First up is Rep. Andy Harris, MD, from Maryland's 1st Congressional District. He's talking about the state's abominable plans to once again jack up tolls for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, this time nearly 300%. Is this part-and-parcel of the War on Rural America? You decide!

Then Holly Alfano, VP for Government Affairs for the National Association of Truck Stop Owners (yes, they have their own lobby!), comes on to talk about congressional efforts to put state highway rest areas in direct competition with their members... and the hundreds of thousands of small businesses that rely on interstate travelers!

Then we move entirely away from politics, and have a fascinating exploration of the history of Chinese food in the United States. Author Andrew Coe comes on to talk about his Oxford University Press book, "Chop Suey". We talk about the origins of two chinese-american dishes, the state of chinese food and more exotic cuisines in the US, and where Mr. Coe eats when he's feeling adventurous.

If you love food, you have to tune in to this Liberty Line!

Liberty Line 5/11/11 Richard Marcinko

We have a truly rare interview today as Andrew sits down with Cdr. Richard Marcinko, USN (Ret.), the man who conceived, founded, and was first commander of Seal Team VI, the unit that raided Osama Bin Laden's Compound in Pakistan and took him down!

We talk about the origins of Seal Team VI, Special Warfare (SpecWar) today, and Marcinko's lengthy career both within and without the military. Marcinko is an accomplished author, having written the seminal (and for Andrew, life-changing ) book, "Rogue Warrior", his autobiography.

If you've ever been interested in special operations, or if last week's stunning news made you curious as to the unit that carried out the operation, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS LIBERTY LINE!

Liberty Line 5/9/11 Live from the MDGOP Spring Convention

It was a busy Mother's Day weekend, since it started with the Maryland Republican Party's Spring Convention. Andrew brought his digital recorder, and caught some of the action for you. Five, count 'em, FIVE interviews from the Ocean City event.

First, Andrew recaps the festivities, discusses coming in 3rd in the Presidential Straw Poll, one melancholy experience, and one outright negative interaction with a quasi-colleague from a big, wealthy county in Central Maryland.

Then we're joined by one of the Tea Party movement's most exciting leaders, Ana Puig. Ana was one of the founders of Kitchen Table Patriots, and her story is one of the most compelling of any movement conservative's. We talk about her background, what her childhood in South America has taught her about proposed changes here in the states, and we chat about last night's Presidential debate!

You won't want to miss today's podcast!

Liberty Line 4/2/11 David Williams and Jim Burling

It's Monday, and we're back from Resource Bank! Andrew recaps his journey from Dallas, which was saved from total disaster by kind souls at Gate C30 at DFW - and then we launch into our Resource Bank interviews.

Liberty Line 042711 Andrew Breitbart and Paul Avelar

Whether it's the philosophical struggle in which the nation is currently locked or the out-and-out war on small business, there are people hard at work fighting for all sorts of rights, big and small. Today on the Liberty Line we have two of them...

First up is Paul Avelar, Staff Attorney with the Institute for Justice's Arizona Chapter. IJ fights hard for property rights, free speech, and entrepreneurial liberty! He's going to talk about some of his work, including the lawsuit they filed yesterday in federal court, challenging the onerous and discriminatory licensing practices for hair-braiders in Utah.

Liberty Line 4/25/11 Pete Davis and Tom Pyle

What are two of the biggest issues today? The debt ceiling vote and gas prices! No, the two aren't related, but on today's Liberty Line we bring on two experts to talk about the subject.

First, Pete Davis, former Hill Staffer, financial expert, and Godfather of congressional computer economic modeling, comes on to talk about the op-ed he recently authored with Jim Carter. Turns out, there isn't a mere binary choice between voting for or against raising the debt ceiling. We can fix some glitches and get a more accurate picture of our debt!

Then, we turn to a long-time friend, Tom Pyle from the Institute for Energy Research, to talk about why gas prices continue to skyrocket, and what we can do in the near and long term to bring them down!

Liberty Line 4/22/11 Larry Spiwak on Jobs and Regulation

We've talked about the burden that regulations cause for small business, but we haven't talked about the relationship between what the federal government spends on regulating and how that impacts jobs! Today on the Liberty Line we talk to Andrew's good friend (and a man he considers a mentor), Lawrence Spiwak, from the Phoenix Center.

The Phoenix Center has just done a seminal study on the relationship between regulatory spending and jobs, and has come to some stunning conclusions. If you're concerned about getting the economy moving, then you're going to want to listen to the Liberty Line today!

Liberty Line 4/20/11 Ron Bailey and RISK!

First, we get a brief introduction to the subject of Comparative Risk Assessment from Andrew, as he talks a bit about his background on the subject, his father's work, and just what's been going on with risk and public policy.

Then, Reason Magazine's Science Correspondent Ron Bailey joins us to talk about a new journal article on risk by current Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein!

Liberty Line 4/18/11 Thaddeus McCotter and John McCafferty

The Liberty Line rocks hard on Monday, with Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), fresh of his Zeppelin-referencing speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives. We talk about his new book, "Seize Freedom!", fiscal responsibility, and the overall direction of the nation.

Then, as a follow up to our interview with Lee Doren on the petty tyrannies of local government, we sit down with John McCafferty, the Delaware home-owner whose basketball hoop was unceremoniously ripped from his front lawn by state government workers (luckily, his wife had climbed down from her protest perch beforehand!).

Liberty Line 4/15/11 Steve Pinetti from Kimpton Hotels

We're back after a down week (due to Andrew being under the weather and big meetings early on), and we're shifting gears for Friday. One of the prevailing themes in our world is the entrepreneurial spirit - how entrepreneurs create a product, build their brand names, and become leaders in their industries.

Steve Pinetti, Senior Vice-President for Sales and Marketing at the Kimpton Group joins us. Kimpton, the nation's leading "boutique hotel" company turns 30 this month, and Andrew invited them to come on the show to talk about the secrets to their success.

Andrew's been a fan of Kimpton hotels for years, and he and Steve talk about the chain's core philosophy, swap stories about the hotels, and we get the skinny on where Kimpton's going next!

He comes on to talk about his just-released book, "Gangster Government".

Then, as the shut-down looms, we talk budgetary policy with one of the best, Cato's Dan Mitchell!

Liberty Line 4/6/11 Chris Edwards and Lee Doren

The nation's leaders are struggling to bring the cost of government under some real control, and we're facing the real possibility of a government shut down this week--all this, and a negotiation over cutting between less than ONE percent of the budget and around Three percent!

Now comes Rep. Paul Ryan with his proposal to cut $400billion per year over the next 20 years. Is he serious? The Liberty Line talks to Cato's Chris Edwards, who's got the skinny. Chris breaks down what Ryan's proposing, what needs to be done, and whether or not he thinks the government WILL shut down (and if that's a good or a bad thing).

Then we're joined again by our friend Lee Doren. The New York City food police are starting to live by their own draconian rules, and Lee tells us what he thinks that means for them and us! And maybe you've heard about that other case of government run amok - this time with Delaware lopping down neighborhood basketball hoops! Lee fills us in, and we chat about the petty tyrannies of state government!

Liberty Line 4/4/11 Harmon Kaslow and Adam Thierer
