In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, host Marc Clair welcomes back former military intelligence and current author Donnie Gebert! Donnie and Marc catch up a bit on the crazy world we've come to live in since the last time he was on the show pre-covid. They discuss the over-the-top reactions to the virus by both the government and, more frighteningly so, the general public at large. Is Covid a mass hysteria more than it is a virus at this point? They then discuss Donnie's new book, The Art of War. Why did he feel the need to provide a modern addendum to the classic Sun Tzu strategy guide? How can we apply it's lessons to our daily interactions and to the political world around us? We also get Donnie's thoughts on the election and what we might see afterwards, including the possible ushering in of a new national cryptocurrency? We dig into this and so much more on today's blast of an episode! Be sure to hear more from Johnny Profita on the Peddling Fiction podcast! And be sure to support today's Nitt

On today’s episode of Felony Friday Quawntay “Bosco” Adams joins John to share his incredible story. Quawntay spent 28 of his 45 years of life confined to the cells of juvenile, county, state, and federal detention facilities. Now he’s using those struggles to inspire change and hope. In May 2006, facing an impending conviction, Bosco escaped from a maximum security detention facility and was captured not long after. But his escapee caught the attention of an international audience. Then in January 2020 Bosco defied the odds again by discovering a loophole in the law that would change his own story. He filed a motion and fired his skeptical court appointed attorney. He took the fight for his freedom into his own hands and he won. Bosco was granted immediate release on July 24, 2020. While he was in prison he wrote the book, Chasin’ Freedum, which has been optioned for a feature film that is set to begin production soon.

On today’s edition of Felony Friday, Richard Midkiff joins John to share his unique story. Richard was sentenced to 38 years in prison for felony murder, related to a 1996 robbery and murder. He was driving the getaway car. In 2019, Richard was released from prison after a series of U.S. Supreme Court rulings in the 2010s affording prisoners who were sentenced to long terms as juveniles the right to have their cases reviewed.

She also shared about her YouTube channel called Strong Prison Wives, where she makes videos in relation to being a strong prison wife.
