Leslie Corbly and I talk through a brief history of the Christian worldview's influence on the Republican Party, and how that has changed under the last decade with Donald Trump as its head.

What do you think of when you hear the words sex trafficking? Maybe your mind goes to 2012 in Uganda when the warlord Joseph Kony kidnapped tens of thousands of girls or the daring rescues of Tim Ballard shown in Sound of Freedom. Now, the words "sex trafficking" are being associated with Puff Daddy. These accounts of the suffering of women and men undergoing commercial sexual exploitation dominate our media and mental images, but they're not the norm. The reality is that what was once called sex trafficking is happening in our own neighborhoods, and my guest, Mark Steenbarger of Point of View Story, is a filmmaker who works to liberate those trapped in a cycle of abuse. He shares with us the typical face of commercial sexual exploitation, what is being done to fight it, and how we can be vigilant with our own kids.   Point of View Story Website - https://www.pointofviewstory.com Do you have comments or questions about this episode?

Caleb Franz is the host of Profiles in Liberty and author of "The Conductor: The Story of Rev. John Rankin, Abolitionism's Essential Founding Father," and he joins us to discuss Rankin's Presbyterian upbringing in the South, his passionate opposition to slavery, and the influential letters he wrote to his brother, which sparked a broader public dissection of the institution of slavery. These writings, akin to 'The Federalist Papers' of abolitionism, played a crucial role in shaping the abolitionist movement, impacting figures like William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Franz also explores Rankin's challenges, including physical threats and societal opposition, underscoring his importance as a unifying figure whose efforts transcended abolitionism. The episode delves into Franz's book's origin and evolution, Rankin's legacy's impact, and the importance of acknowledging the contributions of figures lost to history.

For years on this program, we've said that the best way to make change in our area is through something other than government action or even through starting a business... It is through a voluntary organization like a nonprofit. After a friend was killed in his neighborhood, Joe Garrison and a few other neighbors formed the North Shadeland Alliance to find ways to quell crime. In the process, they also built community, aided hungry neighbors, and built political power to get the attention of once-inattentive city officials. It was far easier than expected, and this story will greatly inspire listeners.

John England, an Education Policy Analyst from the Libertas Institute, joins me again to discuss A.I. in education. While there are concerns about students' reliance on A.I. like ChatGPT for homework, we discuss how A.I. does not necessarily degrade education and can be used effectively for idea generation and refining writing projects. John also mentions useful A.I. tools like Khan Academy's Conmigo, an A.I. chatbot for teaching math. They further highlight the need for critical thinking in using A.I., especially with A.I. possibly providing information that may be 80% correct. Furthermore, they discuss how A.I. could potentially alleviate issues with overcrowded classrooms by serving as a personalized tutor.

I recently hosted Joe Gulesserian, author of 'The Practical MBA on Economics', to discuss the evolving topic of artificial intelligence. We discussed both positive and negative impacts of AI on various industries and professions, from manufacturing and programming to white-collar work and even espionage. Joe also expressed concerns about the potential for extensive job loss and universal basic income in a society dominated by AI. However, he wonders if we could possibly see a more efficient world with a shorter work week. The conversation raises intriguing questions about the future of work, the economy, and society in the age of A.I.

Andrew Wilson, author of 'Remaking the World', a book that offers a fresh perspective on the year 1776, outlines how this pivotal moment in history shaped the modern post-Christian West.

I was on a road trip and dropped in on my friend Kris Bex. He is one of the most well-read libertarians I know, and I wanted to ask him, "How does someone discover their own first principles?"

Kris gives his perspective on why someone needs to understand their own fundamental principles, and what process they can use to do it.  Join our Patreon now for commercial-free shows, bonus content and our complete archives - https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians --- Q Sleep Spray assists in achieving a more restful sleep so you can wake up refreshed.

Still, he has some blistering critiques for other libertarian thinkers, and I've invited him on to discuss his new book "Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" in an effort to find points of agreement and disagreement.  Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed - https://amzn.to/3ppnKmK  Video - https://youtu.be/5VOHWGu9vSk Transcript - https://share.descript.com/view/vqZ3sA1LNAm Join our Patreon now for commercial-free shows, bonus content and our complete archives - https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians --- Q Sleep Spray assists in achieving a more restful sleep so you can wake up refreshed.

A new ATF rule reclassifies firearms equipped with pistol braces as short-barreled rifles, implying that brace owners are looking at felony criminal charges if they are not registered with the ATF. It also imposes increased taxation on firearms and accessories equipped with these braces. Parker McCumber, an OEF veteran, joins me to explain how this hits disabled veterans the hardest.  https://youtu.be/ukr0BbJ8wkY The pistol brace is a device that allows a firearm to be strapped onto a user's arm and was initially created for disabled veterans to fire recreationally and in competition with only one arm. The ATF and the Department of Justice claimed that pistol braces are being found and commonly used in more shootings and gang activities. However, Parker explained that pistol braces do not make firearms more lethal and that this new rule is suppressing the ability of disabled American veterans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.  The ATF has projected 40 million pistol brace accessories on legally purchased firearms, which could mean tens of millions of gun owners becoming felons over this new rule. However, there is some optimism that the rule may be overturned, as the Fifth Circuit Appeals Court recently ruled that the bump stock ban was an unconstitutional usurpation of authority from Congress by the ATF. Parker McCumber is an OEF Veteran, and entrepreneur who currently serves as a Field Artillery Officer in the Utah National Guard. He has over 11 years of experience in combat arms roles within the Army and Army National Guard. He is a Young Voices Contributor.  Cracking Down on Gun Owners - https://www.theamericanconservative.com/cracking-down-on-gun-owners/ Transcript - https://share.descript.com/view/laSRZRU0b6Y Join our Patreon now for commercial-free shows, bonus content and our complete archives - https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians ---- Thanks to our sponsor, Lions of Liberty.

Jeremiah Ludwig, an independent housing policy researcher based in Washington DC, joins me to discuss how housing is becoming less affordable in cities due to supply shortages caused by strict zoning policies, and how this affects not just low-income families, but also middle-class families.  We also explore strategies for addressing the issue, such as upzoning, which has been successful in California and Seattle and involves increasing the size of the allowable building envelope on a property. This approach is seen as less objectionable than completely tearing down zoning laws. https://youtu.be/rNeBukrXmaU Jeremiah Ludwig is an independent Housing Policy Researcher based in Washington DC, with four years of experience studying and researching US housing markets and policy.

James Czerniawski joins me to discuss two recent Supreme Court cases, Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Tamana, which have implications for free speech on the internet and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 is a law that protects websites from liability for third-party content.  Chenowski, a policy analyst, explains that repealing or reforming Section 230 could significantly impact speech online and limit access to new and diverse voices. The Gonzalez v. Google case involves a family suing Google over a terrorist attack in which an ISIS recruitment video was seen on the platform. The family argues that Google should be liable for recommending the video and aiding a terrorist organization. The case raises questions about liability for third-party content and the extent to which companies can be held responsible for the actions of their users. https://youtu.be/t4B7hy86ixg James Czerniawski is a Senior Policy Analyst at Americans for Prosperity, a national think tank in DC with 35 state chapters nationwide. He writes about Section 230, antitrust, consumer data privacy, cybersecurity, and technology and innovation issues.

Ted Green is a director, producer, and writer who fell in love with the art of storytelling through film and has made several documentaries, many of them about sports, but also focusing on people and events that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit. His newest film, "The Best We've Got: The Carl Erskine Story," is about Carl Erskine, a baseball player who played a seminal role in two of the great human-rights movements of the past century, first as a teammate and close friend of Jackie Robinson, then as a pioneer in the fight for people with special needs.  Carl Erskine and his wife Betty gave birth to their son Jimmy and discovered he had Down syndrome. Instead of institutionalizing him, they found themselves at the forefront of another fight for the recognition of the marginalized. Erskine went on to play a pivotal role in the development of the Special Olympics.  https://youtu.be/_Kc7SVByMD0 Ted Green also talks about the Erskine Personal Impact Curriculum, which is designed to teach themes of inclusion, diversity, and acceptance using the stories of Carl and other individuals featured in the film. The curriculum has been distributed to schools in Indiana and beyond, with more than 70,000 books distributed so far. The goal is to inspire the next generation to positively impact the world.

Months ago I interviewed the Bail Project, which helps economically disadvantaged people avoid long jail stays while awaiting trial. Ken Good, Texas bail attorney and a board member of the Professional Bondsmen of Texas, heard the interview and wanted to respond.  He discusses the bail process, the issue of bail disparities, and how the bail industry deals with risk assessment. Good argues against the bail project's disparate treatment claim and that they are bonding out the most dangerous people who must stay in jail. https://youtu.be/25H3xI9-9As Ken W. Good graduated from Hardin Simmons University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He received a Master of Education Degree in 1986 from Tarleton State University, a part of the Texas A&M System. In 1989, he received his law degree from Texas Tech School of Law, where he was a member of the Texas Tech Law Review. Mr. Good has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and numerous appeals courts, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Mr. Good is married and has two daughters.

Why does China want to invade Taiwan? My guest Zachary Yost is a co-host of the War Economy and State podcast and a young Voices Contributor, and we take a deep dive on the differences between Ukraine and Taiwan and how China would fare if they invaded.  Video - https://youtu.be/GnaxTuWMeHI  Taiwan is an island about 90 to 100 miles off the coast of mainland China, and officially it is the Republic of China with over 23 million people. It's the side that lost the Chinese Civil War, and the government still claims it is the sovereign ruler of mainland China. Chiang Kai-Shek retreated to the island, and the US provided varying amounts of aid over the years.  On the other hand, the People's Republic of China claims that Taiwan is a breakaway province and not an independent country. The world no longer recognizes Taiwan as China, and it was removed from the Security Council at the United Nations in the 1970s in favor of the CCP government. The US has been a partner of Taiwan for a long time, and the US has provided varying amounts of aid over the years.  Taiwanese identity is a contentious issue within Taiwanese politics. While most of the population, especially younger people, identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese, it is a lasting piece of historical fiction in the government they hold onto that they can't really get rid of. Taiwan does not want to declare independence, which is a very nuanced issue.  Also, the comparison between Ukraine and Taiwan is usually rather simplistic and has an agenda behind it. In his article, Yost discusses the differences between Ukraine and Taiwan regarding their ability to defend against invasion. Ukraine has a vast land border that is easy to cross, while Taiwan is an island surrounded by water. Additionally, Russia and China have different border disputes, with Russia having mostly resolved its issues and China still having ongoing conflicts with India and Vietnam. Tactically it would be much more difficult for China to invade Taiwan, as the Taiwanese have prepared extensively for potential amphibious assaults for decades.  Unlike in Ukraine, Yost suggests that it is in the US's interest for Taiwan to remain independent but not in its interest to defend Taiwan itself. Taiwan is a more significant strategic partner for the US than Ukraine. Instead, the US should sell Taiwan weapons to facilitate its ability to deter and defeat an invasion. He argues that China has structural weaknesses, and the invasion of Taiwan would not herald the end of the world.  Zack Yost is a freelance writer and researcher. He was a Fall 2021 Marcellus Policy Fellow with the John Quincy Adams Society and has been published in a variety of outlets.

Brian Wohlgemuth and Vaughn Spargur join me to explain the basics of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, where a Norfolk and Southern train carrying dangerous chemicals derailed and dumped about 50 cars on the ground.  Video - https://youtu.be/Rg29Hoax2KA  Despite the severity of the incident, the mainstream media coverage has been inadequate but has shown the power of alt media to hold mainstream media more accountable.  We discuss the concerns around the chemicals being released and the lack of trust in the EPA to handle the situation. Additionally, we touched on other pollution issues in Ohio, including Superfund sites. People are getting their testing done privately due to distrust of the EPA's testing practices, and the administration has been largely absent. The episode also covered a New York Times article that discussed Norfolk Southern's profits and accident rates. The article revealed that the company paid shareholders nearly 18 billion dollars through stock buybacks and dividends in the past five years, twice the amount invested in railways and operations. The company neglected to invest in safety regulations, such as modern braking systems and stronger tank cars. A recent train wreck raised questions about the company's safety protocols and inspection practices, and the recent strike was partially due to safety concerns.  We also discuss the controversy surrounding a 2015 safety regulation requiring electronically controlled pneumatic brakes for certain high-hazard flammable trains carrying at least 20 consecutive cars filled with liquid liquids like crude oil. The Trump administration repealed the rule in 2018 after lobbying by the railroad industry. According to experts, this rule wouldn't have mattered with this accident.

The Social Security trust fund will be broke by 2034, so policymakers need to begin crafting bipartisan solutions to continue funding the Social Security program.

Jocelyn recently wrote on our Instagram (@podcastingap) and asked about creating something visual for YouTube. She said that it was exhausting and that she only did one segment. So how important is it to make a video version of audio content for YouTube podcasts?  Video - https://youtu.be/_luFwU8JobI Creating a video for YouTube can be daunting, but is it worth it? To help with that decision, I want to refer you to a previous video on the pros and cons of video content.  I looked at her video to answer her question and explained what we had discussed. My first impressions are that it's impressive for an audio-only podcast featured on YouTube. It's really well done. I'd love to know what software you used for this, so please comment below and let me know, and I'll let other people know. You said it took a ton of time, which is understandable, but you have to evaluate the time commitment versus the number of people viewing it. It sounds like you're already burnt out after doing one. Could you have gotten those 10 views with something that took you 15 minutes using the Headliner software, which is automated? You have to balance the quality vs. the time. Quality is always going to get you more views over time. Two years from now, if you're putting in that time and dedication, you will have more viewers on YouTube than something a little bit simpler. For example, I use Headliner and other software to produce videos, but they get fewer views than the more complex and well-done videos. But what is that number? Is it 50 views per show with Headliner, which is automated, and 100 views for something you spent hours on? Is that a good tradeoff? In my mind, no. You'd be better off putting time into the content part instead of the distribution part.  Time is at a premium, and my central focus for distribution is a quality audio product. YouTube is a secondary service to give podcast listeners on the platform access to my content, and it is not my main focus. There are so many platforms for distribution and don't try to do them all. Just put time into what gets you the best return for your goals.  So, Jocelyn, take some time to evaluate your approach and decide what works best for you.  --------------- Find the links to the recommended equipment in The Toolbox. – https://www.podcastingandplatforms.com/p/toolbox Be sure to grab your guide to launching a podcast here - https://skilled-inventor-6849.ck.page/e015466602 Download the Podcast - https://link.chtbl.com/podcasting-and-platforms Connect with P&P The Website Subscribe to the Podcast Subscribe to Our YouTube Instagram LinkedIn Facebook Twitter Email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

We discussed the basics of the last week in Congress and explained why the "rebels" were doing the right thing. (McCarthy talks begins a little after minute 20.) **I know it’s Kevin McCarty.

Danielle Zanzalari recently wrote an article about one of the many ways the rich have bent the law in favor of themselves in order to crowd out competition from the poor and middle classes.

The Great Salt Lake is like many bodies of water in the west: it's depleted. To fix this, locals are considering how to fix the problem, and the “public trust” legal doctrine has popped up.

When someone is arrested, three options await them before their trial: a judge can keep them in jail, release them, or assign them cash bail. While it is often thought that cash bail is needed to drive some back to the courtroom, this is often not true. Cash bail massively impacts the finances of the people who can least afford it, and it hampers their ability to move past a bad incident. My guest is David Gaspar, the National Director of Operations at The Bail Project. The Bail Project is a 501 nonprofit organization aiming to pay bail for people who cannot do so themselves.  Learn more at https://bailproject.org.  https://youtu.be/zS_2h4E9VeI Join WAL Plus now for commercial-free shows and our complete archives - JoinWALPlus.com ---- This episode is brought to you by Iconic Insurance.

Ron DeSantis was the bright spot for the GOP in the 2022 midterm elections. Why? He achieved crossover appeal by expanding school choice and parents' rights in Florida.

Today is the anniversary of the killing of John Kennedy in Dallas. While in Dallas a few years ago, I took a tour of Dealey Plaza with Robin Brown of JFK Custom Tours. It was so entertaining that I invited Robin to the show to lay out what he believes happened on November 22, 1963. We spend a great deal of time discussing the rise of defense contractors and the CIA in the early days of the Cold War. Then Robin explains his theory on the why, how, and who of President John F. Kennedy's murder. Visit Robin's website at https://www.jfkcustomtours.com/. Disclaimer: I really have no idea what happened to President Kennedy, and by having Robin on, I am not endorsing his ideas. Much of the history on the establishment of that period we share is absolutely true, and most facts on the assassination he shared did check out. I don't know what happened. I just found him to be a fun person you'd enjoy. Come to your own conclusions.

For the second year in a row, the life expectancy of Americans dropped sharply. While COVID played the larger role, Fentanyl contributed as well. Last year was a record year for overdose deaths with an estimated 107,622, CDC says, an increase of 15% from the previous year, and 70% of fatalities were from the synthetic opioid. Especially hard hit were communities of color. According to statnews.com, "Black Americans lost 0.7 years between 2020 to 2021, and American Indian and Native Americans saw the largest loss of life expectancy of all — 1.9 years less than 2020’s life expectancy, and 6.6 years less than 2019’s."

Last Columbus Day, I decided to learn more about the history of the man and the day celebrating him. Since then, I've visited historical sites in Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic and San Juan in Puerto Rico. I read books and watched documentaries to gain a better perspective of who Columbus was. In this episode, I share what I've learned, beginning with the history of the day, who wants to change it (or not) and why, and then share a basic history of Columbus and his voyages.   Links: Book by Laurence Bergreen: Columbus: The Four Voyages, 1492-1504 - https://amzn.to/3MlTHDz Columbus in America (Full Documentary) - https://youtu.be/JkFFy5yUdkE Secrets & Mysteries of Christopher Columbus - https://youtu.be/XXU3pEeVI9o 9 reasons Christopher Columbus was a murderer, tyrant, and scoundrel - https://www.vox.com/2014/10/13/6957875/christopher-columbus-murderer-tyrant-scoundrel Columbus Day - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Day Christopher Columbus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus Bartolomé de las Casas - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartolom%c3%a9_de_las_Casas What Columbus Day Really Means - https://theamericanscholar.org/what-columbus-day-really-means/ How Columbus Day Fell Victim to Its Own Success - https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/10/how-columbus-day-fell-victim-to-its-own-success/261922/ How Italians Became ‘White’ (Published 2019) - https://buff.ly/2pbSUyJ What Are We to Make of Columbus Today? - https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/10/11/what-are-we-to-make-of-columbus-today/ Join WAL Plus now for commercial-free shows and our complete archives - JoinWALPlus.com ---- This episode is brought to you by Iconic Insurance.

Social media and talk hosts have recently shared the blame for mass shootings, but these outlets are not the progenitor of ideas like the Great Replacement Theory.

Dr. Travis Corcoran wrote a new book called Restoring Reason, and I love the concept. He talks about the Trivium, which is a system of thinking through concepts. The first three pillars of a liberal arts education are grammar, logic, and rhetoric. In other words, capturing knowledge, thinking it through, and then communicating those ideas. How can a systematic approach to information help us combat the discombobulating cascade of information we deal with on a daily basis? Listen as we outline it. In his book 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.

My jaw dropped when I read the following: "When the nation was facing the COVID-19 pandemic without knowledge of when a vaccine would arise, at least 75 federal lawmakers held shares of Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer — all of which eventually benefited from nearly $6 trillion in relief bills to produce, manufacture, and distribute vaccines to the American public. Congress was directly involved in the creation and passing of these relief bills."

Rob Kendall is the most hated man in Indiana politics and media, and I barely tolerate him, but he makes a lot of good points about the big government path that Indiana Republicans often walk down. I play one of his critics and give him a chance to answer them, and in the process, he makes the case for ending the big-spending habits of Republicans in red states and why there is a better path than shrugging and saying "they're better than Democrats."  Join WAL Plus now for commercial-free shows and our complete archives - JoinWALPlus.com ---- FOSS Devices  Have you ever received advertisements related to a conversation you’ve just had?

I am proud to announce a new show on the We Are Libertarians Podcast Network: The Paradocs with Dr. Eric Larson. With medical innovation and challenges leading the headlines, it is imperative to have a credible, smart voice helping us understand what's happening not only with regards to the pandemic but also with health insurance and health care. Dr. Larson approaches these subjects with a fact-based approach to help listeners make the best choices for themselves and their families and fits our mission at WAL is to inform listeners about current events from an independent point of view. Please subscribe to the show now at https://link.chtbl.com/paradocs. To learn more, visit his website: https://theparadocs.com/ When you run a business, one person you usually meet and hire is a health insurance broker. In theory, these brokers work with employers to secure the best deals for health insurance to meet the company's health care objectives. However, in practice, the brokers serve as a sales force for the insurance companies who lavish them with bonuses, trips, and gifts. The seedy underbelly of the health insurance broker industry is that they are really not working to save money or get deals for their clients - the checks are written by the insurance carriers and that's who they answer to.

ThoughtWorld is a new social media site that aims to provide better market research and polling data than what the country has been accustomed to by crowd sourcing opinions from people like you and me while removing the censors. CEO Robert Ming is a former mayor of an Orange County, CA town that understands the need for policy makers to have accurate insights into the thinking of constituents, and sites like Twitter or Facebook don't provide that. Robert and the company's Chief Customer Officer, Lessie Russel, join me to discuss their site and its uses. Join now at https://thoughtworld.com/. About ThoughtWorld ThoughtWorld is not just another social media platform, it’s the bridge to bring people together. Civil society is on a dangerous road. The idea that people of differing views can collaborate together, have an honest debate with civility and mutual respect, and then reach a compromise that lets people move forward seems like a fairy tale. Instead, people believe conspiracy theories, fake news, hide their ulterior motives, go along with group think, and act out of fear. Frustration and misunderstanding leads to violence. The cycle needs to end. ThoughtWorld is built to encourage people to think, find compromises, collaborate with others, and be unafraid to pose new ideas, even bad ones. Without freedom to think, we will never be able to find the compromises that will begin to bridge the great divide that has formed in our public debate. -- Join WAL Plus now for commercial-free shows and our complete archives - JoinWALPlus.com ---- Rightly Podcast Network with Right Now with Stephen Kent Right Now is the first show from Rightly.

Hawk Jensen is a documentary filmmaker from Hollywood that has partnered with fellow artists to create a new documentary series called "Follow the Science: On Lockdowns and Liberty." The goal of the SoundMind Creative Group is to establish some cultural literacy and defined terms around the events of the COVID pandemic. What did our society get right these past 19 months and what did our government get wrong, and why is it frowned upon to talk about it? This is an excellent conversation that needs to be had, and memorializing the pandemic from a critical view will be a helpful tool for future generations. They're fundraising now at www.followthesciencefilm.com, so listen in and please consider helping donate towards the project. Jensen is also the producer of The Witness Project, a short documentary series sponsored by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation that records the experiences of a number of individuals who were - and in some cases still are - victims of persecution by collectivist regimes in the 20th and 21st centuries.  In full disclosure, they are a paying sponsor of the WAL Network, and that is because we believe their project is worth partnering with. -- Join WAL Plus now for commercial-free shows and our complete archives - JoinWALPlus.com ---- Rightly Podcast Network with Right Now with Stephen Kent Right Now is the first show from Rightly.

If you believe so much of your livelihood is dependent on who the President of the United States is, that inherently means that the Office of the President is MUCH too powerful. • Unless you believe this is your last ever election on this earth, voting to give the duopoly candidate more power will only leave you with a worse choice 4 years down the line, this is why both parties pitch the line that "This election is too important" to: vote your conscience, express your true voice, reject both parties and stay home, or demand a better choice. So suck it up, hold your breath, vote for their candidate and your life will magically be improved. • If enough people in any one state vote third-party that that thin Gold line on CNN/Fox/MSNBC says 2%,5%,10%, this wakes up the whole country to the possibility of an alternative and starts a narrative that the duopoly lives in constant fear of, free will and alternatives. Why can't this be your state, and why can't you be a part of it? Especially if your state is solidly Red or Blue anyway and your vote will have no impact on the result. • Change takes courage. • A vote belongs to you and not another party. If these two parties do not represent you then an L vote will register as a visible, measurable protest against them. It says “there’s a market for these ideas.” • Exit polls are considered the most reliable of all polling. It often shows that a candidate will pull small amounts evenly from the other two parties, but the vast majority of votes are from independents, first-time voters, or re-activated voters that now see an option on their ballot that represents them. • The electoral college means your vote is negligible due to gerrymandering. So really, what have you got to lose?

Win in the sense of receive the most electoral votes in a national Presidential election? No, there is an infinitesimally small chance the Libertarian candidate beats the Republican or Democratic candidate for President. This race is generally viewed as a marketing tool to explain broader libertarian concepts as a result. The best evidence may be the interest of the listener tuning in because it is a Presidential year. • This being said, the Libertarian Party's job at a national level as a minority party is to use its support and voice to impact duopoly party policy in a way that expands individual freedoms and limits government interference. • From this perspective, there are "wins" to be had in working with both parties. On a local level, any candidate can win an election, and given the old adage "all politics is local" it's crucial to have • Liberty-minded candidates on a local level to prove our party's ability to govern. • There are many Libertarians serving in government in local races. - https://my.lp.org/elected-officials/ • One other benefit of a third party is the impact of a candidate on the eventual victor. For example, in 2012, when Rupert Boneham ran for Governor of Indiana as Libertarian, one of his platform planks was expanding school choice into vocational training. The eventual victor, Mike Pence, tested the idea, it polled well, and he adopted it and ran campaign commercials on it. As governor, he enacted the policy. • Do converted Congressmen count as wins? Justin Amash or Laura Ebke? - Any action that expands awareness of the Libertarian movement, and advances our overall goal of Liberty in our Lifetime is a win. Justin & Laura have had an immeasurable positive impact on our party and that goal, and we hope more sitting representatives and Senators, and local government officials, begin to act their conscience and identify with their true ideology in declaring for the Libertarian Party. The more willing to do it, the more publicly acceptable it instantly becomes. Social proof is a powerful concept.

In 2020, the corporate sponsors include Anheuser-Busch, AARP, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, The Kovler Fund, The National Governors Association, and Philips. • The board includes several career government workers, former politicians, corporate and special interest CEOs, former media executives, College Deans & Presidents, and former political party chairs, aka no one with any incentive to ever consider a third-party voice.

While many libertarians vary on their definition or forceful interference, property, when/how to apply the NAP, and proper responses to an aggressor, the movement is largely built on the defining principle, which boils down to "don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff". It is in contrast to Pacifism in that it allows a forceful defense. • Mary Ruwart in her book Healing Our World calls this the Good Neighbor Policy. "Therefore, our program for peace had two parts: 1. honesty, tolerance, and respect towards others and their property (i.e. refraining from threatening first-strike force, theft, or fraud); and 2. repairing any damage we caused by violating the first part. We will refer to this dual approach of honoring our neighbor's choice and righting our wrongs as the practice of "nonaggression," the Good Neighbor Policy, or libertarianism."

Most feel they need a master class in political science to work on campaigns. On-the-job training is the most effective way to learn.  Find a candidate that shares your value and contact their campaign to get involved.  Basic volunteering like envelope stuffing, door knocking, yard sign distribution, or phone banking are a good start.  Don't take on too much. Sometimes a small campaign will ask a new person to be a campaign manager. This can lead to volunteer frustration and you'll burn out quickly. While campaign work can be uncomfortable or time-consuming, it shouldn't be frustrating. Also check out our training podcast called Upward - Libertarian Activism.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Learn Libertarianism - https://libertyexplained.com/  Subscribe to the podcast - https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained Video - https://youtu.be/oOB-x7EFZ5M It is both! Libertarianism focuses on extending personal morality and ethics into societal organization. In other words, we want communities to follow the same rules we were taught as kids: Don't hit others, don't take their stuff, and don't lie or cheat.  Unfortunately, government is organized around the premise that these things are ok if enough people agree. If voters collectively decide to murder or steal from other individuals with 51% of the vote, then they believe the morality changes. Libertarians don't.  So enacting these values requires a mindset shift. It requires a mental shift for individuals that have lived under a different paradigm their entire lives.  The more one examines their values through this new way of thinking, the more empowering the ideology becomes. As individuals begin to think about taking responsibility for their own lives and communities, they get excited about the opportunities this new path affords.  One small example of this is the shopping cart. After purchasing items at a store, people will head to the their car in the parking lot and unload groceries. Once the cart is empty, a person faces a choice. They can leave the cart in the middle of the parking spot to inconvenience both the next parker and the employee corralling carts. Or they can put the cart in the corral and maintain order.  Most put their carts away, but some don't. The market has a fix for these "bad actors." Most stores employ a coraller. Other stores like Aldis use financial incentives to persuade individuals to act in a responsible manner.  Suppose stores hired an armed security guard to threaten any person not returning the cart. Would this make the relationship between customer and store more or less tense? Would it cost the store business? The answer is yes.  Government operates this way. It rejects the peaceful path used by an Aldi and monopolizes force. In other words, it puts all other stores out of business or takes them over and standardizes the more violent approach.  Libertarianism advocates for the original peaceful path by reminding individuals of their personal responsibilities, their right to be left alone, and providing solutions to handle complex problems.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Learn Libertarianism - https://libertyexplained.com/  Subscribe to the podcast - https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained Video - https://youtu.be/zBF07rJ8biw What is the single greatest thing about liberty? This answer probably varies for every individual, but mine (Chris Spangle) is the beauty of spontaneous order. Order comes from markets adjusting to the needs of individuals as judged by the price system (or what someone will pay for something). This order is displayed by geese flying in a V or people managing a roundabout without incident.  The classic parable of the efficiency of the marketplace is Leonard Reed's I, Pencil. A pencil is made up of many parts from around the world to solve a simple problem: the need to write things down. No one person invented the pencil. It developed over time with each generation evolving and improving it.  Men and women around the world contribute cedar, lacquer, graphite, ferrule, factice, pumice, wax, and glue. They add the labor necessary to make it work. Numerous people are involved in the process, including people like the sweeper in the factory and the lighthouse keeper guiding the shipment into port.  He writes:  "There is a fact still more astounding: The absence of a master mind, of anyone dictating or forcibly directing these countless actions which bring me into being. No trace of such a person can be found. Instead, we find the invisible hand at work. The lesson I have to teach is this: Leave all creative energies uninhibited. Merely organize society to act in harmony with this lesson. Let society's legal apparatus remove all obstacles the best it can. Permit these creative know-hows freely to flow. Have faith that free men and women will respond to the Invisible Hand. This faith will be confirmed." What is the greatest flaw of liberty? The greatest flaw I have found are two-fold:  It is a pretty big paradigm shift to ask people to trust their fellow man in a market-based system, especially in a low trust society.  Libertarians, like all humans, are imperfect messengers and often fail at communicating the message in a way that helps close that trust gap.

Learn Libertarianism - https://libertyexplained.com/  Subscribe to the podcast - https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained Video - https://youtu.be/B-ZKki1DVO0 What is Liberty? Liberty is the freedom to choose to do or not do a thing without interference from outside forces.  The less outside interference in a decision, the freer we are.  The most common form of interference being threats of violence or force if the wrong choice is made.  Liberty is often associated with the idea of free will, which is defined by Wikipedia as "the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded."  So What is the difference between Freedom vs. Liberty? They are often considered synonyms that mean the same thing. Let's look at the definitions of the words thanks to Wikipedia: Freedom: Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. In philosophical discourse, freedom is discussed in the context of free will and self-determination, balanced by moral responsibility. (Wikipedia) Liberty: Broadly speaking, liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. It is a synonym for the word freedom.  In modern politics, liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behaviour, or political views.  Sometimes liberty is differentiated from freedom by using the word "freedom" primarily, if not exclusively, to mean the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and using the word "liberty" to mean the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved.  In this sense, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limited by the rights of others. Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law without depriving anyone else of their freedom.  Freedom is more broad in that it represents a total lack of restraint or the unrestrained ability to fulfill one's desires. For example, a person can have the freedom to murder, but not have the liberty to murder, as the latter example deprives others of their right not to be harmed. Liberty can be taken away as a form of punishment. In many countries, people can be deprived of their liberty if they are convicted of criminal acts. There's a third word we'd add to this mix, and it is "autonomy." From Merriam-Webster.com: Definition of autonomy 1: the quality or state of being self-governing 2: self-directing freedom and especially moral independence 3: a self-governing state Ok. Enough philosophizing. What does this actually mean to you? Liberty and Freedom are the goal for libertarians. Individuals should be able to govern themselves because the individual knows how to plan their life in coordination with others better than one person could govern another. We reject the idea that one person can constrain another's free will without their consent. Currently, the governments that we live under limit our ability to be truly free.  This does not mean that one can do whatever they wish. There will still be laws and consequences in a truly free society. The difference is that each person actively participates in the crafting of those rules. Murder, fraud, theft and other crimes would still carry penalties as they violate the free will of others.

Chris Spangle asks her about encampments on the circle, who falls into homelessness, and what organizations network together to solve the issue. “CHIP” is the homeless coalition for the City of Indianapolis. CHIP collaborates with and supports dozens of local shelters and service providers in the City to create a community response that makes homelessness rare, short-lived, and recoverable. CHIP’s support comes in a variety of ways: ·      Securing funding for housing and services ·      Conducting important research that is used by all local homeless service providers who want to make sure their programs and housing solutions are fitting the needs in the community. ·      Advocating for policy change at the local, state and national levels for policies that support solutions to homelessness ·      Providing a variety of programs and training opportunities to improve the quality and effectiveness of the homeless system of care. For example, the Street Reach program provides financial assistance to people who are experiencing homelessness by helping them overcome barriers to permanent housing like paying a security deposit to rent an apartment or paying a utility bill. Since 2017, more than 700 individuals have either moved into permanent housing or made significant steps toward doing so with the help of Street Reach. Visit their website at www.CHIPIndy.org.

Kelly McBride, Executive Director of the Domestic Violence Network (DVN), joins us. The Domestic Violence Network is a nonprofit organization that has existed for over 20 years to bring all members of the Central Indiana community together to change the culture that leads to domestic violence through advocacy, education, and collaboration.

Chris Spangle, Harry Price, and Rhinehold are joined by T.K. Coleman for a discussion on the path necessary for building a libertarian world. We discuss the myths that keep us believing in the efficacy of government, what role race plays in society, and how we can innovate our way to a better world. This is one of our favorite episodes ever and a great one to share with friends. T. K. Coleman is the Director of Entrepreneurial Education at the Foundation for Economic Education and Co-Founder & Education Director of Praxis. He is a prolific writer and speaker with a singular mission: to awaken people to their own creative power. T. K. describes himself as an entrepreneur first and a motivator second. He's a strong believer in the idea that he has a responsibility to face the everyday challenges of creating value in the free market if he's going to spend his life trying to get other people to believe in free markets.

Chris Spangle talks to Fiona Harrigan and Jakob Puckett about libertarian solutions to climate change and energy policy. Enis wrote in and asked: There has been one thing that has been bugging me quite a lot though; how would climate change and pollution get tackled in a libertarian society? While most current governments are not great at it either, ideas such as carbon tax actually make a lot of sense. That could in fact encourage people to invest more in clean energies, which are actually more profitable than fossil fuels. I have had direct experiences with unregulated businesses operate despite their utter lack of care for the health of the citizens. What do you think we as libertarians can do to promote sustainability? So we answered it.

While in Dallas, Chris Spangle took a tour of Dealey Plaza with Robin Brown of JFK Custom Tours. It was so entertaining, that he decided to invite Robin on the show to lay out what he believes happened on November 22, 1963. We spend a great deal of time discussing the rise of defense contractors and the CIA in the early days of the Cold War. Then Robin explains his theory on the why, how, and who of President John F. Kennedy's murder. Visit Robin's website at https://www.jfkcustomtours.com/. Disclaimer: I really have no idea what happened to President Kennedy, and by having Robin on I am not endorsing his ideas. Much of the history on the establishment of that period we share is absolutely true, and most facts on the assassination he shared did check out. I don't know what happened. I just found him to be a fun person you'd enjoy.

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.

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.

It has been an absolute pleasure sharing these 50 episodes with you during 2018. I cannot wait to kick things off strong in 2019!

Hodey Johns and Paul Copeland give the audience a way to make it cost 90% less and, here’s the catch, they don’t even touch on reducing coverage.

First Aired on the Brian Nichols Show: https://briannichols.fireside.fm/matt-kibbe Listen as we first start off discussing Matt's first steps into libertarianism via the band Rush and their "2112" album, which pointed Matt towards the readings of Ayn Rand. Next, we discuss the recent censorship on Facebook of popular libertarian page, "Liberty Memes" and what libertarians should do in response. Next, we discuss Matt's organization, "Free the People", which is an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty by reaching those “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling. After that, we discuss how libertarians should vote in the 2018 midterms, strategic voting, and the "lesser of two evils" argument. We also touch on two strong Libertarian campaigns in Gary Johnson for U.S. Senate in New Mexico and Larry Sharpe for Governor in New York. We start to conclude our conversation by discussing potential outcomes in the 2018 midterms, as well as how our nation will look after 2020 and 2024. And finally, we wrap up our discussion by looking at Matt's book, " Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto."
