Libertarian talk show host Jason Stapleton joins the Freedom Report podcast to discuss Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and liberty’s chances in 2016. Is this the last stand for freedom lovers? Our show today focuses on the presidential aspirations of the two tea party types, and pits the ideas of libertarianism against the real world realities we freedom lovers will have to face.

The liberty movement is clearly at a crossroads, with the failed presidential candidacies of Congressman Ron Paul igniting a stronger movement whose hopes are pinned on the potential nomination of his son Senator Rand Paul. Many believe that this is the high water mark for the liberty movement, and wonder if we don’t win this election whether there may ever be a better chance to advance our common principles.

Is 2016 the last stand? Stapleton, a father, former Marine, currency trader, and libertarian activist weighs in. Listen in and find out, and don’t forget to subscribe to the Freedom Report on iTunes, and subscribe to Jason Stapleton’s show on Youtube.
