Defend the Guard, Family Court, and Minnesota's Red Tape Machine w/ TJ Hawthorne || 1790

The race for Minnesota House 44B just got interesting. No Republican on the ballot, a long-time Democrat incumbent, and TJ Hawthorne running as a liberty-minded independent. TJ Hawthorne joins Good Morning Liberty to talk about his campaign, why he is running independent, and how he wants to bring Defend the Guard, family court reform, emergency power limits, and occupational licensing reform to the Minnesota Legislature. This conversation covers Minnesota politics, independent candidates, libertarian ideas, small-government policy, Defend the Guard, National Guard deployments, COVID-era overreach, red tape, food shelves, local community action, and why state programs often create the incentives they claim to fix.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! - Mamdani, Bernie, Socialists, Republicans and More || 1789

Politicians keep blaming "greed" for prices. Somehow, their solution is always more control.

They also hit Republicans suddenly warning about socialism while backing government ownership stakes, Trump blaming gas prices on oil company gouging, Ro Khanna threatening Elon Musk with investigations over USAID cuts, and the fixed pie fallacy behind the Monopoly argument against capitalism.

Ro "The Robber" Khanna vs Elon Musk on USAID Cuts & Wealth Taxes | 1787
