For those not already well aware, the Libertarian Party had a problem nominating libertarians for several election cycles after 2004. That changed in 2020 with Jo Jorgensen's nomination.

The Libertarian Party nominated a libertarian. Baby steps.

But a lot of people were disappointed in the Jorgensen campaign's failure to oppose the Covid Regime. There were even clips of Jo campaigning outside in a mask. Not a good look for a party that should be opposing totalitarianism with all its might. 

That's not to mention the Chair of the party in 2020, who never saw a left wing obsession he didn't like. 

In 2022, the Mises Caucus took over the LP promising to bring the "Ron Paul version" of libertarianism to the party. They won every office within the party, including Chair, and expected their preferred candidate, Michael Rectenwald, to win the party's nomination for president.

But after a contentious convention, Chase Oliver won the nomination. For many in the party, this was seen as a return to the Nick Sawark version of the party. 

But is it really? Certainly, Oliver has taken some positions many libertarians don't like and failed miserably on the Covid Regime. But he's also solid on important issues like foreign policy and economics.

Oliver is no Ron Paul, but is there a case for Chase?

I give my answer to that question on today's episode of Tom Mullen Talks Freedom.
