readable yet scholarly. It plots the history of welfare from the Middle Ages to the present, and shows how the current system arose from two conflicting outlooks about why poverty exists. Both liberals and conservatives have missed the mark in their diagnosis and, more importantly, their cure for poverty.Free markets and exponential growth have lifted millions of Americans out of poverty, but government continues to create artificial barriers that keep people stuck on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. We can start by pointing out the harmful effects of minimum wages, occupational licensing and the like, but it goes much beyond this.A Short Lesson in Marginal Tax RatesRule #1 for thinking clearly about welfare is that incentives matter. Rule #2 is that we have to think at the margin. In other words, we have to ask what the incentives are for a person at the poverty line to earn or save an additional dollar? Since many benefits are conditional on low income or a scarcity of savings, the poor are faced with the devil's dilemma of either bettering themselves and losing their free benefits, or remaining economically secure wards of the state.The marginal tax rate for people just above the poverty rate is 34%, meaning 1/3 of every additional dollar earned goes to the government. That puts them in a higher bracket than those earning more than $250,000 a year.Stopping the Blame GameTanner notes that while conservatives are likely to blame the poor for a lack of personal responsibility — citing a “culture of poverty” as the reason for their poverty — liberals tend to focus too much on structural issues. While both cultural and structural causes are real, they are also hard to disentangle. Debating which factor predominates is usually done to assign blame to some group to score political points. Both sides share a paternalistic attitude that uses poverty as an excuse to limit freedom of choice, and neither side acknowledges what actually works to alleviate poverty.Like a good doctor, Tanner's approach is to “first do no harm.” From poverty traps, to dismal public schools, to incarceration for victimless crimes, the government already does a great deal to guarantee the existence of an entrenched lower class.Tanner's book points to five specific areas where we can help the poor by enhancing freedom and helping people become captains of their own fate. Hear what these areas are, on the show of ideas, not attitude.

Separating Facts from Hysteria on Sex Trafficking

It seems like an ironclad law that whenever government declares war on an illicit activity, the problem gets worse. Elizabeth Nolan Brown is an award-winning journalist and Reason editor who writes about how hysteria around human trafficking has created a “War on Sex Workers” to complement the failed Wars on Drugs, Poverty, and Terror. The co-founder of Feminists for Liberty, she belongs to the wave of feminism that believes women are capable of freely choosing to engage in the world's oldest occupation, and should be permitted to do so without harassment.Before clutching your pearls, put on your Bastiat-hat for a moment and consider the unseen effects of criminalizing prostitution. Where it is illegal, women who would otherwise voluntarily become sex workers face the possibility of being abused by their clients with no recourse to law enforcement. Meanwhile, those who are being trafficked will continue to meet an inevitable black market demand.Bastiat says, “Train yourself to look not just at the seen, but the unseen.”If Bastiat isn't your cup of tea, perhaps you'll listen to moral theologians from Augustine to Aquinas who have supported legalized prostitution. Many countries operate regulated brothels to protect workers, but in our Puritan-founded country, we often fail to distinguish between the clear crime of sex trafficking and the victimless crime of voluntary prostitution. Historically, U.S. law enforcement has conflated the two in order scare the public into supporting a ban on prostitution.Perspective | Why laws to fight sex trafficking often backfireNolan Brown believes the latest hysteria spawned from Patriots' owner Robert Kraft — if it results in tougher crackdowns on prostitutes — will harm innocent women and create an unnecessary bogeyman. She also has a message for an easily-excited media audience: Stop Letting People Lie to You About Hate Crime and Human Trafficking Spikes. The increase in reported sex trafficking cases (like hate crimes), comes from flawed data and reporting. There is no epidemic, and the hysteria is bringing more and more non-trafficked sex workers into the legal system's dragnet.Less hysterically, The Federalist's David Marcus argues that “keeping government out of the bedroom” shouldn't apply to commercial transactions. Marcus says that legalization would remove the social stigma, which in turn would make the industry more profitable, widespread, and entrenched.But does legalized prostitution increase human traffickings? Here, a question of principle turns into an empirical puzzle over which there is some disagreement. Certainly, stark differences between jurisdictions create islands of legalization and incentives for traffickers to transport women across borders like commodities, but statistics on sex trafficking are notoriously unreliable. Advocacy groups often inflate figures to attract more money from the government, and law enforcement is rewarded for each “perp” they bring to justice. Brown has documented cases in which aggressive policing and media sensationalism have portrayed what turn out to be small, voluntary prostitution rings as major organized human-trafficking schemes.My take: Everyone wants to pose as the Knight in Shining Armor who rescues women from being trafficked, including President Trump — who is using the issue as a talking point for his Wall. There are no perfect solutions in an unjust world, but a rational society might start by acknowledging that not all sex workers are victims. Even if you oppose prostitution, government crackdowns are no substitute for cultural change. David Marcus may have his heart in the right place, but he fails to consider how the market might regulate liaisons between consenting adults, while keeping questions of morals in the cultural arena and only questions of coercion in the hands of law enforcement.Tune in to my conversation with Liz and let me know what you think.

The police raids on massage parlors in Florida initially promised a blockbuster story of sex trafficking. So far, the story hasn't panned out. Elizabeth Nolan Brown, an associate editor at Reason magazine, explains. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to our first ep of 2019! We're starting off by taking some time to educate ourselves on something that none of the On the Dresser hosts have lived experience with and that is asexuality. Enter Taryn. She's a blogger and educator. Her site www.AceInTheHole.com is a place where she reviews sex toys and chronicles her journey as an asexual person. She chats with Vanessa about representation and discovery and gives us helps us better understand our friends on the Asexual and Aromantic spectrum. Afterward, Danny Cruz and Lauren Kiley chat about how to best support a loved one who may trust you enough to "come out" to you. We chat in the context of asexuality, but it really applies across the TLBGQIA spectrum. Plus! Vanessa and Danny come to you from the American Bar Association (ABA) Mid Year meeting in Las Vegas! Our own Vanessa Carlisle co-wrote a guide with friend of the show Kori Cordero for writing legislation that bans gay conversion therapy for minors. Currently, only 15 states in the US ban the practice. The ABA's Commission on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) adopted a resolution urging all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments to enact laws that prohibit state-licensed professionals from using conversion therapy on minors. You can find the resolution, the guide and more information at: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/diversity/sexual_orientation/ While we enjoyed the scenery in Vegas, it was hard not to feel like we were being watched. That's because that we woke up to the news from journalist and author Melissa Gira Grant that Marriott Hotels were training their staff to “identify trafficking victims” by behavior like turning down housekeeping or traveling with too little luggage! All in the name of human trafficking (of course) THREAD: https://twitter.com/melissagira/status/1089170470895783938 Later that week, Elizabeth Nolan Brown who is an associate editor at Reason Magazine wrote a piece detailing Marriott's increased surveilling of women in their hotels and how it ties into the government's expansion of "see something, say something" targeting women and sex workers. Are You a Woman Traveling Alone? Marriott Might Be Watching You. https://reason.com/archives/2019/02/05/hotel-surveillance-state-sex-trafficking If that didn't feel like enough eyes on us, we heard from frequent business traveller Clementine Crawford who wrote an essay about her experience being a single woman at a New York City Restaurant. At one of her regular dining spots when she travels in from London, she was surprised to find that she was no longer allowed to sit at the bar! "Company policy." "The Night I Was Mistaken for a Call Girl" https://drugstoreculture.com/the-night-i-was-mistaken-for-a-call-girl/ Finally (and probably most grossly), we'll chat about a bill that was proposed in the Utah state legislature. HB 153 would amend provisions regarding the completion and amendment of a birth certificate in order to prohibit transgender citizens from being able to change the gender on their birth certificates. Luckily this bill was held and is effectively dead, but we'll talk about how these all these things fit the larger theme of policing sex, gender and bodies. All of it, On the Dresser!
