John FundJohn Fund (National Review and Fox News) returns to Whiskey Politics to update us on the issues discussed during our last podcast visit regarding the bipartisan Election Integrity Commission and how some 2.8 million people are registered in two or more states, and 1.8 million registered voters are dead.

John refers to “political stunts” in which state workers have declared they will deny providing data to the commission, and how powerful Democratic strongholds like Chicago and Detroit use voter fraud to elect corrupt office holders which hurt the Democratic voters who need change. We also discuss why Democrats have so often opposed efforts to crack down on voter fraud at the state level and why the Obama administration for eight years never cracked down on potential ineligible voters.

Punditry is neither new nor is the star-power of those whose profession it is to tell you what to think. Many readers of this post remember William F. Buckley’s superb Firing Line, CNN’s middling Crossfire and McLaughlin’s curmudgeonly growls. But whereas these vanguards of the medium were relegated to bargain basement time slots, today’s pundit […]

John StosselJohn Stossel joins the Whiskey Politics Podcast just as we were setting up at Freedom Fest (apologies for the few audio glitches). John spoke on regulations, entitlements, the ongoing drug war, the impact of legalization, why he despises Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and how to ensure future generations will be taught about the benefits of free markets. John can now be found on Reason TV and is focusing on teaching students basic economic principals at Stossel In The Classroom where students can get free DVDs.

For decades you have seen John appear on ABC News and Fox Business Channel preaching libertarian political philosophy and views on economics focusing on free markets. John has received 19 Emmy Awards and five National Press Club awards for excellence in consumer reporting. Stossel has written three books recounting how his experiences in journalism shaped his socioeconomic views, Give Me a Break in 2004, Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity in 2007, and No They Can’t! Why Government Fails but Individuals Succeed.

Nick GillespieWhen it comes to tackling regulations (Title 9, Obamacare, small business, etc.) Trump has many Libertarians applauding. So why does Reason’s Nick Gillespie suggest Trump may be bad for the Libertarian cause? Nick is currently the Contributing Editor of Reason.com and the Editor-in-Chief at Reason.tv, the home of Free Minds and Free Markets. We discuss entitlements, Libertarianism as a governing body, limited government in the age of Trump and much more. You can (and should) find Nick on Twitter and Facebook. Special thanks to virtuoso pianist Hyperion Knight for his beautiful background music taped at the Freedom Fest Convention at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.

Libertarian talk show host and best selling author Larry Elder, “The Sage Of South Central,” joins us at Whiskey Politics and tears it up! Larry is heard on over 300 radio stations on the Salem Media Network and is regularly featured on all major television news networks. Larry shares his thoughts on states rights, health care, Trump’s first six months, the media’s double standards and bias, his touching story from his book Dear Father, Dear Son about reconciliation with his Father. Of course, it’s Larry Elder, so we finished up with his outrage once again targeting O.J. Simpson, the response from the black community and what, if anything, has improved with race relations in the past 20 years.

Dinesh, Dave, and Whiskey Politics Producer extraordinaire Melissa Praemonitus

Filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza sits down for two interviews with Dave Sussman at the Whiskey Politics/Ricochet Media Booth at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas. Dinesh discusses how while the Left thinks of itself as the ‘party of diversity’ it is quite the opposite, even fascist. He argues that the Left wishes to keep voters in abject poverty to ensure they maintain their voting blocks. Born in India, D’Souza came to the U.S. as an exchange student at the age of 18 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College. Called one of the “top young public-policy makers in the country,” following graduation from Dartmouth University, he went on to work in the Reagan White House as a policy analyst. D’Souza quickly became known as a major force in public policy through his books, speeches, and films. Pre-Order the sure to be best-selling THE BIG LIE now and get a signed copy at Dinesh D’Souza.com. Book interview coming soon.

Freedom Fest Panelist Hyperion Knight joins us at Whiskey Politics to discuss leftism in music and entertainment. Hyperion is a virtuoso pianist with a romantic touch whose recordings range from Beethoven and Chopin to Ragtime and Queen. In addition to regular appearances with orchestras across the United States, he has been a headline performer at Manhattan’s Rainbow Room and Entertainer of the Year for Silversea Cruises.

He is a Gershwin enthusiast, whose performance of “Rhapsody In Blue,” along with works by Cole Porter and Andrew Lloyd Webber, was recently featured in the Public Television special Hyperion Plays Piano. Hyperion was born in Berkeley, California, graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory at age 19, and by the age of 22 had received both a Master’s degree and a Doctoral degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music. He then studied at the Juilliard School in New York, where he now resides. The American Record Guide said of his performance, “Not since Heifetz has anyone played Gershwin solos with this much panache…the songs glitter like jewels against black satin.” In this episode of Whiskey Politics, Hyperion discusses his upcoming speaking engagement subject at Freedom Fest 2017 on Free Markets and the Arts.
