    Liberty Blues Ep. 114 The Empire is coming home
    Jan 26 2026
    Today on The Liberty Blues: The empire's abusive tactics—once exported overseas—are now coming home to American streets. Brandon Jackson, Southern California Coordinator for the Libertarian Party and longtime activist, joins host Shawn Osborne. A committed Second Amendment advocate, Brandon has been protesting for years—most recently at ICE demonstrations—calling to abolish ICE and other alphabet agencies. He condemns right-wing criticism of the man shot by ICE agents simply for possessing a firearm (without using or brandishing it), emphasizing that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry for everyone. The conversation urges listeners to get involved locally: join your Libertarian Party, run for office, attend protests, stand for nonviolence—and if no one else is stepping up, be the first to defend liberty. Principled and action-oriented—listen now!

  • Liberty Blues Ep.111 Matthew Laszacs for US house, North Carolina

    Liberty Blues Ep.111 Matthew Laszacs for US house, North Carolina
    Jan 1 2026
    Matthew Laszacs was raised in a military family and came to liberty not through theory alone, but through lived experience. While working full-time and raising two children, he earned a BS in Business Administration by attending school nights and weekends. He has spent more than 15 years running operations, where building consensus, solving real problems, and making systems work mattered more than slogans. Those experiences shaped a practical approach to liberty: one focused on applying freedom within existing institutions, laws, and incentives rather than tearing everything down. Matthew believes people aren’t broken—systems are—and that liberty advances best when it’s implemented thoughtfully, incrementally, and with broad agreement. His goal is to work with others in Congress to push liberty forward in ways that measurably improve people’s lives. Anyone interested in Matthew’s campaign for the US House of Representatives or his thoughts on practical liberty can reach him via his website (matt4nc.us), his sub stack (@practicalliberty), or on X (@MattLaszacs4NC).
