    Christian Nationalism, Free Expression, and the Future of Liberty
    Sep 28 2025
    Chris Spangle, Harry Price, and Reinhold reunite for a new episode of We Are Libertarians. The hosts reintroduce themselves and reflect on the history of the show before diving into today’s big issues. They discuss the speed of the news cycle, public trust in media, right- and left-wing biases, and why local journalism still matters. The conversation also explores libertarian principles, cultural debates, Christian nationalism, and the role of free speech in a divided society. Tune in for sharp analysis, humor, and spirited discussion as three different libertarian perspectives come together to debate politics and culture. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Grill Pilled: Chris Spangle on Escaping Political Idolatry and Reclaiming Real Life

    Grill Pilled: Chris Spangle on Escaping Political Idolatry and Reclaiming Real Life
    Jun 25 2025
    I was honored to (and surprised) to be asked as a guest on Jacob Winograd's show The LCI Green Room over at the Libertarian Christian Institute to talk about the “Grill Pill”—a mindset that’s all about stepping back from the chaos of national politics to focus on what really matters: faith, family, community, and yes, sometimes literally grilling. He and I unpack the emotional toll of constant political engagement, why many of us are disillusioned with activism, and how to reorder our lives around what God has actually called us to. We talk about libertarianism, Christian cultural engagement, and the dangers of making politics an idol. This one’s honest, raw, and full of hard-won wisdom. Hope it helps you recalibrate.

  • What is the future of Libertarianism in a Populist World?

    What is the future of Libertarianism in a Populist World?
    Jan 4 2025
    We start out the show with a couple of personal announcements about my family and career, and then Harry Price, Rhinehold and I deal with the fact that it's hard to be a principled libertarian. First, there are some good things the government does at a local level. Secondly, the libertarian ideology is barely popular with libertarians. So I ask them, "what's the point?" Harry gives me a good answer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Trump Storms Back To Power With Big Majorities

    Trump Storms Back To Power With Big Majorities
    Nov 9 2024
    It is finally over! Donald Trump won the presidency in one of the greatest political comebacks in American history. Why did Trump win, and why did Kamala Harris lose? We look at 2024's fear-based political messaging from both sides and the mental health crisis it caused, the economic frustrations across America, and the disillusionment of younger generations. We also look at the Libertarian Party's fifth-place finish and why, and we touch on the role of local community engagement in political change.

    Robert Kennedy Jr. has dropped out of the Presidential race, and in his exit speech, he gave a scathing indictment of the Democratic Party and the Mainstream media that was worth hearing. Rhinehold, Hodey Johns, and I listen to it and explain why the two-party system has a stranglehold on our country.
