Cole Thomas Allen and Another Failed Trump Assassination | 1762
The Trump attack story is scary enough. The bigger danger is what the government does with it next. Nathan and Chuck break down the attempted attack at the White House Correspondents Dinner, the Washington Hilton security angle, the suspect’s manifesto, and why political violence so often becomes fuel for more surveillance, more security theater, and more state power. This is a libertarian look at Trump, political violence, FISA, the Secret Service response, the “No Kings” irony, and why regime change logic almost always ends with the same result: the state gets stronger.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (Trump Math, Spirit Bailout, Hasan, Marx, Fed Gallrein) || 1761
Trump math, Spirit Airlines socialism, Tucker’s breakup, and Marxism all walk into Dumb Bleep of the Week. This one gets stupid fast. In this Good Morning Liberty episode, Nathan and Chuck break down the Trump RX “600%” math problem, the possible Spirit Airlines bailout or government purchase, campaign attacks on Thomas Massie, Tucker Carlson apologizing for supporting Trump, and the “mission accomplished” moment on Iran. Then the show flips left: Mark Kelly compares flu shots to smallpox, Democrats try to own the weed issue after Kamala Harris and Biden, Hasan Piker gets pulled into the billionaire debate, and the labor theory of value gets the mud pie treatment.

Did the Southern Poverty Law Center Fundraise Off Hate They Were Funding? | 1760
Nathaniel Paul and Charles Lawrence return for their first show of the week, briefly discussing Charles’ recent ER visit and recovery before diving into major news: a sweeping DOJ indictment alleging the Southern Poverty Law Center defrauded donors by secretly routing donations through fictitious entities and bank accounts to pay informants tied to extremist groups, including alleged involvement in planning and posting racist content around the 2017 Unite the Right event, with over $3 million paid to various sources. While criticizing SPLC’s influence on media and deplatforming, they caution against overstating what the 14-page indictment proves and note the government often uses similar tactics. They also cover Trump extending an “indefinite” Iran ceasefire amid escalating Strait of Hormuz seizures and uncertainty, arguing Trump wants out of a long-term conflict. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Make Politics Local Again w/ James Dickson || 1759
James Dickson from The James Dixon Podcast joins Josh to discuss his “Make Politics Local Again” movement. They explore how local politics has increasingly taken a backseat to national issues in campaigns and in the minds of most voters. Yet local issues often affect voters far more directly in their daily lives than what’s happening on the national stage. James has therefore made it his mission to “Make Politics Local Again” in his home state of Michigan. They also discuss a growing issue affecting many states at the local level: the rapid proliferation of AI data centers across the country. Josh and James examine how these data centers can impact communities, including the potential for higher utility costs, less reliable power service for customers, and abuses of eminent domain.

AOC brings in kid economics. Mamdani brings in taxpayer grocery stores. Then the episode somehow ends with Trump-as-Jesus memes and a UBI inflation rant. In this Dumb Bleep of the Week, Nate and Chuck break down socialist healthcare talking points, city-owned grocery stores, corporate tax narratives, Thomas Massie war powers, Trump meme worship, and why universal basic income would hammer prices.

The Real Tax Is What Government Spends || 1757
Tax Day is here, and Washington wants credit for “relief” that still leaves you poorer. Nate and Chuck break down why no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security is not what it sounds like. This episode covers tax day, inflation, government spending, Trump tax policy, Republican spending, and why the real tax is what the government spends. The guys dig into the fine print behind no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, plus why those savings can get wiped out by inflation, borrowing, and war. They also react to the staged DoorDash grandma White House clip, debate whether Republicans deserve to lose the midterms, and explain why mass pardons for administration officials could become a bipartisan disaster.

U.S.-Iran Negotiations End With Naval Blockade of Hormuz Strait | 1756
Trump says no deal with Iran, JD Vance says Tehran rejected U.S. terms, and now the U.S. is moving toward a blockade tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Nate breaks down what was said, what it could mean for oil markets, and why the “we’re in control now” spin does not erase the costs. In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate walks through the 21-hour Iran negotiations, Trump’s latest comments, the ceasefire timeline, and the logic behind the new blockade posture. He also explains why higher energy prices still hurt normal people even if U.S. producers benefit. Then the show pivots to the politics and optics: Trump’s attacks on Pope Leo, the AI-generated Jesus image, and how culture-war outrage can pull attention away from war, inflation, and executive power.

Ceasefire? Iran’s 10-Point Plan and America’s Potential Face-Saving Exit || 1753
Trump says there’s a ceasefire. The market likes it. The White House is calling it a win. But the details sound a lot more like a rushed exit than a clean victory. In this episode, Nate and Chuck break down the supposed Iran ceasefire, the claim that the U.S. “achieved and exceeded” its military goals, and why Iran’s own 10-point framework appears to be the basis for the deal. They also get into the bizarre Pakistan angle, the mixed messages from Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Iranian officials, and why the biggest risk is still escalation, not resolution. 00:00:00 Opening and hard stop 00:01:15 Ceasefire headlines and first reaction 00:03:15 Tennessee convention plug 00:04:15 Trump’s ceasefire post 00:07:30 Trump wants out of war 00:10:45 Hegseth and the “victory” line 00:14:00 Iran’s version of the deal 00:16:15 Pakistan “draft” post theory 00:19:45 What the 10-point plan actually says 00:27:45 Mark Levin demands more war 00:31:30 Ceasefire chaos and ongoing strikes 00:35:00 Why war creates more enemies Watch All Episodes: Watch Host Favorites: Join the Fed Haters Club @ joingml.com All links @ gml.bio.link Subscribe, like, comment, and share this with someone who still thinks this story is simple.

Trump is threatening Iran again, the deadline is looming, and nobody seems to know whether this is a bluff, a negotiating tactic, or the setup for another unauthorized war. Nate and Chuck break down the rhetoric, the media spin, and the ugly reality of what it means when civilian infrastructure, power plants, and bridges are suddenly on the menu. They get into Trump’s “a whole civilization will die tonight” post, the case for and against the so-called madman theory, why repeated hyperbole kills negotiating leverage, and how easily America sleepwalks into war.

From there, it gets even weirder. There’s the war propaganda machine, the prayer casting Trump as a biblical instrument, Douglas Murray’s latest take, Mark Levin wanting to arm Iranians like it’s Afghanistan all over again, and Rob Schneider arguing for a military draft in the name of freedom.

Trump’s Iran Speech Collapses Under Its Own Contradictions || 1749
Trump says Iran is “obliterated,” “eviscerated,” and no longer a real threat. So why is the administration still warning about uranium, missiles, the Strait of Hormuz, and another two to three weeks of escalation? In this episode, Nate and Chuck break down the contradictions inside Trump’s latest speech on Iran and ask the obvious question nobody seems willing to answer: if Iran’s nuclear program is buried, watched, and supposedly unusable, then what exactly was the emergency? They also dig into the gap between “military objectives” and any actual endgame, the old neocon fantasy that bombing creates peace, and why “no new wars” keeps turning into the same failed foreign policy with a new sales pitch. 00:00:00 Intro and the Fed Haters Club cold open 00:01:45 YouTube growth, click-through rates, and “we need more fights” 00:03:15 Trump’s speech recap and the media reaction 00:04:00 The real pretext: Iran, nukes, and the sales pitch for war 00:06:45 If the sites are under surveillance, why was this urgent? 00:11:15 “Keep the conflict in perspective” and the speech contradictions 00:15:45 Military objectives vs the actual mission 00:18:45 Bombing targets is not the same as achieving peace 00:22:15 What happened to “no new wars”? 00:26:00 Strait of Hormuz, oil leverage, and why the story still doesn’t add up 00:32:00 Trump’s stock market spin and the Dow argument 00:36:15 Lindsey Graham’s version of “winning” 00:41:00 Final takeaway: most Americans do not want this war 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

War Propaganda, Ground Troops, "Don't Say War", & Massie Money Bomb || 1748
Thomas Massie’s money bomb is taking off, and for Nate, that race matters more than most presidential drama. Why? Because if constitutional conservatives and liberty-minded reps can be crushed for refusing to rubber stamp spending, war, and party-line garbage, that sends a brutal message to anyone thinking about standing on principle. Then the conversation turns hard toward Iran. Nate and Chuck break down the messaging shift from “no war” to “military operation,” the open talk about dodging congressional approval, the media war hype, and the very real fear that “no ground troops” could turn into the exact opposite. They also hit the hypocrisy around “No Kings” protests, why the propaganda language feels so familiar, and how quickly the legal and moral lines get blurred when power wants what it wants. It’s blunt, skeptical, and very GML. Follow and subscribe wherever you listen.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (10 Boats, Nuke-Vests, America First) || 1747
On this Friday episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate and Charles run “Dumb Bleep of the Week,” reacting to what they see as shifting, unreliable claims around the Iran conflict—especially Trump’s moving strike timelines, talk of “great negotiations,” and the story of Iran gifting “eight boats” (then “ten boats”) of oil, which they note Bloomberg tanker data didn’t substantiate. They question reports that Iran struck Diego Garcia based only on unnamed officials and criticize what they call war propaganda from figures like Alan Dershowitz, Rubio, JD Vance (including a “nuclear suicide vest” scenario), Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and Lindsey Graham’s talk of taking an island and invoking Iwo Jima. The audience votes Trump’s admission about avoiding the word “war” because it would require approval as the week’s dumbest moment, and the hosts plug their “Fed Haters Club” membership. 00:00 Show Intro Banter 01:38 Dumb Week Setup 02:58 Trump Iran Boats 10:13 Timeline Extensions 12:14 Off Ramp Debate 14:22 Diego Garcia Truther 19:56 Propaganda Hitler Claims 23:17 Rubio DVance Nukes 30:13 Ground Troops Talk 31:50 Ben Shapiro Tease 32:01 Shapiro Sells the War 33:59 Oil Strait Justification 35:44 Lindsey Graham Iwo Jima Talk 39:30 Trump Avoids Saying War 44:48 Israel Hypocrisy Debate 47:05 America First Award Satire 49:40 Mask Discourse Returns 52:11 Wealth Tax and Corporate Rates 58:31 Voting Results and Wrap Up 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (Mark Levin, Joy Reid, Newsom, Tulsi & More) | 1745
In this one, the guys tear through the week’s most ridiculous reactions to the Iran war, including Trump’s bizarre Pearl Harbor joke, Mark Levin’s meltdown, and the growing effort to shame anyone asking basic questions like: what’s the objective, who authorized this, and why now? They also detour into some top-tier Democrat nonsense, from Joy Reid comparing women’s lives in America and Iran, to Jamie Raskin calling Thomas Paine an “undocumented immigrant,” to Kathy Hochul suddenly noticing that rich taxpayers can leave high-tax states. 00:00 Friday Show Kickoff 00:51 Dumb Bleep Rules 01:36 Pearl Harbor Quip 05:00 Mark Levin Meltdown 12:30 MAGA Means Trump 16:30 Joy Reid Comparison 18:38 Founders Undocumented Claim 20:08 California Wildlife Bridge 24:24 Hochul Needs Millionaires 27:16 Wisconsin Dems Gaffe 28:52 Glenn Beck Hypocrisy 31:32 Who Pushed The War 34:33 Glenn Beck Takeaway 35:12 Joe Kent Leak Claims 38:08 Shapiro vs Kent Letter 42:32 Graham Spins Imminence 44:07 Manipulating Trump Angle 47:09 War Powers Congress 48:52 1979 Hostage Context 52:31 Tulsi Imminent Threat 58:50 Hegseth War Story 01:02:39 Rosy War Promises 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Joe Kent Quits, Tulsi Ducks, and the SAVE Act Distraction | EP 1744
Joe Kent resigns, Trump gives a bizarre answer, Tulsi Gabbard tries to thread the needle, and the SAVE Act gets sold like it will magically fix a broken government. Nate and Charlie break down the incentives, the spin, and the contradictions behind the latest Iran messaging and the political theater that follows. They hit Trump’s reaction to Kent stepping down, the instant rush to label criticism of Israel as antisemitism, Tulsi’s dodge on “imminent threat,” Rand Paul unloading on Markwayne Mullin, and why the SAVE Act looks a lot more like campaign ammo than real reform. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Netanyahu’s AI “Proof of Life” and the Right’s Civil War | 1743
Is Benjamin Netanyahu posting AI proof-of-life videos, or is the internet losing its mind? We break down the weird ring glitch, the finger debate, and why even the “normal” explanations still do not add up. Then we get into Tucker Carlson’s claim that the government may be looking at him through the lens of FARA, what that would actually mean politically, and why this story is already being weaponized whether charges happen or not. Finally, we dig into the growing split on the right. The real frustration is not just bad policy. It is broken promises, midterm fearmongering, and a political incentive structure that rewards being slightly better than Democrats instead of actually cutting government. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

You Are The Power w/ Ryan Ralston || 1742
Ryan Ralston from You Are The Power joins Josh once again to discuss some of their current cases. They spotlight two Florida child protection cases—the Patterson family and the Buchanan family—and explain how these cases are helping to drive new legislation in Florida to better protect families from similar situations in the future. They also cover the OneLove case in Longview, Texas, where a local charity supporting the homeless has faced targeting by government officials. Finally, they highlight the rising wave of eminent domain cases across the country. These include government efforts to seize properties for highway construction in Indiana, a family farm in New Jersey, and land targeted for new data centers nationwide. Eminent domain abuses are significantly increasing, and You Are The Power is assisting families in the fight for their property.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! (Lindsey Graham, CNN, Socialists and More) | 1741
Charlie and Nate break down CNN’s bizarre framing of the New York bombing story, the media scramble around Zohran Mamdani, the pile-on against Brandon Herrera, Laura Loomer blaming Tucker Carlson for a synagogue attack, Ben Shapiro’s war-selling theatrics, and Lindsey Graham sounding like he’s personally redrawing the Middle East. They also hit the “short-term pain for long-term gain” talking point avalanche, the absurd Virginia gun comments about silencers and “telescopes,” the Department of War’s insane end-of-budget spending spree, and a quick economics lesson after people freak out over Dunkin’ Donuts throwing away leftovers. If you like blunt takes on media narratives, war propaganda, government waste, and elite hypocrisy, this one’s for you. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Anti-Massie Rally Backfires as Gallrein Embarrasses Himself & Massie's Odds Skyrocket || 1740
Trump rolled into Kentucky to torch Thomas Massie, and the whole thing turned into a loyalty test, a smear campaign, and a pretty brutal self-own. Nate and Charlie break down the anti-Massie rally, the claims Trump made from the stage, and why the case against Massie looks a lot more like punishment for independence than a real argument. They get into the omnibus bill nonsense, the fake choice between good policy and garbage spending, why Massie’s constitutional consistency makes him such a threat to party machines, and how Ed Gallrein came off as a made-for-TV yes-man instead of a serious challenger. They also dig into betting market reactions, primary dynamics, and why this whole stunt may have actually helped Massie.

U.S. Likely Tomahawked Iranian School, Pentagon Dropped $93B Last September and More || 1739
The Pentagon didn’t just waste money on lobster and fruit baskets. It burned through $93 billion in one month because government incentives reward waste. In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, we break down the preliminary findings around the strike on a school in Iran, what “boots on the ground” would actually mean, and why skepticism of military intervention is still the only sane position. We also get into the Department of Defense September spending spike, luxury purchases, furniture, instruments, and the “use it or lose it” budget scam. We also cover the Jones Act, oil shipments, Puerto Rico, and how protectionist laws make energy and shipping more expensive while pretending to be pro-America. If you care about government waste, war accountability, military spending, energy prices, and libertarian analysis, this episode is for you. 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

“Mission Accomplished” - Don't LIE About the War! || 1738
Nate and Chuck discuss ongoing U.S.-Israel actions in the Iran war and argue that Fox News commentary is framing the conflict as already won, including talk of quickly declaring “mission accomplished.” Nate questions how strikes reportedly killed multiple Iranian leadership successors while a publicized meeting to select a new Ayatollah proceeded, and they review media clips featuring pro-war rhetoric and claims of an imminent Iranian threat. They focus on reports that an Iranian girls’ school was hit, citing outlets saying U.S. airstrikes were responsible, debating missile footage that resembles a Tomahawk, and noting officials’ “still investigating” responses while Trump claims Iran did it. They also cover oil depot strikes and “oil rain” in Tehran, warn of rally-around-the-flag effects, unclear objectives, possible escalation with Russia/China involvement, and express anti-war concerns as U.S. service members die. 00:00 Show Kickoff Banter 01:01 Iran War On The Agenda 01:53 Mission Accomplished Media Spin 02:34 Succession Strike Mystery 04:48 Fox News Clash Clip 09:00 War To End Wars Talk 10:17 Declare Victory Debate 13:45 What Winning Even Means 20:05 Lindsey Graham Goes Wild 21:37 Endless War Spiral Fears 22:03 Next Targets After Iran 23:42 Imminent Threat Narrative 24:25 Trump Missile Boast Clip 25:09 School Strike Evidence 27:24 Missile ID and Timeline 30:33 Officials Dodge Accountability 32:40 Propaganda Logic Breaks 36:31 Oil Depots and Public Backlash 42:57 Can This War Succeed 44:58 Closing Anti War Message 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

Is Taxation a Necessary Evil? w/ Dr. James Harrigan
As libertarians, we all agree: taxation is theft. But in this episode, Dr. James Harrigan joins Josh to wrestle with a question that hits close to home for many of us—what if some level of taxation is the “necessary evil” that prevents worse evils in society? They dive into what, if anything, is the legitimate role of government in a free society: What services, if any, do free people truly need from the state to protect private property, individual liberty, and the equal human value of every citizen? And what moral dilemmas arise when there’s no government “stop-gap” at all. Does pure voluntarism leave the vulnerable exposed? What uncomfortable realities would we face in a purely voluntary system, and would we be okay with those realities? Obviously, this isn’t about defending the state—it’s an honest, sometimes uncomfortable look at the internal conflicts we libertarians face when principle meets real-world messiness.

Dumb BLEEP of the Week! - Iran War ("Not a War," Glenn Beck, Imminent Threat and More) | EP 1736
On a “Dumb Bleep of the Week” episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate (without co-host Charlie, who is sick) reviews major political/media moments tied to the escalating conflict with Iran. He criticizes officials’ semantic claims that it’s “not a war,” especially Mike Johnson’s “limited operation” framing, and highlights widespread war propaganda such as “two weeks from a nuke” and Iran being an “imminent threat for 47 years.” Nate also covers War Powers disputes, partisan hypocrisy and “Obama did it” defenses, Lindsey Graham speaking for fallen troops, and reports of seeking cheaper Ukrainian-made interceptor drones amid expensive U.S. interceptor shortages. Other nominees include Ben Shapiro attacking Dave Smith’s critique of U.S. foreign policy. The episode’s voted winner is Glenn Beck posting a George Washington AI clip framed as support for Trump’s Iran war. 00:00 War With Iran Tease 00:15 Show Intro Banter 01:20 Dumb Week Setup 02:45 Not A War Claim 06:59 Semantics Montage 09:16 War Propaganda Reel 11:43 Newsmax War Hype 19:27 Imminent Threat Spin 23:19 Regime Change Pitch 29:40 Lindsey Graham Troops 32:04 Interceptor Shortage 39:52 War Powers Mockery 41:13 Washington Quote Thread 43:29 Stephen A War Powers 45:11 Obama Did It Defense 49:14 Pelosi Libya Clip 51:33 Why Now Iran Strikes 55:50 Trump Denies Pressure 58:37 Shapiro vs Dave Smith 01:06:32 Glenn Beck George AI 01:14:51 Voting and Wrap Up 🔗[ALL LINKS]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

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]: 📼 [YouTube] : 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: ⏳[Martens Minute]:

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.
