The Brian Nichols Show

A familiar voice returns to the show, as today we are joined by good friend, Shane Hazel! Shane has been busy, having started a brand new podcast, "The Radical", and running for US Senate as a Libertarian in Georgia. Shane returns to the show to discuss his new podcast, his campaign for US Senate, and the coming "fork-in-the-road" America will have to face in the coming months between choosing mor...

Welcome to episode 2 of 3 for this week, as today we're joined by Ken Good! Ken has argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, along with numerous courts of appeals, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He is the author of “Good’s on Bail,” a practice guide created for bail industry professionals. In addition, he has writt...

Zac Efron made his splash in the docuseries genre at the end of the summer of 2020, having starred and produced in Netflix's "Down to Earth". The series promised to "explore healthy, sustainable ways to live", which piques the interest of the growing number of eco-conscious, young people. However, it is in the solutions presented by Efron and the series that raises the concern of today's guest, as...

We're going back to where we started on today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, as today I am joined by the first "big guest" on the show (from way back from Episode 7 in Feb. 2018), Dean Clancy! Dean returns to the show to discuss a venture he's been working on over the past few years, with the end goal of lowering the cost of healthcare. Dean proposes that the best means to get the ball rolli...

The past few weeks have changed the entire tenor of the 2020 election. In what was shaping to be landslide victory for Biden, an air of uncertainty has taken hold of the political winds, as ANTIFA and violent rioter and looters take to the streets of Americas largest cities, causing massive mayhem and destruction. These mobs have gotten more aggressive in recent weeks, with shootings taking place...

With the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police, the Black Lives Matter movement received a much needed added boost back into the national conversation in recent months. However, as peaceful protests have more recently been descending into rioting and looting at the hands of bad actors who are co-opting the BLM movement (like ANTIFA, looters, etc...), we've watched the positive sentimen...

Third party candidates have an uphill battle. It's a fact. And on top of the traditional struggles third party candidates face, our "pick-one" voting systems have only entrenched the "lesser of two evils" in our government, by giving us the same, tired, "red team vs. blue team" battle. With legitimate third party candidates (like Dr. Jo Jorgensen), Americans deserve to have more than one choice fo...

Hey there, friends! Another great BONUS episode for you this week, as I am once again joined by friend of the show and friend of the host, Gary Collins! Gary returns to the show to talk about something that's truly missing in our society... personal responsibility. It sounds cliche, when looking at all of our problems as a country, the main culprit is in the lack of personal responsibility on beha...

"You need a representative that will support your ideas, fight for the needs of your community and earn your respect. For someone who truly stands behind your core beliefs..." That's the core message being promoted by today's guest, as I am joined by Libertarian Congressional candidate Steven Skelton!

Double the episodes for you this week, as this episode features Nico and Shaine from the What's HAPAning podcast to dig into something we really have discussed much at length here on the show, and that's one of keeping up with the culture. With both Nico and Shaine being prominent figures on social media with strong followings, they obviously are hitting at the right nerves, and with that, have a...

Government strikes again! Only this time, they're going after one of our own. Cliff Maloney, president of Young Americans for Liberty, joins the show to discuss that absolutely terrible (and almost entirely politically driven) decision by the City of Dallas to shut down YAL's "Mobilize 2020" conference with only a few days notice, costing YAL over $200,000 in non-refundable deposits and leaving ne...

What's the libertarian answer to policy issues that plauge major cities across the nation? Enter "Market Urbanism". Market Urbanism is the cross between free-market policy and urban issues. The theory calls for private-sector actions that create organic growth and voluntary exchange within cities, rather than ones enforced by government bureaucracy. It is thus a call for city growth and management...

How many libertarian podcasts can you think of that go into detail as to what is happening in China? I mean, let's be real... most of it is just general commentary about propaganda, censorship, and planned economies. For over a year, today's guest has been working on a book about China and just started his new podcast, the "China Unraveled" podcast, to explain what's actually going on inside the c...

What's the best way to advance the liberty movement? That's the age old question, isn't it? Well, our old friend Theodore from CrowdFundedGovernment.com has been thinking about that question in quite a bit of detail, and has an idea as to how libertarians and third parties can best find success in advancing their goals, and it's likely not the way you're thinking...

I often mention that libertarians need to have folks we can point to in the private sector as examples of libertarian principles flourishing in action. Today's guest is just such a person, as today I am joined by the Chief Marketing Officer of TigerFitness.com and Owner/CEO of the fastest growing supplement company, MTS Nutrition, Marc Lobliner. Marc is a self-described "libertarian" but stated in...

Welcome back, folks! Brad Polumbo returns to the show this week, and what a perfect time for him to come back on, as one of Brad's main focuses (criminal justice reform) is leading the headlines across the nation in response to the George Floyd murder at the hands of the police. Brad joins the show to specifically focus on ending qualified immunity and ending no-knock raids, two proposals currentl...

The past three months have been an absolute whirlwind... COVID-19 Nationwide lockdowns Meat Shortages Skyrocketing Unemployment George Floyd's Murder Black Lives Matter Protests Nationwide But now it's time to put things in perspective. Now it's time to not only map out how these all connected, but how they are all caused by the actions (or inaction) at the behest of the state. To help outline thi...

A special returning guest joins us for the show this week, as I am once again joined by the host of "Wealth, Power, and Influence", Jason Stapleton. Jason joins the show to discuss the recent change he took in regards to the focus of his show. Instead of focusing on politics, Jason has made it a point to focus on advancing the principles that lead to true liberty. Later, Jason gives his perspectiv...

It's hard to imagine, but we're already almost to June! Isn't that wild? Feels like just yesterday we were in March... Well, though most of us have been locked down, time still moves forward, meaning we are one day closer to the 2020 Election! And with that, candidates are having to reach voters in different ways versus traditional door-knocking and shaking hands at parades, making podcasts a grea...
