Nathan Fatal: Why Liberty Needs Builders, Not Bystanders
Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. Nathan Fatal believes liberty does not advance when people simply notice problems. It advances when ordinary people decide to lead, organize, and act. In this conversation, Sean Themea talks with Nathan about why awareness without action leads to apathy, how leadership begins long before anyone has a title, and what he learned helping people respond to government overreach at the local level in Los Angeles. Nathan explains why so many people who care about freedom still hesitate to take the first step, why small wins matter in building confidence, and why the future of liberty depends on more people choosing responsibility instead of waiting for permission. This is a conversation about civic courage, practical leadership, and what it takes to help build a freer society.

From Activist to State Representative: Dylan Jordan’s Fight for Liberty in South Dakota
Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. In this episode, Sean sits down with South Dakota State Representative Dylan Jordan, a young lawmaker who went from grassroots activism to elected office after deciding that if government was going to keep expanding, someone needed to step in and fight back directly. Representative Jordan shares how the ideas of liberty first took hold during the Tea Party era, why the response to the coronavirus period pushed him into local activism, and how direct pressure on elected officials eventually led him to run for office himself. The conversation explores his fight against taxpayer funded lobbying, his push to protect property rights from eminent domain abuse, his support for campus carry, and why too many politicians become cautious the moment they enter office. Jordan also explains what he learned while campaigning across one of South Dakota’s largest districts, why grassroots action still changes outcomes, and why liberty candidates must be willing to stay firm even when it makes them outsiders. This is a conversation about conviction, courage, and refusing to lose your principles once you have power. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, or YouTube.

Lou Perez on Comedy, Free Speech, and Why Humor Still Matters for Liberty
Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. Today’s guest is Lou Perez, comedian, writer, and cultural commentator, whose work has shown that humor can do far more than entertain. It can challenge bad ideas, expose political absurdity, and defend the principles of a free society in ways that straight argument often cannot. Known for his appearances on Gutfeld!, his writing, and his sharp commentary on culture and politics, Lou joins Sean to talk about how comedy became one of his most effective tools for advancing liberty. He shares how his path into comedy came long before politics, why free speech remains essential to a healthy culture, and why creative people should never surrender the cultural battlefield to those who fear open debate. This conversation explores the First Amendment, the role of humor in breaking down ideological walls, and why liberty still needs voices willing to say what others are afraid to say, with courage, intelligence, and wit. It is a conversation about comedy, culture, courage, and using humor to defend the freedoms that make everything else possible.

Senator Rand Paul on Liberty, Debt, and Why Principle Must Matter More Than Party
Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. In this conversation, Rand Paul reflects on the ideas that first shaped his belief in liberty, growing up in a household where free markets, limited government, and constitutional thinking were part of everyday life. From the influence of Former Congressman Ron Paul to the writings of Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek, he explains why individual freedom remains at the center of his public life. The conversation explores why Senator Paul believes America’s greatest long term threat comes from debt, unchecked federal spending, and a growing loss of confidence in free market economics. He also explains why he continues to stand apart from both parties when constitutional limits, war powers, and balanced budgets are at stake, even when that independence comes with political cost. It is a conversation about courage, consistency, free markets, and why liberty requires leaders willing to stand firm when party pressure pushes the other direction.

Lyn Ulbricht on Freeing Ross, Fighting Cruel Sentencing, and Why Mercy Still Matters in America
Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. Today’s guest is Lyn Ulbricht, the mother of Ross Ulbricht and one of the most determined advocates for mercy, justice, and human dignity in the liberty movement. What began as a mother’s fight to save her son from dying in federal prison became a much larger mission to expose cruel sentencing, defend the Bill of Rights, and remind Americans that government power must always have limits. Lyn shares the devastating story of Ross’s arrest, trial, and double life sentence plus forty years, the deep disillusionment she felt watching the justice system fail her son, and the nearly twelve year grassroots campaign that ultimately led to his freedom. She explains what it was like to keep going through crushing setbacks, how a movement formed around Ross, and why President Trump’s pardon was nothing short of life changing. But this conversation goes far beyond one family’s story. Lyn makes the case that America’s prison and sentencing system has grown far too cruel, especially for nonviolent offenders. She speaks about the human cost of excessive punishment, the families destroyed by decades long sentences, the children left behind, and why life without parole and extreme federal sentencing should alarm anyone who cares about liberty. This is a conversation about justice, mercy, perseverance, and the kind of courage it takes to keep fighting when the system tells you there is no hope. If you care about the Bill of Rights, free speech, criminal justice reform, and protecting people from unchecked government cruelty, you will not want to miss this conversation with Lyn Ulbricht.
