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!

Del. Justin Ready (R-Carroll) from the Maryland House of Delegates stops in to talk about his first session as a Freshman Delegate, and to let listeners know about the efforts to push back against in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.

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.

2011-04-27T11:56:00.001-04:00

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!

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!

2011-04-22T11:09:00.001-04:00

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!

2011-04-20T08:36:00.001-04:00

It seems that Wednesdays really have been getting academic on the Liberty Line - and you're not going to want to miss this episode of the podcast. Today we talk Risk - comparing risk, how risk informs public policy, and why Andrew gets so excited talking about it!

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!

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

2011-04-15T10:17:00.001-04:00

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!

2011-04-06T07:29:00.001-04:00

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

The, Bob Dorigo Jones from the Center for America comes on to talk about the 14th annual "America's Wackiest Labels" contest. Why do Americans need labels that say, "Remove children before folding stroller?" What impact does this have on our society and our economy? What can be done about it?
