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.

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Spike Cohen to discuss how we can do a much better job of speaking to the issues that matter to people if we simply ask them.

Listen where we discuss how we can do a much better job of speaking to the issues that matter to people by simply asking them.

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.

Do you ever feel like your government is making decisions without really knowing what it's doing? Rodgir Cohen does, and that's why he's running for Redlands City Council. He wants to bring common sense and reason back to government. 

On today's episode, Rodgir and I discuss the danger of "do something" politics and how this type of thinking can lead to bad policy and harm innocent people. We also discuss why it's important for citizens to be informed on issues so that they can make informed decisions.

I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did!

On today's episode, I join Gavin Goodman to discuss why he's running for Congress in Alabama's 7th Congressional District.

Gavin is a Libertarian who believes that without choice, you can't have liberty. He explains why he thinks the best way to promote personal freedom and civil liberties is through limited government: less taxation, less regulation, and more personal responsibility.

We talk about what the Libertarian party stands for and how it differs from the Republican and Democratic parties, why he thinks it's important to have more people like him in Congress, and what his campaign is all 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.

Where's that fine line between being bold and being toxic? With the LPNH's recent controversial John McCain tweet, that topic of conversation has popped back up...

So, who better to talk about this than LPNH's own Jeremy Kauffman!? Jeremy is running for US Senate in New Hampshire and joins the show to talk about where the line is (is there a line?) when balancing a bold messaging with controversy.
