  Megan Basham Says Libertarians Are Useless + Trump Lies About Prices (Again) || 1828

  Sep 28, 202647 min

  Trump says prices are going down. Your grocery receipt might have a different opinion. Meanwhile, Republicans and libertarians are discovering just how fragile their 2024 coalition may have been. Nate and Chuck break down Trump's comments on inflation, prices, the stock market, and the promises that helped bring libertarian voters into his coalition. Then they get into Megyn Basham's criticism that libertarians are "useless" coalition partners who fight for the wrong things. The bigger question is whether the Republican Party can still call itself the party of small government, free markets, constitutional limits, and opposition to endless war while expanding federal spending and government power. The guys also dig into why libertarians can be difficult political allies: they tend to care more about reducing government than protecting a party, politician, or coalition. Plus: $68 grocery runs, 18D chess, Republican socialism, taxpayer-funded political messaging, COVID-era libertarian infighting, and why telling voters what they want to hear is such an effective political strategy.

  The Dumbest Political Takes This Week! (Last-Ditch Lesbian Bar, Bill Burr, Trump, Sunny Hostin & More) || 1827

  Sep 25, 20261h 25m

  A mask-optional Saturday nearly tears apart a lesbian bar, and somehow the story ends with clown school. Charlie laughs so hard he can barely speak, but that is only one entry in this week's Dumb Bleep competition. Nate and Charlie break down Bill Burr's argument about AI replacing workers and CEOs, the claim that money is a fixed pie, and what regulation actually does to competition. They also dig into gas and diesel prices, the online conspiracy theories surrounding oil markets, and the proposed diesel export ban. Then comes Trump's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, a Converse ad accused online of resembling KKK imagery, Sunny Hostin's wild jury-duty story, Ted Cruz asking libertarians to turn out, and Benjamin Netanyahu declaring that you will not find anyone more libertarian than him. And then there is Last Ditch, where changing the mask rules produced accusations of ableism, inaccessible Instagram apologies, a three-and-a-half-hour community meeting, "white they/them tears," and one unforgettable career move.

  Republicans Blame "Big Oil" and "Price Gouging" for High Diesel Prices || 1826

  Sep 23, 202655 min

  Republicans are looking for a quick answer to soaring diesel prices, and one idea gaining support is a ban on U.S. diesel exports. Nate and Charlie break down why that seemingly simple fix could create a much bigger economic mess. They dig into diesel markets, refinery capacity, global supply, the Jones Act, price gouging claims, and the unintended consequences that can follow when politicians try to override market prices. The episode also looks back at Nixon's 1973 soybean embargo and the long-term lesson Nate argues it offers for anyone who thinks export restrictions come without consequences. Then the conversation turns to war, energy prices, Washington incentives, and why politicians so often end up proposing solutions to problems government helped create. Later, Nate and Charlie preview a ProPublica investigation involving Susan Collins, military contractors, campaign contributions, and an FBI anti-corruption investigation, while noting the allegations and denials discussed in the reporting.

  Trump Defends High Gas Prices. Jimmy Dore Defends the Wrong Fix || EP 1825

  Sep 21, 20261h 3m

  Expensive gas? Apparently your latte is the problem. Government helping the politically connected? Apparently the answer is more government. Nate and Chuck take apart the messaging around Donald Trump, rising gas prices, and the Iran war, from the "small price to pay" defense to the argument that anyone buying coffee or DoorDash should stop complaining. They challenge the choice being presented to voters and ask whatever happened to congressional debate over going to war. Then it's Jimmy Dore's viral "socialism for the rich" argument. The guys agree that corporate bailouts deserve criticism, but argue that giving Washington more control repeats the underlying mistake. Along the way, they discuss inflation, wealth creation, Medicare, health insurance denials, and claims about who pays for AI data centers. On the menu: Your coffee budget isn't a defense of foreign policy. "Two weeks from a nuke" gets a closer look. Bank bailouts are not a free-market success story. Stop arguing over how Washington spends your money long enough to ask why it took it.

  Child Safety or Censorship? A Warning From Britain w/ Samiksha Bhattacharjee || 1824

  Sep 20, 202635 min

  Could "protect the children" become the argument for making everyone identify themselves online? A libertarian in London has a warning for Americans who think it cannot happen here. Josh Martens sits down with Samiksha Bhattacharjee, a Young Voices contributor and president of the University College London Libertarian Society, to discuss UK online safety rules, digital ID, age verification, and anonymous speech. Samiksha argues that British organizations are promoting similar approaches in the United States, with consequences that could reach beyond children's accounts. The conversation follows the incentives behind online regulation: lawmakers promise safety, companies face pressure to standardize their rules, and parents risk losing authority to politicians. Josh and Samiksha also discuss her claims about lobbying and public funding, and why First Amendment protections do not end the debate over online privacy. Key beats: Could state laws reshape the internet for everyone? What disappears when online anonymity disappears? Would you trust the opposing party to make decisions for your child? They finish with a challenge for the liberty movement: reach young people through culture, explain individual freedom, and stop expecting a political superhero to fix everything.
