The Brian Nichols Show231: Sunday Candidate Highlight Series- New Jersey Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Gregg Mele.
New Jersey was one of the hardest hit states by the COVID pandemic, and the government's response to COVID likely ended up causing more pain than the virus alone.
Governor Phil Murphy even went as far to say that worrying about the Bill of Rights was "above his pay grade" when being pressed on his administration's lockdown tactics.
Gregg Mele decided that enough was enough, and announced that he was seeking to unseat Phil Murphy as governor under the Libertarian Party. Gregg joins the program to outline specifically why he is running for governor, and...2021-04-1834 min
The Brian Nichols Show220: Selling Liberty to New Jersey -with Michael Rufo (NJLP VP of Political Affairs)
2020 brought a lot of unprecedented challenges, with dozens of states taking unconstitutional actions to "protect" their citizens. One such state is New Jersey.
With the crackdown on civil liberties in response to the COVID pandemic, Governors like Phil Murphy unintentionally fired up activists all around the country. In New Jersey, the pro-liberty movement is alive and well, and that's in large part due to today's guest: Michael Rufo (NJLP VP of Political Affairs).
Mike ran for office as a Libertarian in past elections, but now is focused on helping bring pro-liberty policy to New Jersey...2021-03-2934 minScience Fiction 101It's About Time (episode 02)This time: TIME!

The Brian Nichols Show199: Phil Labonte from All that Remains- Influencing the Culture
"Politics are always downstream from culture."
Raise your hand if you've heard that famous utterance from the late Andrew Breitbart at least once in your life. Well, as cliche as it may sound, we see it first hand in the manner in which our society has so quickly adapted to the promoted culture of the Hollywood and leftist elite.
So, is it possible to help reign in the power? Or at least, to use it to our advantage?

WOVE Inspiration - People With a Story, Giving God the Glory!Monday Morning Motivation with special guest, Master Ventriloquist Phil Nichols!Phil Nichols has been a ventriloquist for 45 years. His first exposure to ventriloquism was in church in 1969 when I was 5 years old. A missionary named Harvey Wadloe was raising funds for his mission to go to Africa and New Guinea. He was a Ventriloquist and so when he made his dummy speak to me he responded: “Shut up dummy!” Phil was hooked from then on.
