Make Politics Local Again w/ James Dickson || 1759

James Dickson from The James Dixon Podcast joins Josh to discuss his "Make Politics Local Again" movement. They explore how local politics has increasingly taken a backseat to national issues in campaigns and in the minds of most voters. Yet local issues often affect voters far more directly in their daily lives than what's happening on the national stage. James has therefore made it his mission to "Make Politics Local Again" in his home state of Michigan. They also discuss a growing issue affecting many states at the local level: the rapid proliferation of AI data centers across the country. Josh and James examine how these data centers can impact communities, including the potential for higher utility costs, less reliable power service for customers, and abuses of eminent domain.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (Mamdani, AOC, Jesus Trump & More) || 1758

AOC brings in kid economics. Mamdani brings in taxpayer grocery stores. Then the episode somehow ends with Trump-as-Jesus memes and a UBI inflation rant. In this Dumb Bleep of the Week, Nate and Chuck break down socialist healthcare talking points, city-owned grocery stores, corporate tax narratives, Thomas Massie war powers, Trump meme worship, and why universal basic income would hammer prices. If you're into libertarian analysis, small government, free markets, constitutional limits, anti-war arguments, anti-socialism takes, and media hypocrisy, this one covers a lot of ground fast.

The Real Tax Is What Government Spends || 1757

Tax Day is here, and Washington wants credit for "relief" that still leaves you poorer. Nate and Chuck break down why no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security is not what it sounds like. This episode covers tax day, inflation, government spending, Trump tax policy, Republican spending, and why the real tax is what the government spends. The guys dig into the fine print behind no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, plus why those savings can get wiped out by inflation, borrowing, and war. They also react to the staged DoorDash grandma White House clip, debate whether Republicans deserve to lose the midterms, and explain why mass pardons for administration officials could become a bipartisan disaster.

U.S.-Iran Negotiations End With Naval Blockade of Hormuz Strait | 1756

Trump says no deal with Iran, JD Vance says Tehran rejected U.S. terms, and now the U.S. is moving toward a blockade tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Nate breaks down what was said, what it could mean for oil markets, and why the "we're in control now" spin does not erase the costs. In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate walks through the 21-hour Iran negotiations, Trump's latest comments, the ceasefire timeline, and the logic behind the new blockade posture. He also explains why higher energy prices still hurt normal people even if U.S. producers benefit. Then the show pivots to the politics and optics: Trump's attacks on Pope Leo, the AI-generated Jesus image, and how culture-war outrage can pull attention away from war, inflation, and executive power.
