We Are Libertarians
I hear it all the time... "Brian, I'm so tired of partisan politics. It's exhausting being constantly outraged all the time. I'm tired of arguing with people and want to start getting things done. What can I do?" At The Brian Nichols Show, we're answering that very question by interviewing noted entrepreneurs, elected officials, business executives, economists, and more by offering practical, actionable solutions; not rhetoric.
As a sales and marketing executive in the greater telecommunications/cybersecurity sector, I've spent years working with C-Level executives to help them "future-proof" their company's infrastructure for an uncertain future. Now, with my team of industry pros, we're taking proven sales and marketing techniques and bringing them to the world of politics. Instead of focusing on winning arguments, we’re teaching the basic fundamentals of sales and marketing and how we can use them to WIN in the world of politics; teaching you how to meet people where they're at on the issues they care about.
So, you ready to help change the world? Welcome to The Brian Nichols Show.

Is a Trump-DeSantis presidential ticket in 2024 the key to saving America from a fascist takeover? Brian Nichols explores this critical question with Carter Clews of Constitutional Rights PAC on today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show. Nichols and Clews dive deep into the current state of affairs in America, with Clews asserting we are in the midst of a fascist takeover by big government and big business that is trampling individual freedoms. He argues the conservative establishment is doing nothing to stop this, despite having the power. Looking ahead to 2024, they debate whether Trump alone or Trump paired with DeSantis or someone like Tulsi Gabbard or RFK Jr could turn things around. Clews believes the establishment will corrupt the election to install their chosen candidate. Clews outlines four scenarios where he thinks the election could be manipulated, including corruption of the Dem primaries, general election fraud, taking out Trump directly, or even assassination. He stresses the need for citizens to pressure their representatives to take action. Nichols presses Clews on the best course of action, whether working within the GOP or going outside it. Clews argues Republicans must stop being "deaf-mutes" and fight back, through impeachment and other means - the people must get vocal. Listen for a passionate discussion of the threats to democracy and how citizens can fight back.

Want to learn how to consistently make better decisions and take action? In this jam-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show, former NFL exec Paul Epstein reveals his proven formula for playing offense in business and life. Host Brian Nichols digs into Paul's 15 years working for NFL and NBA teams. Paul shares how he learned to thrive in adverse environments, from selling the struggling LA Clippers to guiding the 49ers through national controversy. Despite setbacks, he focused on controlling the controllables - his mindset, work ethic and attitude. Brian and Paul also discuss the importance of will versus skill. Paul explains his hiring philosophy - choosing people based on skill but evaluating them on "will." He only required three daily things: work ethic, positivity and coachability. This built loyalty and unleashed people's potential. Making fast, confident decisions is crucial but difficult. Paul introduces his "head-heart-hands" framework. First align your mindset and authenticity, then take action. If your head and heart agree, it's a "green light" to move forward. If divided, solve the gap. This prevents analysis paralysis and indecision. Playing offense requires decisiveness and comfort with imperfect action. Focus on daily progress - "experience, information, relationships" - not outcomes. Brian also shares how this mindset also helped him enable his 180lbs weight loss journey and how confidence comes from consistently acting on values. Learn Paul's complete playbooks for playing offense and making better decisions. Get his free confidence quiz and keys to build unshakeable confidence at PaulEpsteinSpeaks.com.

Vivek Ramaswamy DOMINATED the Chaotic GOP Debate! 😱 Here's Why He's Got the Establishment Running Scared. Brian Nichols and returning guest Kenny Cody dive into the "undercard" GOP Presidential Debate. Political outsider Vivek Ramaswamy came out of nowhere (or did he??) to completely dominate the stage, stealing the spotlight from traditional Republicans with his bold, anti-establishment style. His sharp wit and maverick stance reminded many of Donald Trump's breakthrough in 2016. But could Vivek actually INHERIT the MAGA movement and become the next standard bearer for the GOP? Kenny argues Vivek understands the party's base better than veteran politicians like Nikki Haley and Chris Christie. His meteoric rise proves Republican voters are DONE with the old establishment guard. But not everyone is convinced Vivek is the next Trump. Brian sees key differences in their communication styles that could appeal to disaffected voters seeking substance over bluster. The debate over Vivek's future prospects gets heated. Will he earn a cabinet position, VP nomination or make a presidential run in 2028? And where does this leave Trump in 2024? If you want to find out why Vivek's breakout debate is making waves and threatening the GOP establishment, do not miss today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show!

Are you tired of two-party politics and looking for real CHANGE? Learn how this small town Mayor WON with 60% as a Libertarian! 😮 On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian interviews Aron Lam, a nurse turned Mayor of Keenesburg, Colorado. After supporting Ron Paul and leaving the GOP, Aron joined the libertarian Mises Caucus. When searching for a winnable race, he discovered his town's mayoral election had low turnout.

His strategy paid off - Aron won the Mayor's race with 60% of the vote on a shoestring budget. Since taking office, Aron has shaken things up. He removed obstructionist city officials, allowed a farmer's market, and legalized selling eggs from backyard chickens.

Are the Republicans losing their fight against the Democratic Left? Join us on The Brian Nichols Show as Kenny Cody from Newsmax uncovers the alarming lack of Republican leadership and their capitulation on critical issues. In this episode, we delve into the controversial debt ceiling debate and the shocking indictment of Donald Trump by Joe Biden, a move that has never been seen before. The division within the Republican Party caused by the debt ceiling bill is on full display, with some Republicans voting in favor while others stand against it. The lack of collaboration and a unified party message is making the Republicans appear foolish in the eyes of the public. Kenny passionately argues that Republicans must abandon centrism and bipartisanship in today's political climate. Instead, they should fervently champion their core values against the socialist Democrats. He passionately discusses the targeted attacks on Trump, pointing out that he is the candidate the establishment, bureaucracy, and nanny state despise the most. The fear they hold for Trump's potential in the 2024 election only fuels his confidence to shake up the status quo. But what if Trump wins in 2024? Kenny explores the intriguing notion of a scorched earth strategy, envisioning Trump gutting federal departments and combating the deep state head-on. He boldly suggests that Trump's indictment is nothing but a political ploy orchestrated by the current administration, weaponizing the Department of Justice against a political rival. And remarkably, this calculated attack might play right into Trump's hands, boosting his momentum in the 2024 primary, where he is expected to be the Republican nominee. Could this political disarray lead the United States down a treacherous path towards a banana republic? Will the indictment serve as a rallying cry for Republicans? Can independents be swayed by the perception that Trump is being unjustly targeted by the DOJ, FBI, and CIA? These crucial factors could shape the destiny of the 2024 election, potentially leading to Trump's triumph and a seismic shift in American politics.

Persuasion is a crucial skill for anyone in business—whether you're convincing your boss to give you a raise or trying to close a client on the phone. But it's not as easy as it sounds. In fact, some people spend years learning how to persuade others and still don't get it right!

It's a question asked by politicians, business leaders, psychologists, and just about anyone who wants to be successful in life. The answer is not as simple as some would make it out to be.

"Facts don't care about your feelings." Hmm, where have we heard that before? While the "facts over feelings" approach to selling politics may be the favorite of some conservative talking heads, let's look at the fact that the most persuasive people in the world use emotions.
If you're a salesperson, you know that it's easy to fall into a trap of thinking that all you have to do is present the facts about your product or service—but that's not enough.
You've got to make sure your audience is emotionally invested in what you're telling them. You can't just tell them that your product is better—you have to show them why it's better! And if you don't do this, they won't care about what you have to say—and then they won't buy from you.
Today, I'm riding solo today to talk about the importance of not simply focusing on facts and figures when selling, but also on emotions and feelings.

Do you have family members who believe in big government, who think that taxes are good and that they're paying into a system that helps everyone? How do you convince them otherwise? Do you try to educate them on all the ways that government harms people through its programs and policies, or do you just tell them about how it's stealing from them? On today's episode, I'm heading over to Dan "Taxation is Theft" Behrman's aptly named podcast, "Taxation is Theft" from back in 2020. The topic we discussed fits perfectly with everyone likely sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow - how do we sell liberty to those outside of our bubble? We talked about some tactics for convincing people outside of our bubble - but let's get real: most of us don't have time for an hour-long conversation about politics at Thanksgiving. What can we do when faced with these conversations as quickly as possible? We've got some tips for that too! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
On today's episode, I'm joined by Chad Harman, Chief Executive Officer of Psycheceutical, who answers that very question and how his team at Psycheceutical is helping blaze the trail forward in this space.
Psycheceutical is focused on developing innovative solutions to society's most pressing problems using psychedelics as medicines. Through their research, they've found that psychedelics are a powerful tool for treating mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
They believe that psychedelics have the potential to be used as a therapeutic aid for people with conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and even schizophrenia—all without the side effects of current pharmaceutical medications.
In this conversation, we discuss: -The current state of our mental health crisis and what it's doing to us as a society -How psychedelic pharmaceuticals can help treat depression and other disorders -How Psycheceutical is making this happen now instead of later - How psychedelic medicines can help people with mental health problems - Why there are so many misconceptions around these drugs Learn more about your ad choices.

Want to sell more? Then try saying less. Sounds counterintuitive, I know. But it’s true. In fact, many of the most successful consumer brands and political organizations in the world do just that—and it works for them. So, how can we do the same thing in the world of liberty politics?
Can we sell more liberty by saying less? Here's the thing: people are busy.
They don't have time to read long emails/posts or watch long videos—and they definitely don't have time to sit through your long, rambling pitch. Couple that with the fact that they have to worry about literally everything else in their lives and you've got a recipe for disaster. But what if we could cut through all of that clutter and get straight to the point? What if we could give people the information they need, quickly and concisely, so they don't have to wade through all of our political jargon? Well, have no fear... not only is it possible, but on today's episode, I'm going to show you how. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the greater liberty movement, you'll find more often than not that our candidates running for office are also our most vocal activists. But is that the best way to approach running for office?
It's not uncommon to see a candidate run for office and then lose, only to then become even more vocal. As an example, when Ron Paul lost his bid for the presidency in 2008 and 2012, he became even more outspoken about it than before.
Today, we go back to 2020 when Larry Sharpe joined the program to help outline how both candidates and activists are needed in the great liberty movement, and how each serves very different/unique roles in the greater scheme of things. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The United States is often thought of as a melting pot, where people from all over the world come together and work together to build a better future. But it looks like that ain't happening anymore. According to a recent study, Americans are more divided than ever before, as the report found that over the past three decades, Americans have become increasingly segregated by political ideology.
This is especially true when it comes to social media. The study found that most Americans now surround themselves with people who think like them, and as a result, are less likely to seek out different perspectives or engage in meaningful conversation.
So, what can we do about it?
On today's episode, we go back to 2020 with my interview with Associate Professor of Philosophy Kevin Vallier joins the show to discuss his new book, "Trust in a Polarized Age". We dive into what exactly has changed in America and why it's causing us to distrust each other more than ever before. Kevin and I talk about the philosophical roots of our political polarization, why someone would want to live in a bubble, and how we can break out of it. We also discuss what it means to be "trustworthy" in today's polarized political climate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's episode, I'm riding solo discussing the 3 common biases you'll face when selling liberty.
In this video, we'll discuss:
-
The first bias is the ostrich bias. This is when people refuse to acknowledge that a negative outcome is coming from a decision they made, so they "put their heads in the sand".
-
The second bias is confirmation bias. This is when people listen only to what they want to hear and ignore all other information presented to them.
-
The third bias is bandwagon bias/groupthink. This happens when individuals with similar beliefs come together and form their own group, which causes them to "go along" with one another and ignore any opposing views that are presented to them.

On today's episode, I'm joined riding solo, sharing my thoughts on Justin Amash's remarks at the LP of Illinois State Gala, where he proposed that Libertarians should take "democracy, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights" as their messaging differentiators when trying to sell our ideas.
Is he right?
I can't help but think that if we follow through with this strategy, we'll end up selling a lot of things that are not inherently Libertarian—the same way that "Hope & Change" was a message that appealed to many people who don't know what they're getting behind when they hear it.
The truth is that most Americans aren't really interested in hearing about democracy right now—rather, they're interested in security and prosperity for themselves and their families.
Personally, I don't think that message doesn't address either of those concerns, but you tell me...
Does democracy sell?

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jason Loftus, filmmaker and director of Eternal Spring (2022).
Eternal Spring is a documentary that shows the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, who have been targeted by the Communist Chinese Party for their belief systems. When Falun Gong was first introduced to China in the 1990s, it quickly gained popularity among Chinese citizens who were looking for a way to improve their health and spiritual well-being. By 1999, there were a reported 70 million practicing Falun Gong members in China. That same year, however, the Chinese Communist Party outlawed the practice of Falun Gong altogether and began a brutal campaign against its practitioners.
Today, we discuss the Falun Gong's fight against Chinese Communist Party propaganda and persecution, as we dig into the story of a group of heroes who sought to highjack the CCP corporate television broadcasts in 2002.

Hey folks... a much more somber episode today, as today we remember the life of our good friend, Gary Collins. Gary passed away last month, stunning those of us who loved him and cherished his friendship.
Gary has joined us here at The Brian Nichols Show many a time, teaching us life lessons, how to live "the Simple Life", and how to best balance our three-legged stool in life.
Today, I wanted to share some of my favorite memories and moments from my having Gary on the program over the years. Please take some time to listen to his words and take them to heart... life is far too short otherwise.
I'm going to miss you, my friend.
Until we meet again.
In Memory of Gary Collins (1970-2022).

On today's episode, we're going back into the archives as we listen to my conversation with Mark Schneider on the future of nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is one of the most controversial energy sources in modern society. Supporters claim it's clean and cheap, while detractors point to safety concerns and nuclear waste as reasons why it should be phased out. But what do we actually know about nuclear energy? Is there a future for it? And what are some alternatives that might help us achieve a cleaner, more sustainable world?
Original Show Notes (July 2021):
Many people are turning away from conventional power, and opting for sustainable solutions. Nuclear power plants may not be spiking headlines, but they are being eyed as a viable option for the future.
The future of nuclear energy production is in strong hands because unlike many other aspects of life, nuclear power is an option that will ALWAYS be needed.
Mark Schneider joins the program to help show how the advancements in nuclear energy have created solutions that answer the questions of climate change, energy independence, and planetary prosperity.
But what about the common objections we hear about nuclear energy?
Are nuclear power plants safe? Are nuclear power plants efficient? Are nuclear power plants bad for the environment? Can nuclear waste be recycled?
Mark answers and overcomes all those objections (and more) on today's information-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show!

Hey guys! On today's episode, I'm riding solo, outlining 3 ways libertarians can WOW their target market to help WIN their elections!
Libertarians have a tough road ahead of them. They're fighting for a cause that is misunderstood by many, and they're up against some of the biggest corporations and most powerful political parties in the world. But guess what? Libertarians are fighting for something great—something worth fighting for.
That's why it's important for libertarians to understand how to connect with their target market. In this episode, I'll show you 3 ways you can WOW your target market so they know what you're all about and get on board with your message!

On today's episode, I'm joined by John Odermatt to discuss Elon Musk officially positioning himself to move forward with his acquiring Twitter, PLUS we talk about him trying to avoid World War III/nuclear war over the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
This is a big day for Twitter, and it's a big day for Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO has officially announced that he will be buying out Twitter from its current shareholders in an effort to turn it into a profitable company. But how will this work? And why does he want it so badly?
In addition to talking about the implications of this news for Twitter and Elon Musk himself, we also talked about how he's been involved in some pretty controversial issues recently—like his trying to cool tensions in a possible WWIII/nuclear war situation.

On today's episode, I'm joined by some very special guests: donkeys!
Okay, no, that's not true... actually, it's me riding solo, but today, we're talking about why you should never, and I mean NEVER, argue with donkeys.
Even if they say the grass is blue.
But… why not? Why would a donkey ever even suggest that the grass was anything other than green?
This week, we're going to explore this question and more as I take you through the old tale of why you should never argue with a donkey, no matter what color it claims its grass is.
And how does this apply to sales and politics??
The answer might surprise you.

Today I'm joined once again by Spike Cohen to talk about how we can effectively build a culture of liberty.
To start, what is a culture of liberty? It's not just the principles that we stand for, but also the way in which we implement them. How can we make sure that our actions are consistent with the values we espouse? And how do we build a culture that reinforces those values?
Spike and I talk about what it means to live as a libertarian in today's world, and how you can make sure that your actions match your words.
We'll also discuss how to identify opportunities for growth within yourself and within others, so that you can all work together toward common goals—and maybe even create some new ones along the way!

On today's episode, we're going back to January 2021, when I joined Matt Kibbe on his program, Kibbe on Liberty.
He and I talked about the biggest issue facing America at the time: how do we sell freedom?
We talked about how the problem of selling freedom has two parts—the first being that people don't know what they want until they see it, and the second being that people think they want freedom but actually want something else (like security or safety).
We also talked about the importance of listening to what people are saying and not just assuming you know what they want. I'm a firm believer in the power of listening—after all, it's how I got my start as a consultant. In fact, I used a lot of the same techniques that Matt and I talk about here to help me learn about my clients' needs.
I hope you enjoy this trip to yesteryear as much as I did!

On today's episode, I'm joined by Remso Martinez to discuss his new Substack venture, "Club Memos", that focuses on creating a community of good people.
As we talk about how he got started, Remso shares his thoughts on how communities can help us grow and learn from one another. We then move on to discuss how he came to the conclusion that there are some things you can only learn through experience, which is why he believes that when it comes to knowledge exchange, it's important to share what you know with others so that they can benefit from your experience.
We also talk about the importance of having shared intel and knowledge exchange within our communities in order to help each other out in times of need. The more people who are part of your community means there will be more people who have access to the information you have collected over time. This makes it easier for them to help themselves out when they need something specific or just want support from someone else who has been through something similar before them.
I've known Remso for about a number of years and have been thoroughly impressed with his ability to connect with others and create meaningful relationships with them. This quality is what drove him to start Club Memos—a group dedicated to connecting like-minded individuals who want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Inflation. What is it? How does it impact people in different countries around the world?
On today's episode, I'm joined by Jorge Jraissati, Director of Alumni of Students For Liberty, to talk about the impacts of inflation and what we can learn about inflation from his home country of Venezuela.
Inflation is a phenomenon that impacts everyone differently depending on their circumstances. But in the end, it always comes down to money—and how much you have, or don't have. It's really important to understand how inflation happens so that we can prepare ourselves for the future and plan accordingly.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jon Miltimore from FEE to talk about why modern monetary theory loses to basic economics every time.
We go over the basics of MMT—its ideas of fiat currency, how it's different from other forms of money, and why it's so popular with politicians who have no idea what they're talking about.
We also discuss how these ideas have been used to justify policies in for thousands of years—which hurt working people and make things worse for our economy long-term.
Finally, we'll cover how the MMTers' theory has been disproved in practice and how we can use basic economic principles to understand the problems with their theory.
In our discussion, we'll look at:
-Why MMT is considered neo-Keynesianism
-How an understanding of money and banking are essential to understanding modern monetary theory
-The role of inflation in MMT and its effects on real wages
-Why inflation doesn't help workers in a recession
-How monetary policy affects unemployment

On today's episode, I'm joined by Kenny Cody to talk about why Republicans need to start playing offense versus constantly playing defense to Democratic narratives.
We discuss how Democrats have found success in the past by telling voters they're the party that cares about people, while Republicans are just the party of the rich. And we talk about how this strategy has helped them win over some of our own voters—which means if you're a Republican and want to win elections, you need to start talking about issues that resonate with more than just your base.
We'll also discuss some examples of how framing works in practice, and what Republicans can do differently this time around!

On today's episode, I'm joined by Chris Russomanno, Libertarian candidate for Congress in New Jersey. He's going to tell us why it's time to end the wars, fix our money, and restore our civil rights.
We'll be discussing how the United States is currently involved in an endless war on terror funded by The Fed's endless printing of money that has cost us trillions of dollars while also infringing on our civil rights through mass surveillance, indefinite detention without trial, torture, and assassination by drone strikes.
Chris is a passionate advocate for ending the wars that have become a core part of our political system. He wants to fix our money system so we can finally get rid of the debt that has been strangling us for decades. And he believes that restoring civil rights will help us restore our country to its former glory.

Listen where we discuss how we can do a much better job of speaking to the issues that matter to people by simply asking them.
No matter what your political persuasion is or what your beliefs are on any particular issue, it's important to remember that if you're trying to persuade someone who doesn't agree with you, it's not enough just to tell them what they should be thinking—you have to meet them where they are, and ask them what they care about.

On today's episode I'm joined by Carla Gericke from the Free State Project to discuss the importance of setting your own narratives versus responding to the narratives set by others.
Whether it's the media, a friend, or even a complete stranger, we are constantly bombarded with narratives about how things work. But what if we were in charge of setting our own narratives? What if you could control how you're perceived and what people think about you?
That's exactly what Carla has done with her life-long mission to create a libertarian community in New Hampshire that is completely independent from any government control.

In today's episode, I'm walking through 4 speeches/ads from 4 past presidents and outlining why they worked and what we can learn from them.
I want to start by saying that when you're trying to sell something, there's a lot of different ways you could go about it: You could be like Ronald Reagan's 1984 "Morning in America" ad that was so effective at selling America on Reagan's vision that it helped him win reelection in an absolute landslide. You could be like Bill Clinton in 1992 and appeal to their sense of patriotism and vision. Or you could be like Barack Obama in 2008 and use a personal narrative to draw people in and a sense of a unifying message. Or one like Donald Trump in 2016 who helped draw contrast to the pain the customer already knows versus a better future. (And if you want to see all four of these things done well, check out my video "4 EFFECTIVE Sales Pitches From 4 Former Presidents.")
But the thing that makes these speeches/ads so effective isn't just their delivery—it's also the way they frame their messages in terms of deeper themes or values that resonate with people across demographics.

Today we're joined by Demetrius Minor from Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty.
Demetrius is an advocate for criminal justice reform and he's been working for years to get conservatives to rethink the death penalty.
And you know what? He's right—there are plenty of reasons why conservatives should be concerned about the death penalty.
The death penalty isn't cost-effective, it doesn't deter crime, and it can be applied unfairly. It also doesn't work as a deterrent and often isn't even used as punishment by states that still have it on the books.

Collectivists of many stripes—but one aim—have been eating away at our free society for over one hundred years.
If we want to reverse America’s current slide into authoritarianism and actively move towards a fully free society, we need to be as clear about our goals as the collectivists have been about theirs. And theirs have always been power and control—to that end, ingeniously using indoctrination masquerading as education.
So, what to do? Marsha Enright joins the program to show how Reliance College will focus on utilizing the Montessori method - an educational philosophy that has been ahead of its time for 100 years in understanding the importance of human development to optimal learning and growth - as the basis for her new college, Reliance College.

President Biden reportedly plans to announce a long-awaited plan to forgive up to $10,000 in student loans and extend the COVID pause in repayments one more time.
The forgiveness plan is expected to benefit most borrowers making less than $125,000 a year. It is designed to help young borrowers and give Biden’s Democratic allies a crucial boost ahead of the fall midterm elections.
The repayment freeze is expected to be extended until the end of the year.
Joining me to break this down is Clint Russell from the Liberty Lockdown Podcast!

Libertarians need to know that there are many people who have never been exposed to libertarianism before, so we need to meet them where they're at on the issues that matter most to them.

Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a former State Department official under George W. Bush, is best known for her conservative political views and her distaste for President Donald Trump.
She ran in the Republican primary for Wyoming's at-large congressional district this week, but unsurprisingly lost to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman by a whopping margin of 66% to 29%.
Cheney's loss means that she'll have to find another way to make herself relevant—and it looks like she has no shortage of ideas. After her loss, she said that she may consider running for PRESIDENT in 2024.
But here's the thing: after losing so badly, it seems unlikely that Liz Cheney will be able to win another one anytime soon.
Her future...? Well… then she'll just be a token Republican on some progressive panel on cable television.

On today's episode, I explain how we can learn from Ron Paul's 2008 campaign when it comes to standing out from the crowd and building long-term trust.
Ron Paul was an outsider in the 2008 presidential race. He wasn't part of the establishment and he had a lot of so-called "controversial" ideas that didn't seem to appeal to many people. But despite this, he managed to get a lot of votes—and even more importantly, his message resonated with people who may not have voted for him but still felt something about what he said.
So how did he do it? Ron Paul spoke truth, even when it seemed like nobody else was listening. He spoke up for himself and his beliefs—even if nobody else agreed with him at first. And by doing this, he built trust over time, which allowed him to continue speaking truth until eventually his ideas were adopted by others who had been waiting for someone like him to show them what they could do together in order to change their communities and the world around them!

On today's episode, I talk about how Libertarians can learn a thing or two from Republicans and Democrats when it comes to building coalitions.
If you're a Libertarian, then chances are you have your own little pond that you swim in—and that's OK! But it's also important to realize that every little fish needs to reach out of the water sometimes. That means reaching out to people who aren't like you, having conversations with them, and learning from them.
You don't want to be an echo chamber—you want to break past the "little fish in little pond" syndrome and build coalitions with people who aren't exactly like you.

On today's episode, we're going to dig into strategic voting.
If you're a libertarian, you're probably wondering: which path is best for liberty? Should I vote for the Libertarian Party and hope for the best, or should I vote for the Republican Party and try to change it from the inside?
Fortunately, there's an answer: strategic voting! When you use strategic voting, you put your vote where it will have the most impact—and that means voting for whichever party has the best chance of winning.

When a madman with a rifle started shooting at an Indiana mall this past weekend, a good guy with a gun stopped him—and saved countless lives.
The 22-year-old hero was at the mall when he saw the madman pull out his weapon and start shooting. He immediately pulled out his concealed pistol and killed the shooter.
Unfortunately, three people were killed in this attack, but thanks to this brave young man, many more lives were saved than lost.

A new poll from the New York Times revealed that a whopping 64% of Democratic voters don’t want Joe Biden to run again in 2024.
Oh, and even better - his overall approval rating has just dropped to 33%.
The results of the NYT/Siena College poll also found that only 13% of Americans believe the country is heading on the right track.
Of those who said they planned to vote in the 2024 Democratic primary and preferred a candidate other than Biden, 33% cited the president’s age as the most important reason, followed by his job performance at 32% and 12% simply just wanting someone new.
So, where does that leave Joe Biden for 2024? Heck, where does that leave the Democrats?

On today's episode, I'm going to share five steps you can take to help your prospect better understand the value of your solution by attaching emotion to meaning.
Emotion is one of our most powerful drivers. It can help us make decisions and act on them, but it also helps us remember things better. When we attach emotion to something our brain makes it stick so we don't forget it later on.
So how do we use this in sales and marketing? Well, if you're trying to get people interested in buying your product or service, then you need them to be excited about it—and that excitement is going to come from how much of an emotional tie they see in the meaning of your solution.

Texans, it's time to TEXIT.
Today's guest is Daniel Miller, President of the Texas National Movement and vocal advocate for TEXIT!
TEXIT is the term used to refer to Texas exiting the union and becoming an independent, self-governing nation. TEXIT is not Texas independence.
Rather, TEXIT is the process that gets Texas to independence.
TEXIT means that Texans determine their own laws and not 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats in Washington. It means that Texans get a government that begins and ends at the borders of Texas. It means an end to the giant sucking sound of $103-$160 billion dollars per year being siphoned from the pockets of Texas taxpayers. Most importantly, it means that for the first time in Texan's lives that they control their own destiny.
TEXAS + EXIT = TEXIT

With July 4th approaching closely, Americans look to their inner patriot to reflect on why they are proud to be an American in celebrating our independence from Great Britain.
With most excited about spending the holiday with friends, family, and colleagues, it is hard to deny that this is the most patriotic day of the year.
In the past few months, however, many on the left have questioned why any American should be proud of their country with the state it’s currently in, reflecting on the Uvalde massacre and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
It seems as if progressives will look for any reason they can to despise the country that has given them everything while attempting to make conservatives feel guilty for their belief systems being the reason
The United States is on the decline in their eyes. Unfortunately, this is no surprise, but conservatives must finally embrace the hate and be proud of their values.
Kenny Cody returns to the program to discuss all this and more on our July 4th Special!

Rather than traditional top-down government, today's guest (Fred Eberlein) advocates for a bottom-up approach that right sizes the Federal Government’s bureaucracy while re-aligning it with local needs, defined by "we the people".
His book argues that Washington’s complexity and size provide camouflage to a political system corrupted by fundraising-centric politics. With no end in sight to the Federal Government’s chronic inefficiency, his book calls for removing Congress from its control over spending and returning that responsibility to state governments.
Washington will not be fixed by bi-partisanship or budget cuts.
Its reckless spending habits run too deep, as does the need for ever grander political campaigns. A Plan B is needed if the USA we cherish is to endure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colorado) has often been cited by libertarians as being "one of the most libertarian governors in the country". A personal friend of former Libertarian Congressman Justin Amash and frequent guest on various libertarian outlets (like Reason), Polis has filtered with Libertarians for years.
But does his governance in Colorado actually hold up to his supposed libertarian bona fides?
Today, we dig through an article written by Joshua Sharf (Newsweek) who gives his not-so-rosy take on Gov. Polis' supposed libertarian leanings.
"In the last month or so, the Colorado governor's publicity people have been busy. Polis has written an op-ed in the Washington Post defending charter schools. Libertarian journalist Nick Gillespie recorded a glowing podcast profile for Reason. There was a holiday weekend puff piece in The Hill. And this Monday, the Wall Street Journal praised Polis for standing up to the climate lobby.
All of these pieces have one aim: to make the progressive Democratic governor look as though he's not all that progressive—indeed, maybe he's a moderate or even a liberal with libertarian leanings, who'll keep the government off your back. I frequently hear out-of-state conservatives, hopeful for someone to pull the Democrats back from their current woke insanity, offer this description as their impression of Polis.
Those of us who've seen his governance here in Colorado up close and personal know better." Article Discussed on Today's Episode: https://www.newsweek.com/dont-fooledcolorado-governor-jared-polis-no-moderate-opinion-1715804 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I'm joined by retired Colorado State Senator Ted Harvey, who serves as the Chairman of the Committee to Defeat the President (StopJoe.com):
"Work in politics long enough, and you start overthinking it. Who’s the target audience? What’s the key talking point? How do you persuade him or her to support you?
In 2022, Republicans cannot fall into the trap of second-guessing themselves and overcomplicating the talking points. The path forward is simple. All signs point to a “red wave.” Every indicator shows President Biden floundering. His approval rating is stuck in the 30s. Just this week, an ABC News/Ipsos poll revealed only 28% of Americans support Mr. Biden’s handling of inflation.
Republicans are running against Mr. Biden — end of story. That is the answer to all questions. The blueprint is simple: Expose Mr. Biden for his litany of failures since January 2021 — drive the point home, again and again.
Why? Because Mr. Biden is the worst American president in decades." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've been focusing on messaging here on the program for a number of years, so I thought it good to bring back up the importance of messaging and why effective messaging has been one of the areas we libertarians have been failing the most.
"Once we start to build this case that libertarian solutions work, then more and more people just by the virtue of seeing it work, the market is going to show, hey, this alternative way of doing things works, and all of a sudden, more people will start to gravitate that way.
We see it in the marketplace right now. And I believe it will be an inevitable reaction as well when people start to see it working within their own communities. And going back to the whole emotions versus logic and reason.
Isn't it wild?
When you hear folks like Ben Shapiro, who will say very adamantly, that facts don't care about your feelings? I mean, sure, facts don't care about your feelings, but feelings sell. And that's where we're losing the battle. It's the battle on actually appealing to people's feelings, and appealing to people's emotions." Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, friend of the show Eric Brakey returns to outline why he's looking to reclaim his old state senate seat in Maine, and what issue he's looking to help address for your average voter in main.
"I've been knocking a lot of doors, talking with a lot of voters... I am running to reclaim my state senate seat that I held in Maine for I held it for two terms in the past from 14 to 18. And I left, I stepped aside from that to run for US Senate and Congress over two terms. Neither of those races worked out how we hope but we did get the message of freedom out there, which I think inspired a lot of new activists who are making a difference today.
But yeah, I am running to reclaim my old state senate seat. It's been great to reconnect with a lot of my former constituents. So hopefully, who will be my constituents once again after this election cycle and boy people are hurting out there.
Inflation is is is really hurting people. I mean, it's universal from truckers to soccer moms, I go door to door everyone is talking about the price of gas is concerned about how they're going to afford their next fill-up, and man, we're looking at, you know, gas station just down the road... For me, we're looking at $5.21 a gallon for the lowest grade gas.
Boy, it's it's all of the warnings about inflation and the out-of-control spending and the printing of trillions of dollars out of thin air that us libertarians have been warning about for decades. Now. It's all coming to a head. And nobody outside the liberty movement seems to have any idea how to talk about this. And, you know, it puts us in a great position where we are the ones with the answers, because we are the only ones who understand how we got here." Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Chris Widener joins the program to outline how you can influence others by being winsome... and hey, you may even win some!
"One of the phrases that I coined is that in order to win some, you must be winsome. And, and I really believe that. You can't be a jerk.
You know, sometimes, the Bible says to speak the truth in love. And I think that's a great merger, right? You want to speak the truth, but you want to do it in love.
Some people, they won't speak the truth. They say, "I'm not gonna say anything, everybody can do whatever they want to do, I'm not gonna say something's wrong..."
And they just love everybody.
Well, a society of people doesn't move forward if you just do that.
But then there's other people who just speak the truth. And they don't demonstrate the love, and people's look at them like, "Wow, well now you're kind of a jerk."
You know, speaking the truth in love means considering the other person's interests and doing it out of helping the other person. But sometimes you need to say something that they're not necessarily going to like.
And you know, there's an old biblical proverb that says, "wounds from a friend can be trusted." I want people to know that even though it might hurt, you can trust me that I'm saying it, because I believe that it's the right thing, and it'll help you out.
We need to be winsome, you know, the old Ronald Reagan, happy warrior kind of thing. And I just, I think that we would do far better if we could do that." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we're actually talking about abolishing the IRS! But we're doing it in a roundabout way! Listen as Steve Hayes from the Americans for Fair Taxation joins us to outline how the FAIRtax could actually help us abolish the IRS on our path of eliminating the income tax.
"We started working on this idea of eliminating the income tax, totally eliminating it, and replacing it with an excise tax - effectively what we had in the Constitution, which is a retail sales tax on the federal level.
It would be on new goods and purchases - and emphasize new - not used, but new goods and purchases, and retail services. If you go get your haircut, you get it if you're a lady and you get a manicure, those are retail, those are going to be subject to the fair tax. The fair tax rate is 23%.
The idea is that what you're going to do is get your entire paycheck. Because we fund the government differently. We don't fund it with an income tax and the payroll taxes like now - we fund it by giving you all of your money so that you're in charge of how much tax you pay. Learn more about your ad choices.

What if you could reach your target market on the exact issues they care about? That's the question I answered (amongst many others!) when I joined the Inventor Network's Virtual Summit last evening! Listen as I give my presentation, "Proven Sales & Marketing Strategies That WORK!" here on today's episode!
"The world has changed over the past few years. With the advent of COVID-19, and what we're doing today.
So not only has the world changed, but also, the world of sales and marketing has changed.
So it's important for us to not only make sure we're addressing what's changed, but also, as we're moving forward, make sure that the strategies we're implementing in the world of marketing and sales are keeping up with the times as well."

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I'm joined by Richard Blank (CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center) who give us some real, authentic means to enhance the sales experience for both the prospect AND the salesman.
"Well, since I grew up in the 70s, and 80s, I loved going to arcades - and I'm a retro gamer. I don't have a PlayStation or an Xbox. I'm an old-school gamer. And so my passion turned into an obsession.
And once I started making a little money and have the room here at the center, I started treasure hunting. And there are people down here with pinball machines and jukeboxes and a lot of toys that one man's trash is another man's treasure.
And so call me Oscar the Grouch, I'll be willing to drive a couple hours to find myself a classic rock cooler, or a pinball machine. And so most of these games are older than the agents here, I created a happy neutral environment so people can meet others from different departments that can let off steam - they can recharge batteries. And imagine an environment where you can hang out and play some games together.
And so, for me, I felt it was very important. It reduces attrition. When people are best friends with other people, they usually stay at a company."

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I'm joined by Hayward City Council candidate Michael Lema, who is seeking to bring liberty based solutions to Alameda County!
"I decided to run because, in March of 2020, I got out of the Marine Corps after serving five and a half years. And I got back in mid-March, March 15, and I went to go work my first job as a normal person again.
And they laid me off right after my first day.
They're like, "Hey, come back in two weeks, this whole COVID thing is serious. We'll call you when it's time to come back to work."
Two weeks rolled around, I call them back like, "Hey, I'm ready to go back to work.", and they say, "Like not yet, call us back in another two weeks."
So I call them back again in two weeks. And they're like, "You know what, we'll just call you." And so I was laid off for two months, and I couldn't take it anymore. So I got a new job, which is my current job, now as the lead journeyman electrician for a crane company. And that was going great. I got sent off to the field, though, to a national laboratory, where I'm at.
And my boss had given me an envelope with a paper in it saying I'm allowed to drive. And I was really confused. Why he said, "Well, in my county and in my state there was a statewide curfew that you were not allowed to drive after 6 pm."
And that was the tipping point for me."

Sex work occupies a legally gray space in Johannesburg, South Africa, and police attitudes toward it are inconsistent and largely unregulated. This results in both room for negotiation that can benefit sex workers and extreme precarity, where the security police provide can be taken away at a moment's notice.
There is growing concern about the appropriate role for police, if any, in society. Many people around the world are examining policing in response to incidents of violence within marginalized communities. In recent decades, police have taken on additional responsibilities as administrators of social welfare and adopters of community policing.
Yet, it remains an open debate whether policing and criminalization bring additional security and human rights protection, especially for historically stigmatized populations. Within this social context, Thusi examines the policing of sex work in Johannesburg, and whether a human rights approach to sex work should ever contribute to more policing, even if the policing is limited to sex workers’ clients.
Challenging discourses about sexuality and gender that inform its regulation, Thusi exposes the limitations of dominant feminist arguments regarding the legal treatment of sex work. This in-depth, historically informed ethnography illustrates the tension between enforcing a country's laws and protecting human rights. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Reno Reset is real! And with it, a new leadership at the helm of the third largest political party in the United States - The Libertarian Party.
After 4 years of building an infrastructure, the Mises Caucus has officially secured leadership roles across the LNC.
Now what? Well, that's why Stephen Decker and Jeremy Todd are joining me on today's episode! Both had the opportunity to attend the Libertarian Party national convention this past weekend, and with that, give us their take as to what we can expect next now that the Mises Caucus firmly has grasp of the party.
"If I'm giving advice to the Mises Caucus, is that alright, it's no longer about the Mises Caucus now. All right?
It is about the Libertarian Party, and you need to own that name, "The Libertarian Party".
It is no longer "this person joined the Mises Caucus!" but "that person has joined the Libertarian Party".
And so make us all one... help unify the party." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The customer is always right. Yep. We've all heard that saying many a time. And unfortunately, too many sales pros believe that this old way of thinking is actually true. You know, the idea that the rep who does whatever their prospect asks and wants is the one who kills it month after month. But is that really the case? Is the customer always right? Ask any seasoned sales professional, and they'll tell you that not only is this plain wrong, but in fact, it's an almost guaranteed way to sabotage any sale. Instead of playing the role of order-taker, we have to play the role of consultant. And with that, it requires us to be assertive. Now assertiveness itself can get a bad rap, as people can easily misinterpret assertiveness as pushy or rude. But what do we mean when we're talking about assertiveness? And what role does assertiveness play in helping you close more business? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Today's guest (Prof. Alex Salter) recently joined Phil Magness and wrote an article for The Hill outlining how bad economic ideas can have a frustratingly long shelf life. Amid surging consumer and producer prices, the apparent tradeoff between inflation and unemployment has become a hot topic.
There’s just one problem: the tradeoff doesn’t exist.
Economists have known this for 40 years. Policymakers and commentators asserting otherwise should get with the program.
"In policymaking circles - public economics commentators - (those sorts of positions), there persists this myth that there's a steady and exploitable trade-off between unemployment and inflation.
The idea is you can quote-unquote, "run the economy hot", in which case you're gonna get low unemployment, but you have to put up with high inflation.
Or if you want to try and bring down inflation, you have to put up with not-so-good labor markets, and higher unemployment.
In brief, this view is bogus. There's nothing to it.
There is absolutely no reason why you can't have strong labor markets, and low and stable inflation. You can even have strong labor markets with no inflation." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's episode, I joined Kyle Matovcik over on his program, "In Liberty and Health". We covered a TON of topics (like my weight loss, my move from Philly, and more!), but we spent a vast majority of our time focusing on fixing our old, broken libertarian messaging.
Are we up for the task?
Give a listen!
"The voter doesn't want to hear what it means to be a libertarian. Why? Because they don't care.
Why should they care? What does it mean to them - what being a libertarian means to us?
What they want to see is (and what we should be showing is), what do the libertarian ideas mean, for me, as it pertains to the political process. We have done a terrible job in being able to connect the dots. What we've done is we say, "look at this book, it's amazing. It's got all the amazing answers to life's problems. And it's all right here. And all you have to do is you have to read this book, and then another one, and another one, and another one."
And we good idea, people with death, instead of saying, "Hey, I noticed that while you were at the grocery store, today, you are complaining about how the grocery cart isn't as full as it used to be, when you're putting $100 worth of food in into the cart? Well, maybe we can talk about how we got here, right? I mean, would that be something you'd be open to discussing?", and then all of a sudden, you're talking about something that's real to them. And then you can start to position a libertarian solution." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And I truly believe that, because every issue that we face on the local issue, if you just expand that out, essentially, that's on the state level on the national level as well, with some exceptions.
But overall, people are concerned about the same things - how they're going to feed their kids, you know, are they going to raise their kids properly? How are they going to educate their kids? Are they going to have anything to leave their kids? Is it gonna be all taken from your property taxes or some other kind of government extortion program?

Does this sound familiar?
The looming threat of war hovers over the United States like a vulture circling its prey. A deadly virus is running through the population, forcing many to avoid highly populated areas. Furthermore, the nation is reaching a level of political division so severe that it threatens the stability of the country.
While you might think this is a description of the U.S. circa 2022, these were actually the circumstances that the nation found itself in at the beginning of the Adams administration.
This backdrop isn't all these two periods of history have in common, either. As Americans today are engaged in a great debate over how to handle the spread of misinformation, it would behoove us to reflect on how the first generation of Americans overcame this very issue.
Efforts to contain misinformation have become a growing point of contention in the United States as of late. Social media giants flag and deplatform individuals who spread allegedly false information at an increasing rate. Of course, who gets to distinguish between genuinely false information and areas with legitimate room for disagreement is where things get messy.

Inflation has been felt at the grocery store, at the gas pump, at the car dealership, traveling.... okay, pretty much everywhere.
And yes, that means that the home building industry has been hit just as hard. How hard has it been hit? Well, returning to the program today is David Belman (Belman Homes) who outlines how the supply chain issues, when coupled with the increase in interest rates and inflation, has been a perfect storm for the home building industry.
"When you put all the regulation that you have in, in our [home building] industry, right now, it's adding $94,000 to the cost of a new home due to local state and federal regulation.
And you talk about these young kids and they're going to work and trying to get money so they can buy a house and they can't afford it because the government's costing so much money before you even put a shovel on the ground.
So that's what I'm really passionate about is really trying to help the housing affordability issue because it'll help everybody because housing is something that everybody should have access to." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

" I'm fully vaccinated. I received my second dose back in September, but I got so sick from it to the point where I ended up hospitalized and continued to have something to this day.
And before getting the vaccine, I had no health issues. So when I got an email from my school, reminding me to get the booster vaccine, I sent out an email with my concerns, and my request for an exemption was denied.
They denied my hospital documents.
They denied a letter written by my doctor, you know, who's known me longer than administration of Union, where he stated it's ill-advised for me to receive the booster right now, and they denied that." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And they want to support businesses that make them proud to be an American. That's what people want to feel. And for us, you know, the goal is, let's capitalize on that.
Let's actually build that community with that mission at the forefront, especially for the small businesses and local communities.

Returning to the program today is Oliva Rondeau, who joins us to walk through this often difficult and delicate subject, and how we can best avoid the usual demonization.
"The answer lies in communities, how these communities take care of their pregnant women and pregnant teens who are in a tough situation, and how we view these pregnant women and pregnant teens and try to end the stigma.
Because people make mistakes, it takes two people, like... we're all adults here. So let's let's kind of end the, 'us versus them',

Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves.

"Libertarians need to get out of the hypothetical... like we are dealing with the real ramifications - ramifications of statism. And we have answers.
And we also have the diagnosis as to why we're in the position we're in. So you don't need to talk hypotheticals - like this is actually happening to people in their real lives.
And that's why it's such a fertile ground from which we can work, you know? Like, this is our opportunity - I really believe that this is the greatest opportunity in my lifetime, to try and help people. And if that's what you are motivated by, well, then you should wake up every day just roaring to go."

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I'm joined by Steve Harrison, author of "Can't Sell Won't Sell: Advertising, politics and culture wars. Why adland has stopped selling and started saving the world":
"The advertising industry has lost interest in selling. According to the IPA, we face "a crisis of effectiveness". And our politics are to blame. We're now so left-leaning, we're no longer willing to stoke capitalism's engine of growth. Instead, we've embraced a new raison d'etre: we're saving the world.
But how genuine is our commitment to social justice? Who's buying our purpose-driven campaigns? And what of the angry mainstream who are alienated by the agenda we're imposing upon them? Most urgently, as businesses close and millions of families face unemployment in the post-pandemic recession, will advertising rediscover its commercial purpose and help revive the free market?
Or will an out-of-touch industry double down on social purpose and drift further to the margins of British life? This is the choice we face, and it's one that adland cannot shirk."

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Tara Murphy (candidate for Branchburg Township Committee, NJ) joins the program to outline what issues she's focusing on during her candidacy, namely how she is taking on career politicians who have grown deaf to the needs and concerns of their constituents.
"I've lived in my town [Branchburg, NJ) for about 11 years. And more and more every year, there's more building and less open space in the town.
And we get a lot of flooding because of it. And this is usually brushed off by the current township administration.
So I'm running for township committee this year against two Republican incumbents prioritizing open space and freedom for residents over the overdevelopment - both commercial and residential in the town, which is causing flooding. The town has been run by Republicans for at least 25 years, maybe longer. And there are no term limits.
...last year, the mayor told me that businesses were more important than residents. In 2020, the township overturned a marijuana referendum, saying that the people did not know what they were voting for when they voted to legalize marijuana. The township also regularly disregards the master plan for building and grants variances very, very easily.
So that is why I'm running for township this year."

They hate each other so much that they are willing to do anything to suppress each other, including lying to the media - they're authoritarian bent is really coming to fruition.
Both parties now claim that the other is fraudulent, that others are cheating and that their presidential wins are not legitimate. Neither party cares about the Constitution anymore. And, and that comes to bear in people's lives in very real ways.

"So, the story brand framework, steps follow the basic concept of a hero meeting a guide. First, the customer has a problem that needs solved. And they're introduced to a guide. And that guide gives them a plan or a solution, and calls them to action, where they either achieved success, and how they can ultimately avoid failure.
So in the book, it talks about using this method in business and marketing your product.
But as I started to develop this concept, while implemented, implementing it in my own business, I was like, wow, candidates could really use this."

Today's episode comes from April 2020, when economist Dan Mitchell joined the program and outlined exactly what would transpire (and ultimately has transpired) over the past two years of COVID mandates and lockdowns.
[ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES] As weeks go by with the economy stuck on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many economists are starting to sound the alarm that the impact of our economy screeching to a halt could cause as much, if not more long-term death and prolonged hardship than the virus itself.
Dan J. Mitchell, a libertarian economist with a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University and founder for the Center for American Prosperity is amongst those economists raising his voice in concern. Mitchell joins The Brian Nichols Show today to discuss one of his more recent articles that discusses that very concern, titled, "The Temporary Tradeoff Between Health Outcomes and Economic Outcomes".
Listen as we discuss his article and then dig deeper into the dangers of a stagnant economy as it pertains to both the economic and physical health of the nation and more!

And he knows that there is a yearning for normalcy. And people don't want a "New World Order" - people just want the order of the world that they already have.
So he sees that, and he calls himself a free speech solutionist. And I see him listening to the people and doing you know, he does a lot of polls, for instance. And he's got such a big following that they're not getting trolled, so he listens to the people - he takes consensus.
And I believe we're going to see him doing a lot of what the people who are using his platform want to see done. " Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hollywood and the left ostracize celebrities that sort of have these right-leaning tendencies hit for their conservative belief systems. And now you have these two people (Herschel Walker & Dr. Oz) who are now running as Republicans with "R"s next to their name on ballots And I think the shift within the Republican Party's direction is a good thing, because you're kind of making people come out unashamed to be with conservatives anymore."

"And this is a thing in theory constraints... As you have a system and you need to understand the system. What you want to understand is, what is the core problem, or the constraints of the system. And all the rest are just undesirable effects of that a fundamental constraint, or fundamental core problem. Okay, let's start listing all the undesirable effects that we see in our daily life dealing with economics.
And so the starting point is to list those sets of symptoms. And then, well, the end result, if we're able to find the causality between each of those symptoms, should be the core problem.

"You know, the fight for the Second Amendment is a fight. It's an ongoing fight.
And so we have to properly watch our opponent telegraphing their moves and respond to them. So this rule does not ban you from making your own good at home - doesn't ban anything to do with 3D printing - what it is trying to do is to make a legal nightmare for people who want to help you do that for people who want to sell you the products....the incomplete receivers, the completion jigs and stuff like that.
That's what they're trying to get at with this rule. It does not actually touch home building.

How do we actually change hearts and minds? Is it by showing people how right we are? Do we have to show them all of our principles and ideas to get them interested in the ideas of liberty?
Or rather, is it more effective to invest in utilizing proven sales and marketing skills that WIN in the world of business, and bring them to the world of politics?

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I'm joined by Hannah Cox and Brad Polumbo to discuss Elon Musk potentially buying Twitter, and why the elites have been reacting like it's "the end of the world".
"I just I find it funny because, you know, for a long time when people on the right complained about Twitter, they were told it's a private company, they can do whatever they want by liberals and by the left. And to be clear, people like him, and I agreed with them, right. But now all of a sudden, they're very mad about what might happen with a private company. And so really, it's like libertarians are over here on an island actually holding this consistent belief." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Focus on those who are in your target market, and then focus on the issues they care about.
That's the theme of today's Morning Sales Huddle on The Brian Nichols Show!
"This is where we've missed so badly over the past few years, - we have in, our heads - who our ideal customer is based on what we want them to be,
But not who they actually are.
So if you want to actually meet people where they're at on the issues they care about, well, good, because that's going to help lead to positive success.
But if you're focused on just talking about the things that you want them to care about, and that's the only thing that you focus on, well, congratulations, you'll be speaking to a party of one; and that will be you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Lewis Black (CEO of Almonty Industries) returns to the program to discuss inflation, supply chain issues, and semiconductor shortage:
"The demand for semiconductors through the COVID lockdown was quite unexpected. Obviously, there was an enormous demand for consumer goods, phones, computers, so we put a huge sort of drag on the sector.
Then we couple that with increasing demand across the board, as we've reopened, we've got a lack of raw materials to actually produce them. And then, just to really put the icing on the cake, this push towards a greener future has put a dramatic effect on the supply chain for semiconductors.
So for instance, a normal regular gasoline vehicle has somewhere in the region of 800 to 1000 semiconductors. An EV has more than double that. So if you're looking to ultimately replace gasoline vehicles with EVs, you'll know where you're gonna need double the number of semiconductors to make that happen.
And this just doesn't exist - that capacity... that outputs - does not exist currently." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
"The best way to combat real disinformation is not gate-keeping and algorithmic censorship. It’s asking tough questions and having real conversations."
On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Arthur Long of The Chicago Thinker joins the program to discuss the “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference and how The Chicago Thinker smoked some of "the most trusted names in news".
From The Chicago Thinker: "This week, the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) and The Atlantic magazine hosted a “Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy” conference, and we have to hand it to IOP Director David Axlerod for bringing in true experts on the subject. The conference featured some of America’s greatest purveyors of disinformation, such as Barack Obama, Brian Stelter, Anne Applebaum, and a few token conservatives, including Jonah Goldberg and Adam Kinzinger. The media, government, and academia elites speaking at the conference weren’t expecting to be challenged as they self-righteously spewed more lies—but our team at the Chicago Thinker was prepared to hold them accountable. Student journalists from the Chicago Thinker respectfully listened, asked honest questions, and reported. Our efforts soon went viral, garnering millions of views on social media. We successfully turned the IOP’s “Disinformation Conference” on its head and sparked a national conversation about the corporate media’s disinformation. If this week has taught us anything, it’s that the regime media is incredibly fragile. If a couple hard-hitting questions from college students can rattle the elites to such a degree, just think what would happen if our peers at other universities follow our lead. Here’s how we smoked some of America’s most corrupt, partisan liars."

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show with guest Kerry McDonald, Senior Education Fellor from FEE (the Foundation for Economic Education):
"I mean there's a lot we could dwell on in terms of what is negatively happening in education. But I think that there are a lot of good things happening. Actually, as difficult and devastating as the pandemic response has been over the past couple of years, the real upshot is that parents have been put in charge of their children's education in ways that were unimaginable pre-2020.
Not only beginning in 2020, with school closures and recognizing the power and influence of teachers unions, and keeping schools closed influencing CDC policy, which we saw last year, I think it's really just opened a lot of parents' eyes. And they've been more interested and curious about various other education options for their children.
So we've seen not only kind of record rates of parents removing their children from assigned district schools for homeschooling, creating pandemic pods - that in many cases have now turned into full-fledged micro-schools - but we've also seen tremendous support for school choice policies that enable education funding to follow students instead of going to these bureaucratic school systems that are increasingly unresponsive to parent needs.
So there's a lot we could say about the negative aspects of American education today, but I think there are tremendous positives as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The problem isn't the state. The problem is the government. The government is so oppressive. It literally breaks up families.

And we're just kind of experiencing meteoric growth moving upwards and onwards, spreading the values of liberty across the world. Our mission is to educate, develop and empower the next generation of leaders for liberty. And we're different from other student groups in the sense that we are truly decentralized and bottom-up.

“I fear the country I love is becoming like the country I left.”
Lily Tang Williams was a law school assistant professor at Fudan University, Shanghai, China who immigrated to America and became an entrepreneur and an educator. Born to illiterate working-class parents in China’s western Sichuan province just before Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Lily Tang Williams grew up experiencing extremely poor living conditions, food rationing, social chaos, and Communist indoctrination. In 1988, Lily Tang Williams decided to study in the U.S., leaving her position with only $100 in her pocket and $1200 in debt to her American sponsor, a Fulbright professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Though she could not speak English fluently she was determined to achieve success in this country, earning a Master’s degree in Administration and Planning from the School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin.
Is the United States quickly becoming more like the communist state she fled? And if so, how did it get so bad, so fast?

Jacob Beckley joined us on the program recently to discuss how his organization, The Beckley Foundation, is leading the fight against pediatric cancer by utilizing the CURE token.
This revolutionary way of funding healthcare has changed the way research is funded.
Well, today, Jacob returns to the program, but this time, he brings a friend... Jim Nasr, tech innovator and CEO of Acoer, which is an award-winning tech firm specializing in user-friendly blockchain development.
Today, they help outline the technical structuring and architecture of the CURE Chain.
"Supporting childhood cancer research, patients and their families is a compassionate effort, and I'm pleased we are able to make even a small difference", says Beckley, "but it's the tip of an iceberg fraught with underlying problems in an industry disinterested in change". He goes on to describe two fundamental healthcare industry problems at opposite ends of the delivery system.
"Researchers need to share data, every day, real-time, in an anonymous, secure system. COVID vaccines are an example of the speed and acuity that can be brought to bear through real-time collaboration. That same process needs to be replicated every day, in every way, on every research project. By the time professional papers are published and peer-reviewed, it's already old news". At the other end of the spectrum Beckley talks about his primary goal: patient access. "
All the medical research, innovation and development in the world is worthless if patients are unable to access it due to economics or geography. Healthcare access should not be limited to the wealthy, the insured, or the geographically well located. Healing is for everyone." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joining the program today is Steve DelBianco (President and CEO for NetChoice), where we discuss some of the common misconceptions regarding "Big Tech Censorship", plus how repealing Section 230 is nothing more than a red herring when it comes to policy.
NetChoice is leading lawsuits in Texas and Florida -- which introduced legislation to prevent social media companies from monitoring content on their platforms -- to block these bills to protect free speech and keep government out of private businesses’ decisions.
Legislation like this empowers state governments to police and control speech online, violating the First Amendment rights of online businesses. These bills trample the First Amendment by allowing the government to force private businesses to host speech they’d otherwise remove or restrict. Internet platforms have a First Amendment protection to curate content and decide whether to host specific kinds of speech.
NPR-ization of the Internet: Proponents of these laws claim they will protect free expression and free enterprise when they actually move us closer to state-run media and state-run internet. This is exactly why our Founders created the First Amendment—to protect us from the government telling us what we can and cannot say.
Unintended Consequences: The law would prohibit social media companies from moderating just about any content — as the court noted. That means social media platforms would be compelled to host hate speech, violent content, X-rated content, etc. With so much inappropriate content and spam, platforms would lose their value to users, especially given that the law prohibits them from curating (organizing) content in certain ways.
In addition to being unconstitutional, these bills are short-sighted: laws like this may be appealing to those frustrated by some social media companies blocking some views and content, but they certainly backfire.
Slippery Slope: The Constitution prohibits federal and state governments, not private actors, from restricting Americans’ right to free expression. If the government can force private internet platforms to host certain speech, it’s a short stop before that’s applied to Christian bakers who don’t want to bake custom cakes for same-sex marriages or pro-BLM bakers who don’t want to bake custom cookies for the police union’s holiday party.
Private businesses can’t become a vessel for the government’s preferred messaging or else we risk the First Amendment’s entire purpose: to protect private Americans’ and private businesses’ rights to think freely, speak freely, associate freely, and align their actions with their beliefs as they see fit. Internet platforms have a First Amendment right to curate content and decide whether to host specific kinds of speech.
Ripple Effects: These unconstitutional laws threaten all our First Amendment freedoms. If we accept the basic premise that a majority can enact a law that infringes the rights of the minority (or alternatively, if a minority can infringe the rights of the majority), we’re in deep trouble. Bottomline: Once you accept gov’t compelled speech in the social media context, it’ll just be a matter of time before there’s public pressure (whether from the majority or minority) to force another industry to do the same in another context. For example, Democrats could force oil and gas companies to disclose “facts” about climate change.

The deaths at the hands of police of George Floyd, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, and other Black Americans spurred national outrage—but now what?
To make progress on the complex issues surrounding race and policing, Americans must begin a conversation rooted in mutual respect and in facts. Laying the groundwork for productive engagement,
Dr. Will Moravits joins the program today and details how police officers are trained in the use of force and the choices they confront. In his new book, "The Blue Divide", Moravits analyzes the past decade’s highest-profile cases of police use of force against people of color and looks more broadly at the criminal justice system, use of force, and the tragic disconnection between police officers and the communities of color they are sworn to protect.
A former police officer, Moravits brings a uniquely informed, mutually sympathetic point of view that can be heard by everyone who has an opinion about American policing—good, bad, or unsure about what to do to ensure safety and justice for all.

Time and beauty are two of our most visceral perceptions. Yet, their nature is seldom questioned.
In this groundbreaking new work, Dr. Adrian Bejan -- a true 'original' among physicists -- explains, in a scholarly yet colorful style, the scientific basis for the perception of time and beauty.
Organized into three main ideas, the book begins first with the perception of time. The author expounds on why we feel that time flies faster as we get older. Perceived time, also called 'mind time, ' is different from clock time. In this context, time is another word for 'perceived change'.
Next, readers will discover that beauty is appealing because beautifully-shaped images are scanned faster by two eyes. To observe our immediate surroundings and to understand them faster is highly advantageous to survival; hence, there is an underlying evolutionary advantage to our discernment for ideal ratios, shapes, and beauty at large. Finally, time and beauty are jointly understood to explain why the global pandemic had decelerated our mind time. This understanding arms us with techniques to slow down our mind time (which accelerates with age), and to create the conditions for living longer and more creatively. Scientists may have contemplated aspects of time and beauty separately. In contrast, the author submits an original and rewarding approach to understanding them together. In the process, key questions to our cognition are answered.
Why does the mind 'try' to make sense of a new mental image? Why is there a natural tendency to organize a new input and mentally position it among past perceptions? Through physics, the book offers a general answer: to empower the individual with speed and clarity of thought, understanding, decision-making and movement.
The same answer holds for the other disparate perceptions illustrated in this book, from time and beauty to ideas, message, shape, perspective, art, science, illusions, and dreams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For those influenced by our recovery-centered culture for decades – which includes just about everyone in America today – The Freedom Model opens your eyes to the truth that the conventional view of addiction is patently false and addiction is really just another word for habits based on learned preferences. Addiction is a cultural construct based on a host of myths, junk-science, misinformation, fear, lies, and shaming. All of this is harmful to any individual’s belief that they have the ability to change their habits for the better. The Freedom Model rejects these myths, damaging rhetoric, and tactics meant to coerce and create forced abstinence in the user. The Freedom Model helps each person bring their innate power of choice back front and center by challenging all of the pillars of addiction myths our society has constructed.
Today, Mark Scheerenm, Chairman of Baldwin Research Institute and author of The Freedom Model for Addictions joins the program to show how embracing freedom and autonomy over one's self can help us shatter our old, outdated, recovery-centered culture in lieu of real results.

If we started from scratch, what would genuinely free business and living environments look like?
At Próspera, they're doing their best to find out.
Joel Bomgar (President) joins the program to promote Próspera: a new, private special economic zone taking shape on the island of Roatan in Honduras – and it’s arguably the most libertarian business and living environment in the world.
They’ve taken the lessons and best practices from other special economic zones and created something new under the sun: * A business environment with the flexibility to lower costs, spur innovation and speed time to market by eliminating layers of regulation and cronyism. Próspera can create its own regulatory and tax structures; businesses can “import” their preferred regulatory frameworks from scores of countries, or propose entirely new structures. * A community of residents, e-residents and workers with some of the strongest human rights and legal protections in the world. (Residents have a literal legal contract with the government, their rights fully enforceable.) * A framework for governance as a service applicable to any nation that wants to jump-start investment and give citizens a faster track to prosperity.

Pratik Chougule believes we need to be realistic vs. idealistic when talking about foreign policy. This THROWBACK episode brings us to a world where the United States and Iran were facing growing tensions and some in the neocon world to start beating the war drums.
Original Show Notes: With commentators proclaiming that World War III is just around the corner due to increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, the United States' foreign policy is at the forefront of the national conversation. With conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro singing the praises of President Trump's more hawkish approach to the increasing tensions with Iran (which Shapiro has seemingly toned down in recent days), I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a former self-described "neocon" who ended up becoming a "foreign policy realist" on the show to discuss their own personal growth and change of mindset.
Joining the show is Pratik Chougule. Chougule is a researcher at Boston College's Center for International Higher Education, where he is writing a book about American universities in the greater Middle East. He was previously an executive editor at The American Conservative and managing editor at The National Interest. During the 2016 election cycle, Chougule served as policy coordinator on the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. From 2008-2009, Chougule was a George W. Bush appointee at the State Department in the Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Chougule graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University and holds a JD from Yale Law School.
Listen as Chougule discusses his take on foreign policy, his critiques of the traditional neocon/hawkish foreign policy, the rising tensions of Iran, and finally his perspective of where the world stands after the 2020 election with regards to foreign relations and policy.

On this THROWBACK episode, I'm joined by good friend, Elain Joan! Listen as we outline timeless truths in the worlds of sales, politics, and campaigning.
ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
It's hard to imagine, but we're just 10 months or so away from the 2020 election. Wild, isn't it? With the Democratic Debates seemingly taking the national conversation towards the brink of outright socialism, and Trump deciding whether or not to start World War III (I'm kidding of course... right?), it seems that most Americans are searching for a candidate that they can support that, well, isn't as crazy as everyone else.
It's why candidates like Mike Bloomberg have essentially decided to spend a substantial fortune on trying to win the presidency, and why the Libertarian Party has an absolutely epic opportunity to win over some hearts and minds by being the adult in the room.
But the real question for the Libertarian Party is, well, will the be the adults in the room?
That's why I'm joined today by Elaine Joan, who is an independent campaign consultant and widely known political commentator, "Libertarian Redhead", who helps me break down some of the problems in Libertarian candidacies past, how Libertarian campaigns can catch on in the future, and which candidates seeking the Libertarian Party nomination can lead the LP to the most success in 2020
If you're considering running for elected office as a Libertarian, then please consider this as a complimentary consulting session between two seasoned political veterans (tips are appreciated in the form of shares, reviews, and Patreon support).
Bio: Elaine Joan is an independent campaign consultant and political commentator; you may know her as Libertarian Redhead on Facebook and Twitter. She has previously been a Libertarian Party of Tennessee Executive Committee member. She has a track record for lobbying legislative issues like 3rd party ballot access, ending the death penalty, and civil asset forfeiture. In 2018 she took a position as the Data Director for Elect Liberty PAC during the midterm elections in New Mexico and she is currently working with Voice for America PAC in Indianapolis.

On this THROWBACK episode, I play Nostradamus and outline how, in January 2020, how important it would be for us to focus on taking on those sometimes difficult and, dare I say it, impossible conversations.
ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
2020 will certainly present its share of challenges. Among them being that of having tough discussions with our friends, family, coworkers, etc... on issues that are politically and emotionally charged.
To start off the year, I wanted to take a second and go solo to discuss a phenomenal book I've been reading, "How to Have Impossible Conversation: A Very Practical Guide" by Peter Boghossian, where Boghossian outlines strategies to bring people who disagree into useful, productive engagement with one another.
Discussed today are some tools I've used (unintentionally, at that!) from the book, and some real-life examples of me using them both in my personal life and on the show with folks who have vastly disagreements with your favorite host.
And finally, as I mentioned at the close of the show, if you're interested in sharing your story of utilizing some of these techniques yourself, email me at brian@briannicholsshow.com or tag me on social media (@BNicholsLiberty both on Twitter and on Facebook).

This THROWBACK episode features Michael Torres discussing how school choice can help parents get the quality education their children deserve.
ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
Our old, exclusionary, geographically-based education system is not educating children the way it promises to. Parents have been fighting for the ability to get their kids into schools that don’t constantly fail them decade after decade, only to be denied by the public education establishment, and the various policies promoted by the school choice movement give parents autonomy over their children’s education.
Joining The Brian Nichols Show today is Michael Torres from the Commonwealth Foundation. Michael is the Senior Communications Office over at the Commonwealth Foundation and joins the show to help dispel some myths regarding school choice and to speak to the value that school choice has in helping further our youths' education.

Okay, let's try this- Did you know there's not a single person on Earth who has the skills and knowledge to make something as deceptively simple as a cheese pizza?

This THROWBACK episode features our good friend, Remso Martinez, discussing his phenomenal book, "How to Succeed in Politics [and Other Forms of Devil Worship]".
This book will make a great gift to any politico in your life!
ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
Two men separated by time embark on parallel paths to succeed in the blood sport that is professional politics. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a young political operative named Art Brown finds himself about to sit at the right hand of power in Washington D.C only to end up falling out of the insider-circles he spent years trying to find acceptance in.
The other man would start his political path as one of the most progressive statesmen in the south, only to evolve into the villain of the civil rights movement- George C. Wallace.
Filled with political intrigue and suspense that spans among generations, along with that classic gonzo humor Remso W. Martinez has become known for, “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)” is a dark comedy that will force you to ask whether success at all costs is worth losing your humanity in the process.
Today's episode features all that and more, as we are once again joined by Remso to discuss his newest book, "How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)"!

Is Shane Hazel playing spoiler in Georgia in running as a Libertarian? Or are the Republicans just running terrible candidates that aren't focusing on the issues their voters care about, so they're looking elsewhere?
One Georgian GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to think it's the latter, which is why she shot out a tweet thread raising the alarm on the rise of one Shane Hazel.
So, naturally, I asked Shane to return to the program to address those questions head-on, in another fun-filled episode of The Brian Nichols Show!
Shane Hazel: "...let's just say for the sake of argument, I did cost the Republicans the [Georgia Senate] election, man, you better, as Republicans, you have to be extremely thankful look at what's going on in DC right now. With the ridiculous amounts of spending with the authoritarian overreach with you know, what was for Pelosi up there with the National Guard guarding Congress. Like, when when you see all of this and you go, man, the Republicans aren't in control right now. They are not in control in the Senate. They're not in control in the House. They're not in control the White House. Well, you're welcome. You're welcome. If I if I'm to blame for that you get as Republicans, you get to blame all of this on Democrats."

How does someone find themselves drifting away from leftism, and instead towards libertarianism?
That's the theme of today's THROWBACK episode, where I was joined by the ever-amazing Steffi (Cole) Petersen!
Original Show Notes:
I dare say that most of us know folks within the libertarian movement who came from the more conservative side of things, heck, with yours truly being one of them. But those who ventured to libertarianism from the left are much fewer in our ranks, despite them sharing our many of our values. Today's guest is one of those unicorns who went from leftist to libertarian, and I wanted to have her on my show to discuss her conversion as she started going down the libertarian rabbit hole; the one and only Steffi Cole. Listen as Seffi talks about her path to libertarianism from the left, her involvement in libertarian politics and political campaigns (like Austin Petersen's US Senate campaign), and more! Bio: Steffi was born and raised in Michigan and "has been a passionate, hardworking nerd ever since she was little". After learning about economics and watching lots of videos about government in 2009, she found herself in the Tea Party movement. She became a huge fan of Ron Paul during his 2012 Presidential campaign. In 2017-2018, she volunteered doing social media, graphic design, and volunteer training for the Austin Petersen for US Senate campaign. She is currently a YouTuber, Brand Ambassador for 1776 United, and liberty promoter for products, people, and ideas. She is on a journey to learn as much as she can about history, government, and the Constitution!

Marc Clair: "I think that, in many ways, politics was like still like a hobby. To me, it was just a fun thing to talk about. Now, I can go to Libertarian Party conventions and hang out with like-minded people, and we can go party afterwards to hang out on Bourbon Street, we can make jokes about Mises and Rothbard. And we all get it and it's not weird. It's fun people you can get along with. And that's kind of like how I took it... and the candidates who run in the LP... we know they're not going to win. And they know, they come on my show, and I invite them on, they tell me, they're not going to win. And we all agree they're not going to win. And it's all fun, it's all well and good. But now, after the last year, this isn't a game anymore. This is actually affecting everybody's life now. No one can really say they're not affected by this stuff at this point."

Today, we're swinging back to August of 2019 with Aaron Hamlin from The Center For Election Science, who shows us how changing the way we vote can help us fix our broken voting system!
Original Show Notes:
"My vote just doesn't matter..." Have you heard this before? Or perhaps have you caught yourself saying that exact same phrase? Don't worry, you're not alone.
As a matter of fact, I've said as much myself. With the "choose-one" voting system, many voters feel that their votes simply don't matter in today's electoral system. That's where today's guest, Aaron Hamlin, and the organization he co-founded, "The Center for Election Science", comes into play.
See, Aaron and his team have been on a mission to help change the way that American voters look at the electoral system by helping promote and institute alternative voting methods, like that of the "approval voting", can help third-party and independent candidates gain momentum, eliminate the "spoiler effect", and actually win elections!
Listen to learn how The Center for Election Science has been promoting approval voting, some wins they've tallied up, and the future prospects of changing our outdated voting system!
Aaron's Bio: Aaron Hamlin is the executive director and co-founder of The Center for Election Science. He’s been featured as an electoral systems expert on MSNBC.com, NPR, Free Speech TV, Inside Philanthropy, 80K Hours, and Popular Mechanics, and has given talks across the country on voting methods. He’s written for Deadspin, USA Today Magazine, Independent Voter Network, and others.

Original show notes from July 2019:
Man, I sure missed you all last week while I was on vacation! But thankfully, we're back on track with our regularly scheduled programming, as this week I am joined by Caleb Shumate! Caleb is a passionate advocate for liberty and storyteller with a deep appreciation of history. Today he joins the show to discuss one of his more recent articles over at The Libertarian Republic- “Colt Made Me Equal”: A Disabled Libertarian’s Case For Gun Ownership. Listen as Caleb explains the importance of gun ownership, especially for those individuals who may be at a physical disadvantage when compared to those who might seek to cause them harm. We also touch on Caleb's experience as someone with cerebral palsy and how despite his physical limitations, he has found himself rejecting the concepts of government handouts and has embraced libertarianism and constitutional conservatism.

Stuart (LibertyDownUnder): "I see this over the place... see certain people stopping them [pro-liberty activists) from speaking out. We've had police coming to people's houses door-knocking for memes that they've made online. In Melbourne, we had the police who went to the house of a woman who was pregnant, because she shared one post on Facebook about the protests. People being locked up, a guy who got eight months behind bars, who ran Instagram account that was anti-lockdown. He got eight months behind bars because of it. When we had the treaty protests, Facebook stopped the live streams. So you couldn't even do live streams to show what's happening on the ground. At the same time, the Victorian police got a no-fly order over Melbourne. So the civilian helicopters couldn't fly over it and get aerial shots of having the protests were. So it's their collaboration by the media outlets, social media and the police."
Today, Stuart from LibertyDownUnder joins the program to highlight what is happening in Australia during an era of COVID.

Congressman Amash joined The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his tenure in Congress, the principles that he leans on when crafting legislation, the rationale behind his public statements regarding President Trump's "impeachable offenses", and the manner in which populism and nationalism have taken over the Republican Party in an era of Trump.
Original Show Notes:
Welcome to The Brian Nichols Show! For you first time listeners, I am your humble host, Brian Nichols, and here at The Brian Nichols Show, our goal is to educate, enlighten, and inform. Today is no exception, as I am joined by Congressman Justin Amash. Congressman Amash has been making headlines as of late, with his being the first Republican in Congress to assert that President Trump committed potentially impeachable offenses in regards to his actions and potential obstruction of justice as it relates to the Mueller Investigation. Congressman Amash joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his tenure in Congress, the principles that he leans on when crafting legislation, the rationale behind his public statements regarding President Trump's "impeachable offenses", and the manner in which populism and nationalism have taken over the Republican Party in an era of Trump. Later, we discuss Congressman Amash's fierce opposition to the surveillance state, focusing on his staunch opposition to the Patriot Act, FISA, and his recent attempts to reign in FISA Section 702, which would have helped put a stop to warrantless FISA surveillance. We conclude our conversation by addressing the elephant (or porcupine?) in the room... Will Congressman Amash seek to fight President Trump at the ballot box in 2020 by primarying Trump as a Republican, or rather as the top of the Libertarian Party ticket?

Eric Brakey from Free America Now returns to the program to discuss the blue-collar departure from the Democratic Party, women having to sign up for the draft(!?), and Young American's for Liberty signing up 100,000 college liberty activists!
Eric Brakey: "This is a shift that has been taking place slowly over a long period of time, but has really accelerated to the point where you look at the US Senate... I think that Joe Manchin is perhaps one of the most interesting people of the moment because he is the last blue dog Democrat in that entire body... ...He is a conservative Democrat, not as conservative as I'd like, certainly, but he's been the lone voice there... In 1992, West Virginia, voted for Bill Clinton by 13 percentage points. Fast forward to 2016; they voted against Hillary Clinton and for Donald Trump by 40 percentage points. So we're talking about literally a shift of over a majority of the voting population there. So it has shifted, hard red. And why is that?"

Original Show Notes from June 2019:
The government stinks. I know it. You know it. We all know it. So, instead of sending your hard earned money to the government every year to do "societal good", why not send it to nonprofits who actually, ya know, know what they're doing and do it well? That's where "We Do Better" comes into play.
We Do Better seeks to promote the freedom and well-being of all Americans by maximizing the quality and accessibility of public services and accountability in their provision. We Do Better is one of the leaders in advocating for charitable credits in cities, counties, states, and nationwide that allow taxpayers to direct a portion of their taxes to organizations that meet human needs in their communities. Listen as Rick Rivkin (part of We Do Better's national team) joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss how easy it is to become an advocate of We Do Better's mission.
Later, Rick discusses some of the wins that We Do Better has under their belt, different means of grassroots outreach that We Do Better has taken advantage of, and how easy it is for anyone to have their tax dollars go towards charities they care about rather than go to our inefficient government.

We Need To Talk About The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal.
Original Show Notes From 2018: Wow! What a year! This will be the final episode of The Brian Nichols Show for 2018! But don't you worry, I have a special episode in store for you next week from my appearance on a different podcast... a podcast hosted by a dear friend of The Brian Nichols Show.
To wrap up the 2018 season of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research! Max is an economist over AIER and has holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.
Max joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss one of his latest pieces from AIER- "The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal". With the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her promoting of the "Green New Deal", Max took an economist's look at the topic to see the true economic consequences of passing a "Green New Deal" versus letting the market decide what the best solution would be.

Show Notes From Original Episode: On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Michael T. Hutchins, author of Irreconcilable Politics: Our Rights Under a Just Government. Michael was trained as an economist and has over thirty years of experience in finance. Much of his career was in investment banking at Salomon Brothers and UBS. He is currently the executive vice president at Freddie Mac, responsible for the investments and capital markets division. Hutchins earned his PhD in economics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
In Irreconcilable Politics, Michael explores successful models in which differing political views exist yet do not impinge on agreements being reached, and also dissects the dynamics of modern social decision-making.
Listen as we discuss the theory of “collectivity,” needed reform to government structure, and modern social decision-making in the 21st century. Later, we discuss the concepts of voluntary government and the interrelationship between political ideology and centralized governmental decisions.
We conclude by taking a closer look at collective rules, services, and decisions, and why voting, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are not in and of themselves sufficient control rights for citizens of a diverse country like the United States and discuss how our divided nation struggling to reach political agreement and how the structure of the federal and state governments interfere with this effort.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We've heard that phrase since elementary school as we learned about our nation's founding. The ideas of liberty are intoxicating for those empathetic to the ideas of individual rights, however, is liberty our end goal?
Returning to the program is Larry Sharpe who argues that liberty is simply a means to an end, would that end goal being that of accomplishing a subjective happiness based on the ability to reach that happiness individually.
"When I know I am unhappy, or I am not doing the right thing, all my problems aren't solved, it's a whole lot easier for me to go and go, I'm gonna be the savior of everything else. Because then if my life begins to collapse, I can claim martyrdom. And it's a common thing people do right now I can't help myself out, cuz I got to protect the whales, or the children or the planet or the insert thing here. Or I've got to stop the evil leftists or the evil righties or whatever, I've got to stop, right, I do that instead. And I'm gonna help myself out."

What is empathy?
"Empathy is as simple as two things...
You've got to understand about empathy. Number one, empathy is really just curiosity; it is a desire to understand and seek out.
The second part of empathy is tha you are not empathetic towards positions or belief systems - you are empathetic towards people.
And so empathy is something that you show to a person. And it is essentially a curiosity about that person showing genuine interest and curiosity in that person." - Jeremy Todd

Many people are turning away from conventional power, and opting for sustainable solutions. Nuclear power plants may not be spiking headlines, but they are being eyed as a viable option for the future.
The future of nuclear energy production is in strong hands because unlike many other aspects of life, nuclear power is an option that will ALWAYS be needed.
Mark Schneider joins the program to help show how the advancements in nuclear energy have created solutions that answer the questions of climate change, energy independence, and planetary prosperity.
But what about the common objections we hear about nuclear energy?
Are nuclear power plants safe? Are nuclear power plants efficient? Are nuclear power plants bad for the environment? Can nuclear waste be recycled?
Mark answers and overcomes all those objections (and more) on today's information-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show!

"Follow the Science!"
Raise your hand if you've heard that at least once over the past year and a half. Yes, I see 99.9% of you raising your hands.
How many of you have been told that our ideas of freedom are "dangerous"? I have, by some of my oldest friends.
Well, in today's episode, not only should you feel vindicated, but you can proudly state that Freedom is Nature - that Freedom is Science - as today I am joined by J.A. Jones Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Adrian Bejan.
Dr. Bejan was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal 2018 and the Humboldt Research Award 2019. His research covers engineering science and applied physics: thermodynamics, heat transfer, convection, design, and evolution in nature. He is ranked among the top 0.01% of the most cited and impactful world scientists (and top 10 in Engineering worldwide) in the 2019 citations impact database created by Stanford University’s John Ioannidis, in PLoS Biology.
He is the author of 30 books and 685 peer-referred articles. His h-index is 101 with 79,000 citations on Google Scholar. He received 18 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries.
Dr. Bejan is most noted for his contributions to modern thermodynamics and the development of "constructal law."
Dr. Bejan explains today how constructal law not only validates the "it just makes sense" solutions that liberty provides, but scientifically backs it as the necessary component for nature to progress.

Features versus benefits.
This is the great battle that has been waging on for over a generation at this point within the greater libertarian movement.
On one side, you have the features folks… those who are focused on educating and good-ideaing their target prospects to death.
Then, there are the sales folks. Those folks are the ones who focus on actually selling. And we don't do that by talking about features all day long, but rather the benefits of those features and problems that they solve.
Sales professional Jeremy Todd returns to the program to help outline how the libertarian movement can stop focusing on features and specs that nobody really cares about, and to start meeting people where they're at, solving their problems, and offering real solutions that yield a tangible benefit.

Towards the tail end of summer, I had a viral tweet that was retweeted by Rob Schneider that highlighted the rampant inflation taking place, particularly as it pertains to the impact on the building and greater construction industry.
Well, today's guest just happens to be the original author of that post from over on Facebook, and is one owner of a Belman Homes and host of The Home Building Hero Podcast, David Belman!
Listen as we discuss how despite the focus having shifted away from the skyrocketing prices increasing construction costs, the very real implications of government policy are still rearing their ugly head, like how all new homes are overpriced by 25% just to cover the added costs of government regulation.

One of the fastest-growing demographics in the American electorate is Gen Z.
And while many in politics like to do an "old man yells at cloud" routine when discussing issues with Gen Z, we at The Brian Nichols Show understand that Gen Z is quite literally the future, and with that, share a lot of fundamental beliefs that those in the Liberty Movement share as well.
So how do we effectively meet Gen Z where they're at?
Isabella Riley joins the program as an old soul in Gen Z, but helps us better understand how to effectively communicate and reach those interested Gen Z voters who are curious to explore alternative solutions beyond what has been presented to them as the "status quo" by the older generations their entire lives.

By focusing on the issues that matter most to his community, Kelly is entering into the conversations his constituency is already having is offering libertarian solutions to the problems they see surrounding them.

Would the Democratic Party really run someone as inauthentic as Kamala Harris when voters are demanding authenticity?
Based on how Kamala Harris did in the 2020 Democratic Primaries (or rather, how badly she did), it doesn't seem to be wise to present her as the only option... and yet, that might be the only thing the Democrats can do.
Anna James Zeigler returns to the program to show who else the Democrats might consider, and if they do run Kamala Harris, how that could be great news for the Republicans (Ron DeSantis, anyone?).

Tired of that phrase over the past year and a half yet?

Back in January, I joined Matt Kibbe on his program to discuss the failures of libertarians to effectively market ideas.
We know that the best way to communicate with people is not to tell them what you think they should know, but to listen to their problems, answer their questions, and establish yourself as a source of trusted information others can turn to in times of doubt.
During that time of answering their questions and establishing trust, telling stories is a crucial tool in the toolbelt in helping illustrate our ideas and our solutions.
Matt now returns to the program to help show how best to tell stories that inspire and drive people towards "buying liberty" as a solution to the problems in their lives, and how he and his amazing team at Free the People have been helping tell amazing stories that show how libertarians are problem solvers.

What are the two emotions that drive buyers into action?
Love and...?
Fear.
Knowing that, how is fear being using to sell us on massive government policies with price tags ranging from the billions and even trillions of dollars.
Dr. Patrick Moore is one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and joins the program today to outline how easily fear can be used to motivate policy, actual science be damned, and how the contemporary environmental movement has focused less on saving the environment than it is being anti-humanity.

The COVID lockdowns have been one of the most divisive aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many libertarians (like yours truly) raising the alarm to the threat of unintended consequences in blindly following the government's approved list of experts.
But did I go to far? Did libertarians scare away potential liberty-curious folks by our strong stance against the government lockdowns?
Economist and friend of the show Max Gulker returns to the program and gives his take while also challenging my stance that "if you're explaining, you're losing".

How can we help public sector workers exercise their First Amendment rights without fear of coercion from unions?
Americans for Fair Treatment CEO David Osborne returns to the program to show how AFFT's mission has become increasingly important in recent years.
Since the June 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Janus v. AFSCME, government workers are now free to exercise their right not to pay a union and still keep their jobs, but the process of resigning from a union, introducing new ideas for workplace support, and avoiding workplace intimidation all remain daunting.
Listen as David outlines how AFFT gives those employees a voice and the resources to protect their rights.

New Jersey was one of the hardest hit states by the COVID pandemic, and the government's response to COVID likely ended up causing more pain than the virus alone.
Governor Phil Murphy even went as far to say that worrying about the Bill of Rights was "above his pay grade" when being pressed on his administration's lockdown tactics.
Gregg Mele decided that enough was enough, and announced that he was seeking to unseat Phil Murphy as governor under the Libertarian Party. Gregg joins the program to outline specifically why he is running for governor, and what he would do differently when compared to the current Murphy administration.

"The goal of the proposal is ...."
Now, to judge how a proposal did, one would want to look at the actual outcomes of said proposal, versus just looking at the intentions of the proposal.
And yet, when it comes to government programs and policies, it is the intentions that lawmakers seem to focus on.

Heard that one before? Whelp, if you're listening to the program, then not only have you likely heard that before, but you're also likely done with that mindset, as our goal here is to bring liberty to people's lives now.

The government lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic absolutely decimated small businesses. On top of that, major cities across the US were already seeing mass exoduses due to increasing cost of living, increased taxes, and the fact that cities are losing their initial appeal as hubs of commerce and activity.
Scott Beyer returns to the program to outline how a "Market Urbanism" approach to handling our cities woes could help put those cities back on course. It's getting government out of the way that helps solve these problems, and more often than not, it's the government getting in the way in the first place that caused the problems to begin with.

2020 brought a lot of unprecedented challenges, with dozens of states taking unconstitutional actions to "protect" their citizens. One such state is New Jersey.
With the crackdown on civil liberties in response to the COVID pandemic, Governors like Phil Murphy unintentionally fired up activists all around the country. In New Jersey, the pro-liberty movement is alive and well, and that's in large part due to today's guest: Michael Rufo (NJLP VP of Political Affairs).
Mike ran for office as a Libertarian in past elections, but now is focused on helping bring pro-liberty policy to New Jersey by helping coordinate with Libertarian candidates to offer substantive, effective policy prescriptions to bring to the voters.

The data, facts, and realities of COVID were far away from what the media and public health institutions were presenting to the world at the advent of the pandemic.
And while the controlling narrative was that of lockdowns and fear in response to COVID, organizations like PANDA have been working with some of the top minds in public health, focusing on the hard data and analytics of the pandemic to help save lives.
Returning to the program is Nick Hudson, co-founder of PANDA, who just gave an amazing talk at the inaugural BizNews Investment Conference where he crushed the common myths and misconceptions promoted by pro-lockdown, anti-science politicians and unelected bureaucrats.

As we discussed on Friday with Jack Hunter, Donald Trump proved that there was an untapped market within the GOP that a persona like he could take advantage of - populism.
However, that populism isn't exclusive to the GOP, as the ascendance of "democratic socialists" like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has show the Democratic Party just as malleable to the changing political winds.
Nick Gillespie from Reason returns to the program to outline the implications of said democratic populism, but also to the causes that have gotten the Democratic Party to this point in the first place.

"We needed to lock down out of an abundance of caution. We didn't know what the virus was going to do."
Ya'll have heard that before, right? Well, believe it or not, some of us have been raising the red flag from the very beginning that the government response to COVID (like the government lockdowns) would lead to more unintended long term consequences versus simply letting people/the market adjust.
Today's episode is a highlight of four guests from The Brian Nichols Show who were raising the alarm from the beginning.

Donald Trump proved that there was an untapped market within the GOP that a persona like he could take advantage of - populism. Now, this isn't a new discovery, but rather something that hasn't been effectively utilized by GOP politicians in decades.
Instead of learning from what Trump was able to do successfully in his use of Republican populism, many GOP leaders have rejected that approach, leaving many of those voters looking for a path forward.
Jack Hunter joins the program to dig into this Republican populism, and with that, how advocates in the liberty movement can utilize that populist sentiments in the GOP to help promote pro-liberty policy.

Finding common ground is one of the most challenging aspects of political discourse in 2021. In a world where "the others" are looked at with skeptical eyes, it's more important for us to enter into good-faith dialogue whenever and wherever we can on issues of agreement.
One such area the left and right (should) be finding common ground is that of the death penalty. Today we are joined by Professor David Dozier, professor emeritus in the School of Journalism & Media Studies at San Diego State University and author of "The California Killing Field". David joins the program to make the case as to why the death penalty is as anti-liberty as they come, how to have good-faith conversations with those we disagree with, and how to enact common policy goals into action.

Raise your hand if you've heard that famous utterance from the late Andrew Breitbart at least once in your life. Well, as cliche as it may sound, we see it first hand in the manner in which our society has so quickly adapted to the promoted culture of the Hollywood and leftist elite.
So, is it possible to help reign in the power? Or at least, to use it to our advantage?
Phil Labonte from All That Remains joins the program to dig into that, the "black pill". and more!

Marketing specialist and podcaster Brian Nicholas, my good pal, joins the show to discuss Marketing & Sales 101, and how these basic principles should apply to political campaigning.
How do we meet people where they're at? Is education or listening more key to winning votes? Just how important are name recognition and cults of personality in political success? And how do we respond to America's populist moment?
We discuss all this and more. (Plus, his take on pickles will leave you shook!)

COVID-19 is a threat. Yes, it's a very real disease that kills lots of people.
However, the government lockdowns and the related intrusions on civil liberties pose a serious threat not only to lives, but to civilization itself—a threat must be resisted.
At this juncture, the science is quite clear on what key policy responses should be—or should have been. But this is no longer about the science, if it ever was.
What is required now is a mobilization against what is essentially an enormous public relations machine that is fuelling fear and removing agency from people’s lives the world over, which is why today's guest is on the program!

What used to be shocking has somehow become the new normal in our politics, workplaces, and universities. Sexual predators stalk interns at work and teenagers abroad. Parents try to buy a place for their kids in college. Pharmaceutical companies refuse to acknowledge the Opioid epidemic they helped create. Banks issue credit cards no one ordered, ruining the credit scores and reputations of thousands. It happens so frequently that we can no longer dismiss these cases as a few bad apples.
Clearly, something in the system is rotten.
Today's guest is cultural anthropologist Grant McCracken , who argues that while most Americans are committed to morality and share basic standards of decency, we’re also becoming inured to scandal and shame, and hopeless about the possibility of change.
What if we decided to fight it instead?
Grant McCracken has a solution—the revival of an ancient idea called honor.
BIO: Trained as an anthropologist (Ph.D. University of Chicago), Grant has studied American culture for 25 years. He started the Institute of Contemporary Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum, where he did the first museum exhibit on youth cultures and has taught at the University of Cambridge, MIT, and the Harvard Business School. He is a long-time student of culture and commerce. Many academics prefer to look askance at interactions of culture and commerce. He has explored this theme in two books: Culture and Consumption I,and Culture and Consumption II. He has also looked at how Americans invent and reinvent themselves. He had explored this theme in two more books: Big Hair and Transformations: identity construction in a contemporary culture. A student of American culture. Plenitude published in 1997 looked at the new explosive growth of contemporary culture. In Flock and Flow, he shows how contemporary culture and commerce change. Two years ago, he published a book called Chief Culture Officer with Basic Books that argues that culture now creates so much opportunity and danger for the organization that need senior managers who focus on it full time. He is hoping this will create a new occupational destination for graduates in the arts and humanities. This year Grant is affiliated with the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard.

Libertarians are underdogs. The game is rigged against us. The Republican/Democrat duopoly colluded to effectively prevent any 3rd party from winning.
So what should we do? Is it hopeless? Should we just give up?
The good news: underdogs win all the time. David beat Goliath. Washington beat the British Empire. Trump beat Hillary. The Viet Cong beat the US military. Microsoft beat IBM. Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson. Nigel Farage beat the European Union.
It's these essential lessons that libertarians must learn from in order to have any semblance of success. And that's why today's guest spent so much time on his awesome article over on Substack, "How Libertarians can Take on the Duopoly and Win", as today I'm joined by Curt (Libertarian) from Checkmate the State.

Have we been here before? Well, maybe not exactly... but close enough! That's the argument that today's guest, Professor Jim Morone makes, and why we should look to the past when trying to figure out what lies ahead. History also shows us that demographic changes (like Latinos moving right) and arguments about the merit of divided government have been features of our politics since the very beginning.
While the events of today are unprecedented in many ways, boosted by intense tribalism and rampant disinformation, there are examples from our country’s past that we can look to understand the democratic institutions that are, as of now, holding strong.
BIO: James A. Morone is the John Hazen White professor of political science and public policy at Brown University. He is author of two New York Times notable books and the award-winning Hellfire Nation: The Politics of Sin in American History. He has won university-wide teaching awards five times and been elected to the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. His most recent book, the recent Republic of Wrath: How American Politics Turned Tribal, From George Washington to Donald Trump, published in September. The New York Times says it “offers a fresh theory to an already sizable pile of explanations for our dismal politics.” Jim lives in New Hampshire Sponsored By:

With the impending Biden/Harris administration, the idea of "cancelling" student loan debt has grown from a mere concept to a tangible possibility in the immediate future.
While the prospects of cancelling student loan debt sounds appealing (especially to those with tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt), Brad Polumbo (FEE) returns to the program to explain how that policy prescription isn't just a bad idea, but actually ends up being an incredibly regressive policy.

In 2016, a large faction of "Never Trump" conservatives split from the GOP in opposition to Donald Trump and his overtly non-conservative bona fides. Among them was John Ziegler, Senior Columnist at Mediate and longtime conservative media personality.
Today, John joins the show four years after the initial election of President Trump to give a true look back at the Trump presidency and to give it a grade from the lens of a Never-Trump conservative.

How do we #SellLiberty? That's the question we've been answering here on The Brian Nichols Show, and it's the question I was asked when I joined Dan "Taxation is Theft" Behrman on his aptly named podcast, "Taxation is Theft".
Selling the ideas of libertarianism is easy, so long as we're applying the ideas of libertarianism to the problems the "consumer" has identified.
Listen as we dig into all that, and more, on today's special episode!

Americans today don’t trust each other and their institutions as much as they once did. The collapse of social and political trust has arguably fueled our increasingly ferocious ideological conflicts and hardened partisanship. But is today’s decline in trust inevitable or avoidable? Are we caught in a downward spiral that must end in institutional decay or even civil war, or can we restore trust through our shared social institutions?

Were the COVID lockdowns a necessary means to help protect the public from an ambiguous public health threat, or were they a vast overreaction that will have devastating ramifications for years to come?

Zac Efron made his splash in the docuseries genre at the end of the summer of 2020, having starred and produced in Netflix's "Down to Earth".
The series promised to "explore healthy, sustainable ways to live", which piques the interest of the growing number of eco-conscious, young people. However, it is in the solutions presented by Efron and the series that raises the concern of today's guest, as today I am joined by noted American author, energy theorist, and industrial policy pundit, Alex Epstein.
Alex is the author of New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. Alex joins the show to help highlight some key flaws in the approach Efron takes in his approach to offering top-down, government solutions to various problems identified throughout the series.
The first two episodes we focus on specifically dig into the energy sector (Iceland) and clean drinking water (France), where it is argued that government policies have been net positives for those respective communities and that their models can be applied here in the same manner.
Alex takes a different approach, offering a thoughtful rebuttal to the solutions offered by the series... but you'll have to listen to find out more!

The past few weeks have changed the entire tenor of the 2020 election. In what was shaping to be landslide victory for Biden, an air of uncertainty has taken hold of the political winds, as ANTIFA and violent rioter and looters take to the streets of Americas largest cities, causing massive mayhem and destruction.
These mobs have gotten more aggressive in recent weeks, with shootings taking place on the regular. Senator Rand Paul and his wife were assailed by a mob while walking back to their hotel from the White House, despite Rand Paul being one of Black Lives Matter's best allies on the right.
It was this final act that started to change the minds of voters who were considering the Libertarian candidate in Dr. Jo Jorgensen as an alternative to Trump vs. Biden, with one such voter being that of Austin Petersen!
Austin joins the show to discuss the shift he has experienced over the past few weeks in response to the riots/Paul's being harassed, and why, yes, he's seriously considering voting for Donald Trump.

With the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police, the Black Lives Matter movement received a much needed added boost back into the national conversation in recent months.
However, as peaceful protests have more recently been descending into rioting and looting at the hands of bad actors who are co-opting the BLM movement (like ANTIFA, looters, etc...), we've watched the positive sentiments towards BLM wane, meaning meaningful criminal justice reform is getting more and more difficult.
Joining the program is friend of the show, Brad Polumbo! Brad has been doing great work in digging into economics and criminal justice reform, and today, Brad joins the show to discuss how the riots have not only set predominantly minority communities back by decades, but have truly damage the ability to move forward some substantive criminal justice reform.

Third party candidates have an uphill battle. It's a fact. And on top of the traditional struggles third party candidates face, our "pick-one" voting systems have only entrenched the "lesser of two evils" in our government, by giving us the same, tired, "red team vs. blue team" battle.
With legitimate third party candidates (like Dr. Jo Jorgensen), Americans deserve to have more than one choice for the most important position in the land.
That's what Aaron Hamlin, founder and executive director of the Center for Election Science, has made his primary goal; to change the way we vote away from our broken "pick-one" voting system, and instead, seek voting systems that encourage more candidates, forcing those seeking elected office having to truly compete in the marketplace of ideas.

The Libertarian Party: What's the best way to advance liberty?
That's a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.
That's why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party. I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.
The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression. The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It's time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.
That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.
The LP, like every political party, has its flaws.
But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it's time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.
Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!

With both Nico and Shaine being prominent figures on social media with strong followings, they obviously are hitting at the right nerves, and with that, have a unique perspective on how to approach culture while also advancing liberty (and guess what... it's gonna sound a tad familiar...).

Government strikes again! Only this time, they're going after one of our own.
Cliff Maloney, president of Young Americans for Liberty, joins the show to discuss that absolutely terrible (and almost entirely politically driven) decision by the City of Dallas to shut down YAL's "Mobilize 2020" conference with only a few days notice, costing YAL over $200,000 in non-refundable deposits and leaving nearly 1,500 young liberty activists scheduled to attend stunned.
Listen as Cliff outlines the details as to what happened, what action(s) YAL is taking, and how you can help support YAL's mission despite these circumstances.

The Libertarian Party: What's the best way to advance liberty?
That's a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.
That's why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party. I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.
The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression. The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It's time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.
That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.
The LP, like every political party, has its flaws.
But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it's time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.
Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!

What's the libertarian answer to policy issues that plauge major cities across the nation? Enter "Market Urbanism".
Market Urbanism is the cross between free-market policy and urban issues. The theory calls for private-sector actions that create organic growth and voluntary exchange within cities, rather than ones enforced by government bureaucracy. It is thus a call for city growth and management in the classical liberal tradition.
Market Urbanists believe this model would produce cheaper housing, faster transport, improved public services and better quality of life.
Today I'm joined by Scott Beyer. Scott is an urban affairs journalist and foundier of the Market Urbanism Report. He writes columns for Forbes, Governing Magazine, the Independent Institute, and HousingOnline.com, and gives regular speeches and media interviews.
He recently completed a 3-year cross-country trip to study U.S. urban issues, and will soon write a book on what he learned. After that, he wants to pursue a similar travel/book project covering the fast-growing cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

How many libertarian podcasts can you think of that go into detail as to what is happening in China? I mean, let's be real... most of it is just general commentary about propaganda, censorship, and planned economies.

Need a laugh? Let's be real... America needs one, giant, collective laugh right about now.
Well, in order to laugh, we need something to laugh at, which is why Adam Nutter joined the show! Ha!
See Adam? I can make jokes too!
All kidding aside (until the episode, that is!), Adam is a stand-up comedian and host of the podcast "Nerds With Words", which is a comedy podcast hosted by Adam and his associate, Neil Wood. Adam is a self-described libertarian, which prompted me to ask, "how can libertarians share libertarian ideas, yet still be funny/not overtly political?".
What transpired is a nearly hour-long conversation of fun, good laughs, and some A+ content.
I've been sitting on this episode for a few months, so I apologize in advance for some of the dated references. However, with today being July 4th, I thought this would be a great episode to share that will let you decompress from the intensity of the 24/7 news cycle.

I often mention that libertarians need to have folks we can point to in the private sector as examples of libertarian principles flourishing in action. Today's guest is just such a person, as today I am joined by the Chief Marketing Officer of TigerFitness.com and Owner/CEO of the fastest growing supplement company, MTS Nutrition, Marc Lobliner.
Marc is a self-described "libertarian" but stated in viral tweet that said,
"I’m not Trump’s base. Not even close.
I just can’t ride with nearly everything the Democrat party stands for anymore.
I wonder how many Independents are like me?"
With that, I reached out to Marc to have him on the show to discuss just that: being politically independent/homeless outside of the traditional two-party system.

Welcome back, folks! Brad Polumbo returns to the show this week, and what a perfect time for him to come back on, as one of Brad's main focuses (criminal justice reform) is leading the headlines across the nation in response to the George Floyd murder at the hands of the police.
Brad joins the show to specifically focus on ending qualified immunity and ending no-knock raids, two proposals currently being considered by the House and Senate thanks to the work of Congressman Justin Amash and Senator Rand Paul, respectively.
Brad and I conclude by looking at the Libertarian Party and what is holding Brad back, despite being a registered Libertarian, from considering the Libertarian Party seriously in the 2020 election.

The past three months have been an absolute whirlwind...
COVID-19 Nationwide lockdowns Meat Shortages Skyrocketing Unemployment George Floyd's Murder Black Lives Matter Protests Nationwide
But now it's time to put things in perspective. Now it's time to not only map out how these all connected, but how they are all caused by the actions (or inaction) at the behest of the state.
To help outline this case, Matt Kibbe from Free the People and Kibbe on Liberty (BlazeTV) returns to the show to help outline how the state has been the root cause of nearly all the problems our country has had to grapple with over the past three months.

It's hard to imagine, but we're already almost to June! Isn't that wild? Feels like just yesterday we were in March...
Well, though most of us have been locked down, time still moves forward, meaning we are one day closer to the 2020 Election! And with that, candidates are having to reach voters in different ways versus traditional door-knocking and shaking hands at parades, making podcasts a great forum for candidates to flesh out their ideas in a thoughtful and articulate manner.
So, if you're running for office, be it as a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, etc... email me at brian@briannicholsshow.com to discuss coming on the show!
One such candidate is that of Elliott Scheirman, Libertarian congressional candidate against incumbent Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw (TX-2)!

As weeks go by with the economy stuck on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many economists are starting to sound the alarm that the impact of our economy screeching to a halt could cause as much, if not more longterm death and prolonged hardship than the virus itself.

The Libertarian Party: What's the best way to advance liberty?
That's a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.
That's why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party. I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.
The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression. The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It's time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.
That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.
The LP, like every political party, has its flaws.
But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it's time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, no, we're not all going to die. But it certainly feels that way the way everyone has been reacting to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). What's even more wild is that just a few short weeks ago, the biggest news item was Biden, Bernie, and the Democrats! Amazing how quickly things can change, eh?
Well, with so much in the news, there was no way I could break it down for you on my own, so I called in backup, as this week I am joined by the great Bird and Car from the Friends Against Government Podcast! These gents joined me on the show today to bring their own unique senses of wit and snark to help dissect what exactly is going on with this whole coronavirus pandemic (officially a pandemic!).
Later, we take a step back into the world of politics and analyze the Democratic Primaries with Joe Biden seemingly taking the nomination by storm, having routed Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday (and the following week as well!) and to give our best guesses as to who the Democrats will nominate as their vice presidential candidate...
Hillary? AOC?? NANCY PELOSI???
You'll have to listen to find out!

Welcome back, folks! I hope you all enjoyed last week's episode with Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Jacob Hornberger (I know I certainly did!). Keeping up with phenomenal guests, I am today joined by Ammo.com's Lead Writer and Chief Historian, Sam Jacobs!
Sam joins the show today to discuss one of his recent article over at Ammo.com, titled "Deplatformed: How Big Tech Companies & Corporate America Subvert the Second Amendment". Sam, a self identified "Jacksonian-Conservative", takes a different approach to the tech censorship and deplatforming that has taken place in the past few years when compared to the traditional libertarian's perspective.
Listen as Sam and I have a fun back-and-forth discussion where we volley our differing takes to one another, leaving the conversation on a solid ground of understanding each other's position, and more importantly, that we were able to find some, gasp, COMMON GROUND!
Read Sam's Article: https://ammo.com/articles/deplatformed-big-tech-companies-subvert-second-amendment-social-media-guns Find Sam Online: https://ammo.com/our-team#sam-jacobs

The Ammo.com Podcast: https://ammo.com/podcast Ammo.com's Twitter: twitter.com/ammodotcom/
Sam's Bio: Sam Jacobs grew up in Southern New England, probably the part of the country with the weakest gun culture. However, from a young age he believed firmly in the right of self defense and the right to keep and bear arms. This, coupled with 12 years of education in public schools and an argumentative nature, meant that he was frequently getting into debates with his teachers about the virtue of the Second Amendment. A precocious student of history and the Constitution, Jacobs became interested in both the practice of armed self defense throughout history as well as the philosophical underpinnings of the Second Amendment.
Jacobs has an affinity for the individual and the common man against centralized forms of power and elites, whether they be in the government or the private sector. In particular, he is interested in the ways in which private companies work to subvert the legislative process and to undermine American freedoms outside of normal legal channels. He considers the resolution of how corporate power can hem in Constitutional freedoms to be the most pressing political question of our age.
The private sector and the public sector are increasingly indistinguishable from one another, both because of behind-the-scenes corporate chicanery that undermines the legislative process and because private companies are rapidly becoming far more powerful than the federal government. Thus, it is more important than ever to both fight the incursion of private companies into our government and to become independent and self-reliant enough to make it difficult for private companies to hem in your rights.
So Sam believes.
Jacobs is the lead writer and chief historian with Ammo.com, and is the driving intellectual force behind the content in the Resistance Library. He is proud to see his work name-checked in places like Bloomberg, USA Today and National Review, but he is far more proud to see his work republished on websites like ZeroHedge, Lew Rockwell and Sons of Liberty Media.
How many firearms does Sam own and what’s his everyday carry? That’s between him and the NSA. Support The Brian Nichols Show

I'll keep it short and sweet this week... today I'm joined by Joe Hauptmann, who is the former Chair of the Libertarian Party of Indiana and current campaign manager for Dr. Jo Jorgensen.
Dr. Jo Jorgensen was the Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential Nominee with Harry Browne in 1996.
She campaigned in 38 states and appeared as a Libertarian spokesperson on over 300 radio shows all across America. She regularly lit up the call-in boards, helping listeners discover the Libertarian Party and generating inquiries and new LP members.
In 1992, she was the Libertarian Party’s candidate for South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District. After a statewide televised debate with her Democratic and Republican opponents, Dr Jorgensen’s debate performance was widely praised in the media, and the Greenville News referred to her as “a rose between two thorns”.
Dr. Jo Jorgensen currently is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Clemson University. She holds a Ph.D in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (Clemson 2002) and has taught full-time since 2006. She graduated in 1979 from Baylor University with a B.S. in Psychology and in 1980 from Southern Methodist University with an M.B.A.
After earning her M.B.A., she put her education to work as a Marketing Representative for IBM. Relocating to Greenville, SC in 1983, she started her own software sales business.After taking a break to be a stay-at-home mom for her two children, she joined a software duplicating company as part owner, later taking over as president and full owner. She founded a business consulting company in 2002 and continues working with select clients.
Dr. Jo Jorgensen is a Life Member of the Libertarian Party. She supported Ed Clark for president in 1980 and has been voting Libertarian ever since. She officially joined the Libertarian Party in 1983 and has served as Greenville County chair, state vice-chair, and national marketing director for the Libertarian Party.

It's hard to imagine, but we're just 10 months or so away from the 2020 election. Wild, isn't it? With the Democratic Debates seemingly taking the national conversation towards the brink of outright socialism, and Trump deciding whether or not to start World War III (I'm kidding of course... right?), it seems that most Americans are searching for a candidate that they can support that, well, isn't as crazy as everyone else.
It's why candidates like Mike Bloomberg have essentially decided to spend a substantial fortune on trying to win the presidency, and why the Libertarian Party has an absolutely epic opportunity to win over some hearts and minds by being the adult in the room.
But the real question for the Libertarian Party is, well, will the be the adults in the room?
That's why I'm joined today by Elaine Joan, who is an independent campaign consultant and widely known political commentator, "Libertarian Redhead", who helps me break down some of the problems in Libertarian candidacies past, how Libertarian campaigns can catch on in the future, and which candidates seeking the Libertarian Party nomination can lead the LP to the most success in 2020
If you're considering running for elected office as a Libertarian, then please consider this as a complimentary consulting session between two seasoned political veterans (tips are appreciated in the form of shares, reviews, and Patreon support).
Bio: Elaine Joan is an independent campaign consultant and political commentator; you may know her as Libertarian Redhead on Facebook and Twitter. She has previously been a Libertarian Party of Tennessee Executive Committee member. She has a track record for lobbying legislative issues like 3rd party ballot access, ending the death penalty, and civil asset forfeiture. In 2018 she took a position as the Data Director for Elect Liberty PAC during the midterm elections in New Mexico and she is currently working with Voice for America PAC in Indianapolis.

With commentators proclaiming that World War III is just around the corner due to increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, the United States' foreign policy is at the forefront of the national conversation. With conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro singing the praises of President Trump's more hawkish approach to the increasing tensions with Iran (which Shapiro has seemingly toned down in recent days), I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a former self-described "neocon" who ended up becoming a "foreign policy realist" on the show to discuss their own personal growth and change of mindset.
Joining the show is Pratik Chougule. Chougule is a researcher at Boston College's Center for International Higher Education, where he is writing a book about American universities in the greater Middle East. He was previously an executive editor at The American Conservative and managing editor at The National Interest. During the 2016 election cycle, Chougule served as policy coordinator on the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. From 2008-2009, Chougule was a George W. Bush appointee at the State Department in the Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Chougule graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University and holds a JD from Yale Law School.
Listen as Chougule discusses his take on foreign policy, his critiques of the traditional neocon/hawkish foreign policy, the rising tensions of Iran, and finally his perspective of where the world stands after the 2020 election with regards to foreign relations and policy.

2020 will certainly present its share of challenges. Among them being that of having tough discussions with our friends, family, coworkers, etc... on issues that are politically and emotionally charged.
To start off the year, I wanted to take a second and go solo to discuss a phenomenal book I've been reading, "How to Have Impossible Conversation: A Very Practical Guide" by Peter Boghossian, where Boghossian outlines strategies to bring people who disagree into useful, productive engagement with one another.
Discussed today are some tools I've used (unintentionally, at that!) from the book, and some real-life examples of me using them both in my personal life and on the show with folks who have vastly disagreements with your favorite host.
And finally, as I mention at the close the show, if you're interested in sharing your story of utilizing some of these techniques yourself, email me at brian@briannicholsshow.com or tag me on social media (@BNicholsLiberty both on Twitter and on Facebook).

Criminal justice reform is a topic that many members on the left and the right have started to agree on (much in thanks to libertarians for paving the way), but despite the progress, our criminal justice system still harms millions of non-violent offenders to this day.
Today I am joined by Conner Drigotas to get his perspective on criminal justice reform, why it's so important for us to pay attention to criminal justice reform, and the very real human impact and harm that our current criminal justice system inflicts.
Conner's Bio: Conner is the Director of Communications and Outreach for a nonprofit public interest law firm offering free legal services to those hurt by public-sector union officials. He is also an adjunct professor at Lehigh University where he teaches business communications. Prior to joining the his current firm, Conner managed local, state, and federal political campaigns, and worked in the financial industry developing financial strategies for at risk populations.
Conner earned his MBA from Lehigh University and holds undergraduate degrees in Government & Law and Psychology from Lafayette College. A native Mainer, Conner enjoys the great outdoors and spends his free time hunting, camping, and fishing with his wife Danielle.

The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression. The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It's time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.
That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.
The LP, like every political party, has its flaws.
But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it's time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.

The Libertarian Party is the largest, pro-liberty political organization in the United States, yet the LP has never surpassed 3.5% in a nationwide election. So, what's the problem...? Is it the message, or the party?
Well, my guest today believes that part of the problem is the party, which is why he's made it his goal to bring his private sector expertise to the LP and is seeking to be the next chairman of the Libertarian Party. Returning to The Brian Nichols Show is the "Libertarian-in-Chief", Todd Hagopian!
Todd joined the show last year to discuss the Libertarian Party, the greater libertarian movement, and to dig into the upcoming 2020 presidential election and who should lead the LP as the nominee.
This time, Todd joins the show to discuss his candidacy to be the next chairman of the LP, with his main goals being to professionalize the party, create consistent branding for the party, and to focus on winning targeted, local elections.
Later, Todd answers questions from the audience, ranging from "What are some mistakes the LP has made, and what are some things they've done right?" to "How important is it for the LP to engage the youth vote, including the newest batch of voters in Gen Z?"
As I wrap up the show, I give my take on Todd's candidacy (oh, and a special surprise, too!).

Until then, have a great weekend, and I'll see you all next week!
Hey everybody. Stephen Ignoramus here and welcome to Call Me, Ignorant. So pleased you could be with us. Call Me, Ignorant is a live conversation show.

Our old, exclusionary, geographically-based education system is not educating children the way it promises to. Parents have been fighting for the ability to get their kids into schools that don’t constantly fail them decade after decade, only to be denied by the public education establishment, and the various policies promoted by the school choice movement give parents autonomy over their children’s education.
Joining The Brian Nichols Show today is Michael Torres from the Commonwealth Foundation. Michael is the Senior Communications Office over at the Commonwealth Foundation and joins the show to help dispel some myths regarding school choice and to speak to the value that school choice has in helping further our youths' education.

In 2015, the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges held that the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to license and recognize same-sex marriage per the Equal Protection Clause. While millions celebrated the decision (including libertarians), many social conservatives found the ruling to be an attack on state's rights and the institution of traditional marriage.
Joining me on today's episode is a dear friend, Thomas K. C. Thomas is a law student, a former libertarian, and a proponent of reverting America back to the days pre-Obergfell to restore America's valuing of traditional marriage and traditional social values. Thomas also is a strong proponent against social progressivism. While Thomas and I disagree, we still ended up having a respectful conversation to best understand where the other side was coming from, undoubtedly leaving the audience educated, enlightened, and informed.

Two men separated by time embark on parallel paths to succeed in the blood sport that is professional politics. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a young political operative named Art Brown finds himself about to sit at the right hand of power in Washington D.C only to end up falling out of the insider-circles he spent years trying to find acceptance in.
The other man would start his political path as one of the most progressive statesmen in the south, only to evolve into the villain of the civil rights movement- George C. Wallace.
Filled with political intrigue and suspense that spans among generations, along with that classic gonzo humor Remso W. Martinez has become known for, “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)” is a dark comedy that will force you to ask whether success at all costs is worth losing your humanity in the process.
Today's episode features all that and more, as we are once again joined by Remso to discuss his newest book, "How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)"!

Did you know that nobody knows how to make a pizza?
Wait, you disagree?
Okay, let's try this- Did you know there's not a single person on Earth who has the skills and knowledge to make something as deceptively simple as a cheese pizza? As a matter of fact, it takes millions of people, all with specialized skills – and what’s more, there are no central planners or people managing the process. So how do they do it?

Should Mass Shooters Get the Death Penalty? Your first reaction is likely, "Well, yes. Duh". And if that was your reaction, no worries, it used to be my reaction, too. That is until I started to look at the death penalty differently, much in part thanks to today's guest- Hannah Cox, National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty.
Hannah first joined the show last year to discuss the mission and work over at CCATDP, which is a national network of conservative Republicans and Libertarians calling for a re-examination of the American system of capital punishment. Today, Hannah joins the show to discuss whether shooters should get the death penalty and to hear CCATDP's position on the Trump administration's resuming the practice of executing death row inmates for the first time in more than 15 years.
Bio: Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty is a project of Equal Justice USA, a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma.
“Conservative Republicans and Libertarians are increasingly looking at the facts and deciding that the death penalty must be ended,” says Hannah. "This is especially true for younger voters on the right who are often leading the way on criminal justice reform as we become increasingly aware of the risks of executing innocent people and the opportunity costs involved with this wasteful system.”

I dare say that most of us know folks within the libertarian movement who came from the more conservative side of things, heck, with yours truly being one of them. But those who ventured to libertarianism from the left are much fewer in our ranks, despite them sharing our many of our values.
Today's guest is one of those unicorns who went from leftist to libertarian, and I wanted to have her on my show to discuss her conversion as she started going down the libertarian rabbit hole; the one and only Steffi Cole.
Listen as Seffi talks about her path to libertarianism from the left, her involvement in libertarian politics and political campaigns (like Austin Petersen's US Senate campaign), and more!
Bio: Steffi was born and raised in Michigan and "has been a passionate, hardworking nerd ever since she was little". After learning about economics and watching lots of videos about government in 2009, she found herself in the Tea Party movement. She became a huge fan of Ron Paul during his 2012 Presidential campaign. In 2017-2018, she volunteered doing social media, graphic design, and volunteer training for the Austin Petersen for US Senate campaign. She is currently a YouTuber, Brand Ambassador for 1776 United, and liberty promoter for products, people, and ideas. She is on a journey to learn as much as she can about history, government, and the Constitution!

Welcome back, folks! For those of you new listeners joining us, thanks for taking some time to listen to today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show!
Today’s episode sticks true to one of the main principles we maintain here at The Brian Nichols Show- talking to people we don’t necessarily see eye-to-eye with and trying to find areas of understanding or agreement. I’ve been very vocal in my opposition to the tactics that today’s guest, Arvin Vohra, utilized during his tenure as vice-chair of the Libertarian Party.
I even went as far to spend an entire episode tackling each of his controversial statements and gave my best argument as to why I believe that hyperbolic and controversial marketing is not helpful in recruiting more people to the Libertarian Party and the greater liberty movement.
With that being said, Arvin came on the show to not only promote his candidacy (Arvin is running to be the Libertarian Party candidate for the 2020 POTUS election), but to answer some of the tough questions I had in regards to his past controversial statements. Listen as Arvin discusses his candidacy, his approach to marketing liberty, and his vision for the libertarian movement.

"My vote just doesn't matter..."
Have you heard this before? Or perhaps have you caught yourself saying that exact same phrase?
Don't worry, you're not alone. As a mater of fact, I've said as much myself. With the "choose-one" voting system, many voters feel that their votes simply don't matter in today's electoral system. That's where today's guest, Aaron Hamlin, and the organization he co-founded, "The Center for Election Science", comes into play.
See, Aaron and his team have been on a mission to help change the way that American voters look at the electoral system by helping promote and institute alternative voting methods, like that of the "approval voting", can help third-party and independent candidates gain momentum, eliminate the "spoiler effect", and actually win elections!
Listen to learn how The Center for Election Science has been promoting approval voting, some wins they've tallied up, and the future prospects of changing our outdated voting system!

Are you happy? Or are things so chaotic in our world that you find it difficult to take joy in the things you use to take joy in? Are you looking for happiness in the right places?
All those questions and more get tackled in today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, as I am joined by documentarian of the travel series, "Straight No Chaser", Tim Preuss!
In 2015, Tim got involved in politics and internet marketing with the launch of his podcast,the "Tim Preuss Podcast". After nearly five years and over 500 episodes, Tim took a turn and decided to venture into traveling the U.S. and documenting it along the way. It was this turn that led to Straight No Chaser.
Listen as Tim talks about his journeys across the United States, the people he got to meet along the way, and where people seemed to be finding the most happiness in their lives, despite sometimes finding themselves in the darkest of circumstances.

Welcome back to The Brian Nichols Show! As always, my goal is to educate, enlighten, and inform, and today is no different, as I am once again joined by the one and only, Larry Sharpe!
Larry should be a stranger to none of you, as he was easily the most notable Libertarian candidate seeking elected office in 2018, as he ran on the Libertarian Party ticket in my home state of New York, garnering both national attention and a fantastic base of libertarians along the way.
Larry returns to the show to discuss the outcome of his 2018 run, what he learned along the way, and digs into the reason Larry is still out talking to voters across New York State (and other states) as a part of his "#FullSharpe" campaign.
Later, we discuss his new media empire, "Sharpe Way Media", and his new radio show, "The Sharpe Way". And finally, Larry gives his take on the tribalism America is currently facing and his predictions for 2020 and beyond.

Man, I sure missed you all last week while I was on vacation! But thankfully, we're back on track with our regularly scheduled programming, as this week I am joined by Caleb Shumate!
Caleb is a passionate advocate for liberty and storyteller with a deep appreciation of history. Today he joins the show to discuss one of his more recent articles over at The Libertarian Republic- “Colt Made Me Equal”: A Disabled Libertarian’s Case For Gun Ownership.
Listen as Caleb explains the importance of gun ownership, especially for those individuals who may be at a physical disadvantage when compared to those who might seek to cause them harm. We also touch on Caleb's experience as someone with cerebral palsy and how despite his physical limitations, he has found himself rejecting the concepts of government handouts and has embraced libertarianism and constitutional conservatism.

Welcome to The Brian Nichols Show! For you first time listeners, I am your humble host, Brian Nichols, and here at The Brian Nichols Show, our goal is to educate, enlighten, and inform.
Today is no exception, as I am joined by Congressman Justin Amash. Congressman Amash has been making headlines as of late, with his being the first Republican in Congress to assert that President Trump committed potentially impeachable offenses in regards to his actions and potential obstruction of justice as it relates to the Mueller Investigation.
Congressman Amash joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his tenure in Congress, the principles that he leans on when crafting legislation, the rationale behind his public statements regarding President Trump's "impeachable offenses", and the manner in which populism and nationalism have taken over the Republican Party in an era of Trump.
Later, we discuss Congressman Amash's fierce opposition to the surveillance state, focusing on his staunch opposition to the Patriot Act, FISA, and his recent attempts to reign in FISA Section 702, which would have helped put a stop to warrantless FISA surveillance.
We conclude our conversation by addressing the elephant (or porcupine?) in the room... Will Congressman Amash seek to fight President Trump at the ballot box in 2020 by primarying Trump as a Republican, or rather as the top of the Libertarian Party ticket?
A transcript can be found here.

The government stinks. I know it. You know it. We all know it. So, instead of sending your hard earned money to the government every year to do "societal good", why not send it to nonprofits who actually, ya know, know what they're doing and do it well?
That's where "We Do Better" comes into play. We Do Better seeks to promote the freedom and well-being of all Americans by maximizing the quality and accessibility of public services and accountability in their provision. We Do Better is one of the leaders in advocating for charitable credits in cities, counties, states, and nationwide that allow taxpayers to direct a portion of their taxes to organizations that meet human needs in their communities.
Listen as Rick Rivkin (part of We Do Better's national team) joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss how easy it is to become an advocate of We Do Better's mission. Later, Rick discusses some of the wins that We Do Better has under their belt, different means of grassroots outreach that We Do Better has taken advantage of, and how easy it is for anyone to have their tax dollars go towards charities they care about rather than go to our inefficient government.

Hey guys! Thanks for stopping by for another episode of The Brian Nichols Show! This week I had the pleasure of interviewing David Osborne of The Fairness Center!
The Fairness Center is a nonprofit, public interest law firm that provides free legal services to those hurt by public-sector union officials. Having worked with The Fairness Center as a chapter leader at the America's Future Foundation in Philadelphia, I wanted to make sure I brought them on my show to talk about the great work they do helping those public sector employees stand up for their rights against the corrupt union officials.
After listening to today's episode, be sure to take a second and share today's episode with FIVE of your friends... that's it... only five! And if you could, swing over to iTunes and give the show a rate and review so we keep moving up the podcast rankings, thus allowing us to spread the message of liberty even further!

Our firm has filed a wide variety of lawsuits on behalf of individuals who are both union and non-union members, and for organizations seeking to push back on injuries caused by the actions of public-sector union officials. This includes representing teachers who want to do what they love without supporting a union with which they disagree; a graduate assistant who wants an education without union involvement; a homecare worker who wants to protect his working relationship from union intrusion; taxpayers who want their money to support education, not union activity; a firefighter's local union trying to protect its firefighters' right to disaffiliate from a large, state union; and religious objectors to unionism who want to support that in which they believe, not what union officials choose for them.

Welcome back to The Brian Nichols Show! It's always a fun time when you get to interact with other libertarian podcasters, and this week is no exception, as I am joined by Banks and Shane from "The Rebellion"!
Now, most of you are likely familiar with at least one-half of this dynamic duo, as I was joined by Shane Hazel back in the summer of 2018 to discuss his candidacy for US Congress in the great state of Georgia. Upon settling back into some normalcy post-campaign, Shane decided to team up with his campaign manager, Banks Wise, and together they formed "The Rebellion".
"Armed with truth bombs, timeless principles and an ample dose of humor, Banks & Shane navigate the tempestuous sea of life and politics. Ready to bring down the Empire? Welcome to The Rebellion."
After you're finished with today's episode, do me a favor and swing over to Banks and Shane's show and be sure to subscribe to their podcast. They do a lot of great work over there and I cannot recommend their show enough.
Also, for those of you looking for a particular interview with a particular Congressman, please stay patient... with some events/tweets being sent last weekend regarding a particular President, we had to get flexible with scheduling, and we are officially back on the books with said Congressman for the beginning of June... so have no fear, the interview is near!

Boy oh boy are you guys in for a special episode today, as today I am joined once again by, "easily one of the best of the best", Matt Kibbe!
Matt returns to The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his newest venture over at BlazeTV- Kibbe on Liberty, where "Libertarian Matt Kibbe puts aside politics to have mostly honest conversations with mostly interesting people."
Listen as Matt and I start off by discussing the importance of liberty organizations that engage young people, like that of what Cliff Maloney is doing with Young Americans for Liberty (YAL). Later, we dig into his new show, Kibbe on Liberty, have a fun-filled chat about Hayek, and then dig into Trump, the Mueller Report, and Bob Barr. Finally, we conclude by discussing Matt's 2020 "wish list" of presidential and touch on the topic of one Congressman Justin Amash's possible future endeavors...
Matt's Bio: Matt Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. We reach the “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling. Kibbe is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms,” a documentary series about the dangers of all flavors of authoritarianism.
He is the Co-Founder and Partner at Fight the Power Productions, a strategic communications firm focused on video production, social media branding, and compelling storytelling.
He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, where he served as President for 11 years. Steve Forbes said, “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”
Against his better judgment, Kibbe occasionally gets involved in politics, serving as Senior Advisor to a Rand Paul SuperPAC, and creating AlternativePAC to support liberty candidates. Back when Yoda was a teenager, Kibbe worked as Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill, as Budget Director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and at the Republican National Committee.
Dubbed “The Scribe” by the New York Daily News, Kibbe is most recently author of the #2 New York Times bestseller, Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto. In his spare time he appears on Old Media, including FOX News, MSNBC, CNN and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Most of his best material is lifted from his three liberty-minded cats, Roark, Ragnar, and Rearden.

A "GoFundMe" Government? Well, more like a "Crowd Funded Government", as today I am joined by Theodore, Executive Director of CrowdFundedGovernment.com.
Crowd Funded Government is a new approach to government funding that can be applied to all levels of government. Crowd Funded Government would eliminate any undemocratic influence of lobbyists. Crowd Funded Government would create a system of government that truly is "of the people, by the people, for the people."
Listen as Theodore and I discuss how we would get to a "crowd funded government", some challenges it may face, and what a truly "crowd funded government" would look like.

Hey folks! First off, I need to apologize... This week's audio isn't up to the standards that you've come to expect from The Brian Nichols Show.

Not gonna lie... I hated math when growing up. It was always the least favorite class that I took during school. And truth be told, I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of you out there who felt the exact same way.
JW Weatherman noticed that as well, and found that the main problem is that students aren't actually "doing math", but rather learning how to essentially fill out forms in the way they were instructed. It was that realization that led to Weatherman creating Mathbot.com.
Mathbot.com is a fun, engaging way for both kids AND adults to learn math by learning how to code. To get started you don't need to know how to read or add, but before you're finished you'll know how to calculate derivatives.
Say what???
Programming is simple. In fact, Mathbot only has four commands (step forward, turn right, pickup, and put down) so you'll be crushing problems in under 3 minutes. By using a robot to do all the work, you get all the joy of problem solving without any annoying or repetitive tasks. And since you are able to focus on the big picture, you'll learn faster too!
Give today's episode a listen and and please be sure to share with your family and friends who, like me, hated math as a kid.

Another week, another phenomenal interview. This week's guest should need no introduction, but dammit, I'm going to introduce him anyways, because he's just that awesome.
This week, I am joined by the former editor in chief and current editor at large over at Reason, Nick Gillespie! Nick served as the editor in chief Reason.com and Reason TV from 2008 through 2017 and was Reason magazine's editor in chief from 2000 to 2008.
Today, Nick joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his venture into libertarianism, the beginning of his professional career, and his tenure at Reason. Listen as we discuss the best means for libertarians to "bridge the gap" in regards to connecting the cultural aspects of libertarianism and the philosophy and political movement of libertarianism.
Bio: Nick Gillespie is an editor at large at Reason, the libertarian magazine of "Free Minds and Free Markets."
A two-time finalist for digital National Magazine Awards for his work on "UPS vs. FEDEX: Ultimate Whiteboard Mix" and the documentary series Reason Saves Cleveland with Drew Carey: How to Fix the Mistake on the Lake and Other Once-Great American Cities, Gillespie is co-author, with Matt Welch, of The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong With America (2011/2012).
"Nick Gillespie is to libertarianism what Lou Reed is to rock ‘n’ roll, the quintessence of its outlaw spirit," writes Robert Draper in The New York Times Magazine. "For the past 20 years, Gillespie has been a writer, editor and intellectual godfather for Reason, the movement’s leading journal since its founding in 1968." The Daily Beast named him one of "The Right's Top 25 Journalists," calling him "clear-headed, brainy...[and] among the foremost libertarians in America."
Gillespie served as the editor in chief Reason.com and Reason TV from 2008 through 2017 and was Reason magazine's editor in chief from 2000 to 2008. Under his direction, Reason won the 2005 Western Publications Association "Maggie" Award for Best Political Magazine. Gillespie originally joined Reason's staff in 1993 as an assistant editor and ascended to the top slot in 2000. In 2004, Gillespie edited the book Choice: The Best of Reason, an anthology of the magazine's best articles. The Washington Post featured Gillespie's tenure at Reason magazine, asking, "Which monthly magazine editor argues that the spread of pornography is a victory for free expression? And that drugs from marijuana to heroin should not only be legalized, but using them occasionally is just fine? And is also quite comfortable with gay marriage? The answer is Nick Gillespie, libertarian and doctor of literature, who...is injecting [Reason magazine] with a pop-culture sensibility."
Gillespie's work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Slate, Salon, Time.com, Marketplace, and numerous other publications. He has been a columnist for Time and The Daily Beast and he was a regular contributor to the late, lamented satire site, Suck, where he wrote under the name Mr. Mxyzptlk.
He is a frequent commentator on radio and television networks such as National Public Radio, CNBC, CNN, C-SPAN, Fox Business, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and PBS. He has worked as a reporter for several New Jersey newspapers and as an editor at several Manhattan-based music, movie, and teen magazines. He is almost certainly the only journalist to have interviewed both Ozzy Osbourne and Nobel laureates in economics such as Milton Friedman and Vernon Smith.
In 1996, Gillespie received his Ph.D. in English literature from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He also holds an M.A. in English with a concentration in creative writing from Temple University and a B.A. in English and Psychology from Rutgers University. Gillespie, the father of two sons, lives in New York City.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Well, too bad, because we have the doctor in the house, as this week I am joined by Dr. Mary Ruwart! Dr. Ruwart honestly should need no introduction, but for those of you who are unfamiliar in Dr. Ruwart's work, Dr. Ruwart is a research scientist, ethicist, and a renowned libertarian author/activist.
Listen as Dr. Ruwart and I discuss her start in politics/libertarianism, the history of the Libertarian Party, and the importance of accomplishing libertarian goals outside of using government force.
Bio: Dr. Mary J. Ruwart received her B.S. in biochemistry in 1970 and her Ph.D. in Biophysics in 1974 (both from Michigan State University). She subsequently joined the Department of Surgery at St. Louis University and left her Assistant Professorship there to accept a position with The Upjohn Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1976. As a senior research scientist, Dr. Ruwart was involved in developing new therapies for a variety of diseases, including liver cirrhosis and AIDS.
Dr. Ruwart left Upjohn in 1995 to devote her time to consulting and writing. Her communications course for scientists covering written, oral, and poster presentations has received high praise from attendees. She also provides consulting services for nutraceutical companies, clinical research organizations, and universities.
Between 2003 and 2006, Dr. Ruwart was an adjunct Associate Professor of Biology at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. During that time, she served with the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics, designing a medical research ethics course for the University. Her radical application of ethics to medical regulation, especially regulations regarding pharmaceuticals, has life-and-death-implications.
Since 1982, Dr. Ruwart has also been involved in societal ethics with a focus on the political theory and practice of libertarianism. Her award-winning international best-selling book, Healing Our World, demonstrates how the ethical application of libertarian principles has historically created harmony and abundance. Referencing hundreds of studies, Dr. Ruwart demonstrates that many of our current policies surreptitiously violate the basic ethical standards that we hold dear, thereby leading to unintended—and highly undesirable—consequences. Over the last three decades, Dr. Ruwart has often run for public office as a Libertarian Candidate, primarily to educate voters on the impact of ethical choices on their personal and financial well-being.
Dr. Ruwart’s sister, Martie, provided extensive editorial critique to the first (1992) edition of Healing Our World. In 1993, Martie was diagnosed with terminal cancer and became one of Dr. Kevorkian’s patients. In memory of her sister, Dr. Ruwart shares her story with those interested in the ethical issues surrounding assisted suicide in both public (Larry King Radio; The Morton Downey, Jr. Show; Rolanda, etc.) and private forums (e.g., churches, schools, hospice).
Her Internet column, Ask Dr. Ruwart, is a popular feature of the Advocates for Self-Government “Liberator OnLine” e-zine. Her book, Short Answers to the Tough Question, is based on these and other questions she has received over the years.
Dr. Ruwart has worked extensively with the poor through her decade-long efforts to rehabilitate low-income housing in the Kalamazoo area. She was also an active member of the Kalamazoo Rainforest Action Committee and has been profiled in American Men and Women of Science, Who’s Who in Science and Technology, World Who’s Who of Women, International Leaders of Achievement, Who’s Who of American Women, Community Leaders of North America and several other prestigious biographical works.
Currently, Dr. Ruwart serves as Chair of Liberty International and Secretary of the Foundation for a Free Society. She has been an At-Large member of the Libertarian National Committee , served on the Board of both the Heartland Institute (Michigan Chapter) and the Fully Informed Jury Amendment Association.

Boy oh boy are you in store for a fiery (yet fun) conversation. Today I am joined by friend of the show (and former New York State Assembly Candidate) Keith Rubino!
Now, I'm sure most of you will remember when Keith joined us last year to discuss his candidacy as a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist". Keith came on the show knowing full well that this was a libertarian podcast with a libertarian audience. But that didn't deter him in the slightest. Keith came on the show, took the tough questions, and gave the audience and genuine look into the mind of our political foils.
Keith's last episode went over so well, from both libertarians AND democratic socialists alike, that I wanted to have him on once again to have an "Ask the Democratic Socialist" segment where my audience could submit questions that they have regarding democratic socialism for Keith. And my goodness, you guys sent me TONS of questions for Keith.
Now, I didn't get the chance to ask all of your questions, and frankly, there were quite a few questions I had to weed out ("How does one advocate for theft so openly?" was one of my personal favorites), but never fear, this is likely to be "PART 1" of my "Ask a Democratic Socialist" series with Keith.
Keith and I had a lively, at times fiery, but overall fun conversation. I feel that you will walk away from this episode, much like Keith and I did, feeling that you understand where the other side comes from more clearly.
Definitely an episode that educates, enlightens, and informs!

Last week, we were joined by Lily Tang Williams, as she discussed her growing up under Mao's Communist China years and years ago... Today, we are joined by Hillary Andaluz Aguilar, who grew up in Venezuela through both the Socialist Chavez and Maduro regimes. With the Tragedy of Venezuela taking place right before our eyes, Hillary gives personal insight into what built up to the horrible conditions witnessed in Venezuela today.
Listen as Hillary explains how Chavez and the concepts of socialism took control of Venezuela through the use of divisiveness, cause by building resentment between the differing wage classes. Later, Hillary discusses the deteriorating of the Venezuelan economy caused by the socialist policies of Chavez, the death of Chavez, and the new rule under Maduro. Finally, we conclude by discussing what those in favor of socialism today should learn from the failed socialist policies in Venezuela so that we never fall in the same way as Venezuela has.
Again, I don't ask this often, but if you could please share today's episode with your family and friends, especially those in need of hearing the truth as to what socialism has done to Venezuela, that would be absolutely incredible.

We all have "that" friend... "Like, OMG democratic socialism is the only way we can save America #CRAPitalism".
And in response, have you ever thought, "Man, if only I had a podcast I could share with [INSERT COMMIE FRIEND NAME HERE] where the host interviewed someone who grew up in a communist hellhole who could speak to the atrocities of socialism and communism from their experiencing it first hand?"
If you answered yes to either of these particularly specific questions, then boy oh boy do I have an episode for you!
On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Lily Tang Williams! Williams grew up in Communist China under Mao Zedong and earned her B.S. in law from Fudan University in 1985, one of China's top five universities, and her M.S. in social work (upon moving to the United States) from the University of Texas at Austin in 1991.
Lily was the Libertarian nominee in 2014 to run for the State of Representatives in District 44 and is the former state chair of the Libertarian Party and Libertarian nominee in 2016 for U.S. Senate in Colorado. Listen as we discuss Lily's amazing story from living in Mao's Communist China, coming to America, discovering the concepts of liberty, and subsequently pursuing elected office as a Libertarian. Finally, Lily gives her dire warning to those who are "socialism/communism curious"... it's a message you can't miss (and one I ask you to share with all your friends and family).
Lily's Bio: Lily Tang Williams was the Libertarian nominee for U.S. Senate in Colorado. Born before China’s Cultural Revolution in Sichuan province, the wild west of China, Lily was raised with her two brothers by illiterate working-class parents. She grew up under Mao’s regime, enduring poor living conditions; food rationing; Communist indoctrination; and political and social chaos. In this tumultuous environment, she quickly developed street smarts and compassion, as well as the values of perseverance and hard work.
Lily received her university law degree at Fudan University in Shanghai and was a faculty member of the law school for three years. She came to the U.S. in 1988 to earn a Master's degree at the University of Texas at Austin, School of Social Work.
Subsequently, Lily worked for corporations in Hong Kong and the U.S as a corporate executive. She then became a Colorado small business woman and entrepreneur in 2000.
Lily was nominated as a candidate by the Libertarian Party of Colorado in March of 2014 to run for the State of Representatives in District 44. She is the former state chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado and currently State Director for Our America Initiative.
Lily is a grassroots activist and professional speaker. She has been outspoken promoting civil liberties, economic freedom, less intrusive government, and other policies that maximize personal freedom. She is an inspirational speaker to many people. Lily has been married to John Williams for 26 years. They have lived in Parker, Colorado for 17 years, with their children and German Shepherd Ajiao (which means 'cute and proud' in Mandarin). In addition to political activities, Lily takes care of family and business. She also enjoys traveling, cooking, music, soccer, poker and ping pong.

This episode originally aired on The Muddied Waters of Freedom's podcast, "The Wrighters Block"
"Brian Nichols from the Brian Nichols Show and the Libertarian Republic joins Matt to talk about the new Congress and the Presidential field in 2020."
Matt Wright Bio: Matt wright is the former vice chair of the Libertarian Party of Pinellas county. He has worked on numerous statewide campaigns for libertarian candidates, and continues to be an avid activist. He is a published fiction author, and continues working to help further the liberty movement through activism, his writing, and this podcast.
The Muddied Waters of Freedom: Matt Wright and Mohammed Shaker had seen each other on social media for a while before finally meeting each other at Low Tide Kava Bar in Gulfport in the summer of 2015.
They began hanging out on a regular basis talking about politics, religion and life in general. After months of them getting to know each other Mohammed asked if Matt would be interested in doing a podcast together. After a few more months of talking about it they decided to take the plunge, and sat down at Matt’s house and recorded their first episode which was met with very little critical acclaim. They were able to borrow a microphone from a friend in order to approve on the sound of the episodes and slowly they approved the quality of their episodes.
After running a contest on Facebook in order to help name the show Matt and Mo decided on the name “The Muddied Waters of Freedom” in an allusion to the kava they drink during their show, along with the murky waters of politics and the effects it has on each and every persons’ personal freedoms.
The Muddied Waters of Freedom is becoming a steadfast in the Liberty Movement having been mentioned on other podcasts, such as MilLiberty with Caleb Franz, and Across the Aisle with Zak, Adam and Kaison, and received recognition from Eric July from the Backwordz. Matt and Mohammed continue to put out episodes touching on the current events of the week, hoping to educate their listeners on what is happening, how our personal freedoms are being infringed upon, and what we can do to change the path our country is currently on.

I hope you all are strapped in, 'cause we're about to Blast Off with Johnny Rocket!
Yes, you read that right! Today I'm joined by Johnny "Rocket" Adams from The Launch Pad Media! Johnny is one of the most familiar voices within the greater libertarian movement, as he is the host of the show, "Blast Off with Johnny Rocket". Today, Johnny joins me to discuss his latest venture... a complete re-branding and re-launching (pun intended) of his media empire: The Launch Pad Media.
Listen as Johnny discusses his venture to becoming a libertarian, starting from his days as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army to his deep-dive into libertarianism to his building his media empire today.
Bio: JOHNNY "ROCKET" ADAMS
Johnny “Rocket” Adams is the creator and host of “The Johnny Rocket Launch Pad – Libertarian Rock n’ Roll Experience” and now “BLAST OFF!” He’s also a musician, graphic artist, author, and former Chief Warrant Officer. Johnny spent his early days earning his stripes as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army.
Back stateside, Johnny immersed himself in the classic works of Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt, and Ludwig von Mises. From there the AnCap known as “Johnny Rocket” was born. Speaking truth to power from your cell phone tower, Johnny digests the philosophy of liberty and brings them to the man on the street on a weekly basis.
Johnny Rocket was also the front-man of the rockabilly group “Hot Roddin’ Romeos” and puts pencil to paper with the critically acclaimed comic series “The Liberty Force.” New York Times best-selling author and podcast host Tom Woods calls Johnny Rocket “one of the most entertaining figures in the liberty movement.”

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we are joined by a friend of the show, Caleb Franz! Caleb appeared on The Brian Nichols Show back in the Summer of 2018 to discuss his new venture, The MiLiberty Initiative. The MiLiberty Initiative's first project is an amazing project that Caleb is here to discuss: The Reintegration Project.
Listen as Caleb explains The Reintegration Project and how it uses a market-based approach in helping non-violent ex-offenders find careers where their past convictions is of no concern to business owners. With a voluntary pledge, business owners vow to ignore the records of ex-offenders and only judge them on their job performance.
Later, Caleb explains in detail as to how and ex-offender comes to learn about businesses that are Reintegration Project businesses, how a business owner become a Reintegration Project business, and the way The Reintegration Project helps show that libertarians are putting their money where their mouths are.

Welcome back, ya beautiful people! I hope you had a fun and relaxing holiday break with you family and friends as we wrapped up 2018. But alas, here we are, kicking off 2019 the right way... with yet another phenomenal guest on The Brian Nichols Show!
To kick off 2019, I am joined by the Editor at Young Voices and contributor to National Review, The Federalist, and the Washington Examiner, Brad Polumbo! Brad focuses on a number of issues in his commentaries, but particularly focuses on civil liberties, LGBT issues, and higher education.
For today's episode, we start off discussing the divide between those within the LGBT movement and the political ideologies of conservatism and libertarianism. As an openly gay conservative/libertarian, I ask Brad to share his experience within the larger conservative/libertarian communities, his interactions with social conservatives, and the manner in which he and other gay conservatives/libertarians are treated by the greater LGBT movement.
Later, Brad gives his advice to libertarians as to how and better win over members of the LGBT community and dissects the ridiculousness that is identity politics.

This special BONUS EPISODE of The Brian Nichols Show concludes the 2018 season! Listen as I joined friend of the show, Remso Martinez, on his program- The Resmo Martinez Experience.
(Found originally from https://rwmartinez.com/2018/12/24/podcast-the-weekly-standard-is-dead-so-who-is-next/)
Remso and the boys are here with you today to pour one out for our war-loving homies at The Weekly Standard. During The Weekly Standard’s 23 years of life, it became really good friends with George W. Bush and was eventually beaten into a coma after the 2016 election. The guys discuss who will be the next publication to die, what this means for the future of Rand Paul, why middle America hates eggheads, and what the future of legacy media may look like.

Wow! What a year! This will be the final episode of The Brian Nichols Show for 2018! But don't you worry, I have a special episode in store for you next week from my appearance on a different podcast... a podcast hosted by a dear friend of The Brian Nichols Show.
To wrap up the 2018 season of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research! Max is an economist over AIER and has holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.
Max joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss one of his latest pieces from AIER- "The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal". With the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her promoting of the "Green New Deal", Max took an economist's look at the topic to see the true economic consequences of passing a "Green New Deal" versus letting the market decide what the best solution would be.
We also take some time to discuss Max's background, as he came to libertarianism from the left-side of the political isle.
With that, I hope you enjoy this week's episode! It has been an absolute pleasure sharing these 50 episodes with you during 2018. I cannot wait to kick things off strong in 2019! Have a safe and happy holiday with you friends, family, and loved ones.
Max's Bio: Max Gulker is an economist and writer who joined AIER in 2015. His research often focuses on free markets and technology, including blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the sharing economy, and internet commerce. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, especially on blockchain technology. Max’s research and writing also touch on other economic topics, including governance, competition, and small businesses.
Max holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.

Alrighty, folks... we're back to our normal scheduling post-Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoyed our Throwback/Flashback episodes during the break.
My first guest after the break is Michael Autery! Michael is a Lieutenant in the United States Naval officer and the host of the podcast "Unalienable", which is all about the Constitution, what it means, and how it applies to current issues. In Michael's own words- "I swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, and I think of my podcast as an extension of that oath."
Today's episode focuses on the sometimes confusing relationship between libertarianism, our United States' foreign policy, and those members of our armed forces. Michael and I dig into these topics, discussing why members of the military tend to support those libertarian-leaning candidates (such as Ron and Rand Paul), why some service members turn towards the GOP post-service rather than the LP, and how libertarians can be more effective in recruiting these service members into our ranks. We then conclude today's episode with a discussion on the ignorance of the average voter and what we should do to address the very real problem that an ignorant voter-base does to our democratic-republic system of government.
Bio: Michael is a United States Naval officer (Lieutenant Junior Grade), becoming an officer in the spring of 2015. He is also the host of the podcast "Unalienable". Before the Naval Academy, he was an enlisted sailor (Petty Officer 3rd Class), serving a total of 9 years in the Navy (the last 4 as an officer).
Michael is also an amateur bodybuilder. He has competed once before, and would like to compete again in the spring. He also hope to one day run for Congress upon his leaving the Navy. He has a total of two podcasts. He started "Unalienable" in April of 2018 and started "Philosophication with Ginger and the Beard" with his friend in August of 2018.

Today I am joined by a familiar face (or voice, rather) or the We Are Libertarians Network- Chloe Anagnos! Chloe is a writer and digital marketer and has been a contributor for the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) since 2017. Her work has been the subject of articles in FOX News, The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), USA Today, CNN Money, and WIRED.

AFF is a professional development network for individuals who believe in the power of personal liberty, entrepreneurship, and innovation, channeled through free-markets, to promote positive social change. AFF events bring together like-minded advocates in with each respective community to network, learn from each other, discuss key issues, and ultimately collaborate to improve themselves and the city as a whole.
Both Indy and Philly AFF-chapters held seminars in recent months discussing the impacts of the opioid epidemic and the free-market solutions that are available to help mitigate the situation. Chloe and I discuss these AFF events at length, which then leads us to a more generic discussion about healthcare and the free-market solutions that are out there to help "fix" our broken healthcare system.

Liberty Memes, Censorship, and Elections, Oh My!
On today's episode, I'm joined by Matt Kibbe! Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. He is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms" and "Kibbe on Liberty".
Listen as we first start off discussing Matt's first steps into libertarianism via the band Rush and their "2112" album, which pointed Matt towards the readings of Ayn Rand. Next, we discuss the recent censorship on Facebook of popular libertarian page, "Liberty Memes" and what libertarians should do in response.
Next, we discuss Matt's organization, "Free the People", which is an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty by reaching those “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling. After that, we discuss how libertarians should vote in the 2018 midterms, strategic voting, and the "lesser of two evils" argument. We also touch on two strong Libertarian campaigns in Gary Johnson for U.S. Senate in New Mexico and Larry Sharpe for Governor in New York.
We start to conclude our conversation by discussing potential outcomes in the 2018 midterms, as well as how our nation will look after 2020 and 2024. And finally, we wrap up our discussion by looking at Matt's book, " Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto."
Matt's Bio: Matt Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. We reach the “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling.

He is the Co-Founder and Partner at Fight the Power Productions, a strategic communications firm focused on video production, social media branding, and compelling storytelling.
He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, where he served as President for 11 years. Steve Forbes said, “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”
Against his better judgment, Kibbe occasionally gets involved in politics, serving as Senior Advisor to a Rand Paul SuperPAC, and creating AlternativePAC to support liberty candidates. Back when Yoda was a teenager, Kibbe worked as Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill, as Budget Director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and at the Republican National Committee.
Dubbed “The Scribe” by the New York Daily News, Kibbe is most recently author of the #2 New York Times bestseller, Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Nicholas Veser! Veser is best known for his role at Being Libertarian, doing his “Daily Headline” videos (among others), but has well over a decade experience in media production.
Today, Nick joins me to discuss how we can market liberty to those outside the libertarian echo chambers. Sometimes, we have a habit of over-complicating our messaging and arguing about things that simply don't matter to those outside of our libertarian circles. Together, we discuss ways to break out of our echo chambers via grassroots and digital media and how to make liberty win again!

Bio: J. Nicholas Veser began his career at an early age on stage and in front of the camera. During his attendance at West Virginia University on a full theatre scholarship, he became interested in hospitality and worked in the industry while performing on Equity stages throughout the Northeast. His creative and leadership strengths eventually landed him Director of Business Travel Sales for The Ritz Carlton, Battery Park in Manhattan. Soon after, he was drawn to the warm weather and endless opportunity of television in South Florida. He began his career with an International Media Company as a Creative Director and ultimately became the Senior Producer for several shows produced by the company. In 2008, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Production where he thrived in the free and creative environment that he created for the many Scriptwriters, Production Coordinators, Editors, Traffic Coordinators, and Directors of Photography. Under his leadership, the team achieved tremendous success including 32 Telly Awards won over a 5-year span. In 2014, Nicholas left his career in Production after 11 years to own and operate a successful tech company.
Although any degree of success is not without its fair share of challenges in 2015 he was faced with his most difficult hurdle yet when an unethical Florida Attorney General crippled his small family owned tech company. This only served to strengthen his resolve and he along with his wife Dawn have now become champions of the Liberty Movement in this country. Big business, political donations, and corruption led to the fight of their lives, and they have made a conscious decision to stand up in the face of injustice until the truth is revealed. Through all of his success and adversity he still considers his greatest achievement to be his 6-year-old son Ryan. Support The Brian Nichols Show

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Michael T. Hutchins, author of Irreconcilable Politics: Our Rights Under a Just Government. Michael was trained as an economist and has over thirty years of experience in finance. Much of his career was in investment banking at Salomon Brothers and UBS. He is currently the executive vice president at Freddie Mac, responsible for the investments and capital markets division. Hutchins earned his PhD in economics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
In Irreconcilable Politics, Michael explores successful models in which differing political views exist yet do not impinge on agreements being reached, and also dissects the dynamics of modern social decision-making.
Listen as we discuss the theory of “collectivity,” needed reform to government structure, and modern social decision-making in the 21st century. Later, we discuss the concepts of voluntary government and the interrelationship between political ideology and centralized governmental decisions.
We conclude by taking a closer look at collective rules, services, and decisions, and why voting, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are not in and of themselves sufficient control rights for citizens of a diverse country like the United States and discuss how our divided nation struggling to reach political agreement and how the structure of the federal and state governments interfere with this effort.

Today, I am joined yet again by Remso Martinez! He I the author of "Stay Away From The Libertarians!" and is best known for his podcast, the "Remso Republic".
Censorship and deplatforming of conservatives and libertarians once sounded like a conspiracy theory. But in recent months, we've watched as the likes of Alex Jones, InfoWars, and even Gavin McInnes have been banned from social media giants like Facebook and Twitter. Jones and his conspiracy theory site, InfoWars.com were often thought to be the only target of these media giants, however, listen as Remso and I discuss his own experience with targeted attempts by leftists and social media platforms to silence his work and pages.
If there's one thing to take away from today's episode, it's that targeted censorship of right-leaning voices isn't exclusive to conspiracy theorists and provocateurs... it can happen to anyone... even you!

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by the National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, Hannah Cox!
Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty (CCATDP) is a nationwide group of conservatives questioning whether capital punishment is consistent with conservative principles and values due to the system’s inefficiency, inequity, and inaccuracy.
Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty is a project of Equal Justice USA, a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma.
“Conservative Republicans and Libertarians are increasingly looking at the facts and deciding that the death penalty must be ended,” says Hannah. "This is especially true for younger voters on the right who are often leading the way on criminal justice reform as we become increasingly aware of the risks of executing innocent people and the opportunity costs involved with this wasteful system.”

This interview first appeared on "Bills" with Luke Scorziell found at https://theedgeofideas.com/2018/07/11/ep-39-movement-brian-nichols-libertarian/
2016 changed how the world viewed politics. This change gave prominence to the libertarian, limited-government ideology. Brian Nichols is an adamant supporter of libertarianism and the philosophy of “Don’t hurt people. Don’t take people’s stuff.” We sort through the Republican Party’s flaws, the dangers of big government, and the importance of personal responsibility.
Brian’s Background
“I really didn’t have much of a choice when it came to being involved in politics.” ~ Brian Nichols
Brian grew up in a very political household. His grandfather was the town supervisor, and his father was the county representative for his home county. While his family-life exposed him to politics, Brian has taken a very hands-on approach to the field himself.
“I’ve spent pretty much my entire life involved in some way, shape, or form of politics. I’ve loved every minute of it.” ~ Brian Nichols
Brian has served on multiple New York State Assembly and Senate Campaigns. In 2012, he was the mobile field representative for a candidate for Congress from northern New York. He’s now the associate editor at the Libertarian Republic and host of The Brian Nichols Show.
“The main goal of my show is to bring people on from all walks of life and all political persuasions to really have meaningful conversations that will help us find some common ground.” ~ Brian Nichols
Brian’s Ideological Journey
Post 2012 Election
“I found myself embracing the small “l” libertarian ideology.” ~ Brian Nichols
After serving on the congressional campaign in 2012, Brian was a very dedicated member of the GOP. However, he began to notice some libertarian tendencies easing their way into his ideology. These tendencies were a broad social acceptance with limited fiscal economics.
Parties as Vessels
“I believe parties are nothing more than vessels to bring these different ideologies into government.” ~ Brian Nichols
Brian looks to candidates like Austin Petersen, who interviewed on Bills, as using the Republican Party to promote libertarian ideology to a wider audience. He believes the role of the Libertarian Party, however, is to keep the other two parties honest.
Republican Entitlement
“You didn’t deserve our vote just for existing. You have to earn our vote.” ~ Brian Nichols
While Republicans often blame Libertarian’s from taking their votes, thus handing seats to Democrats, Brian has a different perspective. He believes the GOP must earn Libertarian votes, they are not entitled to them.
“Why do Republicans feel they automatically deserve Libertarian votes?” ~ Brian Nichols
The Republican Party, Brian says, lacks principles. Rather they have become a tribalist group calling for voters to vote for anyone with an “R” next to their name.
“There is a vast difference in ideology between Linsey Graham, Tom Cotton, and John McCain versus Rand Paul, Justin Amash, and Thomas Massey.” ~ Brian Nichols
Libertarian Misconceptions
“Don’t hurt people. Don’t take people’s stuff.” ~ Brian Nichols
Libertarianism, Brian describes, isn’t doing whatever you want. Rather, libertarianism not harming people and not taking their things. In terms of the social side, libertarians believe government should not force it’s beliefs upon it’s citizens. Individuals should be able to exercise their ideas as they see fit.
“Yes you can be a social justice warrior and be a libertarian, but that means you have to change minds. Not use government to forcibly change people’s actions.” ~ Brian Nichols
An Overreach of Government
“You’ve created a massive government that is really able to do whatever it wants without fear of recourse…and that’s insanity.” ~ Brian Nichols
Both parties should be realize, Brian tells me, that the time will come for the other side to take charge. Right now, it has been the separation of families at the border, an issue that occurred for years under Obama. But it will also be the nuclear option in the Senate during the confirmation of newly selected Judge Brett Kavanaugh, which was created by the Democrats and is now being used by the Republicans.
“Our founders must be rolling in their graves seeing the inflated Executive Branch right now.” ~ Brian Nichols
The pendulum sings both ways, Brian describes, and soon it’s going to be the other guys in power.
“Libertarians don’t see government as the arbiter of morality.” ~ Brian Nichols
Personal Responsibility
“We, as a society, have ceded so much personal responsibility to the government. We’re really at behest of government to the detriment of society.” ~ Brian Nichols
Rather than taking responsibility for our actions, we are just handing it off to the government. Brian feels that we need to stop on this track, and change our mindset to promote true positive progress without looking for the government for the solution.
Problems from Government
“We don’t have to have the government constantly meddling in our business to try to make things better. When you look at everything that was wrong with the United States, it was the government.” ~ Luke Scorziell
We discuss how many of our nation’s problems have originated from government, such as mandated discrimination by Jim Crow laws in the South.
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” ~ Milton Friedman
Masterpiece Cake Shop Case
“It’s not that religious liberty should trump LGBTQ rights. It’s that personal property rights trump the government mandate.” ~ Brian Nichols
Brian doesn’t think it’s right for the baker to refuse service to the LGBTQ couple, but he sides with the personal rights of the baker. When he is asked by people on the left why he sides that way, he flips the question on them. Would it be right for a Jewish baker to refuse to serve a Nazi group?
“We have the right, in the marketplace, to shame that person for not providing their services to an individual.” ~ Brian Nichols
The problem, Brian describes, is when government is called in to fix the situation. This leads to overregulation of everyday, voluntary transactions. He mentions the case where Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Whitehouse Director of Communications, was refused service at a restaurant. That’s their right, he says.
“Nobody should force you to provide some type of service because the government says so.” ~ Brian Nichols
American Privilege: A Lack of Perspective
Brian believes Americans forget how privileged they are, especially relative to the rest of the world.
“If we’re able to objectively look at our own position in the world and in life, that would lead to a better, more meaningful discourse.” ~ Brian Nichols
We both discuss the importance of being grateful and taking responsibility for our own success. People today believe the best person to help them to success it not themselves, but a bureaucrat in Washington, D.C.
Brian Nichols on Trump
While Brian detests many of President Trump’s actions, he has agreed with many of the policies the Trump Administration has advocated for. However, he also believes that Trump has no principles, which is part of a larger problem of combining politics and celebrity.
“I like some of what Trump does, but I think that as a personality and figurehead, he is going to do a lot more damage than he’s going to do good [to the Republican Party].” ~ Brian Nichols
Brian says it is unlikely he will vote for Trump in 2020; however, he will not vote for the Democrat candidate either.
What Could Happen in 2020?
I ask Brian if he is willing to support a Libertarian candidate at the expense of Trump in 2020. Interestingly, he cites studies saying a Democratic president and Republican Congress governs much more fiscally conservative than a Republican president.
“There have been many studies showing that the United States operates in a much more fiscally conservative manner when you have a Republican-led Congress and a Democrat in the White House.” ~ Brian Nichols
The Importance of State and Local Government
“People don’t realize that state sales tax and local property taxes are some of the most costly taxes.” ~ Brian Nichols
Rather than investing all of your political passion into federal politics, Brian advises people to first make change in their local government. The federal government, he says, was set up to get things done as slow as possible.
“Government was actually built by the framers, at the federal level, to not be productive.” ~ Brian Nichols
Patreon Questions!
Be sure to tune in to hear Brian’s answers to these questions:
With the ever increasing acceptance of Executive orders as a substitute for congressional action, do you believe America could, at some point, become a dictatorship?
If you were to run for POTUS, what would be the first item on your agenda? How would you handle it?

While David Hogg, like Carry Nation, experienced traumatic moments in their lives, does that make them more credible in terms of their advocacy for taking away law-abiding citizen's rights?
