Ep. 202 with Robert-Joseph Reed, President of YAL at Thomas College

Robert Joseph Reed, president of Young Americans for Liberty at Thomas College, joins Chuck Ellis to talk about building a campus chapter, free speech, free markets, and why young people are pushing back against socialist ideas in Maine. Robert grew up in Livermore Falls, got into debate at Waterville High, and founded YAL at Thomas after seeing how hard it is for students to talk politics without getting shut down. They cover COVID-era skepticism, debate night on campus, why students hide their views from professors, a student-rights campaign to allow non-lethal self-defense tools, and how YAL is using karaoke, bingo, and other events to make liberty ideas easier to hear.
