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.

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.

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. In this Dumb Bleep of the Week, Nate and Chuck break down Mamdani's New York rent freeze, Bernie Sanders attacking Apple over price hikes, and why "corporate greed" is a lazy substitute for understanding supply, demand, taxes, and incentives. 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.
