Conservitive blogger, video editor and all around lying scumbag Andrew Breitbart died just after midnight last night according to reports and the cause of death is a mystery. Reports have ranged from an enlarged heart to unspecified heart problems. The coroner has yet to issue a report for the exact cause of death.  Download 64kbs MP3   From conservative rags to so-called liberal outlets like the New York Times, many are trying to gloss over the fact the Brietbart was a racist and aliar who used manipulated and staged videos to attack political enemies on the left including voter registration groups like ACORN and his edited video of a Shirley Sherrod speech directly led to her being fired by the Obama administration.   Tonight I am joined by Marty Owings a former Blog Talk Radio host who now is a reporter and livestream host for the independent news organization Minnesota Capitol News.  Minnesota Capitol News is a non-partisan, independent site devoted to news, information and commentary on issues from the State Capitol and politics throughout Minnesota.

  Tonight on LEAP DAY we ending the Drug War with former undercover narcotics officer Jay Fleming. After the "war on drugs" was declared, this dedicated law enforcer enlisted to make drug buys for the police department in his hometown of Spokane, Washington. Over the next 15 years, Jay fought against the burgeoning drug trade in various capacities. He trained undercover narcotics officers in Spokane and hired out to other departments across the Northwest, conducting long-term undercover investigations of murder, drugs and money laundering.   Listen to Cd quality live audio stream   Jay recalls a drug case he worked on in Spokane that led investigators into Texas. The sheriff advised to not pursue because it would cost too much money and their department wouldn't receive credit. In Jay's experience, this wasn't an isolated incident, but rather the status quo. "If you called the DEA, it was the same thing," he says. "Unless it involved a ton of coke or pot, they didn't want anything to do with you."

Joining me tonight is Mr. Mo Kelly of The Mo Kelly Report. Mr. Kelly writes in his article "Can we finally address the issue of substance abuse, or is it still “too soon?

Haskell recently gave a witness impact statement in the case. "I will just say that regardless of how the media and government try to shape the public perception of this case, I am convinced that Umar was given an intentionally defective bomb by a U.S. Government agent and placed on our flight without showing a passport or going through security, to stage a false terrorist attack to be used to implement various government policies." - Kurt Haskell Listener Supported Radio - Donate Now!

 A new drug law has been signed by President Obama. The Ultralight Aircraft Smuggling Prevention Act of 2012 closes a loophole that treated the use of ultralight aircraft to help with drug smuggling different from the use of other aircraft. Now, their use can bring a long jail sentence and stiff fines.   Listen or Download 64kbs MP3   Tonight I am joined by Leonard Frieling of Law Enforcement Against Prohibtion. Mr. Frieling says "If the government stopped creating and supporting the artificially high street price of illegal drugs, the drug-associated crime would disappear."   In the course of his practice as a judge and a criminal defense attorney, he has witnessed that the prohibition of drugs is the main cause of the violence associated with the use and distribution of drugs. Addicts are driven to desperate measures including robbery by the artificially inflated prices of drugs, while criminal elements are enriched and empowered through their dominance of this lucrative market. Leonard notes, "In 32 years of criminal defense practice, I have never encountered a turf-war involving coffee."
