Housing Prices, Illegal Immigration, and the 30% Stat Lie || 1794

The viral claim says illegal immigration caused home prices to rise 30%. The Fed paper said something different, and the difference matters. A new working paper on unauthorized immigration and housing prices is being used across social media to argue that Biden's illegal immigration surge caused a 30% rise in home prices and 20% rise in rents. But the actual claim was about 30% of home price growth in the average metro area studied, not a direct 30% increase caused by immigration. This matters because supply and demand are real. Adding millions of people to a housing market with restricted supply raises prices. But zoning laws, permitting delays, rent control, building codes, high interest rates, federal debt, and monetary policy all matter too. Austin gives a real-world example of what happens when a city makes it easier to build: rents can fall. The housing crisis is not solved by pretending immigration has no effect, and it is not solved by pretending immigration is the whole story.

JD Vance Says the GOP Is Done Pretending It Loves Markets - Dumb BLEEP of the Week! || 1793

JD Vance says the right is moving away from Milton Friedman. So why does the new Republican economics sound a lot like central planning? In this Good Morning Liberty Dumb Bleep of the Week, Nate and Chuck break down JD Vance's Hamiltonian economics, the GOP's growing comfort with government-managed markets, and why Milton Friedman's "where are the angels?" argument still matters. They also hit AOC, the Democratic Socialists of America, Elon Musk, SpaceX, Europe's AC panic, New York's 78-degree energy scolding, the KIDS Act, online age verification, Tim Burchett's federal government claim, Troy Nehls on affordability, and Trump's golden eagle meltdown.

Did SCOTUS Get Birthright Citizenship Wrong? || 1792

Trump lost at SCOTUS on birthright citizenship, and everyone immediately picked a team. But the real fight is not just immigration. It is government power, welfare, and what citizenship now means. In this Good Morning Liberty episode, Nate and Chuck break down the Supreme Court ruling on Trump's executive order, the 14th Amendment, birthright citizenship, birth tourism, illegal immigration, and the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" debate. The deeper question: why does citizenship create so much panic now? The answer is the welfare state, voting power, and a federal government that can take your money, redistribute it, regulate your life, and then make everyone fight over who gets control. Chapters: 00:00 Good Morning Liberty intro 00:45 Supreme Court ruling on Trump's birthright citizenship order 03:00 "Citizenship" and the right to have rights 04:15 Human rights versus government-granted rights 05:30 What citizenship meant in 1868 10:00 "Subject to the jurisdiction thereof" 13:30 Why the 14th Amendment was written 17:30 The real issue is the entitlement state 24:45 Clarence Thomas, domicile, and allegiance 31:45 Immigration numbers and enforcement 35:15 Smaller government is the real fix 38:15 Stop blaming immigrants for big government 44:45 Voting age, Congress, and what comes next Links: Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA] Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2] Join the Fed Haters Club @ https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub [https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub] [Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/ [https://martensminute.podbean.com/] All links @ gml.bio.link Subscribe, like, comment, share, and leave a rating or review on your podcast app.

SCOTUS Mail-In Ballot Ruling, Iran War Updates, AOC on Apple, & More || 1791

The Supreme Court just gave Republicans a loss on mail-in ballots. And the most annoying libertarian answer is: Congress may be the real problem. Nate and Chuck break down the Supreme Court's mail-in ballot ruling, why states can count ballots after Election Day if their laws allow it, and why Republicans may be mad at the outcome more than the legal reasoning. Then the guys hit the bigger theme: if you are worried about communists taking power, maybe stop cheering every time Washington gets more power. Shrink the government before your enemies inherit it. Also in this one: AOC wants to break up Apple, antitrust as a political weapon, "Apple for All," MacKenzie Scott's charity billions, Elon Musk moral math, Iran updates, Europe's heat wave, and why Americans should always check for air conditioning before booking a hotel overseas. Chapters: 00:00 Good Morning Liberty 01:00 Monday setup and weekend news 02:00 SCOTUS mail-in ballot ruling 04:30 States, Congress, and election law 05:15 The unpopular libertarian take 06:45 Voter ID and election trust 12:00 Congress could fix this 20:00 Trump, communism, and shrinking government 27:00 AOC goes after Apple 29:30 Can we antitrust the federal government? 34:30 MacKenzie Scott and charity logic 43:30 Iran, Europe heat, and air conditioning Links: Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA] Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2] Join the Fed Haters Club @ https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub [https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub] Join GML: joingml.com [Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/ [https://martensminute.podbean.com/] All links @ gml.bio.link Subscribe, like, comment, share, and leave a rating or review on your podcast app.
