Great call Michael and thanks for holding this one for the end of the show. It was not your typical head on collision with a trump ideologue. Sean was actually willing to listen to facts albeit reluctantly w out resorting to spewing Fox talking point propaganda and conspiracy theories. I’m just glad I’m not his mama LOL. And since I find these sort of calls interesting on your shower I was so proud of you for descalating when you realized Sean was not gonna go full on cult with you. If only police officers could learn the same skill before resorting to violence against a peaceful protesters! ✌🏻

Sean needs to understand calling legitimate news sources "Fake News" is a step toward Fascism. That's what the Nazis did, calling Jews rats and not real Germans. People at that time said Hitler was just talking and blowing things up for affect. BUT it got the population conditioned to think that way and not care, or even be in favor, when they went farther in restricting Jews and all the other "undesirables." Freedom requires vigilance, Sean.

Hey Sean........see OZ for a brain. Why are they called Libertarians when the name name/game itself is antithetical to anything remotely resembling Liberty? Inquiring minds want to know!

Libertarianism, in the US, is actually cover for racism and oligarchy. The Koch's are "libertarian" as long as they are able to protect their parochial interests through libertarianism." If one wants to explore my assertion that American "libertarians" are essentially wolf racists in laissez-faire sheep's clothing, I suggest reading the following article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/08/24/libertarians-wrestle-with-the-alt-right/

I guess my question was more rhetorical than bombastic in context. Just tired of putzes like Cantwell talking tough and then this:

I'll let Desus and Mero bring it on home, just because.......

Yeah, it seems when one of their own gains power--the police state they complained about doesn't exist.

This guy would have been ok with his mother being tear gassed if the cops needed to move people so the president can pose with a book that he’s never read.

When it comes to most Libertarians, it's all about ME, ME, ME, ME!

Michael, thanks for sharing this with us. However, I wish you could have held Sean on the call a little longer to break down for him just how his "libertarianism" is actually just cover for his racism, which he most likely is afraid to admit to. The very definition of white fragility was demonstrated in this brief conversation. Too bad you could not get Sean to admit, absolutely, that he would not want his mother pelted with rubber bullets or gassed. I may have to subscribe to Sirius...

Mike was excellent as usual and 100% agree with James; *many* lunatic Infowars/OANN/Drudge MAGAs are chickensh*t and hide behind stuff like "well I listen to all sides" or "I'm an independent" and "both sides are terrible" when in actuality there upvoting Pizzagate conspiracies on Reddit. Mike's paddled their behinds before but Sean in particular would've been an interesting one to explore.

Great job, Michael, as always. Bringing in BOP riot guards in unmarked uniforms is just a bit fascist, as well! And, "I don't know who David Duke is", as well.

Aside from him being beyond ridiculous calling himself a “Conservative Libertarian”, he is perfectly comfortable with his mother being injured by military-style tactics?! It’s fascinating how the “Seans” (if that is really his name) of the world wear their Badge of Racism like it’s a symbol of honor when they call into a radio program, hide under a white hood and robe, or pose as pro-democracy protestors and then loot and destroy so others take the blame. Hmmmm why all the secrecy in revealing their identities if they are so proud of their hatred?

Funny how all these Libertarian (or as I call them: the GOPers useful idiots) always spouted out how the police state is out to get us. But once one of their own gets power, the police are their buddies.

Sean from Louisiana is not at libertarian, they hate government power. Libertarians skate to the edge of anarchy.

A POTUS using police it military to clear a crowd for a photo op is something libertarians would find nauseating.
