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.

97: Rethinking American Foreign Policy/War with Iran? with Pratik Chougule
January 10th, 2020 | 31 mins 56 secs
congress, conservative, democrat, democratic party, donald trump, foreign policy, government, house of representatives, impeachment, iran, liberal, libertarian, libertarian party, liberty, media, neocons, news, president trump, press, primary, republican, republican party, senate, war hawks, war with iran
With commentators proclaiming that World War III is just around the corner due to increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, the United States' foreign policy is at the forefront of the national conversation. With conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro singing the praises of President Trump's more hawkish approach to the increasing tensions with Iran (which Shapiro has seemingly toned down in recent days), I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a former self-described "neocon" who ended up becoming a "foreign policy realist" on the show to discuss their own personal growth and change of mindset.
Joining the show is Pratik Chougule. Chougule is a researcher at Boston College's Center for International Higher Education, where he is writing a book about American universities in the greater Middle East. He was previously an executive editor at The American Conservative and managing editor at The National Interest. During the 2016 election cycle, Chougule served as policy coordinator on the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. From 2008-2009, Chougule was a George W. Bush appointee at the State Department in the Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Chougule graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University and holds a JD from Yale Law School.
Listen as Chougule discusses his take on foreign policy, his critiques of the traditional neocon/hawkish foreign policy, the rising tensions of Iran, and finally his perspective of where the world stands after the 2020 election with regards to foreign relations and policy.

Our old, exclusionary, geographically-based education system is not educating children the way it promises to. Parents have been fighting for the ability to get their kids into schools that don’t constantly fail them decade after decade, only to be denied by the public education establishment, and the various policies promoted by the school choice movement give parents autonomy over their children’s education.
Joining The Brian Nichols Show today is Michael Torres from the Commonwealth Foundation. Michael is the Senior Communications Office over at the Commonwealth Foundation and joins the show to help dispel some myths regarding school choice and to speak to the value that school choice has in helping further our youths' education.
