Mr. Johnson's Libertyhood Episode 02: "It Was Easy!"

Welcome back to Mr. Johnson’s Libertyhood, our semi-regular feature wherein we’ll look at the ongoing actions of Libertarian Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld. Longtime listeners will recognize the format, as it follows the popular Rand Pauluses and Minuses formula, however this time we’ll be grading Gary with JohnsONs for statements that we see as positive for liberty, and JohnsOFFs for those that raise our eyebrows or fists.

Some of the topics we cover in today’s episode include the recent Johnson/Weld campaign ad, the tragic shootings of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castille, and the alleged retribution killings of police officers in Dallas . We’ll also look at Gary’s best breakdown of the drug legalization argument, the Hillary Clinton email non-indictiment and Bill Weld’s constant attempts to undermine Gary at every turn.

So, won’t you be our neighbor and join us once again in Mr. Johnson’s Libertyhood?
