Good Morning Liberty

Charlie and Nate break down CNN's bizarre framing of the New York bombing story, the media scramble around Zohran Mamdani, the pile-on against Brandon Herrera, Laura Loomer blaming Tucker Carlson for a synagogue attack, Ben Shapiro's war-selling theatrics, and Lindsey Graham sounding like he's personally redrawing the Middle East. They also hit the "short-term pain for long-term gain" talking point avalanche, the absurd Virginia gun comments about silencers and "telescopes," the Department of War's insane end-of-budget spending spree, and a quick economics lesson after people freak out over Dunkin' Donuts throwing away leftovers. If you like blunt takes on media narratives, war propaganda, government waste, and elite hypocrisy, this one's for you. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Trump rolled into Kentucky to torch Thomas Massie, and the whole thing turned into a loyalty test, a smear campaign, and a pretty brutal self-own. Nate and Charlie break down the anti-Massie rally, the claims Trump made from the stage, and why the case against Massie looks a lot more like punishment for independence than a real argument. They get into the omnibus bill nonsense, the fake choice between good policy and garbage spending, why Massie's constitutional consistency makes him such a threat to party machines, and how Ed Gallrein came off as a made-for-TV yes-man instead of a serious challenger. They also dig into betting market reactions, primary dynamics, and why this whole stunt may have actually helped Massie.

The Pentagon didn't just waste money on lobster and fruit baskets. It burned through $93 billion in one month because government incentives reward waste. In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, we break down the preliminary findings around the strike on a school in Iran, what "boots on the ground" would actually mean, and why skepticism of military intervention is still the only sane position. We also get into the Department of Defense September spending spike, luxury purchases, furniture, instruments, and the "use it or lose it" budget scam. We also cover the Jones Act, oil shipments, Puerto Rico, and how protectionist laws make energy and shipping more expensive while pretending to be pro-America. If you care about government waste, war accountability, military spending, energy prices, and libertarian analysis, this episode is for you. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Nate and Chuck discuss ongoing U.S.-Israel actions in the Iran war and argue that Fox News commentary is framing the conflict as already won, including talk of quickly declaring "mission accomplished." Nate questions how strikes reportedly killed multiple Iranian leadership successors while a publicized meeting to select a new Ayatollah proceeded, and they review media clips featuring pro-war rhetoric and claims of an imminent Iranian threat. They focus on reports that an Iranian girls' school was hit, citing outlets saying U.S. airstrikes were responsible, debating missile footage that resembles a Tomahawk, and noting officials' "still investigating" responses while Trump claims Iran did it. They also cover oil depot strikes and "oil rain" in Tehran, warn of rally-around-the-flag effects, unclear objectives, possible escalation with Russia/China involvement, and express anti-war concerns as U.S. service members die. 00:00 Show Kickoff Banter 01:01 Iran War On The Agenda 01:53 Mission Accomplished Media Spin 02:34 Succession Strike Mystery 04:48 Fox News Clash Clip 09:00 War To End Wars Talk 10:17 Declare Victory Debate 13:45 What Winning Even Means 20:05 Lindsey Graham Goes Wild 21:37 Endless War Spiral Fears 22:03 Next Targets After Iran 23:42 Imminent Threat Narrative 24:25 Trump Missile Boast Clip 25:09 School Strike Evidence 27:24 Missile ID and Timeline 30:33 Officials Dodge Accountability 32:40 Propaganda Logic Breaks 36:31 Oil Depots and Public Backlash 42:57 Can This War Succeed 44:58 Closing Anti War Message 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

As libertarians, we all agree: taxation is theft. But in this episode, Dr. James Harrigan joins Josh to wrestle with a question that hits close to home for many of us—what if some level of taxation is the "necessary evil" that prevents worse evils in society? They dive into what, if anything, is the legitimate role of government in a free society: What services, if any, do free people truly need from the state to protect private property, individual liberty, and the equal human value of every citizen? And what moral dilemmas arise when there's no government "stop-gap" at all. Does pure voluntarism leave the vulnerable exposed? What uncomfortable realities would we face in a purely voluntary system, and would we be okay with those realities? Obviously, this isn't about defending the state—it's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable look at the internal conflicts we libertarians face when principle meets real-world messiness.

On a "Dumb Bleep of the Week" episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate (without co-host Charlie, who is sick) reviews major political/media moments tied to the escalating conflict with Iran. He criticizes officials' semantic claims that it's "not a war," especially Mike Johnson's "limited operation" framing, and highlights widespread war propaganda such as "two weeks from a nuke" and Iran being an "imminent threat for 47 years." Nate also covers War Powers disputes, partisan hypocrisy and "Obama did it" defenses, Lindsey Graham speaking for fallen troops, and reports of seeking cheaper Ukrainian-made interceptor drones amid expensive U.S. interceptor shortages. Other nominees include Ben Shapiro attacking Dave Smith's critique of U.S. foreign policy. The episode's voted winner is Glenn Beck posting a George Washington AI clip framed as support for Trump's Iran war. 00:00 War With Iran Tease 00:15 Show Intro Banter 01:20 Dumb Week Setup 02:45 Not A War Claim 06:59 Semantics Montage 09:16 War Propaganda Reel 11:43 Newsmax War Hype 19:27 Imminent Threat Spin 23:19 Regime Change Pitch 29:40 Lindsey Graham Troops 32:04 Interceptor Shortage 39:52 War Powers Mockery 41:13 Washington Quote Thread 43:29 Stephen A War Powers 45:11 Obama Did It Defense 49:14 Pelosi Libya Clip 51:33 Why Now Iran Strikes 55:50 Trump Denies Pressure 58:37 Shapiro vs Dave Smith 01:06:32 Glenn Beck George AI 01:14:51 Voting and Wrap Up 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Rubio and Speaker Mike Johnson went on camera and accidentally told the truth about the Iran strike story: the "imminent threat" wasn't Iran hitting us first, it was Israel acting and the US expecting the blowback. The guys tear apart the "proactively defensive" framing, ask why "America First" keeps turning into Middle East escalation, and roast the new version of the old sales pitch: Iran is always just months away from "immunity" and "blackmailing America." They also dig into what the War Powers Resolution actually says, why "defensive" is doing a lot of work in these interviews, and how Congress can stop a war of choice immediately if it wants to. Plus: a contractor joke that cuts way too close to home. 00:00 Rubio and Johnson admit the "imminent threat" framing 02:00 "Israel was determined" and the War Powers loophole vibe 03:30 "Great ally" logic and troops put in harm's way 05:20 Was there time for diplomacy or was it "now or never" 07:20 Rubio: "operation needed to happen" and the "immunity" claim 09:20 Netanyahu: "immune within months" and the sales pitch 11:50 Contractor joke, Iron Dome comparison, and the gaslighting point 15:00 The real "danger" is our bases and the bait-on-a-line analogy 16:40 War Powers Resolution basics and what Congress can do now 21:30 "Waffle House" theory for why it happened right now 22:20 Mike Johnson: "not required because it's defensive" 24:30 Leaks excuse, secret briefings, and why "defensive" matters 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Trump sold "no more endless wars" and "America First", then turned around and launched major combat operations in Iran. In this one, we break down the flip flop using Trump's own past anti-Iraq rhetoric, then compare it to the new "NeoCon Manifesto" style messaging. We dig into the propaganda lines already flooding the media ("imminent threat," "not Iraq," "we didn't start this war") and why those narratives are designed to bypass the Constitution. Then we hit the real problem: Congress. War Powers has been twisted into a permission slip for presidents to do whatever they want, while lawmakers dodge accountability because they do not want their names on the record. We close with founding-era quotes on war and why the framers tried to keep the "dog of war" on a leash.

Shaka Mitchell joins Josh to discuss school choice and the work he and his colleagues are doing at the American Federation for Children.

Friday means Dumb Bleep of the Week. We dig through Fed Haters Club submissions and let the live group vote on the most ridiculous story in politics and culture. This week: NYC rolls out "emergency snow shovelers" with passport-level paperwork, while the same crowd fights voter ID. The Senate claims it is "too busy" for the SAVE Act, but somehow finds time for a Doggy Gras parade. Gavin Newsom says he "can't read a speech" and a viral post about the crowd turns out to be straight-up misleading. An Oregon rep ties RFK Jr and whole milk to "white supremacy" because of course. Bernie Sanders argues billionaires leaving California means they want kids to die, then dodges a brutal question about why the US dominates tech innovation. And yes, we end with the Olympic hockey joke that triggered a national meltdown. 00:00 Intro 03:31 NYC Snow Shoveler Fiasco 09:36 Tax Cut Math 12:23 Save Act Filibuster Fight 17:49 Senate Doggy Gras Detour 19:51 Newsom Voter ID Excuse 21:45 Dyslexia Clip Fact Check 30:36 Milk And White Supremacy 34:00 State Of The Union Cringe 40:03 Bernie Wealth Tax Rant 43:36 California Tax Skepticism 44:56 Bernie Dodges Innovation 46:53 Profit Incentives Explained 49:54 Europe vs US Culture 55:14 Libertarian Ticket Debate 01:03:04 Trump Hockey Joke Fallout 01:19:57 Instagram Outrage Spiral 01:25:46 Voting and Wrap Up 🚨Prolon is offering listeners 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!

Trump gave a polished, rally-style State of the Union with big emotional beats, crowd-control mastery, and a closer packed with founding-era quotes. We break down why it plays so well on TV, and why the policy claims still don't add up. We hit: The "protect Americans, not illegal aliens" stand-up moment and the performative outrage Housing affordability spin: "low interest rates" vs the actual price problem and supply shortage Tariffs, the Supreme Court ruling, and the fantasy that tariffs can replace the income tax without slashing government The new "War on Fraud," plus the red-line rhetoric on Iran and how fast it turns into a war pitch If you want the libertarian lens on incentives, power, and propaganda, you're in the right place.

Trump might strike Iran tomorrow or never, and that uncertainty is the point. Nate and Chuck break down why the real scandal is how quickly "limited government" voices become fine with unilateral war when it is their guy in charge. They react to Tucker Carlson's interview with Mike Huckabee, including the moment Huckabee doesn't push back at all on the assumption that war with Iran is coming. Then they dig into a University of Maryland poll showing only 21% support for initiating an attack, and the even bigger problem: most people cannot explain whose interests this war serves. Finally, they walk through the War Powers framework, why Congress is supposed to own this decision, and why the public's apathy keeps empowering forever-war politics.

The Supreme Court just kneecapped Trump's "tariffs by emergency" strategy, and Nate and Chuck break down why that's actually a huge win for limiting presidential power. They dig into the scary argument hiding underneath it: if "regulate" secretly means "tax," then any president can invent arbitrary taxes across the entire federal regulatory state. Not great when the next "emergency" is climate, guns, or whatever cable news is screaming about. Then the show pivots to the MAGA vs MAHA fracture over glyphosate and Roundup. An executive order, a farm bill immunity push, and the ugly Monsanto paper trail that explains why people don't trust "the experts." Plus: Seattle's gig worker pay law backfires, California ships gas on a bizarre Bahamas loophole because of the Jones Act, and the low-IQ smears aimed at Thomas Massie heat up. 00:00 Welcome 01:14 SCOTUS Strikes Trump's IEEPA Tariffs: What the Ruling Actually Means 04:24 Regulate vs Tax: Why Tariffs Are Congress's Job (and Why It Matters) 12:06 Loopholes, Fees, and the Slippery Slope for Future Presidents 19:25 Kavanaugh's Dissent: The Roadmap to Tariffs via Other Statutes 21:42 Refunds, Market Reaction, and the Left's Mixed Incentives 24:01 MAGA vs MAHA: Glyphosate/Roundup, DPA EO, and Farm Bill Immunity 30:32 Monsanto Papers: Ghostwritten Science, Emails, and Lawsuit Fallout 36:00 Dumb Democrats: 'Nobody Called Trump Hitler/Racist' and Newsom's Spin 40:28 Newsom's 'Historically Illiterate' Claim & the Dyslexia Victim Card 41:39 AOC's Accent Switch + Venezuela 'Below the Equator' Fact-Check 44:39 Bill Maher's CO2 vs CO Mix-Up (and the Smug Delivery) 47:34 Too Many 'Dumb' Clips: Submissions Overload & Charlie Has to Bounce 49:16 Seattle Gig-Worker Minimum Pay Law Backfires: Higher Base, Lower Tips 55:40 California Gas Prices, Bahamas Detour & Why the Jones Act Makes It Worse 01:01:52 Twitter Files Fallout: DOJ/FBI Payments to X Kept Secret in Court 01:04:39 Defending Thomas Massie: 'Voting With Democrats' and 'Team Player' Attacks 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Fellow fed haters club member, LP Alliance member, and candidate for Libertarian Party vice chair Amanda Griffiths joined Josh to discuss her recent work with the LP Alliance and her candidacy for Libertarian Party vice chair. They explored the changes the LP Alliance would like to see within the Libertarian Party, the ongoing challenges the party faces both locally and nationally, and how the Libertarian Party—and Amanda specifically as vice chair—can help overcome those challenges. They also covered several key political issues from the past two administrations and discussed how a Libertarian administration would address them.

Elizabeth Warren tried to convince everyone that letting Amazon keep more of its own money is a "tax handout", and Nate and Charlie absolutely torch the logic. They break down how "tax break = government gave you money" is a framing trick, why Warren suddenly loves billionaires when they are Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, or LeBron James, and how this whole mindset treats your income like it belongs to "the kingdom" first. Then it's a rare white pill: Trump's EPA, led by Lee Zeldin, moves to repeal the 2009 "endangerment finding" that became the legal foundation for a huge chunk of modern emissions regulation. They talk Clean Air Act language, the Massachusetts v. EPA backdrop, why people are literally suing to force regulators to regulate, and what this means for car costs, annoying start-stop tech, and energy bills. Bonus reminder: any power you give the government will be used by someone you hate. 00:00 Welcome Back 02:55 Elizabeth Warren vs. Taylor Swift: The "Amazon Tax Handout" Claim 04:33 Why a Tax Cut Isn't a Government "Gift" (and what Amazon actually did) 11:27 Bonus Depreciation & R&D Expensing: Incentivizing Investment Over Taxes 15:46 Warren's Tesla $0 Tax Post: Loss Carryforwards Explained 20:53 Main Topic: EPA's Biggest Deregulatory Move & Ending the "Endangerment Finding" 21:53 How EPA Rules Make Cars Worse (turbochargers, start/stop, and repair costs) 24:43 Modern cars: better MPG, pricier repairs (and the hidden maintenance bill) 26:45 Obama reacts to EPA rollback + the coming court fights 28:30 The $1.3T "savings" claim vs EV costs (especially insurance) 31:16 What the 2009 Endangerment Finding is—and why it matters legally 32:08 Clean Air Act language, Chevron deference, and who should decide 36:12 Charts & incentives: fuel economy trends, gas prices, and regulation credit 38:56 Cost-benefit reality check: tiny climate impact vs real economic costs 40:30 Environmental groups' lawsuits & the "apocalyptic" messaging debate 43:38 Emissions still fall + bigger looming issues (economy, Social Security) 47:05 What regular people can do: push consistent small-government principles 48:08 Dow watch & the core takeaway: power you grant will be used by opponents 51:16 Final wrap: liberty message + subscribe/share call to action 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Mississippi State music history professor Dr. Ryan Ross joins Josh to talk about his journey—from thinking he could never support Trump, to voting for him in the last election, and now back to not being able to support him anymore. They get into why they both voted for Trump in the first place, what made them feel like they had to, and the buyer's remorse that came after. They also talk about how a lot of traditional conservatives and independents feel the same way—like there's no real home left in either of the two major parties. They have both become so terrible that neither one deserves their vote or support. Ryan and Josh also discuss what it's like being a conservative professor in a very woke, liberal academic world. Ryan shares some of the struggles he's had just trying to teach music history in a straight forward historically accurate way. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/ 00:00 Welcome + Meet Prof. Ryan Ross (Never Trump → Trump → Never Trump) 03:54 Navigating Academia as a Conservative: Tolerance, Tenure & Self-Censorship 06:22 Generational Shift & Political Toxicity in the Humanities 08:38 Teaching Without Indoctrination: Leaving Politics at the Door 09:57 Why He Was Never Trump in 2016: Fitness, Merit & Populism Concerns 12:18 Distrust of Power: Primaries, Politicians, and a Rigged System 14:46 What Finally Pushed Him to Vote Trump: Border, Wokeness, and Lawfare 18:34 Josh's Breaking Point: Jan 6, COVID Lockdowns, Censorship & Russia Narrative 23:10 After the Win: Spending Cuts, Epstein Files, and Growing Regret 27:13 Tribes vs. Individualism: How Collectivism Fuels Groupthink 40:45 So Who Do You Vote For Now?

Dumb Bleep of the Week (Part 2): Epstein Files Spin, Tariff "Emergency" Tricks, SAVE Act Drama, and Surveillance Ads Nate and Chuck host Part 2 of "Dumb Bleep of the Week," reacting to several political and cultural stories. They revisit the Epstein/Massie/Pam Bondi discourse, criticizing a MAGA post claiming the "full Epstein files" were released, noting the DOJ has released 3.5 million of roughly 6 million pages and discussing controversy over unredacting names of innocent people. They mock the idea of an "Epstein list" as merely a database of any name appearing in documents and point out both Thomas Massey and online personalities like "cat turd" appear for non-incriminating reasons. They then cover House maneuvering around Trump's tariffs and the National Emergencies Act, highlighting a GOP effort to redefine "calendar days" so Congress can avoid the required 15-day vote to terminate an emergency. Next, they discuss claims that Massie voted against advancing the SAVE Act, explaining he opposed a rule package that also suspended the 24-hour notice requirement for spending bills; they note Massie later voted for the SAVE Act itself. They critique Rep. Susie Lee's video opposing the SAVE Act and discuss broader ID/citizenship and election trust arguments. Other segments include Ilhan Omar's Epstein-related jab at Trump and commentary about Somalia's laws; Los Angeles halting street repaving to avoid triggering Measure HLA's mandatory bike-lane and "road diet" requirements; California's "jock tax," including reporting that Sam Darnold could net a loss after winning a Super Bowl bonus due to duty-day taxation; a Maryland squatter story involving a $2.3 million home; and a New York clip of a speaker advocating taxing millionaires and even making it illegal for them to leave. They close with criticism of Ring's Super Bowl ad promoting AI-powered neighborhood camera searches for lost pets and mention Ring canceling its partnership with Flock Safety amid backlash. The live group's vote names Pam Bondi as the week's winner, and the hosts plug Friday's episode, subscriptions, reviews, merch, sponsors, and the Fed Haters Club. 00:00 Welcome to Good Morning Liberty + Presidents' Day banter 02:32 Epstein files 'release' claims & what's still being withheld 07:46 Unredactions, innocent names, and shifting narratives on 'transparency' 11:14 The 'Epstein list' confusion: searchable names, grifters, and gotchas 13:33 Laura Ingraham vs. Massie: blocking tariff votes by redefining 'days' 17:47 SAVE Act procedural trap: voting on a rule vs. voting on the bill 24:26 Susie Lee's SAVE Act warning + the real voter ID/citizenship debate 32:45 Why election trust matters (even for libertarians) 33:38 Next up: Ilhan Omar fires back over Epstein accusations 34:07 Somalia's "Execute Pedophiles" Claim vs. Child Marriage Reality Check 36:32 LA's Street Repaving Freeze: Measure HLA, Bike Lanes, and Legal Traps 39:44 Slurry Seal Loopholes & the 'Redefining Words' Problem in Law 43:04 California's 'Jock Tax': How a Super Bowl Bonus Turns Into a Net Loss 48:14 Squatters in a $2.3M Mansion: Bethesda Case and Property Rights Breakdown 54:03 New York's 'Make It Illegal to Leave': Taxing Millionaires and Seizing Businesses 01:01:08 Ring's 'Search Party' Super Bowl Ad: AI Surveillance for Lost Dogs (and Cops) 01:07:25 Backlash & Wrap-Up: Ring Drops Flock Safety, Poll Winner, and Final Plugs 🚨Prolon is offering listeners 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!

The DOJ "Epstein Files" release was billed as transparency, but the hearing footage tells a different story. We break down Thomas Massie's clash with AG Pam Bondi, the alleged mishandling of victim names, and the bigger question: why does government always default to redactions, deflection, and "look over here" politics? Then we zoom out to the incentive problem: when power is centralized, the rich and connected get shields you will never have. We also cover the viral moments from the hearing, including the "reclaiming my time" chaos, the blame-shifting across administrations, and the absolute hall-of-fame distraction tactic: "The Dow is over 50,000 right now." If your friends are furious about Epstein, COVID, wars, or corruption, we give you the clean libertarian through-line: reduce the power, reduce the coverups.

Congress is "useless," the bureaucracy is built to be permanent, and the executive branch can only do so much, even when everyone is yelling "America First." In this episode, we break down why Trump can't simply delete agencies with a pen, why judges keep blocking funding throttles, and why Republicans keep signing and passing monster bills anyway. Key beats: Why "unitary executive" hits a wall when Congress created and funds the agency The USAID-style bloat example: US African Development Foundation, audits, fraud, and why it still survives The shutdown nobody noticed, the bill everyone signed, and why "later" always wins Voter ID polling vs the SAVE Act reality, plus why Real ID took forever If you're tired of the rhetoric and want to talk incentives, power, and what actually changes policy, this one's for you.

Everyone wants the Epstein "files" to be the big smoking gun. But what if most of what's getting circulated is not prosecutable, not verifiable, and tailor made for political spin? In this episode, we break down what actually surfaced, why tip-line accusations and muddy internet "evidence" don't equal court-ready proof, and how the real story might be the power structure that keeps these operations possible in the first place. We also dig into the weirdest redactions, and the Elon Musk email chain that fuels speculation without proving anything.
