Summary

In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair welcomes in the lead singer of “Street Hop” / Metal band “Backwordz” - and outspoken libertarian - Eric July!

They then touch on some genuine concerns that Bernie Sanders supporters hold, dissect the issue of private prisons, and Sanders’ shocking praise for Fidel Castro.
