Young Voices contributor Brayden Myers joins Josh to discuss Missouri's Senate Bill 145. With the passage of Senate Bill 145, Missouri is eliminating taxes and regulations that hinder young entrepreneurs.

We're joined by Alejandro J. Ramos, Young Voices contributor and Founder of the Ramos Research Institute. Based at Cornell University, Ramos is sounding the alarm on what's missing in our schools today: patriotism and civic education. Too many young Americans grow up not understanding the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or even what it means to be an American. Instead, they're fed a steady diet of divisive ideologies that weaken national pride. Ramos explains why restoring civic education is vital for the future of our Republic, how we can instill love of country in the next generation, and why teaching kids about freedom, duty, and responsibility is the antidote to the cultural decline we see all around us.

Is Canada making a huge mistake by pivoting away from the U.S.? The U.S.–Canada relationship has been one of the most stable alliances in modern history – but political shifts, global instability, and rising threats from China, Russia, and Iran are testing that bond like never before. In this hard-hitting episode, we dig into the reality behind the headlines and ask the tough question: Can Canada survive – economically or militarily – without the United States at its side? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS For decades, Canada and the U.S. have fought alongside each other in major conflicts, defended shared interests, and benefited from an open, secure global trade system. But now, Canadian leaders are entertaining new defense and trade alignments, some even calling for a “pivot” away from Washington. Is this bold independence… or dangerous overconfidence? Joining me is Anthony De Luca-Baratta of Young Voices, who argues that the U.S.–Canada partnership isn't just about friendship – it's about survival. From shared geopolitical goals to economic interdependence, we explore why both nations need each other more than ever. We also unpack Canada's defense spending gap, its reliance on U.S. protection, and what that means in a world where American voters are increasingly skeptical of global policing. We don't shy away from the hard truths: America's foreign policy has been messy, sometimes overreaching, and costly – and Canadians have followed us into conflicts with questionable returns. But what happens if the U.S. steps back completely? Could Canada stand on its own in a hostile world, or would it be forced into dangerous compromises with regimes that don't share its values? If you care about national sovereignty, North American security, and the future of one of the world's most important alliances, you can't afford to miss this episode. This is more than just U.S.–Canada relations – it's a case study in how nations balance independence, alliances, and self-interest in an increasingly unstable world. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

International Youth Day is celebrated annually on 12 August. This year's theme is “Local Youth Actions for the Sustainable Development Goals and Beyond.” To mark the occasion, SBS Hindi spoke with young people in Sydney and Melbourne to hear their thoughts on environmental issues and to understand their awareness and appreciation of the environment.

On July 29, young leaders from over 130 countries gather in Beijing for the World Youth Conference for Peace, where they share ideas on building a more peaceful and sustainable future. With a strong presence from China and Africa, the event highlights the power of youth in promoting dialogue, cooperation, and green development. These young voices are shaping a new narrative of unity, action, and hope.

Young voters are the largest, most diverse voting bloc in the country, but they're also the most disillusioned. In this episode, we dig into the gap between political power and political participation among Gen Z and Millennial voters. Why do so many young people feel like voting doesn't matter? What's fueling their dissatisfaction, and what motivates them to show up?We break down the numbers, bust the myths, and spotlight the organizers, campaigns, and conversations that are shifting the narrative. From TikTok to town halls, this episode is a crash course in how to reach future voters where they are, and why their voices are essential to the future of democracy.

And don't worry if you're new to this bold, creative initiative. Olga and Anna provide episode recommendations to help you navigate the journey.  “It's such a wonderful opportunity,” says Jamie Flora, esteemed tenor and professor at UNM, of the university's collaboration with Santa Fe Opera. The dynamic program includes master classes on technique, audition logistics, performance critique, and resumé building, all designed to bridge the academic and professional opera worlds.  “We're planting seeds in their minds that this is possible!” explains Kristin Ditlow, Associate Professor of Vocal Coaching at UNM and Music Director of its Opera Theater. “We have pathways and relationships that get you from school to being a working singer.” Quiara Cortez followed one of those pathways to UNM, where she is now studying. She credits the collaboration with Santa Fe Opera for nurturing her artistic development. “Being able to talk with the best of the best and seeing what our next steps as people who are already in college might be.

Is Georgia the canary in the coal mine for a new Soviet-style rise in Eastern Europe? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart What if the war in Ukraine isn't just about Ukraine? What if it's a warning shot for the rest of us? In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we're diving into the underreported political firestorm brewing in Georgia - not the peach state, but the one nestled between Russia and Europe. Lika Kobeshavidze, a Georgian political writer and Young Voices fellow, joins Brian to unpack how her homeland is caught between freedom and authoritarianism, and why you should care. You'll hear firsthand what it was like growing up in a "free" Georgia only to see it slowly slip back into the grip of authoritarianism. From Russian occupation to election rigging, to government crackdowns on peaceful protestors, Lika shares a chilling reality that sounds all too familiar in today's global political climate. This isn't just history - it's happening now. But this episode isn't just doom and gloom. It's a masterclass in persuasion, messaging, and resistance. Brian and Lika dissect the cultural failures that allowed pro-Russia sentiment to creep back into Georgia and explore how smart marketing and narrative-building could turn the tide. Spoiler: it's not that different from what America just went through. We also tackle tough questions like: Is Russia a genuine global threat or just a declining empire with nukes? What's really stopping the EU and NATO from welcoming Georgia in? And how can the West provide meaningful support without triggering global war? Lika doesn't pull punches - and neither does Brian. If you've ever wondered how liberty can die slowly - not with tanks, but with laws - this is the conversation you can't afford to miss. Watch to the end for a rallying call to action and what YOU can do to support freedom in Georgia before it's too late. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Young Voices contributor, Lora Karch, joins Josh to discuss her recent article "Got Immigration Problems?

We love an encore! And this one's got it all: audition trends, futurecasting, and pragmatic advice for young opera talent. Key Change co-hosts Anna Garcia and Olga Perez Flora also serve up plenty of musical memories, behind-the-scenes intel, and a little love for the Santa Fe Opera as a venue as they continue their visit with Chandler Johnson. When we last met Chandler, he had introduced us to career paths less traveled. "There's more to this business than just singing,” he continues. Chandler knows this truth better than most. After discovering opera in his early teens, he pivoted from singing to arts administration. Chandler credits his years spent auditioning and performing for exposing him to career opportunities beyond the stage.  “Singing was my path to get to this place,” he confides, before launching into an impressive list of creative, collaborative opportunities within the opera ecosystem. "You can go into development, marketing and PR, media and AV. You can go into costuming and set design," he says, adding, "Having the experience of being a singer informs where you pivot in your life and in this art form." As for the art form in question, Chandler is not one to tinker with what works. "I wouldn't change anything about opera. I truly love the glitz, the glamor, the opulence, the stories, the chaos. I love it all!" he muses before offering one final piece of advice. "We just have to keep doing good art––keep doing good opera!––and the people will come."  KEY CHANGE RECOMMENDED PLAYLIST Taking Care of the Art with Chandler Johnson What's Opera to a Bunch of High School Students?

Can tariffs really bring back American greatness—or are they a ticking time bomb for the economy? In this hard-hitting episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive headfirst into one of the most misunderstood and politically charged tools in economics: tariffs. Brian sits down with Aidan Grogan from Young Voices and the American Institute for Economic Research to challenge the prevailing narratives from both the left and right. Are tariffs a weapon for economic revival—or just a tax on the American worker? If you're tired of political echo chambers and want a nuanced take, this is your episode. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart We kick things off by unpacking the emotional and economic appeal of protectionism. Aidan shares his transformation from a self-described protectionist to a proponent of free trade—backed by real-world outcomes from the Trump and Obama-era tariffs. Spoiler: they didn't exactly bring on a new golden age of American manufacturing. From real data to regional impact, this part of the conversation hits home hard. Then things get personal—and spicy. Brian challenges Aidan with some hard truths from the heartland: empty warehouses, lost jobs, and communities devastated by offshoring. Is it fair to cling to free trade when global competitors like China don't play by the same rules? What role should national security play in shaping trade policy? Can we have both principle and practicality? The conversation deepens with a reality check on automation, AI, and the future of work. Are declining manufacturing jobs a result of trade—or tech? And even if robots take over, who's left to buy the stuff they make? Aidan delivers a masterclass on unintended consequences while Brian pushes back with bold hypotheticals and hard-won sales insights from his B2B world. Finally, we land on common ground. Could tariffs—used wisely—actually become a tool to reduce trade barriers, not raise them? Can Congress reclaim its rightful power over trade policy? And what's the real risk of Trump's tariff tactics becoming more ideology than strategy? This episode isn't just a podcast—it's a crash course in economic warfare, political pragmatism, and what it means to play smart on the world stage. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Michigan expanded its state-funded pre-K program by 20,000 seats—but only 6,000 children enrolled. Why are parents opting out of free preschool programs like Head Start and the Great Start Readiness Program? In this episode, Chris Spangle talks with Susanna Barnes Pettit, a social mobility fellow with Young Voices, about parental choice, preschool funding, and why families still prefer community-based options like parochial or nature-based schools. Chris and Susanna also explore how universal pre-K fits into broader education debates, discuss their own childhood experiences, and reflect on what parents truly want in early childhood education. Petitt: Michigan's Pre-K promise can do more to reach families - https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2025/02/23/petitt-michigans-pre-k-promise-can-do-more-to-reach-families/79433009007/ https://youtu.be/tXSKMSgR0ks Learn more about your ad choices.

Are tariffs taxes in disguise? Matt Cookson, a policy fellow at Young Voices and contributor at the Mises Institute, explains the complicated truth behind tariffs. Learn why the U.S. Constitution originally placed tariff-setting power in the hands of Congress and how it ended up under presidential control during the Roosevelt administration. Cookson details how tariffs actually harm consumers, disrupt supply chains, and inject uncertainty into markets. Plus, we discuss the political realities that make Congress hesitant to reclaim its authority and what steps they could take—such as repealing the 1934 Reciprocal Tariffs Act—to restore constitutional balance.
