C-SPAN has posted the footage from FreedomFest in Vegas this past July. If you’re bored, at least check out 12:20 when Kennedy hugs me. Bucket list item, check.

C-SPAN (10 July 2015)

Robert Kuttner and Robert Murphy participated in a debate on the Federal Reserve and its role in our economy. The debate is set up as a mock trial with Mr. Kuttner defending the Federal Reserve, and Mr. Murphy prosecuting. Lisa Kennedy Montgomery acted as the judge and Steve Forbes, John Allison, Alexander Green, and Stephen Miller acted as witnesses. FreedomFest is an annual libertarian conference held in Las Vegas.

Robert Murphy: "Maybe your next witness will agree with you."

Fun mock trial. Kennedy is kind of annoying in a few spots but overall entertaining and informative. I wonder who voted not guilty - in my libertarian court, they would've been outed.
