Mississippi State music history professor Dr. Ryan Ross joins Josh to talk about his journey—from thinking he could never support Trump, to voting for him in the last election, and now back to not being able to support him anymore. They get into why they both voted for Trump in the first place, what made them feel like they had to, and the buyer's remorse that came after. They also talk about how a lot of traditional conservatives and independents feel the same way—like there's no real home left in either of the two major parties. They have both become so terrible that neither one deserves their vote or support. Ryan and Josh also discuss what it's like being a conservative professor in a very woke, liberal academic world. Ryan shares some of the struggles he's had just trying to teach music history in a straight forward historically accurate way.

Dumb Bleep of the Week (Part 2): Epstein Files Spin, Tariff "Emergency" Tricks, SAVE Act Drama, and Surveillance Ads Nate and Chuck host Part 2 of "Dumb Bleep of the Week," reacting to several political and cultural stories. They revisit the Epstein/Massie/Pam Bondi discourse, criticizing a MAGA post claiming the "full Epstein files" were released, noting the DOJ has released 3.5 million of roughly 6 million pages and discussing controversy over unredacting names of innocent people. They mock the idea of an "Epstein list" as merely a database of any name appearing in documents and point out both Thomas Massey and online personalities like "cat turd" appear for non-incriminating reasons. They then cover House maneuvering around Trump's tariffs and the National Emergencies Act, highlighting a GOP effort to redefine "calendar days" so Congress can avoid the required 15-day vote to terminate an emergency. Next, they discuss claims that Massie voted against advancing the SAVE Act, explaining he opposed a rule package that also suspended the 24-hour notice requirement for spending bills; they note Massie later voted for the SAVE Act itself. They critique Rep. Susie Lee's video opposing the SAVE Act and discuss broader ID/citizenship and election trust arguments. Other segments include Ilhan Omar's Epstein-related jab at Trump and commentary about Somalia's laws; Los Angeles halting street repaving to avoid triggering Measure HLA's mandatory bike-lane and "road diet" requirements; California's "jock tax," including reporting that Sam Darnold could net a loss after winning a Super Bowl bonus due to duty-day taxation; a Maryland squatter story involving a $2.3 million home; and a New York clip of a speaker advocating taxing millionaires and even making it illegal for them to leave. They close with criticism of Ring's Super Bowl ad promoting AI-powered neighborhood camera searches for lost pets and mention Ring canceling its partnership with Flock Safety amid backlash. The live group's vote names Pam Bondi as the week's winner, and the hosts plug Friday's episode, subscriptions, reviews, merch, sponsors, and the Fed Haters Club. 00:00 Welcome to Good Morning Liberty + Presidents' Day banter02:32 Epstein files 'release' claims & what's still being withheld07:46 Unredactions, innocent names, and shifting narratives on 'transparency'11:14 The 'Epstein list' confusion: searchable names, grifters, and gotchas13:33 Laura Ingraham vs. Massie: blocking tariff votes by redefining 'days'17:47 SAVE Act procedural trap: voting on a rule vs. voting on the bill24:26 Susie Lee's SAVE Act warning + the real voter ID/citizenship debate32:45 Why election trust matters (even for libertarians)33:38 Next up: Ilhan Omar fires back over Epstein accusations34:07 Somalia's "Execute Pedophiles" Claim vs. Child Marriage Reality Check36:32 LA's Street Repaving Freeze: Measure HLA, Bike Lanes, and Legal Traps39:44 Slurry Seal Loopholes & the 'Redefining Words' Problem in Law43:04 California's 'Jock Tax': How a Super Bowl Bonus Turns Into a Net Loss48:14 Squatters in a $2.3M Mansion: Bethesda Case and Property Rights Breakdown54:03 New York's 'Make It Illegal to Leave': Taxing Millionaires and Seizing Businesses01:01:08 Ring's 'Search Party' Super Bowl Ad: AI Surveillance for Lost Dogs (and Cops)01:07:25 Backlash & Wrap-Up: Ring Drops Flock Safety, Poll Winner, and Final Plugs

In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt sits down with Jeremy Stalnecker, former US Marine Corps infantry officer, combat veteran, and executive director of Mighty Oaks Foundation. Jeremy shares his journey from leading Marines during the 2003 invasion of Iraq to struggling with identity loss after leaving the military, and ultimately finding purpose through faith-based veteran support work. The conversation explores how military service creates a deeply ingrained identity that can leave veterans lost when they transition to civilian life, often leading to anger, isolation, and even suicidal thoughts. Jeremy explains how Mighty Oaks Foundation addresses the root cause—identity crisis—rather than just treating symptoms, helping over 7,000 veterans, first responders, and their spouses rebuild their lives on a foundation of faith and purpose. The discussion covers leadership principles from Jeremy's book "Leadership by Design," emphasizing that true leadership is about serving others and helping them reach their potential, not about rank or authority. Jeremy advocates for a holistic approach to veteran care that combines clinical therapies with spiritual foundation, arguing that without clarity on identity and purpose, other interventions fall short. The episode concludes with information on how Mighty Oaks provides free five-day programs and ongoing aftercare to help those struggling with post-traumatic stress and transition challenges.

The DOJ "Epstein Files" release was billed as transparency, but the hearing footage tells a different story. We break down Thomas Massie's clash with AG Pam Bondi, the alleged mishandling of victim names, and the bigger question: why does government always default to redactions, deflection, and "look over here" politics? Then we zoom out to the incentive problem: when power is centralized, the rich and connected get shields you will never have. We also cover the viral moments from the hearing, including the "reclaiming my time" chaos, the blame-shifting across administrations, and the absolute hall-of-fame distraction tactic: "The Dow is over 50,000 right now." If your friends are furious about Epstein, COVID, wars, or corruption, we give you the clean libertarian through-line: reduce the power, reduce the coverups.

In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt examines the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, exploring how they work by overriding the body's natural hunger signaling through synthetic peptides inspired by Gila monster venom. While acknowledging these medications have legitimate applications for severe obesity and diabetes, John raises concerns about FDA-listed side effects including muscle loss, stomach paralysis, and thyroid tumor warnings, especially as Trump's new RX.gov platform makes these drugs more affordable and accessible. Drawing from his personal experience losing 50 pounds and maintaining the weight loss, John argues that synthetic GLP-1s don't address root metabolic dysfunction caused by poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and chronic inflammation. He advocates for natural alternatives like berberine, chromium polynicotinate, and polydextrose fiber that support the body's own GLP-1 production rather than overriding it. John emphasizes the importance of building sustainable habits through diet, exercise, and supplementation that restore metabolic function instead of creating pharmaceutical dependency. The episode concludes with a call to prioritize long-term health over quick fixes, warning that rapid weight loss without muscle maintenance could lead to premature aging and sarcopenia.

Congress is "useless," the bureaucracy is built to be permanent, and the executive branch can only do so much, even when everyone is yelling "America First." In this episode, we break down why Trump can't simply delete agencies with a pen, why judges keep blocking funding throttles, and why Republicans keep signing and passing monster bills anyway. Key beats:Why "unitary executive" hits a wall when Congress created and funds the agencyThe USAID-style bloat example: US African Development Foundation, audits, fraud, and why it still survivesThe shutdown nobody noticed, the bill everyone signed, and why "later" always winsVoter ID polling vs the SAVE Act reality, plus why Real ID took foreverIf you're tired of the rhetoric and want to talk incentives, power, and what actually changes policy, this one's for you.

Everyone wants the Epstein "files" to be the big smoking gun. But what if most of what's getting circulated is not prosecutable, not verifiable, and tailor made for political spin? In this episode, we break down what actually surfaced, why tip-line accusations and muddy internet "evidence" don't equal court-ready proof, and how the real story might be the power structure that keeps these operations possible in the first place. We also dig into the weirdest redactions, and the Elon Musk email chain that fuels speculation without proving anything.

John shares practical, actionable strategies to take control of your health, including the importance of movement, real food, supplements, and stress reduction.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Charles 'Chuck' Thompson delve into a range of topics with a libertarian perspective. The discussion kicks off with reflections on the liberty of voting as libertarians, evolving into an analysis of the benefits of voting outside of major parties. The primary focus shifts to President Trump's recent announcement on Gaza. The hosts critique Trump's proposition of U.S. troops taking over, clearing, and rebuilding Gaza, and the idea's implications on both U.S. foreign policy and the Israel-Palestine conflict. They explore whether this could be a negotiation tactic or a genuine plan, and its deviation from Trump's 'America First' policy. The episode then dissects the controversy surrounding Politico receiving substantial government funding, questioning its impact on journalistic integrity and potential election interference. They also broach a satirical yet insightful discussion on the role of Israel as a U.S. ally. The episode follows with a critical commentary from Scott Horton on Trump's Middle East policies, reflecting on their broader implications. The hosts end by inviting listener feedback on the transactional nature of U.S.-Israel relations. Tune in for a thoughtful, and sometimes humorous, libertarian view on current events.
