Join us for the Liberty Pub Happy Hour on YouTube or Facebook LIVE this Wednesday night, May 20th at 7pm ET. RSVP on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/927200604391092/ Since we’re no longer allowed to go out and listen to live music, we’re bringing the live music to you! Tommy Z, one of our favorite blues guitarists is going to be playing live for us. His last album, Blizzard of Blues, made the Top 10 Billboard Blues Album Charts. We’ll also hear from our friend Magnús Örn from Iceland, where they’ve done a much better job dealing with this pandemic than we have. And as always, we want to hear from you with questions and comments. #happyhour #live #liberty Follow Free the People on Twitter: https://twitter.com/freethepeople Follow Free the People on Instagram: https://instagram.com/freethepeople Follow Free the People on Facebook: https://facebook.com/freethepeople Visit Free the People's Website: https://freethepeople.org Support Free the People on Patreon: https://patreon.com/freethepeoplefoundation Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human.

There’s a huge amount of political pressure to release a COVID-19 vaccine. This will mean limited testing and it’s reasonable to expect that there will be pressure to make vaccination mandatory. While anyone who wants the vaccine should be able to take it, it’s wrong to force an untested product on the unwilling. The question is not whether vaccines are good, but whether everything good should be mandatory. It’s hard to think of a more fundamental freedom than the right to do what you want with your own body. After all, there is a precedent for medical experts getting things wrong. Free the People creative director Sam Martin breaks it all down in the latest episode of Freedom Over Fear. #covid #vaccine #vaccination Follow Free the People on Twitter: https://twitter.com/freethepeople Follow Free the People on Instagram: https://instagram.com/freethepeople Follow Free the People on Facebook: https://facebook.com/freethepeople Visit Free the People's website: https://freethepeople.org Join Free the People's community: https://community.freethepeople.org Support Free the People on Patreon: https://patreon.com/freethepeoplefoundation Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human.

In the second of a series of interviews conducted at the Mont Pelerin Society in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, Matt Kibbe is joined by Daniel D’Amico, director for the Stephenson Institute of Classical Liberalism to discuss the much maligned and abused L-word. Liberalism in its classical sense conveys a respect for individualism, personal freedom, and limited government. Despite its co-option by progressive leftists, it remains a better word, both etymologically and aesthetically, to describe the kind of world those at the Mont Pelerin Society are fighting for. While many people are enamored with more collectivist ideas like socialism these days, liberalism remains the standard by which countries are judged. If you go looking for justice, prosperity, freedom, and happiness, you will find it in those societies that are the most liberal in their construction. Subscribe to Kibbe on Liberty everywhere you get podcasts. #mattkibbe #kibbeonliberty #danieldamico #freethepeople The revolution is here. A movement of people free to live, work, and choose. We won’t tell you what to think, we just demand that you think for yourself.

As the president of Free the People, Kibbe has decades of experience in the libertarian political sphere, but in these troubled times he believes that open dialogue is needed to bring people together. This means being willing to talk, and especially listen, to those with whom we might not always agree, trying to understand perspectives that might otherwise be foreign to us. Kibbe on Liberty's growing roster of guests includes politicians, economists, comedians, writers, radio personalities, activists, journalists, and even a magician or two—with topics of conversation ranging from current affairs to craft beer and the Grateful Dead. So grab a cold one, and settle in for the next hour of Kibbe on Liberty, mostly honest conversations with mostly interesting people. #classicalliberalism #theLword #individualism #limitedgovernment #socialism #liberal #liberty #podcast #blazetv #theblaze ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8laZwUTAIqg
