Another Antitrust FAIL: Government "Protected" Airline Competition by Killing an Airline (Maybe Two) | 1765
May 400:46:10Tap to summarizeWATCH (and LIKE and COMMENT) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ynsfcO5w0sM Spirit Airlines is gone. And Washington is already trying to blame everyone else. In this Good Morning Liberty breakdown, Nate and Chuck look at the collapse of Spirit Airlines, the blocked JetBlue merger, Elizabeth Warren's "Biden win for flyers," Robert Reich's airline consolidation argument, and the government's very normal habit of breaking things in the name of helping consumers. Was it fuel prices? Was it the Biden DOJ blocking the JetBlue Spirit merger? Was it bad business? The answer from GML: there is blame to go around, but the deeper problem is politicians and regulators having the power to jack with markets in the first place. Spirit Airlines, JetBlue, airline antitrust, Elizabeth Warren, Robert Reich, airline consolidation, consumer prices, and the myth of government-managed competition all collide in this one. Chapters: 00:00 Good Morning Liberty intro 00:01 Spirit Airlines is done 00:03 The left and right fight over blame 00:06 Both sides are a little bit right 00:07 The DOJ blocking the merger 00:09 Spirit CEO on the JetBlue offer 00:11 Was the merger actually "illegal"? 00:14 Sean Duffy, Biden DOJ, and competition 00:16 Government got involved, travelers lost 00:20 Robert Reich's airline argument 00:27 Airline deregulation and cheaper airfare 00:40 Elizabeth Warren's "win for flyers" ages badly Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 Join the Fed Haters Club @ joingml.com All links @ gml.bio.link Subscribe, like, comment, and share.

May 101:15:00Tap to summarizeTrump IRA, Iran war costs, Comey's 86-47 indictment, Mark Levin on de-platforming, and socialist economics all collide in one Dumb Bleep of the Week. Nate and Chuck break down why MAGA is defending a retirement savings program tied to Biden-era law, why "bombing Iran's ambition" is not a serious foreign policy, and why free speech standards suddenly get slippery when the target changes. This Good Morning Liberty episode covers Trump IRA, Pete Hegseth's Iran hearing, War Powers Act questions, James Comey and 86-47, Mark Levin's de-platforming comments, Ro Khanna's $25 minimum wage argument, California's wealth tax debate, socialist mayors, and the week's worst economic takes.

Apr 3001:15:47Tap to summarizeJosh is joined by Shannon Bray, a Libertarian candidate for Senate in North Carolina and author of Liberty Unleashed, for a wide-ranging conversation about taxes, Social Security, education, war, and why so many voters feel politically homeless. Shannon explains how he went from government work and frustration with both major parties to running for office as a Libertarian. The conversation digs into: Why a consumption tax gives people more control than hidden taxes Why Social Security feels like a broken contract How schools fail to teach basic financial literacy Why Shannon's military background changed the way he thinks about war They also talk about the two-party illusion, independents walking away from Republicans and Democrats, and how libertarians can start conversations without watering down the message.

Cole Thomas Allen and Another Failed Trump Assassination | 1762
Apr 2801:02:29Tap to summarizeThe 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.

Transcribe →Did the Southern Poverty Law Center Fundraise Off Hate They Were Funding? | 1760
Apr 2200:51:13Tap to summarizeNathaniel 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]: https://gml.bio.link 📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv 🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/
Transcribe →Make Politics Local Again w/ James Dickson || 1759
Apr 1900:47:46Tap to summarizeJames 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.

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.

Transcribe →The Real Tax Is What Government Spends || 1757
Apr 1500:45:16Tap to summarizeTax 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.

Transcribe →U.S.-Iran Negotiations End With Naval Blockade of Hormuz Strait | 1756
Apr 1300:45:17Tap to summarizeTrump 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.
