Josh 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. He breaks down the positions and goals of the three major players, the Lebanon side of the conflict, how the

conflict is affecting neighboring Arab states and the rest of the world, and how this conflict is likely to affect and change the Middle East in the months and years to come.

Side note: This episode was recorded on Monday, April 6th, before the ceasefire began.

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. They also dig into Lindsey Graham suddenly caring about constitutional process, Glenn Beck blaming Americans for potentially "losing" a war, and one of the dumbest arson confessions you'll ever hear.

Trump just torched Tucker, Megyn, Candace, and Alex Jones. And the ceasefire story somehow got even less believable.

Nate and Chuck break down the Trump post, the war spin, MAGA infighting, Glenn Beck's latest nonsense, and one all-time idiotic arson story.
