Their four-step mission is to identify, educate, train, and mobilize youth activists to make liberty win.Today, Dan Taylor (VP of Campus) joins the program to promote their biggest event of the year, Revolution22, and how YAL is helping make liberty win by meeting people where they're at on the issues they care about.

Common good conservatives argue that America’s economic and cultural problems are rooted in libertarianism. They believe the Republican Party and the conservative movement has failed to address the needs of the American people because they have “outsourced” their economic policy to libertarians.Today, Charles Sauer (President of The Market Institute) joins the program and makes his case how it's not the libertarians who are failing, but rather, the failed policies of the common good conservatives like Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and JD Vance.

Texans, it's time to TEXIT.Today's guest is Daniel Miller, President of the Texas National Movement and vocal advocate for TEXIT!TEXIT is the term used to refer to Texas exiting the union and becoming an independent, self-governing nation. TEXIT is not Texas independence. Rather, TEXIT is the process that gets Texas to independence. TEXIT means that Texans determine their own laws and not 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats in Washington. 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. Most importantly, it means that for the first time in Texan's lives that they control their own destiny.TEXAS + EXIT = TEXIT

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.Kenny Cody returns to the program to d…

Entrepreneurs and influencers feel their businesses are suffering because of limited exposure on traditional social media platforms. There’s no space on the internet for people who value family, faith, free speech and enterprise. We are the muted voices of America. Today's guest was in search of a platform for people to share their lives, opinions, and information without fear, judgment or censorship - A place where free speech is respected and upheld.That’s why Ryan Chamberlin created the True Patriot Network. He wanted to provide his community a place where everyone can share their thoughts and everyday life without fear of censorship or judgment. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and families alike will have a hub to connect and exchange ideas openly and in a respectful, family-friendly manner.

Political fatigue is real. And too often, folks can get consumed in their political selves, letting it consume who they are, what they do, and where they spend their time.How do you know when it's time to take a break?I'll answer that question on today's episode, plus outline why it's okay for you to take your much needed break from politics!

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.

Paul Bradley, COO and Co-Founder of GetHedge.io joins the program to show how GetHedge is answering that very question by automatically converting your pay into crypto.

After weeks of waiting for the final decision to come down from the Supreme Court regarding Roe V Wade, the SCOTUS has actually gone ahead and struck down the 50-year ruling.What are the implications politically? And what can the Libertarian Party do to reach voter who have otherwise been weary of the LP's platform.

You need to learn basic sales skills, even if you're not in sales. Don't believe me? Give me 7 minutes on today's episode to make my case to why you should not only learn said basic sales skills, but show you just how doing so can make you a superstar in so many unexpected ways.WANT TO BOOST YOUR SALES TEAMS NUMBERS, BUT AREN'T SURE WHERE TO START? - Contact for a 15-minute one-on-one at https://www.briannicholsshow.com/contact/.."If I had a dollar for every time I had someone tell me that they hate sales, well, I wouldn't be in sales anymore.I have friends in all of the STEM fields, and nearly all of them have a sense of superiority because they're doing something with the "hard sciences", and they all laugh at the idea of doing sales as a career.And then it's my turn to laugh.Because regardless of their perception, they too are in sales, they just don't know it (or refuse to accept it).You see, everything in life is sales."

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 progres…

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…

Marine Le Pen's National Rally won 89 of the 577 seats in the National Assembly on Sunday - a dramatic increase from its starting point of just 8, and one of the most significant recent results for populist politics in Europe.With the anti-establishment sentiment running strong throughout America, could that mean good news for Libertarians in the 2022 elections?

Music is a language that transcends so many different barriers. Amongst those barriers is the growing political divide that continues to separate us Americans.We know that liberty solutions will help solve a lot of the problems we see in the world, so what if we were able to use music to bring liberty solutions to those who might be open to our message?Shawn Osborne believes music can do just that! And by having FUN with his music, he's absolutely helping make liberty FUN again along the way!Check out Shawn on Spotify! - https://open.spotify.com/album/3nKnbdXUrPK99qq105EU71?si=6_HQPWtoRTehly0qjs3OuA&fbclid=IwAR2nTjUdslAu61tLagjwz_6VOBM-Z-FtkVkyyQDAmtJQsiEGdH5zBO2ljAk&nd=1

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 batt…

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 univ…

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 an…

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…

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 batte…

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 comp…

Mahgdalen Rose returns to the program on a special solo episode, discussing why being controversial can only get you so far!"It's one thing to say everything controversial you can to get yourself trending on CNN or Twitter, Instagram. But it's another thing for soccer moms to go vote for you. It's another thing for fathers to go vote for you. It's another thing for business owners to believe that you'll have their back if something happens in the state and they need more time and they need small business loans."
