Israel "Forced Our Hand" on Iran? + The War Powers Shell Game | 1735

Rubio and Speaker Mike Johnson went on camera and accidentally told the truth about the Iran strike story: the "imminent threat" wasn't Iran hitting us first, it was Israel acting and the US expecting the blowback. The guys tear apart the "proactively defensive" framing, ask why "America First" keeps turning into Middle East escalation, and roast the new version of the old sales pitch: Iran is always just months away from "immunity" and "blackmailing America." They also dig into what the War Powers Resolution actually says, why "defensive" is doing a lot of work in these interviews, and how Congress can stop a war of choice immediately if it wants to. Plus: a contractor joke that cuts way too close to home. 00:00 Rubio and Johnson admit the "imminent threat" framing 02:00 "Israel was determined" and the War Powers loophole vibe 03:30 "Great ally" logic and troops put in harm's way 05:20 Was there time for diplomacy or was it "now or never" 07:20 Rubio: "operation needed to happen" and the "immunity" claim 09:20 Netanyahu: "immune within months" and the sales pitch 11:50 Contractor joke, Iron Dome comparison, and the gaslighting point 15:00 The real "danger" is our bases and the bait-on-a-line analogy 16:40 War Powers Resolution basics and what Congress can do now 21:30 "Waffle House" theory for why it happened right now 22:20 Mike Johnson: "not required because it's defensive" 24:30 Leaks excuse, secret briefings, and why "defensive" matters 🔗[ALL LINKS]: https://gml.bio.link [https://gml.bio.link] 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv [https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv] 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub [https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub] ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/ [https://martensminute.podbean.com/]

This is NOT America First. Impeach Trump? "I'd Support It" | 1734

Trump sold "no more endless wars" and "America First", then turned around and launched major combat operations in Iran. In this one, we break down the flip flop using Trump's own past anti-Iraq rhetoric, then compare it to the new "NeoCon Manifesto" style messaging. We dig into the propaganda lines already flooding the media ("imminent threat," "not Iraq," "we didn't start this war") and why those narratives are designed to bypass the Constitution. Then we hit the real problem: Congress. War Powers has been twisted into a permission slip for presidents to do whatever they want, while lawmakers dodge accountability because they do not want their names on the record. We close with founding-era quotes on war and why the framers tried to keep the "dog of war" on a leash.

When Funding Follows the Student to Their Preferred School, Families Win w/ Shaka Mitchell || 1733

Shaka Mitchell joins Josh to discuss school choice and the work he and his colleagues are doing at the American Federation for Children. They cover the current state of the school choice movement, the Education Freedom Tax Credit—which allows taxpayers to direct a portion of their taxes toward school choice programs—and the American Federation for Children's vision for the future of education, along with the ongoing efforts to turn that vision into reality.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (Mamdani, Olympic Joke Freakout, Newsom & More) | 1732

Friday means Dumb Bleep of the Week. We dig through Fed Haters Club submissions and let the live group vote on the most ridiculous story in politics and culture. This week: NYC rolls out "emergency snow shovelers" with passport-level paperwork, while the same crowd fights voter ID. The Senate claims it is "too busy" for the SAVE Act, but somehow finds time for a Doggy Gras parade. Gavin Newsom says he "can't read a speech" and a viral post about the crowd turns out to be straight-up misleading. An Oregon rep ties RFK Jr and whole milk to "white supremacy" because of course. Bernie Sanders argues billionaires leaving California means they want kids to die, then dodges a brutal question about why the US dominates tech innovation. And yes, we end with the Olympic hockey joke that triggered a national meltdown. 00:00 Intro 03:31 NYC Snow Shoveler Fiasco 09:36 Tax Cut Math 12:23 Save Act Filibuster Fight 17:49 Senate Doggy Gras Detour 19:51 Newsom Voter ID Excuse 21:45 Dyslexia Clip Fact Check 30:36 Milk And White Supremacy 34:00 State Of The Union Cringe 40:03 Bernie Wealth Tax Rant 43:36 California Tax Skepticism 44:56 Bernie Dodges Innovation 46:53 Profit Incentives Explained 49:54 Europe vs US Culture 55:14 Libertarian Ticket Debate 01:03:04 Trump Hockey Joke Fallout 01:19:57 Instagram Outrage Spiral 01:25:46 Voting and Wrap Up 🚨Prolon is offering listeners 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!

Breaking Down Trump's State of the Union: The Good, The Bad, and The Hypocrisy | EP 1731

Trump gave a polished, rally-style State of the Union with big emotional beats, crowd-control mastery, and a closer packed with founding-era quotes. We break down why it plays so well on TV, and why the policy claims still don't add up. We hit: * The "protect Americans, not illegal aliens" stand-up moment and the performative outrage * Housing affordability spin: "low interest rates" vs the actual price problem and supply shortage * Tariffs, the Supreme Court ruling, and the fantasy that tariffs can replace the income tax without slashing government * The new "War on Fraud," plus the red-line rhetoric on Iran and how fast it turns into a war pitch If you want the libertarian lens on incentives, power, and propaganda, you're in the right place.
