Today’s episode goes full “history rhymes” as we break down President Trump signing an executive order classifying illicit fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction”—and what that kind of language really unlocks in the national security world. Then we dig into the FY2026 NDAA: a roughly $900.6B defense authorization that gives the Pentagon more than it even asked for, locks in overseas commitments, and shows (again) how Congress will “check” war powers in theory… while keeping the money machine humming in practice.

Martens Minute: Find Your Healthy Obsession, Make It Your Passion - Nate Thurston
Enjoy Nate's interview on Martens Minute! GML will return this week. Nate Thurston, co-host of the Good Morning Liberty podcast and former guitarist for the band Darling Parade, joins me to share his powerful journey through alcoholism and recovery. He opens up about his struggles with alcohol and addiction as a touring musician, and how his alcoholism spiraled out of control as his music career came to an end, nearly costing him his life. With the support of his wife, Nate confronted his addiction, quit drinking, and rebuilt his life. Now seven years sober, he enjoys a happy marriage, hosts a successful podcast, and is a respected figure in the liberty community. His advice to those struggling with addiction: You don’t have to commit to quitting forever today—that can feel overwhelming. Instead, choose each morning to stay sober for that day. Find meaning in your life, channel it into a passion, and pursue it with purpose. 00:00 Intro 03:08 The Start of Nate's Music Journey 06:26 Alcoholism and the Music Industry 12:01 Struggles with Success and Addiction 24:40 Hitting Rock Bottom 42:02 Reflecting on Past Mistakes and Luck 44:26 Finding Meaning in Everyday Work 47:28 The Turning Point: Admitting the Problem 49:13 Support Systems and Personal Responsibility 54:22 Overcoming Social Anxiety and Alcohol Triggers 01:03:26 Rebuilding Life with New Goals 01:14:06 Advice for Those Hitting Rock Bottom 🚨Prolon is offering listeners 15% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!
