He has a superhero name. It's as stupid as every other superhero name. It's not something you can comfortably call another person in casual conversation. Just try to have a normal-sounding talk with some of the guys in the Liberty Force. “So, hello, uh, Pile-Driver Man. And, how are you doing, Dynamic Woman?” You can't. You honestly can't. You need to have a superhero name, and so he has one, bestowed upon him by others when he lagged too long in coming up with one for himself. It still seems vainglorious to him. | Copyright 2019 by Adam-Troy Castro. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

From there, she worked as the Campaign Manager for Nick Coons, Congressional Candidate for CD9 in his bid to unseat Democratic incumbent, Harry Mitchell, and co-hosting Liberty on the Rocks’ Phoenix Chapter from 2010 – 2012. , she reached out to the Libertarian Party of New York and immediately set to work on networking with fellow Libertarians in her country to establish, with the aid of the LPNY and Erie County Libertarian Party founder, Ed Garrett, the Niagara County Libertarian Party in 2015, participating in the Communications and Bylaws Committees in the run up to their 2016 State Convention, and getting tapped to be a delegate for NY at the 2016 National Convention. 2017 was a somewhat quiet year, as she changed careers to work as an Operations Director for a custom metal and plastic fabrication plant in Phoenix and focused her energy on that, but she continued to participate – albeit minimally – as a member of the LP Bylaws Committee leading up to their 2018 National Convention. Schedule and finances precluded her participation in the National Convention, but hearing how wonderful the experience was for so many of her beloved friends and colleagues, Kim immediately returned to her role as Arizona State Coordinator for the LPRC and was elected Vice Chair of the same caucus that June.

You can hear it at SupportBlastOff.com on our Patreon! About The Guest: J. Nicholas Veser began his career at an early age on stage and in front of the camera. During his attendance at West Virginia University on a full theatre scholarship, he became interested in hospitality and worked in the industry while performing on Equity stages throughout the Northeast. His creative and leadership strengths eventually landed him Director of Business Travel Sales for The Ritz Carlton, Battery Park in Manhattan. Soon after, he was drawn to the warm weather and endless opportunity of television in South Florida. He began his career with an International Media Company as a Creative Director and ultimately became the Senior Producer for several shows produced by the company. In 2008, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Production where he thrived in the free and creative environment that he created for the many Scriptwriters, Production Coordinators, Editors, Traffic Coordinators, and Directors of Photography. Under his leadership, the team achieved tremendous success including 32 Telly Awards won over a 5-year span. In 2014, Nicholas left his career in Production after 11 years to own and operate a successful tech company. Although any degree of success is not without its fair share of challenges in 2015 he was faced with his most difficult hurdle yet when an unethical Florida Attorney General crippled his small family owned tech company. This only served to strengthen his resolve and he along with his wife Dawn have now become champions of the Liberty Movement in this country. Big business, political donations, and corruption led to the fight of their lives, and they have made a conscious decision to stand up in the face of injustice until the truth is revealed. Through all of his success and adversity, he still considers his greatest achievement to be his 6-year-old son Ryan.

Show Summary: Zama Rripa talks to Johnny and Raylene about "American Soul", his passion project inspiring others to live free and reject the shackles of the State, hoping to change the culture and plant the seeds of self-ownership. He sees the problems that exist and wants to share with others what the solutions are. His vibe is chill, his dialogue is smooth and thoughtful, and you'll love listening to Zama's insights and ideas. Get familiar with this free-spirit activist in art today! About The Guest: Zama Rripa is a liberty-peace-love-minded-street-busking-singer-songwriter-troubadour in Miami, Florida, USA, by way of Los Angeles, California, USA, with a new album out, “American Soul.” Rripa’s toured the world over; performed solo and with dozens of bands of all styles; played football for Florida State University; acted on stage; in television, and in a handful of Hollywood films; has a B.A. in Literature; an M.P.S. in Economic Development; went to law school too; and holds a P.U. against all things anti-liberty; has contributed to libertarian sites such as LewRockwell.com, EconomicPolicyJournal.com, TargetLiberty.com, and Ron Paul’s Voices of Liberty; and he’s been a ghost writer, ghost-rider, and ghost-buster when he's had to be. He’s also been named the best bartender in the Western World by everyone who’s had the pleasure of indulging in his rousingly soul-stirring, mixological delights. About The Record: “American Soul” the song, was inspired by a Jeff Deist Facebook post awhile back. Deist ripped Bono of U2 for some ridiculous things he said about Americans and politics in a Rolling Stone interview. There’s back-story for the song, with references, here: https://iamzamarripa.com/music/. ß- This page on my site has backstories for all of the songs. “American Soul” the song is the 6th song on the album. It references U2’s song “American Soul” and all of their hits, ridicules Bono for his hypocrisy and disingenuousness, and identifies liberty as the true “American Soul.” It’s the spirit of “Sweet Home Alabama” (slamming Neil Young) but more in the style of Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.” Here’s the lyric video: https://youtu.be/UAlVbEJIm68 I decided to call the album “American Soul” because the album is about liberty. In other words, the album is about American Soul.

Get into the spirit of self-ownership with Tom Arnold where he shares his love for the young people in this movement, the importance of his work, and his poetic soul with a delightful sense of humor and class.

I'm a philosopher, poet, political operative, agrarian, bibliophile, and professional ditch digger, preferring the world of ideas to the following after men. Born into a family of farmers and construction workers, I diverged and immersed myself in books and learning. But ultimately I returned home and took up the working in the family construction company. My first political campaign was in 1964 at age 7, I pedaled my bike over my Nashville neighborhood handing out 500 pencils, and 500 buttons for Barry Goldwater. From that point on I was hooked. At present, I live on a small farm in Flynn's Lick, Tennessee, in a 500 sq. ft. house I share with a demented Sheltie dog. I am a past chair of the LPTN. And I'm known in all Libertarian circles as Liberty Claus. Also, Tom is probably one of the few Boomers that doesn't type in all caps. And actually listens to what young people have to say. My goal is liberty in my lifetime. At 61, I plan on living to 102.

Show Summary: Eric Peters Is Coming for Muh Roads! Johnny and Raylene have a great time talking with Auto-enthusiast, Eric Peters. His knowledge of the industry and government evils pair perfectly with his no-nonsense candor and sense of humor. When he talks about the cronyist protectionist policies, unnecessary regulations, and privacy concerns we are affected by, it's difficult to not be fired up! This guy is a road warrior for liberty, and when you listen to this show, you'll know why. About the Guest: Eric started out writing about cars for mainstream media outlets such as The Washington Times, Detroit News and Free Press, Investors Business Daily, The American Spectator, National Review, The Chicago Tribune and Wall Street Journal. At some point, it occurred to him that cars – and of course, motorcycles – represent freedom, but that the freedom to drive (and freedom to drive what you wanted to drive) was being systematically undermined by authoritarian control freaks dressed in red and blue. His former conservatism evolved into Libertarianism, this oddball idea that live – and let live – ought to be the basis for human interactions. His books include Road Hogs (2011) and Automotive Atrocities (2004). His latest book, Don’t Get Taken for a Ride, was published in 2017. You can get a copy of it here, for your favorite price. Eric lives in the boonies of rural Southwest Virginia with various animals and won’t get near an airport until the TSA’s Submission Training goes away.
