The Coalition Purple podcast (formerly Beer Money America) is a show about third party politics for normal people. Your hosts: -- Bill Hornung, a recovering Democrat who leans progressive yet is now a registered Independent. -- John Phipps, a former Libertarian who leans conservative... but also is now a registered Independent. We’re the podcast for anyone uninterested in today’s politics, but do care about the country! So our goal is to have fun, rational discussions focused on solutions... not name-calling and other foolishness found in today's two-party system.Coalition Purple Ciencia Política Política y Gobierno

  • POLITICAL COMMONSENSE HAS LEFT THE GOP & DEMS… IT’S UP TO OTHER FORCES
    Jul 20 2025

    Attending a soccer match and watching the MLB All-Star Game inspired us this week. We need more positive experiences to bring people together. Especially if we are going to have conversations about complicated topics like immigration.

    We think a new political party may be the easiest way to getpeople to come together to find solutions to our problems. The alternative is just more pendulum swings to one extreme or the other with each new administration.

    We know that Elon Musk is polarizing but a central figuremay be needed to prevent a new party from disappearing into obscurity like Ross Perot’s Reform Party. It still exists but most people don’t know about it.

    Getting Independents to coalesce around a “spoiler” candidate is harder than herding cats. Our hope is that Independents, moderates from the two main parties, and the politically homeless will support Elon’s America Party. But we need your help. Let’s get the word out to Elon. Or at least to Joe Rogan.

  • GOP WAS THE LAST SUCCESSFUL 3RD PARTY… IS ANOTHER ON THE HORIZON?
    Jul 13 2025

    Could it be that the dawn of a new political party isfinally upon us? The Republican Party was a successful third party during the existential crisis of slavery. We’re hoping that Elon Musk’s America Party could be the solution we need during our current economic crisis.

    We are in favor of a bottom up approach to local politics.This approach could also work in terms of reforming the existing parties. But a top down approach might be needed for the success of a new party.

    Elon checks all the boxes in terms of what is needed to geta new party off the ground. He has the funding. He’s a recognizable figure with a clear vision of the governmental reforms he would like to implement. And he’san innovator who has shown that he’s capable of success.

    But will he flame out like so many before him? Or go off the rails so far he turns many away. This episode is the first of what may be a series of “Dear Elon” episodes where we tell him what we think is needed to launch a successful party.

    Join the Coalition and help us get the word out to him.

  • LOOK AWAY FROM THE SHINY ‘POLITICAL’ OBJECTS
    Jun 14 2025

    GOP & Dems love to distract you!

    Coalition Purple is all about addressing problems that needto be solved. But we get it… it’s easyto get distracted.

    This past week Sen. Alex Padilla crashed a press conferenceand Sen. Rand Paul was excluded from the White House Congressionalpicnic.

    As this episode is being recorded Trump is planning topreside over a military parade on his birthday and that will be one of the mostbizarre moments in American history.

    We’re here to remind people to look away from these shinyobjects and focus on what needs to be done.

    For example, Elon Musk has stated that we need a newpolitical party in America and we agree. We have some advice for him if he actuallydecides to start a new party.

    Keep it simple.

    Focus on government efficiency and transparency. Candidatesshould commit to prioritizing calm, fair, objective, non-partisan auditing of governmentspending at whatever level they will serve (city, state, etc.).

    Embrace the idea that a new party will be a minorityparty. And that’s OK!

    You can’t improve the system without addressing the rootcauses of the problems. You don’t need to be Goliath. Be David.

    There is no better time for a new political party. In fact,maybe we need dozens or hundreds of new political parties.

    So, what say you Elon… or any rational human being that has a large platform to get it done?
