Lots of laughs as I joined Jacob Hornberger and Richard Ebeling to talk about the Justice Department trying to squelch my articles at USA TODAY Opinion in the The Future of Freedom Foundation podcast. We also whupped up on the non-recession recession and a heap of other BS out of Washington. In his lead-in, Jacob refers to “a member of the Justice Department.” Actually, it was the chief spokesman for the Justice Dept. and later press chief for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign.
Here is a link to the story I wrote for Libertarian Institute on the behind-the-scenes string-pulling. Here’s a Washington Times article on the censorship attempt.
.@hornberger_g asks: "Is that a Cuban cigar you have?" I scoffed: "Heck no! @FutureofFreedom doesn't pay me enough to afford Cubans." (I prefer Dominicans) https://t.co/n80sSV8MpQ

Good interview. That JFK joke at the end illustrates your self-professed macabre taste in humor. I did laugh, though. 😉
Thanks for listening, JdL. I’m hoping I have not laid in a “lifetime supply” of cheap cigars here.
