Season 7, Episode 5 - Economist Thomas Sowell on the appeal of Socialism, Fire Aid Concert, Congressman Nick Freitas, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, Free Speech, Hate Crimes, and much more!

In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from Economist Thomas Sowell on the appeal of Socialism to people who decide to advocate for it. In our Stupidest Thing I’ve Heard All Week segment, we have four contenders this week. You decide the winner:We’ll tell you about an incident that happened last weekend in which a defenseless man lying on the ground was being punched & kicked by a group of 6-8 people, and ask the question “When is a hate crime not a hate crime”? We'll play a clip of an investigative journalist from Los Angeles who tried to find out what happened to the $100 million in funds that were raised by the Fire Aid Concert held on January 30th of this year to assist people who lost their homes & possessions to the LA wildfires late last year. We’ll play a clip from a UK court case about the punishment a man got for posting a comment on social media and tell you about a woman from Brazil who is facing a 25-year prison sentence for correctly pointing out that a female transgender politician in that country is a man. We’ll play a clip by Congressman Nick Freitas, reminding us of what happened with the famous Universe 25 experiment and how it relates to today’s problems associated with high-density housing projects. We’ll tell you where a school district illegally forgave the student loans of non-white teachers but not the student loans of white teachers. In a lead-in to our taxpayer relief shot segment, we’ll play a clip of Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd answering an interviewer’s question regarding why his deputies shot a wanted suspect 68 times. Our taxpayer relief shot segment this week comes to us from Georgia, where a mother & her two children are hiding in an attic from an intruder, but she has a gun that she learned how to shoot just a week earlier.
