The ideals of Liberty are sorely wanting in today's American Republic. Some are willing to fight to reassert constitutional principles even though our two-party system resists any attempt to return power to the people. Austin Petersen represents a new generation of libertarian leaders who remain faithful to the promotion of liberty and constitutional principles in the public square. As a former Libertarian Party presidential candidate and GOP Senate candidate in Missouri, he doesn't just sit on the sidelines wishing things would change.
Libertarians have been suspicious of Donald Trump. Whether it's the continuing growth in federal spending, executive orders, and trade sanctions and tarrifs, they often remain skeptical. But as Trump takes on the "military-industrial complex" returning troops and continues to push back against federal power Donald Trump has also taken actions about which libertarians should be pleased. Austin made waves in the libertarian movement recently because he said he might vote for Donald Trump. We discuss the fallout and why libertarians should think about taking the gains Trump has given them. And we consider the state of the liberty movement today.
Austin Peterson hosts the KWOS Morning Show in Jefferson City, MO. In addition to being a Former Libertarian Party Presidential candidate and former GOP US Senate candidate in Missouri, Austin is a former Associate Producer of Judge Andrew Napolitano's FoxBusiness show FreedomWatch. He is the owner of The Libertarian Republic news magazine. He also is the owner of a French Bulldog and a new website, FrenchieBS.com.
