## Resource

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. Follow or subscribe to Good Morning Liberty, like and comment where available, and share this with someone defending their team's spending.
