Harvey Silverglate visits the Messy Times studios only to discover there is no daylight between us. Your Enlightentaining Host suspected that would be the case, having read and loved Harvey's brilliant book, Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent. During a wide-ranging conversation between two free speech absolutists, we touch on a few topics of little controversy. Abolish the FBI. Plea Bargaining is Extortion. Harvard is Broken.
The Harvard Corporation runs the University, including the rampant runaway Leftist nonsense which has spread throughout higher education in America, leading to among other things, the erosion of our educational rankings internationally. The Speech Codes and kangaroo courts at Harvard mirror the same neo-Marxist nonsense found at hundreds of colleges across the land.
As an alumnus of Harvard Law School, who grew up with the mantra "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," he is appalled by the Maoist censorship madness run amok on his former campus. He is running as a write-in candidate for the Harvard Board of Overseers, with a very simple, compelling and clear agenda.
As for the FBI, it's an insanely corrupt institution from its inception and should be abolished immediately. We have all witnessed the recent travesties under Comey and Wray. Tune in to hear a defense attorney's view of this viper's nest. The FBI has never written an accurate Form 302 which is THEIR written recollection of what YOU are supposed to have said during an interview, during which YOU are not allowed to record anything. J. Edgar Hoover is alive and well and the FBI needs to be relegated to the history books as a cautionary tale about the dangers of centralized power in a republic.
Lastly, and in keeping with the proper application of Justice in this country, every single defendant is entitled to a real trial, where the State must either prove its case or drop the matter. Plea bargaining is extortion, does enormous societal damage and should be outlawed instantly.
Once you've heard us bash the living bejeebers out of the parasitic, overreaching Administrative Leviathan, might we suggest as a palate cleanser that you check out CoinGeek's Bitcoin 101 free course offering?
