862: What Happens to Taxes if Trump or Biden Wins in 2024?

Are you concerned about the future of our tax system under a potential Biden or Trump presidency? In today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols sits down with Steve Hayes, Chairman of Americans for Fair Taxation, to discuss the stark differences between the two candidates' approaches to taxation and the economy. What would America look like in 2028 under a Biden or Trump administration? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Steve Hayes paints a vivid picture of two parallel universes: one where Trump's pro-business, less regulatory approach leads to increased economic opportunity, more competitive American products, and higher wages; and another where Biden's government-centric, high-tax policies result in a ballooning national debt, reduced personal freedoms, and a country ruled by bureaucrats who have never held a private sector job. The contrast is striking, and the implications for our future are immense. The conversation also delves into the intricacies of the FairTax plan, which would replace the current income tax system with a national consumption tax. Hayes and Nichols discuss the challenges of incremental change in Washington, the importance of educating the public about the benefits of tax reform, and the potential for states like Georgia, Nebraska, Alabama, and North Carolina to lead the way by implementing their own versions of the FairTax. Throughout the episode, Nichols and Hayes emphasize the need for common sense solutions and the power of informed, engaged citizens to effect change. They urge listeners to get involved, stay active, and have meaningful conversations with friends and family about the issues that matter most.

829: Libertarians at a Crossroads - Foreign Policy, Principles, & The Israel-Ukraine Conundrum

Is anti-Semitism finding a new home on the political left amidst the ongoing Middle East conflict? Dr. Benjamin Ginsberg, professor of political science at Johns Hopkins University, joins Brian Nichols to discuss this alarming trend and how an unexpected alliance with the evangelical right could help combat it. But the conversation takes an intriguing turn as Brian challenges some of Dr. Ginsberg's assertions, leading to a thought-provoking exchange. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Ginsberg delves into the history of anti-Semitism's migration from the right to the left, explaining how events like the 1967 Israel-Arab War and the influx of Muslim immigrants to Western Europe played a crucial role in this shift. He also addresses the concerning rise of "anti-Zionism" on college campuses and its supposed close ties to anti-Semitism. However, Brian questions whether "anti-Zionism" always equates to anti-Semitism, citing the example of libertarians who oppose foreign aid on principle rather than prejudice. The discussion heats up as Brian and Dr. Ginsberg explore the challenges faced by libertarians in navigating foreign policy issues, particularly when it comes to supporting allies like Israel and Ukraine. They debate the importance of political realism and the need to balance non-interventionist principles with the realities of a global society. Brian argues that current foreign policy decisions may be a response to the unintended consequences of past actions, while Dr. Ginsberg maintains that support for allies is crucial in the face of threats. The conversation also touches on the state of education in the United States, with Dr. Ginsberg highlighting the lack of historical knowledge among students and the prevalence of magical thinking in a post-truth society. Brian pushes back, suggesting that the idealism of libertarians could be a positive force in shaping a more peaceful future, but Dr. Ginsberg emphasizes the need for a more balanced approach to teaching American history, one that acknowledges both the country's flaws and its aspirations. As the discussion draws to a close, Dr. Ginsberg offers his insights on the potential long-term consequences of America's current foreign policy decisions and the hope for a future where reason and rationality prevail.

822: The School Choice REVOLUTION - Parental Power in a New Era of Education

Is a failed microschool in West Virginia the key to revolutionizing education accountability across America? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian sits down with Matt Frendewey from the Yes Every Kid Foundation to discuss how a shuttered school called The Hive Learning Academy demonstrates the true power of school choice.

820: Censorship, Concentration Camps, & Surveillance - The Dark Side of FDR & the New Deal

Did you know that FDR, one of America's most heralded presidents, censored his critics, put American minorities into glorified concentration camps, and laid the groundwork for today's surveillance state? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols sits down with Professor David Beito to discuss the untold story of FDR's war on civil liberties. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Professor Beito, a historian and author of the new book "The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights," reveals the shocking extent of FDR's hands-on involvement in violating the constitutional rights of American citizens.

The parallels between FDR's actions and current events are striking, as evidenced by the recent Twitter files exposing government attempts to discredit and censor dissenting voices.

Throughout the conversation, Brian and Professor Beito delve into FDR's legacy, challenging the narrative that he "saved" America from the Great Depression and examining his troubling record on race relations.

813: Peaceful Protesters ATTACKED - Violent Attacker FREE!?

What happens when you try to peacefully protest for medical freedom, but get violently attacked instead – and then face criminal charges? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian talks with guest Kevin Mackie about his harrowing experience defending medical freedom protesters from assault, only to have the justice system turn against him. Joining the discussion is Mackie’s lawyer, Ilya Feoktistov. Mackie recounts how he was moved to protest COVID vaccine clinics for children after researching concerns around their safety. On July 8th, 2022, his group faced a violent assault while demonstrating at a clinic in Massachusetts. Rather than defend the victims, local officials conspired to charge Mackie instead. Feoktistov provides further context around the full video evidence exonerating Mackie, though prosecutors refuse to review it. Shockingly, the actual attacker faced minimal charges thanks to a “sweetheart deal.” Meanwhile, Mackie continues battling inflated allegations that contradict documented facts. Throughout the saga spanning years now, officials leveraged trespassing and other inflated charges to target Mackie for his activism. Uncovered emails reveal coordination between police and state health officials around suppressing his protest message. The uphill legal fight continues. Nichols spotlights the politicized failings of the justice system through Mackie’s case. He issues an urgent call to action for viewers to support Mackie’s defense fund, attend the April trial, and apply public pressure however possible. This chilling abuse of authority must not go unchallenged. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

811: The Kitchen Table Strategy - Changing Minds Where It Matters Most

Can a New Revolution of Ideas Rescue America from Political Despair? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Brian Nichols dives deep into whether a grassroots movement focused on timeless truths rather than politicians could spark a national renewal. He analyzes the growing feeling of political homelessness across the spectrum and how ordinary folks are losing faith in the partisan status quo. Is there a path forward that transcends the stale left vs right culture wars? In this solo episode, Brian pushes back on the gloomy predictions he heard from a recent podcast episode. The hosts seemed resigned to an authoritarian tide that cannot be turned back. However, Brian draws hope from the liberty uprising sparked by Ron Paul. If we focus on winning hearts and minds in our communities rather than forcing top-down change, American exceptionalism can thrive again. The path to healing the fraying social fabric runs through schools, churches, and kitchen tables - not Washington D.C. As the professional political class grandstands, there are openings for governors and mayors to be closer to the people. Brian advocates for empowered citizens over bureaucrats, for activated communities over federal one-size-fits-all policies. Together, we can roll back the creeping centralized power through voluntary civic action. Grassroots charity beats bureaucratic welfare every time. Ordinary folks are aching to rediscover the lost anchors that once promoted opportunity. Clear visions straight from those facing problems first-hand can emerge to remind Americans our best days lie ahead. This is how we put society back together - through casual conversations that rekindle shared hopes. Brian invites you not to lose hope but to spread useful ideas that better real lives right now! ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

810: Charged $23K Tax to Build on My Own Land?!

Can local governments charge you thousands of dollars just to build a home on your own land? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart That's the key question explored in this episode of The Brian Nichols Show. Host Brian Nichols is joined by guest Brian Hodges, a senior attorney from the Pacific Legal Foundation, to discuss an outrageous $23,000+ fee charged to retiree George Sheetz simply for obtaining a permit to build a home. The exorbitant charge was labeled a "traffic impact mitigation fee" by El Dorado County, California. However, as Brian Hodges explains, the fee had little to do with the actual traffic impact caused by George Sheetz's modest single-family home. Instead, it was an illegal scheme by the county to generate revenue for road projects by disproportionately targeting future residents who had no say in the decision. After being stonewalled in California's state courts, the case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. As Brian Hodges outlines, the central issue is whether legislative bodies should be exempt from constitutional restraints on imposing permit fees and conditions. Based on questioning, he is cautiously optimistic that the Court will reject California's dystopian rule allowing unchecked power. A win could have major implications for reining in outrageous fees that drive up housing prices nationwide. The case has sparked surprising bipartisan support from both property rights advocates and affordable housing groups who recognize the threats posed by unlimited government overreach. As this episode makes clear, upholding constitutional checks and balances is critical, regardless of whether decisions come from an administrator or a legislative body.

809: Did We Cure Cancer & No One Notice?

Have you ever wondered if there are alternative cancer therapies beyond just chemo, radiation and surgery? What if tools existed that could actually treat or even cure cancers without the often harsh side effects of conventional approaches? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian interviews filmmaker and investigative journalist Megan Smith about her eye-opening research into possibly effective yet rarely used cancer therapies. After losing her husband to cancer and feeling his chemo treatment did more harm than good, Megan set out to uncover suppressed treatments that get to the root metabolic causes of cancer instead of just attacking cell DNA. The conversation exposes how natural substances like laetrile (B17) and innovative technologies like Dr. Burzynski’s anti-neoplastons have shown incredible results reversing late-stage cancers, even though they’ve faced massive legal and regulatory pushback. Megan also breaks down the strong connection between diet, environment, stress levels and cancer risk - explaining easy things we can all start doing today to clean up our lives and better prevent oncological diseases. Throughout the discussion, Megan emphasizes that many cancer alternatives focus on oxygenation, sugar reduction, detoxing and supporting mitochondria - whereas mainstream therapies often make patients sicker in the process. Her passion comes from a desire to provide fellow cancer sufferers and their families the hope and healing options her late husband never received. Discover the total health picture when it comes to cancer. Does this suppressed information make you rethink everything we’re told about cancer treatment and what’s possible?

808: Bill Maher EXPOSED as FAKE "Libertarian"

Will Bidenomics cripple Joe Biden’s chances at a second term? Plus, why is Bill Maher still saying he's a "libertarian"? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On today's episode, host Brian Nichols is riding solo as he dives into the Biden administration’s economic policies and how they have led to rampant inflation that is squeezing American families. Nichols highlights how the excessive government spending and expansion of the national debt under Biden have directly fueled higher prices. He slams the White House for refusing to take accountability and instead trying to paint a rosier picture of the economy. The administration touts ideas like “Bidenomics” while avoiding the true economic pain happening across the country. The episode then shifts to an appearance Patrick Bet-David made on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast. Nichols plays a clip where Maher tries to defend his “libertarian principles", but ends up exposing himself as more of a partisan Democrat. Nichols argues that Maher uses the label for edginess without understanding what it truly means. He contrasts this with the consistent libertarian principles espoused by Ron Paul. Nichols ends by emphasizing the importance of believing people when they tell you who they are. He says many so-called “David Boaz libertarians” on Twitter fail to meet voters where they are on the issues. In contrast, Nichols positions himself as a “Ron Paul libertarian” focused on real solutions instead of virtue signaling.

807: Systemic FAILURE - Why is this Ex-Cop Calling for Citizens to Battle Police Corruption!?

Has policing in America become too militarized and corrupt? Former LEO Dr. Byron Davis pulls back the curtain in this hard-hitting interview. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Dr. Byron Davis has a unique perspective as both a former law enforcement officer and an activist lobbying for police reform. In this interview, host Brian Nichols digs deep into the root causes behind growing claims of overreach and corruption. What structural flaws allow bad actors to repeatedly infiltrate the ranks? Can citizens really enact change against police unions and entrenched political interests? Davis traces much of today’s problems to a lack of proper accountability. Without term limits for appointed positions, cronyism spreads as reform attempts face institutional blockade. He argues everyday citizens can spark real investigations through coordinated FOIA requests - resulting already in some Tennessee resignations and ongoing TBI probes. The controversial policy of civil asset forfeiture demonstrates overfinancialization incentives according to both Nichols and Davis. Designed to hurt drug traffickers, it often ensnares regular citizens carrying cash while providing slush funding for some departments. Complete abolishment legislation could find broad non-partisan appeal. Back the Blue? Davis suggests nationwide training and hiring standards would reduce incidents of misconduct. Culturally, some tradeoff exists between effective interdiction of organized crime and preservation of civil liberties - particularly in jurisdictions along major drug transit routes. Responsible leaders must manage that balance carefully in light of rising cartel infiltration. Overall an insightful look behind the Thin Blue Line with a whistleblower unafraid to call corruption where he sees it. There are glimmers of hope though if enough citizens awaken to diligently exercise their oversight authority starting at the local ballot box. Can the system still reform itself - or is the institutional rot now simply too deep? ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

806: Grid-Locked - Is the Power Grid America's Fatal Flaw?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the US power grid failed? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we explore that question and more with special guest Robert Bryce - host of the Power Hungry podcast. They start off discussing the fragility of the US electric grid, using the 2021 Texas blackouts from Winter Storm Uri as a case study. Bryce explains how the crony capitalist approach to electricity pioneered by Enron made systems more vulnerable to disruption in California. He also argues for the need to embrace nuclear power to ensure grid reliability and meet climate goals. The two delve into energy subsidies, with Bryce highlighting how solar and wind get hundreds of times more federal funding per unit of energy than nuclear power and other sources. He calls this distortion of the market "terrible for the poor and middle class." When it comes to solutions, Bryce asserts that strong, bipartisan federal government support for nuclear is essential. On threats to the grid, Bryce warns that it is vulnerable not just to severe weather events, but also physical attacks, cyber-attacks, and even internal sabotage by environmental groups. Yet he says many policy decisions to address undermine reliability based on emotion rather than sound engineering. Bryce concludes by emphasizing the need for clear-eyed, sober decision-making on energy and power. He plugs his new docu-series "Juice: Power Politics and the Grid" which provides an in-depth look at these issues. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

805: Grabbing the Wheel - Libertarians' Chance to Steer the GOP

The Republican Party is at a crossroads after repeated neocon failures. With Nikki Haley's campaign crashing and burning, is the establishment losing its grip? Host Brian Nichols believes constitutional conservatives and libertarians now have a golden opportunity to reshape the GOP's platform around civil liberties, fiscal responsibility, decentralization and non-interventionism. But is the window already closing? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart In today's episode, Brian discusses how the seeds of change within the GOP were planted over 10 years ago during the Tea Party movement. He explores the undercurrent of populist anger against the political elite, which has been simmering beneath the surface. Brian argues that Donald Trump tapped into this resentment during his rapid ascent, despite not being a libertarian himself. His presidency, however, paved the way for more liberty-minded leaders such as Rand Paul and Thomas Massie to be elected. Brian then shifts focus to the decline of neoconservative favorites like Nikki Haley, suggesting that their failures have cleared the path for a libertarian takeover of the GOP. He sees an urgent need to fill the policy void with a consistent small-government approach that resonates with populist and America First voters. Despite critics' views that the Trump coalition was an anomaly and things will eventually return to the status quo, Brian is convinced that the working-class citizens Trump attracted are here to stay. He believes that on issues like immigration, spending, and civil liberties, they see the efficacy of libertarian solutions over those of the traditional political establishment. Brian emphasizes the importance of focusing on shared goals such as ending wasteful wars, promoting economic freedom, prioritizing workers, and upholding civil rights. He believes that libertarians can bring together various factions within the GOP, including swing voters who want little government intervention in their lives. Brian concludes his analysis by stating that with neoconservative influence at its lowest point in three decades, this moment represents a generational opportunity for libertarians. As the establishment becomes increasingly irrelevant, he calls on principled and confident libertarian leaders to seize control of the GOP. He believes that the party that harnesses populist energy and the public's desire for sensible policies will win long-term electoral success. However, Brian raises a critical question: Is time running out for libertarians to establish their position within the party?

804: Faith, Firearms & Freedom - One Man’s Vermont Standoff

Have you ever wondered how far local governments will go to make an example out of someone they disagree with? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart In this eye-opening episode, host Brian Nichols talks to Daniel Banyai, a Vermont resident who built a firearms training facility on his rural property, only to become the target of an intense backlash from local officials, and even an alleged local Ku Klux Klan group. We learn how Daniel purchased 30 acres of land in rural Vermont to open a small firearms education facility for safety training and practice. Though he went through proper permitting procedures, the town did not approve of having a gun range so closeby. A few years later, Daniel faced organized opposition from not only the town but also an extremist group called the "Warren Switch Clan," claiming to include local KKK members. The discussion covers whether Vermont's pro-gun reputation is accurate, why Daniel refuses to back down despite endless legal battles, and what "winning" would look like in this case. Daniel explains how he realized in 2019 that the fight had become bigger than himself, after local minority groups who had experienced discrimination reached out to him for support. Daniel emphasizes the importance of accountability and using his upcoming documentary to shine a light on the shocking attitudes and behaviors still present in parts of Vermont. Though he may never gain acceptance locally, Daniel hopes to make an example through nonviolent means like protests and constitutional activities. Ultimately, it's a startling portrait of abuse of power and discrimination hiding below the surface of a supposedly progressive state.

Have you heard about CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) and how they could threaten your financial freedom? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On today's episode, Brian is once again joined by fellow entrepreneur and freedom fighter Clay Clark. Together, they break down what central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are, why leaders like Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy are speaking out against them, and what their implementation could mean for your ability to control your own money. Clay gives an in-depth explanation of the technocratic elite's plans, covering everything from programmable digital money to the quantum dot technology that could store medical records under people's skin. He connects the dots to the World Economic Forum's great reset agenda, making it clear why CBDCs must be resisted. The conversation then turns to practical action steps listeners can take right now. Clay stresses the urgent need to donate to the legal defense fund for Peter Navarro, one of Trump's top economic advisors. He also shares his compelling "Paul Revere" approach to waking up friends and family to the truth through simple phone calls.

802: Is the 2024 Election the Most Important Election of our Lifetime?

Is the 2024 election the most pivotal moment in our lifetime when it comes to preserving liberty in America? I explore why this may be our last opportunity to reverse the decades-long expansion of centralized government power that threatens Constitutional freedoms. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart In this episode, host Brian Nichols makes the case for why the 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be the most consequential election in our lifetime. He argues that with the massive expansion of federal power in recent decades under both parties, we are reaching an ideological precipice when it comes to issues of centralized planning versus individual liberty. Tracing the growth of government authoritarianism back to FDR's New Deal era, Brian shows how admin after admin, both Democrat and Republican, have presided over more bureaucracy, red tape, and encroachments on freedoms. He contrasts the stark differences between the two major parties, presenting 2024 as a "fork in the road" for America's future direction. Using compelling examples like soaring inflation, decaying infrastructure, and out-of-control healthcare costs, Brian demonstrates the contemporary failures of big government overreach across every facet of society. He suggests we may be creeping towards an oppressive totalitarian-style state if current trajectories continue. Inspired by America's founders who devised a system to disperse power and prevent centralized tyranny, Brian makes a his case for why this election offers perhaps the clearest ideological choice between the path towards more freedom or inevitable serfdom. He firmly states this is without a doubt the most important election of our era. A must-listen episode for any freedom-loving citizen.

801: Buried in Waste - Using Tech to Dig Our Way Out of the Trash Pileup

With global waste projected to rise 70% by 2050, we're facing a trash avalanche of epic proportions. So how do we stop our cities from being buried in waste? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian digs deep with pioneering waste data expert Electra Coutsoftides, CEO of waste solutions firm X Works, on how data analytics can help propel cities toward a zero-waste future. They explore the overlooked world of global waste trading, where recyclables and waste commodities are imported and exported on a massive scale that will shock you. Electra explains how the EU is demanding digital passports to track waste origins and destinations. X Works provides software to meet these emerging regulations. Their platform also uses AI to analyze images of waste and identify mismatches between claimed and actual materials. This mitigates illegal dumping by verifying credibility along the supply chain. A key threat they are combatting is waste trading scams that cost companies huge sums of money. Scammers promise access to waste materials in exchange for large upfront deposits, then disappear with the cash. X Works certification and verification protects traders. This transparency and accountability will be crucial for managing the waste crisis ahead. Looking locally, Electra discusses X Works partnerships with US logistics firms to bring their waste-tracking solutions stateside. With Brian’s firsthand view of overflowing trash in the streets of Philadelphia, it is clear smart waste policies are needed to avoid drowning in our own waste. X Works offers a technology-driven path ahead through the trash pileup projected in our collective future.

800: The COVID Awakening - When Doctors Started Asking Questions

What if everything we were told about COVID-19 was wrong? Today's guest is blowing the lid off the COVID narrative. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart When COVID-19 first emerged, the medical community scrambled to understand this mysterious new virus. As a hospitalist working on the frontlines, Richelle Voth witnessed firsthand how protocols like Remdesivir failed to improve patient outcomes. After researching alternative therapies, she began utilizing repurposed drugs like Ivermectin with great success. However, she faced pushback for questioning official narratives. In this interview, Voth details how COVID-19 and its "accepted" treatments caused a disturbing array of neurological, cardiac, and other adverse reactions in her patients. She recounts one remarkable recovery where Ivermectin resolved acute psychosis in a patient with no other explanation. As more patients shared similar stories, Voth could no longer ignore the correlations. She explains her journey of overcoming fear to "Follow the Science". Voth provides glimmers of hope amongst the grim research emerging about COVID treatments. At her functional medicine clinic, Meehan MD, her team takes an individualized, root-cause approach to restore health in those suffering post-COVID/treatment complications. She discusses innovative lab testing and novel treatments personalized to each patient. Even for complex cases, creative medical detectives like Voth help patients reclaim their vitality. Host Brian Nichols explores why public trust in health institutions has eroded after years of shifting narratives, goalpost moving, and vilification of dissenting experts. Voth explains how physicians can rebuild trust through transparency, patient autonomy, and reclaiming the sacred patient-doctor relationship. She believes we can create positive change by giving patients ownership in their care. If you've felt gaslit by official COVID responses or are struggling with lingering symptoms, don't miss this empowering conversation. Richelle Voth brings integrity, clinical wisdom, and hope that recovery is possible, even from adverse treatment reactions.

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Could critical infrastructure already be held hostage by silent cyberwars secretly unfolding behind the scenes? On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian interviews cybersecurity expert Cyrus Nooriala on escalating cyber threats. Together they unpack and examine the precarious lack of security pervading both personal technology and business networks, leaving users and companies dangerously exposed. Delving into ominous examples like the Stuxnet virus and recent Iranian utility hacks, Nooriala outlines the constant probing of systems by state actors seeking leverage in global conflicts. With references ranging from Soviet tyranny to the suspicious Israeli border breach preceding recent violence, he constructs a disturbing narrative of cyber warfare rapidly intensifying across the Middle East and beyond. Exploring defensive fundamentals like network monitoring, penetration testing, and employee education, Nooriala stresses the multifaceted nature of business cybersecurity. He details how seemingly innocuous activities like pirated downloads can open companies to crippling lawsuits and security disasters. The conversation then begins its conclusion with a disturbing analysis of how cyber-attacks could lead to infrastructure sabotage and kinetic warfare. While cautioning that absolute privacy remains impossible given legal backdoors in commercial encryption, Nooriala argues knowledge itself creates crucial protection against exploitation. He urges individuals to scrutinize the true reach of household technology, warning device cameras and microphones enable mass warrantless surveillance by Big Tech and government alike.

789: The COVID Pandemic's Surprising Silver Lining - Fueling the School Choice Movement

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart A landmark new poll shows a monumental shift - with 2/3 of parents now supporting school choice, signaling a major change in the conversation around education options for families. Brian Nichols welcomes Matt Frendewey, an education reformer with 15 years experience, to discuss a new YouGov poll showing overwhelming support for school choice. The 2020 pandemic exposed problems in traditional public schools, leading many parents to explore new options. Enrollment numbers show more families moving to charter, private, homeschooling and microschools. The poll found strong majorities support ending zip code-based school assignment, expanding education savings accounts (ESAs) and expanding education tax credits. This support crossed partisan lines and was especially high among Black and lower-income Americans. More states are responding by passing new and expanded school choice laws. Matt explains how the education system was founded on racist beliefs about the "inherited ability" to sort children. It remains focused on the system over individual students and their needs. The teachers union continues to defend this outdated model, while even many teachers are fleeing to start alternative schools. Attacks on homeschooling signal establishment fears about empowering parents. Brian and Matt discuss how culture shapes policy - the shift in public opinion will drive more political changes favoring school choice at the state level. Matt predicts funding will become more flexible and portable, not limited to public-to-private transfers. Barriers like zip code restrictions will eventually fail to meet family demand. To conclude, Matt invites listeners to get involved lobbying their states if on the cusp of passing new laws, and to partner with Yes. Every Kid. Foundation. & Brian promotes his school choice bumper stickers and merch, promoting parent power over educational freedom. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

782: The Ideal Voter Persona - Who Libertarians Should Target in 2024

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!" Libertarian politics can be frustrating. Brian Nichols has the solution on how to spread the message more effectively. On this solo episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian tackles a common issue libertarians face - no one listening when they discuss their political beliefs. He explains it's not the just messenger, but the audience, and libertarians need to identify their Ideal Voter Persona (IVP). Brian outlines 3 types of voters libertarians should target: the disillusioned voter tired of the two parties, the politically "homeless" independent thinker, and the libertarian base wanting less government. To win these groups over, Brian advises focusing messaging on shared values and pragmatic solutions, not just political philosophy. He evaluates the strategies of several libertarian presidential candidates like Josh Smith, Michael Rectenwald, Mike ter Maat, Jacob Hornberger and Chase Oliver. Brian critiques their outreach and recommends concentrating on 2-3 issues like inflation and dissatisfaction with the two major parties. Brian stresses presenting libertarianism as an attainable alternative. Don't just tout policies, explain their real-life impact on voters. He uses eliminating the Department of Education as an example - discuss the implications for students. Brian says no candidate is perfect, so libertarians should work together respectfully to improve messaging and outreach. Infighting will only turn voters away. Brian challenges libertarians to focus on inclusive, collaborative solutions over petty internal conflicts. He uses a car dealership analogy to illustrate how buyers will be wary of obvious dysfunction. To earn votes, libertarians must run unified campaigns that clearly communicate benefits to voters. Brian says the libertarian message itself is strong, but outreach must improve to achieve electoral success. This introspective solo episode provides pragmatic advice for spreading the libertarian message. Brian draws on his media expertise to outline specific steps for broadening the appeal of libertarianism.

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!" Get ready for a fiery discussion on medical freedom, Big Pharma tyranny, and why RFK Jr. could be the perfect storm in the 2024 presidential election. Brian Nichols welcomes Kevin Jenkins, an advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to discuss RFK Jr.'s independent presidential run. They provide context around why RFK Jr. is seen as a major threat to both establishment parties, given his outspoken criticism of the COVID-19 response and refusal to bow to corporate interests. Jenkins argues RFK Jr. has the courage to fight the globalists and "tell the American people the truth." He cites examples like RFK Jr's focus on medical racism, parental rights, border security, and reparations. While not perfect, Jenkins says RFK Jr.'s boldness is waking people up worldwide. Nichols and Jenkins touch on how RFK Jr. was proven right about COVID-19 vaccines not stopping transmission. They discuss medical apartheid and how RFK Jr. has consistently stood against vaccine mandates. Jenkins argues RFK Jr. "shook up the world" by questioning the official narrative. Looking ahead to 2024, Jenkins lays out a blueprint for RFK Jr. to win, arguing he must stay hyper-focused on "America First" issues rather than get distracted by consultants. They discuss a potential Trump-Kennedy ticket uniting against the "corporatocracy." In the end, both Nichols and Jenkins express optimism that brave leaders like RFK Jr. can help preserve America's constitutional republic. Jenkins closes with a call to action for all patriots to join the fight by supporting leaders not beholden to the globalists. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

780: Surviving DOOMSDAY - When Disaster Strikes, Will You Be Ready?

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!" Are you prepared for disaster? Learn how to survive economic collapse, pandemics, and loss of law and order from retired Air Force Colonel Drew Miller of Fortitude Ranch. In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols interviews Dr. Drew Miller, founder of Fortitude Ranch, America’s largest survival community. They discuss how to prepare for disasters like economic collapse, pandemics, loss of law and order, and other scenarios. Miller explains that new technologies like AI, nanotech and biotech are increasing the likelihood of catastrophes that could lead to collapse. Miller warns that threats like solar flares, cyber attacks, EMPs or bio-weapons could take down critical infrastructure like the power grid. With 90% of the population unprepared, the death toll could be massive. He criticizes the lack of government action to harden the grid against EMPs. Miller also alerts listeners to the coming H5N1 avian flu pandemic, which the WHO confirms is now spreading amongst cats in Poland near the Russian border. Nichols and Miller explore how the massive size of government has made critical systems vulnerable. With bio-labs worldwide, regulating biotech is impossible. Miller argues that gain-of-function virus research, though intended for good, enables individuals to engineer deadly pandemics. Survival will go to politicians in bunkers, criminals, and groups like Fortitude Ranch. Miller explains how Fortitude Ranch provides affordable survival community memberships starting at $1000 per person annually. With 7 locations currently and expanding through franchising, Fortitude Ranch features lodging, food, training, ranges, and recreation. Members vacation up to 2 weeks a year for free at any location. Miller emphasizes that city dwellers especially need a bug-out plan and location. He advises relocating to rural areas and joining preparedness networks.

774: Why is this Libertarian Taking on Lauren Boebert in Colorado?!

Libertarian candidate James Wiley is stirring up Colorado politics by challenging incumbent Congresswoman Lauren Boebert - hear why he believes Boebert has failed to uphold her so-called "values". In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols interviews James Wiley, the Libertarian candidate running against incumbent GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 3rd district. The race is already shaking up Colorado politics, as Wiley accuses Boebert of abandoning her campaign promises. Nichols and Wiley discuss the controversial agreement between the Libertarian Party of Colorado and state Republicans, in which the LP agreed not to run candidates against GOP incumbents who pledged to uphold libertarian principles. Boebert refused, opening the door for Wiley's challenge. Wiley argues Boebert falsely claimed to support liberty and has failed to hold the government accountable. Wiley lays out his platform focused on election integrity, investigating Covid crimes, and fighting child trafficking. He believes the Libertarian Party must overthrow and replace the GOP in Colorado to create real change. Nichols reflects on the need for people to speak out against problems rather than rationalize them away, using poor conditions in blue cities as examples. Wiley states his goal is to eliminate the federal government entirely and shares his vision for an inevitable libertarian paradise with personal responsibility and freedom. He asks for support from voters interested in shaking up the status quo. Nichols and Wiley also discuss the importance of grounding politics in reality.

773: Planning for Economic CRISIS - Expert Tips to Recession-Proof Your Family's Finances

With an uncertain economic future ahead, how can you protect your finances and prepare for the worst? Financial advisor Joseph Lombardi joins The Brian Nichols Show to share crucial advice your family needs to hear. Brian Nichols welcomes Joseph Lombardi, founder of IronHawk Financial, to discuss how families can financially prepare for economic uncertainty. Lombardi explains the 4 major economic risks we face: interest rates, inflation, taxes, and projected market returns. He advises viewers to budget, pay down debt, and invest in alternative assets outside the stock market. Lombardi points to the car repossession rate skyrocketing 1600% as an indicator of people overextending themselves financially. Full car lots also signal an impending downturn. Historically the car market falls, then housing, then stocks. Without savings and non-market assets, many will be caught unprepared when their home and retirement accounts lose value. To prepare, Lombardi says budget every dollar, pay down high interest debt before investing, and convert paper assets like 401Ks to liquid, tax-free, divorce-proof assets with benefits beyond just returns. Most Americans just pay fees to fund someone else's Lamborghini and get nothing in return. Lombardi warns against market volatility. Returns won't always be 10% yearly. Expect corrections. With debt and no strategy, you'll be blindsided. To eat this elephant, focus on one bite at a time. Isolate priorities, address them, then move to the next. His advice has protected clients for 20 years without losing anyone a dollar. Don't overextend yourself financially. Lombardi critiques those spending wildly on credit cards and racking up debt. Get your house in order first. Then build wealth sustainably. With expertise from an award-winning advisor, this video provides priceless advice to keep your family secure! ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being! 🎙️ Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube, Rumble, and Ben Swann's Sovren.

768: Biden White House In CRISIS - Is This The Beginning Of The End?

Is Biden's presidency unraveling? It's even worse than that, according to Scotty Saks. According to Scotty, leading military insiders predict Biden's downfall. But is America ready for what comes next? Buckle up as we analyze Scotty's take on 3 years of Biden, the disastrous fallout, where we go from here, and how to take our country back. Brian Nichols welcomes Scotty Saks, a 40-year mainstream media veteran turned whistleblower. He drops bombshells about Peter Jennings and Johnny Cash allegedly exposing media and music as "a Luciferian satanic cult.” In Scotty's view, we've been brainwashed by mainstream narratives, but Scotty's sources claim the military is quietly taking control to remove Biden and reveal the truth. Scotty describes an apparent executive order signed by Trump in his final days in office, leaving the military in charge, and leading to two factions battling for power. He believes the "White Hats" recognize Trump as the actual president and aim to expose the Deep State's supposed crimes, including stolen elections, 9/11, JFK, and more via an Emergency Broadcast System. Scotty recounts alleged eyewitness evidence of rampant pedophilia, citing his work with James Brown's band. He argues Biden is just an "actor" under Obama's supposed control, in his opinion, heading us toward a one-world government of central bank digital currency and WHO totalitarian health control. Brian emphasizes keeping an open yet questioning mindset, rather than blindly believing or dismissing conspiracies outright. He observes people bravely engaging in once-taboo discussions, moving past the narrow Overton window of allowable opinion. Brian encourages listeners to tune in and engage with unconventional perspectives while maintaining a healthy skepticism. According to him, we must avoid remaining distracted and complacent, and instead carefully consider claims like Scotty's, even if we don't ultimately agree with everything presented. Scotty concludes by urging local action and getting involved in city councils, county boards, and sheriff races to take back control. With elites supposedly captured at every level, change starts in our own backyards, he says. And while his shocking interview may alarm some listeners, we emerge with new perspectives, even if we don't agree with everything said.

767: Trump-DeSantis 2024 - The Ticket to Stop a "Fascist Coup"?

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.

766: Your Potential UNLOCKED - The NFL Exec's Secrets to Playing Offense through Adversity 🔓

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.

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?

760: Libertarians Can WIN - How This Nurse Became Mayor as a Libertarian with Over 60% of the Vote

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. By getting involved locally first, Aron built relationships door-to-door. Instead of rigid ideology, he focused his campaign on fixing local problems like high water bills and business obstacles.

734: Targeting Trump - Trump's Indictment & Republican Leadership at a Crossroads

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.

707: How the COVID Pandemic EXPOSED our Broken Education System

Are you tired of feeling like you have no control over your child's education? Have you ever wanted to take a more active role in what your child learns, but felt like you didn't have the resources to do so? Well, you're not alone. Many parents have felt the same way, and that's why on this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian sat down with Jon England, an education policy worker at the Libertas Institute, to discuss how to give parents more control when it comes to the public education system. Jon England knows a thing or two about education. He was a teacher and principal in the public school system for 14 years before shifting his focus to empowering parents. During their conversation, Jon explained how the COVID pandemic revealed the amount of coursework children were doing, and how it gave parents a chance to see what their children were learning (or not learning). This realization has caused parents to become more involved in their child's education, and Jon encourages parents to take advantage of the resources available to them. One of those resources is the Utah Fits All Scholarship, which Jon discussed on the show. This scholarship allows parents to choose how their child is educated by giving them state funding that can be used for private school tuition, tutors, micro schools, curriculum at home, and other expenses. This gives parents the power to be the consumer rather than just a passive receiver of education. Brian even reflected on his own experience, where his mother took him to kindergarten orientation, and how it emphasized the importance of parents having more control over their child's education. Parents have also discovered that homeschooling can be more beneficial for their children, as it takes less time and allows them to build stronger relationships with their kids. The pandemic has forced parents to become more involved in their children's education, as they discover the benefits of homeschooling and the issues present in public schools. In Utah, parents have even fought against mask mandates when returning to school due to the pandemic, which has caused them to delve further into what is happening in the school system. So, if you're a parent who wants more control over your child's education, then this is the episode for you. Jon England and Brian Nichols discuss the resources available to parents, the benefits of homeschooling, and how the pandemic has forced parents to become more involved in their children's education. It's time for parents to take an active role in their child's education and give them the best chance for success. Don't miss this episode of The Brian Nichols Show. Learn more about your ad choices.

705: Say Goodbye to Complicated Taxes with the FairTax

Do you ever get that sinking feeling when you think about filing your taxes? It's a tedious and complicated process that takes up a significant chunk of your time and money. Well, what if we told you that there's a better way to do taxes, one that's simpler, fairer, and more efficient? On the latest episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Mike Saliba joins Brian to discuss the FairTax system, an alternative to the traditional income tax and sales tax system. This revolutionary tax system would change the way we think about taxes and potentially generate economic growth in the process. But how does it work? The FairTax system is a single point-of-sale consumption tax on new goods and services that would replace the existing income tax, gift tax, estate tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. This means that instead of paying taxes on your income, you would only pay taxes when you purchase goods and services. Sounds fair, right? Mike and Brian discuss how the FairTax system would be beneficial to the economy and create a simplified tax system. They also talk about how this system is equitable, as all individuals would pay the same amount, regardless of their income level. Plus, it would be more efficient than the current tax system, as it would reduce the number of loopholes, deductions, and credits. But that's not all! The FairTax system has bipartisan support and appeals to Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and independents alike. It would also eliminate the tax advantage of coming to the country without documentation and create a financial incentive to do so above board. So, if you're tired of the traditional income tax system and want a better way to do taxes, tune in to The Brian Nichols Show to learn more about the FairTax system.

701: Together We CAN - The Coalition Effect

Are you ready to explore the power of building coalitions to create a more free world? In this episode, Brian Nichols and Larry Sharpe dive deep into the need for building coalitions to create a more free world. Larry Sharpe, a New Yorker fighting to restore normalcy and the state, joins Brian to discuss the problems with the current political system. They explore how building coalitions can be used to accomplish certain goals and how it could help us move beyond the never-ending feud between Democrats and Republicans. The conversation then shifts to the need for centralization and diversification within New York State. They explore the challenges of balancing the needs of people in urban areas with those in rural areas and how we can find a compromise that benefits everyone. The discussion then moves on to suggest alternatives for the current system, such as rank choice voting, ballot access, sane gun regulations, police reform, ending the War on Drugs, and supporting local people, unions, credit unions, and coops. They explore how these alternatives can lead to a more just society and help us move beyond the current political gridlock. The conversation concludes with a suggestion that if the government owes people money, they should be allowed to use it to start a coop, with the government matching the amount, and that if a business shuts down, be allowed to buy it, so they can still keep their jobs. Larry Sharpe critiques both parties for their lack of substantive solutions, noting that the Democrats have an answer of “more money, more debt, more programs,” while the Republicans have an answer of “give me $10 a day.” He calls on people to look beyond party allegiance and take the hand that will help them out of their troubles, regardless of whether it is a capitalist, socialist, or communist solution.

688: Why Libertarians Need to Prioritize CULTURE WARS

How can cultural conversations help spread the Libertarian message? Tune into The Brian Nichols Show, where host Brian Nichols and guest Brian McWilliams of the "Mean Age Daydream" podcast discuss the power of cultural conversations in spreading the Libertarian message. McWilliams argues that Libertarians should take advantage of social media to engage people in conversations about trending topics and add their insight. He emphasizes that culture leads politics and engaging in cultural conversations is essential for political success. Nichols agrees and adds that Libertarians often have fun conversations about culture that can help spread the Libertarian message. But it's not just about having fun conversations. Nichols and McWilliams discuss the importance of prioritizing culture wars over election campaigns to spread the Libertarian message. They emphasize the need for leaders that people can look up to and emulate, rather than those who are "hot messes." They cite a recent podcast episode about beloved author Roald Dahl as an example of how engaging in cultural conversations can help spread the Libertarian message. The conversation also touches on how culture is impacting discussions about the COVID-19 pandemic, with McWilliams pointing out how the New York Times published an opinion piece that allowed a discussion of the effectiveness of masks. Culture is being used to discuss how to live our lives, run our businesses, and educate our children, making cultural conversations essential for political success. Nichols also shares his experience making YouTube shorts that have been successful in engaging people, even if they love or hate the content. He emphasizes the importance of using social media to get people engaged and shares a meme of a woman working out numbers in her head as an example of how people engage with content. So if you want to learn how to spread the Libertarian message through cultural conversations, tune into The Brian Nichols Show.

Are you tired of conflicting information about masks and their effectiveness in preventing the spread of respiratory illnesses? Look no further than The Brian Nichols Show!

But why were we forced to wear masks for so long without concrete evidence of their effectiveness? The Brian Nichols Show isn't afraid to ask the tough questions and challenge the mainstream experts and pundits who were wrong about mask mandates.

631: Fact Don't Care About Feelings...?

"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. OH!! By the way... are you a candidate or thinking of tossing your hat in the ring this coming 2023 election cycle?

630: Selling Libertarianism at the Thanksgiving Dinner Table

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.

628: Can We Sell More Liberty By Saying Less?

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.

625: Activists vs Candidates Who's Most Effective??

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.

624: Americans HATE Each Other - And That's a Problem

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

I'm sure you've heard that libertarianism is the political philosophy of selfishness and anarchy. But what if I told you that it's not?

On today's episode, I present a series of reasons why libertarianism offers some brilliant solutions to many of the world's problems. We'll talk about 5 ways in which libertarianism can save humanity: Libertarianism recognizes the beauty and importance of individual identity and freedom Libertarian education reforms will help children focus on true education versus blind indoctrination Libertarian taxation reforms would unleash economic growth and prosperity by eliminating corporate loopholes while empowering entrepreneurs/business owners Libertarian policies eliminate government overreach, allowing individuals and their communities to have more autonomy Libertarianism can help prevent nuclear war" What are your thoughts?

621: 3 Biases Faced When Selling Liberty

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.

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...

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jason Loftus, filmmaker and director of Eternal Spring (2022).

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.

601: Nuclear Energy & the Future Nuclear-Based Power - Nuclear Solutions for Energy Independence & Planetary Prosperity

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.

591: To Sell Freedom, Listen More

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.

574: 4 EFFECTIVE Sales Pitches from 4 Former Presidents

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.

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 (www.reliancecollege.org).

565: The Reasons to Celebrate Liz Cheney's Loss are MANY

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.

564: What Ron Paul Taught Us About Speaking Truth (Even When the Crowd Seems Against You)

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!

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.

536: Proud To Be an American - Why Libertarians & Conservatives Need to Be Unashamedly America First

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.

533: The 90-Degree Turn - Remaking Washington D.C. and Turning the Federal Government on its Head! (w/ JB Fred Eberlein)

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

529: Don't Be Fooled - Colorado Governor Jared Polis is No Moderate or Libertarian (ANALYSIS)

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.

528: It's Official: Biden is the Worst President of the 21st Century! (with Sen. Ted Harvey)

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

525: Messaging Matters - Why Libertarians Have Continued to Lose the Battle for Hearts & Minds (feat. Brian Nichols)

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.

524: Why is This Liberty REPUBLICAN Running to Reclaim his Old State Senate Seat in Maine? (w/ Eric Brakey)

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.

523: The Art of Influence (How if You're Winsome, You May Win Some!) (w/ Chris Widener)

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

520: Could the FAIRtax Ultimately Lead to Abolishing the IRS!? (w/ Steve Hayes)

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.

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." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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." Learn more about your ad choices.

514: Policing Bodies: Law, Sex Work, and Desire in Johannesburg (w/ India Thusi)

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

512: You Need To Be More Assertive, Dammit!

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.

511: The Zombie Economics of Inflation and Unemployment (w/ Prof. Alex Salter)

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.

509: How Do We Fix the Old, Broken Libertarian Messaging? (Brian Nichols on In Liberty & Health)

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?

505: The United States and its Long History of "Misinformation" (w/ Caleb Franz)

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.  Today, Caleb Franz returns to the program to outline misinformation throughout history, and the role free speech plays in fighting actual misinformation.

"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.

499: Capitalizing on the Parallel Economy & Defeating Wokeness (with Michael Seifert of PublicSq)

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I'm joined by Michael Seifert (CEO + Founder of PublicSq.) joins the program to introduce PublicSq - a platform that is connecting freedom-loving Americans with local community, reliable information, and the businesses that share their values. "There is a whole separate economy emerging for the people that are just tired of the wokeness. And they just want a break. 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. Our kind of mission is how can I help the one location coffee shop feel that same sort of magic, And it's been pretty cool to see that come to life." Learn more about your ad choices.

498: How to Talk About Roe v. Wade / Abortion without Tempers Flaring (with Olivia Rondeau)

The conversation towards abortion/Roe v. Wade has always been a heated discussion... but does it have to be that way? 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',  As we go more and more polarized and more and more separate, you'll see that, as we demonize each other, the situation does not solve itself."

497: Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom! (with Dr. Patrick Moore)

Returning to The Brian Nichols Show today is Dr. Patrick Moore (Author, "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom") to discuss how most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject - to tell them the truth.

Today on The Brian Nichols Show, Clint Russel (Host, Liberty Lockdown) returns to the program to help outline the top-3 issues we libertarians/liberty world should be focusing on in order to meet people where they're at on the issues they care about - specifically with an election less than 6 short months away! "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.

493: Can't Sell, Won't Sell - Advertising, Politics, & Culture Wars (with Steve Harrison)

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."

492: How is this Libertarian Candidate Fighting Back Against Local Career Politicians? (with Tara Murphy)

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." Learn more about your ad choices.

"I think that the big basket, of course, is that the Democratic Party and the and the Republican Party have gone off the rails in terms of their respect for the Constitution. 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.

"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.

489: It Didn't Have To Be This Way: How a Crumbling Economy Will Cause More Death than COVID-19 (from April 2020)

*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!

He knows how to how to reach people - he listens to them. 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 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.

That's what they're trying to get at with this rule. It does not actually touch home building. But it touches everything around it to the point that they're trying to just raise the cost and complexity of building a gun yourself.

479: What Does the Senate’s $52 Billion Bill Mean For U.S. Microchip Manufacturing? (with Lewis Black)

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." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

476: Unleashing the Power of Educational Entrepreneurialism! (with Kerry McDonald)

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.

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. So those of you interested in libertarian ideas, a lot of organizations like talk about it. But then when it actually comes to living those values, we have built our organization to operate in that way." - Joshua Eakle, Global Marketing Director of Students For Liberty Learn more about your ad choices.

469: Why This Chinese Immigrant Fears the United States is on a Path to Communism (with Lily Tang Williams)

“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? Lily is now seeking the GOP primary for Congress in New Hampshire, with the goal of helping to "Keep the American Dream Alive".

468: Upending Outdated Approaches to Medical Research & Enabling Universal Access to Medical Care with the CURE Chain (with Jim Nasr & Jacob Beckley)

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

465: Social Media Censorship Laws Will Backfire! (with Steve DelBianco from NetChoice)

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.   NetChoice.org has addition information on the importance of protecting “Content Moderation” freedom: https://netchoice.org/category/content-moderation/ Learn more about your ad choices.

464: The Blue Divide: Policing and Race in America (with Will Moravits, PhD)

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.

463: Time and Beauty: Why Time Flies and Beauty Never Dies (with Dr. Adrian Bejan)

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.

A decentralized autonomous organization, more commonly known as a DAO is raising the $4 billion USD in capital needed to acquire the Broncos. One of the major players spearheading the efforts is Sean O’Brien. Sean joins the program to discuss buying the Denver Broncos, who are valued at just under $4 billion USD, making for the largest price tag in the history of North American sports. If they successfully bought the franchise, it would give people partial ownership of the team and they will be given the ability to control how the team is governed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Frustration. Confusion. Anxiety. Despair. These are the symptoms of sensory overload, a state of mind in which we increasingly find ourselves. We’re drowning in data supplied by entities with no regard for our best interests.  Your intellectual freedom is at stake, threatened by everything from academia and Big Tech to the media and government. Fortunately, you have a way to take back personal control, and it’s a solution founded upon ancient philosophy.  In Restoring Reason, philosopher Dr. Travis Corcoran demonstrates how the liberal arts provide us with a skillset to evaluate knowledge and draw our own conclusions for clarity, confidence, and freedom. Dr. Corcoran explains the trivium—knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—and the foundation it lays for making high-quality decisions for a high-quality life. Restoring Reason is an intellectual self-defense manual to make sense of the world we live in. Including an analysis of the five biggest social engineers today, including corporate interests and legacy media, this reproducible, systematic framework will help you see truth, deny falsehoods, and lead a fulfilled, independent life.  Learn more about your ad choices.

459: Fighting Addiction with The Freedom Model (with Mark Scheeren)

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.

428: Próspera: The Most Libertarian Business and Living Environment in the World -with Joel Bomgar

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.

421: THROWBACK: Foreign Policy Realism -with Pratik Chougule (January, 2020)

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.

418: THROWBACK: How Libertarians Can Win (January, 2020)

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.

417: THROWBACK: How to Have Impossible Conversations (January, 2020)

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 [email protected] 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.

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."

396: Cutting Through the Clutter -with Art Sobczak

Art Sobczak: "The only way to cut through the clutter is to have a message that is going to resonate with the prospect and what's going on in their world, right at that very moment." If you want to have more opportunities to sell your solution, service, or idea, it starts with being smart and focusing on who you're selling to versus what it is that you're selling! Art Sobczak is a renowned sales legend, author of "Smart Calling: Eliminate the Fear, Failure, and Rejection from Cold Calling", and host of The Art of Sales Podcast and joins the program to show us how talking about the issues we care about is far less effective than talking about the issues our prospect cares about.

395: THROWBACK: From Leftist to Libertarian -with Steffi [Cole] Petersen (August, 2019)

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!

389: We Need to Stop Looking at Politics as a Hobby -with Marc Clair

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."

388: THROWBACK: Dismantling the Two-Party System by Changing the Way We Vote -with Aaron Hamlin (August, 2019)

After a whirlwind of a week, I'm finally getting back into the swing of things... so, today will feature one of our "THROWBACK" episodes, and then getting back into the swing of things before Thanksgiving with two AMAZING conversations dropping... One with good friend and leader of the fearless crew at the Lions of Liberty, Marc Clair, talking about his journey away from the world of politics and instead towards personal development. The other is with Justin Goodman from the White Coat Waste Project who digs into the Fauci #BeagleGate insanity, the insane places your tax dollars go (like animal testing!), and the true origins of COVID-19 (hint, it's not a bat). 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.

383: What Has Happened to Australia?! -with Stuart from LibertyDownUnder.

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.

381: THROWBACK: A Conversation with Congressman Justin Amash (June, 2019)

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: "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.

367: THROWBACK: Government Stinks. See How "We Do Better" -with Rick Rivkin

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.

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!

339: THROWBACK: Irreconcilable Politics: Our Rights Under a Just Government (feat. Michael T. Hutchins)

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.

293: Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -with Larry Sharpe

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." -Larry Sharpe Support our sponsors!

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.

241: To Sell Freedom, Tell Better Stories -with Matt Kibbe

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.

240: The Unified Theory of Scare Stories -with Dr. Patrick Moore

What are the two emotions that drive buyers into action? Love and...? Fear.

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.

236: Did we go too far with COVID Lockdown Messaging? -with Max Gulker

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?

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.

231: Sunday Candidate Highlight Series- New Jersey Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Gregg Mele.

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.

"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.

Nolan Gray is a housing researcher at UCLA, a former NYC city planner, host of the YouTube "Pop Culture Urbanism" (where he dissects housing & city questions from famous movies & TV shows), and joins the program to specifically address California's extreme environmental laws and where they ended up exacerbating the very problems they were seeking to address.

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.

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.

With the recent shutdowns in Texas due to the massive winter storm and associated power outages, the idea of energy independence is back at the top of people's minds.

Jack Kerfoot is a scientist, energy executive and author of FUELING AMERICA: An Insider’s Journey, and joins the show to make his case that climate change and energy independence requires us removing government roadblocks to the development of new renewable energy projects, and providing incentives to attract the people and resources necessary.

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!

177: The New Honor Code: A Simple Plan for Raising Our Standards and Restoring Our Good Names -with Grant McCracken

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.

176: Guerrilla Politics: How Libertarians can Take on the Duopoly and Win -with Curt (Libertarian)

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.

174: Have We Been Here Before? -with Professor Jim Morone

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: Breaking Boundaries with Brad Polumbo: Join Brad Polumbo as he interviews top writers, politicians, and thinkers from all across the political spectrum to give you a new perspective you won't find in the mainstream liberal media or right-wing echo chambers.

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?

135: Can Criminal Justice Reform Go too Far?- with Ken Good

134: Zac Efron's "Down to Earth" Misses the Mark -with Alex Epstein

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!

131: Is Austin Petersen Voting for Trump? -with Austin Petersen

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.

130: The Riots and their Lasting Damage -with Brad Polumbo

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.

129: Breaking the Duopoly by Changing How We Vote -with Aaron Hamlin

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. Listen as Aaron outlines his voting system vision, the impact that changing our voting systems will have on third party candidates' electoral success, and the current successes Aaron and team have had in already changing voting systems in major cities (with great success!).

125: A Free-Market Approach to Urban Policy -with Scott Beyer

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.

109: COVID-19 vs. the Economy: Could A Crumbling Economy Cause More Death than COVID-19? -with Economist Daniel J. Michell

101: Deplatformed- How Big Tech Companies & Corporate America Subvert the Second Amendment with Sam Jacobs from Ammo.com

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!

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 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

99: An Introduction to Dr. Jo Jorgensen- LP Presidential Candidate

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.

98: Election 2020- How Libertarians Can "Win"

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.

97: Rethinking American Foreign Policy/War with Iran? with Pratik Chougule

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.

96: How to Have Impossible Conversations

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 [email protected] or tag me on social media (@BNicholsLiberty both on Twitter and on Facebook).

94: Criminal Justice Reform and Why it Matters (with Conner Drigotas)

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.

He is also an adjunct professor at Lehigh University where he teaches business communications.

90: Todd Hagopian (Libertarian-in-Chief) for Libertarian Party Chair!

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!).

89: School Choice and Why it Matters

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.

88: A Christian Conservative's Case Against Social Progressivism

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.

87: How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship) with Remso Martinez

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.

81: Should Mass Shooters Get the Death Penalty? with Hannah Cox from CCATDP

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.” Hannah's First Appearance on TBNS: https://briannichols.fireside.fm/34 To learn more about CCATDP, go to www.conservativesconcerned.org.

80: From Leftist to Libertarian with Steffi Cole

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!

79: Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Arvin Vohra on Past Controversies, Messaging, and Recruitment

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.

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!

72: A Conversation with Congressman Justin Amash

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. Follow Congressman Amash on Twitter: https://twitter.com/justinamash Support The Brian Nichols Show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

70: Government Stinks. See How "We Do Better" with Rick Rivkin

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.

68: "The Rebellion" with Banks and Shane

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!

67: Kibbe on Liberty with Matt Kibbe

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.

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.

63: The Separation of School and State with Mathbot.com

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.

57: Ask a Democratic Socialist with Keith Rubino

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!

56: The Tragedy in Venezuela- with Hillary Andaluz Aguilar

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.

BONUS- Brian Nichols on the New Congress and the Presidential Field in 2020 from The Wrighters Block

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.

47: Libertarians in the Armed Services and Ignorance in Politics with Michael Autery

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.

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.

40: Marketing Liberty with Nicholas Veser

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! Find Nicholas Online- Website: https://libertylinkmedia.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NicholasVforLiberty/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/nicholas_veser 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 Learn more about your ad choices.

39: Irreconcilable Politics: Our Rights Under a Just Government with Michael T. Hutchins

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.

37: Censorship Online Can Happen to You with Remso Martinez

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!

9: David Hogg, Carry A. Nation, Gun Control, and Prohibition

On today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian digs into the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, including the push from those survivors push for gun control. In this episode, Brian breaks down the eerily similar parallels that exist between the likes of the modern gun control movement and the Prohibition movement of the early 20th century. 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? Do we ignore the potential unintended consequences of policy when we believe that the policy is moral, noble, virtuous, and just?
