Episode 8: We Choose Up – Rejecting Elitism and Trusting the People

In this episode, we dive into the timeless wisdom of Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman: Government should be a referee, not a player — and as it expands, liberty contracts. Reagan warned it’s not left or right, it’s up or down: up to freedom and self-governance, or down to elite-controlled coercion. We reject the elitist lie that distant experts know better than free people. The American spirit thrives when we trust individuals to make their own decisions. Strength, resolve, and voluntary cooperation over submission. We choose up. No surrender.
