From Cuba to Freedom: Carlos Fadraga on Socialism and Liberty | 1848
Carlos Manuel Fadraga left Cuba at 16. A trip to an American Walmart helped him understand how much freedom he had been missing. Josh Martens welcomes Carlos to Good Morning Liberty for a conversation about growing up under the Castro regime, leaving through the refugee process, and building a life in America. Carlos recounts religious persecution at school, threats against his father, government food rationing, and the everyday choices that felt extraordinary after arriving in the United States. They discuss why socialism appeals to struggling young Americans, Carlos's argument for free markets and smaller government, and his work with the Dissident Project. The conversation also turns to Cuba's future: Josh raises the human cost of U.S. sanctions, while Carlos argues for maintaining pressure on the regime and explains his surprising preference for American annexation. From political conformity to the freedom to shop somewhere else, this interview explores what liberty means to someone who grew up without it, along with the difficult questions surrounding how Cuba might become free.

MAGA Meltdowns, Bad Math & Broken Promises | Dumb Bleep of the Week | 1846
Republicans lost, and the excuses are already winning. From Iran-war defenses to exit-poll confusion, this week's Dumb Bleep nominees have plenty of blame to pass around. Nate flies solo with the Fed Haters Club for a post-election edition of Dumb Bleep of the Week. He takes on Mark Levin's nuclear-warhead claims, Ben Shapiro's defense of the Iran war, and the argument that podcasters and dissenters are responsible for the GOP's losses. Nate argues that holding politicians to their promises is accountability, even when the politicians are on your side. Also on the ballot: Ro Khanna's "DEI is back" celebration, calls to nationalize SpaceX, Benny Johnson's neocon reversal, Dana Loesch's interpretation of exit polling, and Tim Burchett's price-gouging explanation for diesel costs. Then come the familiar accusations against Libertarian voters, a look at Lydia Christensen's platform, and Eric Metaxas's comparison of Trump's predicament to George Washington's. Nine nominees. One winner. Very little self-reflection.

Republicans Got What They Deserved: 2026 Midterm Fallout || 1845
Republicans promised lower costs, less government, and no new wars. So how did the coalition that put Trump back in office come apart? Nate and Charlie break down the 2026 midterm results and argue that Republicans gave their own voters plenty of reasons to walk away. From the cost of living and the Iran war to DOGE, spending, and the handling of the Epstein files, this is a libertarian look at the gap between campaign promises and governing. We review election returns and voter polling, react to Trump's response, and unpack JD Vance's explanation for the losses. Plus, Matt Walsh challenges the political cost of the war, commentators blame dissident podcasters, and Bill Mitchell discovers the upside of an election he predicted Republicans would win. The bigger question: Will Republicans learn to deliver smaller government, or just find a new way to sell bigger government?

The MAGA Report Card: Broken Promises, Real Wins, and the Midterms || 1844
Lower prices. No new wars. Trillions in spending cuts. How does the record compare with the promises? On the eve of the 2026 midterms, Nate and Charlie put Trump's second-term agenda through a libertarian promises-versus-results review. We examine household costs, the Iran war, DOGE's spending-cut ambitions, the Department of Education, and the administration's handling of the Epstein files. We revisit the campaign clips, question the explanations offered afterward, and ask how much responsibility belongs to Trump, congressional Republicans, and the institutions standing in their way. How long does "short-term pain" last before voters start demanding the promised gain? There are wins to discuss, too: Ross Ulbricht's pardon, tax-cut extensions, reduced border crossings, and the administration's moves on regulation and health policy. We also unpack the limitations behind "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime." Finally, we discuss Libertarian candidates and why state and local races deserve attention even when Washington has exhausted your patience.

Iran, Exile, and the Revolution That Betrayed a Generation w/ Yasmin Pacella || 1843
What happens when a generation demands change and ends up with less freedom? Iranian-born scholar and actor Yasmin Pacella joins Josh Martens to discuss life under Iran's Islamic regime, the personal cost of dissent, and the revolutionary promises her parents' generation came to regret. Yasmin recounts being detained by the morality police, the everyday fear of being stopped over her clothing, and the unexpected freedom of simply riding a bicycle in Italy with the wind in her hair. She explains how studying abroad became life in exile as her public work made returning home unsafe. The conversation explores her family's experience of the Iranian Revolution, how political trends draw people into movements, and why she challenges Western activists to test their ideals against lived experience. Josh and Yasmin also discuss communism, capitalism, academic conformity, and the danger of confusing opposition to an existing government with a guarantee of something better. Finally, Yasmin shares her hopes for a free Iran: political choice, economic opportunity, international relationships, and room for ordinary people to build better lives.

Dumb Bleep of the Week: White House LEGO, $5K Checks, and Libertarian Dysfunction || 1842
he White House has a LEGO music video, JD Vance has an explanation for $5,000 checks, and a democratic socialist says she's also a capitalist. Welcome to Dumb Bleep of the Week. Nate flies solo as the Fed Haters Club weighs nine nominees from across the political spectrum. First up: the White House's musical victory lap on taxes, healthcare, spending, and promises kept. Nate gives credit where he thinks it's due, then challenges the gap between the sales pitch and the record. Next come Vance's defense of tariff-funded checks, Nithya Raman's description of herself as both a capitalist and a democratic socialist, and online defenses of Mao. Nate also takes on the San Francisco Libertarian Party's posts about age-of-consent laws, raises free-speech concerns about UK respect orders, and questions an article linking higher beef prices to gymgoers and GLP-1 users. The episode closes with commentary on Obama's response to allegations involving Ilhan Omar, a debate over whether government services are really cheaper once taxpayers enter the equation, and the audience's winning nominee.

Dumbest Political Takes This Week! SpaceX Nationalization, Bernie's Climate Claims, and the Second Amendment || 1841
Calls to nationalize SpaceX, Bernie Sanders' latest tax arguments, and a Second Amendment apparently limited to muskets. It's a crowded field for Dumb BLEEP of the Week. Nate flies solo for a Monday makeup edition, starting with the Starlink controversy in Ukraine and Robert Reich's call to nationalize SpaceX. What do we actually know about the restrictions, what remains disputed, and how did a fight over satellite service become an argument for government ownership? Then it's Bernie's turn: student loans, tuition-free college, a claim about 32,000 climate-related deaths, and California's billionaire wealth-tax debate. Nate challenges how the numbers are presented and asks who ultimately pays for the proposed solutions. Also on the ballot: Abdul El-Sayed's musket argument, Jake Auchincloss' gun-parts ad, the backlash to Jeremy Todd's anti-draft remarks, Trump's celebration of oil revenues, and JD Vance's unfortunate Titanic analogy. We finish with Netanyahu's Iran rhetoric and a debate over criticism of Israel, vandalism, and accusations of antisemitism.

Tim Golding on Michigan's Midterms and the Fight Over Big Government: Rogers vs. El-Sayed || 1840
Michigan voters face a tough question: Who will actually protect their freedom? Josh Martens sits down with Tim Golding of Americans for Prosperity–Michigan to discuss the state's midterm races, the case for Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed, and why libertarians still have serious questions for Republicans. Tim explains how running a construction business and experiencing COVID shutdowns pushed him into political activism. He then lays out his objections to El-Sayed and William Lawrence, while Josh presses the Republican case on surveillance, civil liberties, and promises of smaller government. The conversation gets more pointed over the Big Beautiful Bill, federal spending, tariffs, government ownership stakes in private companies, and presidential war powers. Both criticize expanding government, but they differ over how voters should respond when the alternative also falls short. Is voting against socialism enough, or do Republicans need to earn support by delivering something better?
