## Resource

Nate went to the Libertarian National Convention and came back exhausted, frustrated, and convinced the LP has a serious problem. This is his eyewitness breakdown of the convention chaos, the LPNH fight, the rubber chicken heckling, the property rights dispute, and why national LP politics keeps failing liberty. The Libertarian Party should be focused on real-world freedom, lower taxes, less war, property rights, and reducing government power. Instead, Nate argues the convention exposed constant infighting, procedural fights, faction battles, and a party more focused on controlling the "libertarian" brand than winning liberty for actual people. This episode covers the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire controversy, Jeremy Kauffman, the disaffiliation fight, the viral slap incident, promo materials, private property, and why state and local liberty work may matter more than national party drama. 00:00 Good Morning Liberty 01:45 The Libertarian National Convention was a mess 04:00 Why libertarianism is not growing 05:30 No real strategy for more liberty 08:00 Party over principles in the LP 09:30 What has the national LP actually accomplished? 15:45 New LP leadership and the first controversy 18:15 Bylaws, delegate rules, and procedural games 23:15 Jeremy Kauffman and the LPNH fight 25:00 Rubber chickens and heckling speakers 37:15 The alleged Nazi salute moment 41:00 The viral slap and property rights dispute 59:00 What liberty-minded people should do now 01:12:00 Lynn Ulbricht and the good people still doing the work Links: Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 Join the Fed Haters Club @ joingml.com All links @ gml.bio.li…
