Check out this debate between Marc Clair and Eric Brakey on whether or not the Edward Snowden reveal was a net negative or positive for liberty. I had the opportunity to moderate said debate over on the amazing new platform, TownSircle. TownSircle enables public figures to come to the table and engage in the important issues of the day by offering pledged donations towards charity to help those in need as a means to facilitate debate. Now, Eric and Marc didn't exactly need nudging to take part in this debate, but we were still able to provide over 1,500 meals to those in need thanks to the money raised!

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!

"What we know to be true is that the advocacy needs to happen in your own backyard. Local politics is where you can make the biggest change, we know that we sat on school board, we know it makes a difference when parents come and interact with their school board and build relationships. So that's what we hope to do with our chapters." -Tiffany Justice Listen as Tiffany Justice from Moms for Liberty outlines how parents are fighting back against the corrupt public schooling system!

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

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

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

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

One of the fastest-growing demographics in the American electorate is Gen Z. And while many in politics like to do an "old man yells at cloud" routine when discussing issues with Gen Z, we at The Brian Nichols Show understand that Gen Z is quite literally the future, and with that, share a lot of fundamental beliefs that those in the Liberty Movement share as well. So how do we effectively meet Gen Z where they're at?

Would the Democratic Party really run someone as inauthentic as Kamala Harris when voters are demanding authenticity?

Well, perhaps you shouldn't get too comfortable with retiring that expression to the back corners of your mind, as a very fervent (and loud) group of pro-bureaucratic "experts" have been digging their heels in while defending the government's COVID narratives. Today's guests join the program to help destroy narrative after narrative, as their new docuseries "Follow the Science! (On Lockdowns and Liberty)" help tell the actual story of the pandemic.
