The Brian Nichols Show

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

The ideas of personal liberty and free markets will always win in the battleplace of ideas, but that is irrelevant if people aren't willing to hear our solutions in the first place. So, what can we as libertarians do better to avoid these pitfalls of the past? 2020 Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate Spike Cohen returns to the program to help outline what libertarians shouldn't do, and where the Libertarian Party is headed as we move towards the 2022 elections.

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

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

As a Millennial, I've got a better reading as to where we're at, but what about Gen Z? Where are they at? And are they actually the generation deserving off all the blame?

There was a large portion of the "MAGA" crowd that echoed libertarian sentiments, with many of those MAGA-libertarians being a part of the greater liberty movement in general. So, what's next for those liberty-leaning MAGA folk? Do they stick the route of the GOP, or do the venture to untested waters via the Libertarian Party? Marc Lobliner, CEO of MTS Nutrition/CMO of TigerFitness.com joins the show to give his take, being a member of that liberty oriented Trump voter. Later, we dig into how COVID-19 and the government lockdowns have impacted business.

Today's episode is a special reairing of my appearance over on Brad Polumbo's awesome new program, "Breaking Boundaries with Brad Polumbo". Original notes (can be found: https://brokenboundaries.fireside.fm/21) Marketing specialist and podcaster Brian Nicholas, my good pal, joins the show to discuss Marketing & Sales 101, and how these basic principles should apply to political campaigning. How do we meet people where they're at? Is education or listening more key to winning votes? Just how important are name recognition and cults of personality in political success? And how do we respond to America's populist moment? We discuss all this and more. (Plus, his take on pickles will leave you shook!) Follow Brian on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BNicholsLiberty.

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! Today's guest is Nick Hudson from PANDA (Pandemics ~ Data & Analytics).

Over the past few years, a growing number of members from the Mises Caucus have started to join the Libertarian Party with the goal of making the Libertarian Party a "libertarian", Ron Paul oriented party. Today's guest, like yours truly, speaks to dozens of noted influencers in the greater liberty movement, which is exactly why I wanted to have Lions of Liberty's Marc Clair back on the program; to hear what the general feeling is in the movement, where the movement is heading, and the direction the Libertarian Party will head in the years to come.

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

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

The government lockdows in response to the COVID pandemic has decimated small businesses across the country. What's even more... some "red" states have locked down their economies as well, leaving many businesses looking for any type of relief. Fargo, North Dakota City Commissioner Tony Gehrig joins the program to outline his proposal to help offer some relief for bars and restaurants in the Greater Fargo Area, and why only more government lockdowns will only exacerbate the problems to come.

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.

One of the main focuses here at The Brian Nichols Show has been to show how to #SellLiberty. But selling requires us to meet people where they're at by asking questions, learning what they're main concerns are, and showing we have the solutions to their problems. Today, we put that into action, as Jenessa Fenton, family friend and politically left-leaning independent joins the program to find where areas of common ground, but to also look for areas where libertarians can serve as those problem solvers.

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

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