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

    Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (Mamdani, Olympic Joke Freakout, Newsom & More) | 1732

    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!  Just visit https://ProlonLife.com/GML   🔗[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/

    Breaking Down Trump's State of the Union: The Good, The Bad, and The Hypocrisy | EP 1731

    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.

    Only 21% Want War With Iran. So Why Are We Doing This? | 1730

    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.

    Dumb BLEEP of the Week! - Tariffs, Glyphosate Immunity, AOC, Newsom and More | 1729

    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/

    Why Amanda Griffiths Is Running for LP Vice Chair | 1728

    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.   Follow Amanda on X at: https://x.com/ajaxthegriff?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg   Check out the LPAlliance on X and on Discord at: @lp_allies https://x.com/lp_allies?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg https://discord.gg/y6HtCwrQJ7   Follow the LP Alliance's Movement journal at: The Torch: Libertarian News - Home   🔗[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/

    Warren Loves Billionaires, Just Not the Useful Ones + Trump's EPA Pulls a Massive Deregulation Move | 1727

    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/

    A Conservative's Frustrating Reality w/ Dr. Ryan Ross || 1726

    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?
