This week meet the party whose mantra is “good ideas don’t have to be mandatory.”

Host T.J. O’Hara is joined by the Libertarian National Committee Chair Nicholas Sarwark. The two discuss the Libertarian Party’s core principles; where the party stands in relation to Trump’s economic policies, healthcare, the Dakota Access Pipeline, the U.S. military, and immigrant vetting; and what’s next for the Libertarian Party.

Nicholas Sarwark is a second generation Libertarian with a commitment to fighting for fair ballot access for the libertarian candidates around the country. Sarwark was a criminal defense attorney, served as a deputy public defender in Colorado, has more than a decade in computer consulting and sales experience, and recently moved to Arizona to join the family business, the oldest independent auto dealership in Phoenix.
