The Brian Nichols Show

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

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

On today's episode, I'm joined by British libertarian political content creator Jess Gill. Jess is a passionate advocate for freedom and equality, but she believes that the current wave of woke totalitarianism—which she calls "totalitarian equality"—has gone too far. In this episode, Jess will explain how Britain's efforts to enforce equality have led to totalitarianism, and how we can make sure that it doesn't happen here. Later, we dig into the broken NHS system, and how that has led to nearly 7 MILLION folks on the waiting list in the UK. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

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

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

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

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

No matter what your political persuasion is or what your beliefs are on any particular issue, it's important to remember that if you're trying to persuade someone who doesn't agree with you, it's not enough just to tell them what they should be thinking—you have to meet them where they are, and ask them what they care about.

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

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

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

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

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

On today's episode, I talk about how the Libertarian Party will find success when they adopt the approach of knowing their market and meeting them where they're at on the issues they care about. Libertarians need to know that there are many people who have never been exposed to libertarianism before, so we need to meet them where they're at on the issues that matter most to them. This is so we can show them how libertarian principles of individual liberty and voluntary association work for them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

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

If you're a Libertarian, then chances are you have your own little pond that you swim in—and that's OK!

That means reaching out to people who aren't like you, having conversations with them, and learning from them.

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