This was an interview in the hallway after an event.

We should engage in a friendly takeover of the Libertarian Party.

We should rebrand it.

And we should empower Gen Z to save themselves by wresting power away from the boom.

These are politically homeless people who came together as part of Maha, as part of the America First movement.

and supported Trump and are now feeling betrayed.

That coalition is in a position to, I want to be careful with the terminology, to make a friendly takeover of the Libertarian Party.

Now, I know every eyeball in the room is going to roll when I say Libertarian Party, okay? Here's the question, though.

But the Advocates for Self-Government is an educational nonprofit organization.

We've been around for 41 years now originally founded in Fresno, California, by a number of people, including a gentleman named Marshall Fritz, who was an extraordinary libertarian activist, was close with David Nolan, who co-founded the Libertarian Party.

And Marshall Fritz had previously been an IBM salesman.

He caught the liberty bug at some point in his life and decided that he wanted to dedicate his life's work and mission to spreading and advocating for liberty and libertarian ideas.

And he saw the best way to do that was after doing some work with the Libertarian Party, decided that he wanted to focus on the educational side of things in particular.

And then on the other axis, it looked at what role should government have in terms of managing your personal life and the personal decisions that you make.

And so you had this new model which was born and it was aptly named the Nolan Chart.

Sometime later, Marshall Fritz got the idea to figure out how to deploy this concept.
