After the defeat of Donald Trump at the ballot box in November, the fight for the reigns of the GOP has never been more intense. Trump has even been rumored to want to stay involved in politics, be it with the GOP, or with his own party/movement.

Kenny Cody returns to the show to dig into this new discussion of a "Patriot Party", as Kenny argues a "Patriot movement" might be exactly what the GOP needs.

2020 has show just how unprepared government is in terms of being able to address immediate problems and concerns on a public policy perspective. And with that, those groups that have been traditionally marginalized are learning first-hand how important it is to take one's own personal autonomy into their own hands.

Today's guess is Ermiya Fanaeian from SLC Pink Pistols, who joins the program to make the case as to why "armed queers don't get bashed", and how despite our other political differences (Ermiya is more left when it comes to economics), the importance of defending the ultimate minority - the individual - is paramount.

A proposed section of the public health law in New York would allow Gov. Andrew Cuomo to detain ANY person he believes poses a danger to public health, meaning all it would take is a single order from the governor, then poof, quarantine camp.

So... how close is this to reality? Assembly Mark Walczyk returns to the program to give his inside scoop into where this proposal came from and the likelihood of it reaching the Governor's desk.

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!)

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.
