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]:  https://gml.bio.link   📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub   ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

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.   Follow James on the James Dickson Podcast and on X:   https://open.spotify.com/show/73F0cyoOGLpMbqwyXO62rh?si=9fV56mGdQcObeN3y_JBY7A   https://x.com/downi75?s=21&t=S8JoQpY3m4n6bFrTo8tLrg   🔗[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/

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. If you're into libertarian analysis, small government, free markets, constitutional limits, anti-war arguments, anti-socialism takes, and media hypocrisy, this one covers a lot of ground fast.

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.

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.

Abdullah Hayek returns to give us an in-depth analysis of the Iran war.

his week's Dumb Bleep of the Week goes completely off the rails. Nate and Chuck break down Trump's wild Truth Social attack on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, the media's latest gender language freakout over "no man left behind," and the absolute chaos surrounding the Iran ceasefire narrative.

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: 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 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. They also hit the deeper point most people miss: incentives drive the whole machine, from politicians to defense contractors to media narratives. 00:00:00 Good Morning Liberty intro 00:02:00 Trump threats and the 8 PM deadline setup 00:03:30 Trump clip and immediate reaction 00:06:45 "A whole civilization will die tonight" 00:09:00 CNN clip and what Trump actually means 00:12:00 Why the bluff may not work anymore 00:18:30 Human shields around bridges and plants 00:22:15 Unauthorized war and moral disgust 00:24:00 Ben Shapiro on why regimes want nukes 00:27:15 JD Vance on "tools in the toolkit" 00:31:30 China, Russia, and wider escalation fears 00:46:15 What happens tonight?

Nate flies solo for a makeup Dumb Bleep of the Week and the lineup is loaded. He starts with the rescue operation after the downed aircraft, then gets into the bigger insanity around Iran, including Trump's "Tuesday" ultimatum, the Strait obsession, and the contradictions behind the nuclear panic. 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. Nate also hits the left's predictable "bombs vs healthcare" framing and closes on Dan Bongino getting torched for the deep-state turn. 00:00:00 Intro and solo Dumb Bleep setup 00:01:30 Rescue operation and why it matters 00:15:45 Trump's "Praise Be to Allah" Iran post 00:24:15 Fox pitch to charge Strait escort fees 00:27:00 Useful idiots and war propaganda 00:33:30 Trump, prayer politics, and biblical comparisons 00:47:00 Douglas Murray and "be grateful" 00:51:00 Mark Levin wants to arm Iranians 00:54:45 Gas prices and the nuclear contradiction 00:59:30 Rob Schneider's military draft idea 01:06:30 Democrats: bombs vs healthcare 01:21:45 Dan Bongino and the fraud fight   🔗[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/

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]:  https://gml.bio.link   📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub   ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

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.

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]:  https://gml.bio.link   📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub   ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

WATCH on Youtube: https://youtu.be/QkgblL2MTJc Trump says the U.S. is having "very strong talks" with Iran. Israel seems to be sending the opposite signal. Then the Diego Garcia missile story drops, and suddenly the same people who needed an "imminent threat" are acting like a half-confirmed report changes everything.
