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.

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. 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.

The Housing "Fix" That Lets Government Do More Government || 1788

Congress just passed a massive bipartisan housing bill. That should make your wallet nervous. Nate and Chuck break down the Road to Housing Act, why Elizabeth Warren loves it, why most Republicans still voted for it, and why government "solutions" usually miss the incentives creating the problem in the first place.

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

Ro Khanna says tax Elon Musk and the billionaires. But what happens when the "wealth tax" becomes government ownership? In this Good Morning Liberty episode, Nate and Chuck break down socialism's rise inside Democratic politics, the "fair share" tax argument, Ro Khanna's fight with Elon Musk, USAID cuts, DOGE, student loan debt, and why wealth taxes sound simple until you look at how assets actually work. They also explain the difference between free market capitalism and the crony capitalism Americans are angry about, why politicians never use new taxes to lower the deficit, and how "just pay with shares" turns into the government owning pieces of private companies.
