In this special episode of LCTL, Todd interviewed Reason Magazine writer and columnist and Reason Foundation senior analyst Shikha Dalmia for a 30-minute interview on her Reason piece "The Myth of Free Market Health Care in America," her thoughts on the town hall meeting ruckuses, and the Democrats' consideration of government health cooperatives.

[*Note: Shikha was a few minutes ago, so out of respect for her, I extended the show 11 minutes over the time it was supposed to end. As I said on this broadcast of this special episode, I will be doing periodic special episodes that are actually interviews with certain libertarian and pro-free market individuals who are prominent and well-known in the Liberty movement.]

Special Episode: A 30 - Minute Interview with Shikha Dalmia - August 20, 2009

Episode Notes: In the one hundredth and sixth episode, Todd, Jim, permanent panelist and co-host Muslims for Liberty's Will Coley, Alongside Night director and libertarian activist J Neil Schulman, and libertarian Republican activist Bill Westmiller discuss the following: 

1. Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton was brought before Congress to answer for the ensuing email server scandal, the deaths of the four government operatives in Benghazi, and the Mohammad video that purportedly caused the Muslims insurgents to react with violence in September 2012. 

2. The two Republican debates, which have shaped the election season and have resulted in Donald Trump rising in the polls, despite his racist, nativistic, and jingoistic rhetoric and his statist platitudes which have excited the conservative conservative base of the GOP. 

3. Rand Paul's presidential campaign continuing its downward slide into irrelevancy and nothingness, which ought to convince him to pull out of the race. 

4. The recent season premiere of Homeland which has been heavily anti-Muslim from its inception as a show, but at least this season it is admitting its bias against the people who practice Islam. 

5. Playboy deciding to drop its nudity to "reflect" the "modern" male reader and responding to the drop in circulation due to online porn sites where porn customers desire that over pics teasing guys. Playboy's new direction makes the New York Times look like it's dropping its news coverage in favor of colorful commentary. 

6. The Democratic debate goes into massive detail about the free stuff that Hillary, Bernie Sanders, Lincoln Chaffe, and Jim Webb promised and why the event made you want to snooze. 

7. Democratic candidate Jim Webb dropping out of the race. 

8. October 21 being #BacktotheFutureDay, because in Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and Marty's girlfriend Jennifer (while unconscious) fly into the future and arrive on October 21, 2015. What a hoot, huh? 

9. Actress Jennifer Lawrence writes an essay in Lena Dunham's newsletter Lenny, in which she comes out with an admission that she has been underpaid in Hollywood in light of last December's Sony hack scandal, in which it revealed she was underpaid in comparison to her male co-stars. She has gone to say that it's not the business's fault for underpaying; it's on her. She says that she didn't negotiate for her salaries very well because she didn't want to appear to be "difficult or spoiled." Wow. At least she has convictions. Doesn't she? 

10. Chris Cantwell's recent resignation from from Free Talk Live and the dropping of his AMP subscription as well as his on-air fight with Mark Edge and Ian Freeman over his defense of Stefan Molyneaux and Charles Murray on the discussion of proof that African-American individuals score lower on IQ tests due to genetic inferiority because of their race. This all started with his response to an FTL listener, Mark, and Johnson Rice's objection to Molyneaux's claim in the secret FTL and AMP Facebook group. 

LP presidential candidate Joy Waymire comes on at 8:30 p.m. to discuss her presidential campaign, her goals, what she's accomplished with her campaign, why she's running in this race, and her thoughts on the Democratic and GOP fields this season.
