Editor's note: This episode contains some explicit language. Listener discretion is advised. A town with no mayor, no trustees, no clerk, and no publicly funded water system.In our seventh episode this season, we travel four hours east of Denver to Hartman, Colorado, where a modern-day "Hatfields and McCoys" feud drove the entire town board to quit.After years of bitter infighting, contested elections, financial disputes, and a physical altercation at a town meeting, the tiny plains community's government effectively collapsed. Hartman has become an unlikely case study in how a century-old abandonment law leaves residents to confront what happens when a town can no longer govern itself.Can Hartman be saved, or has it already become a ghost town in waiting?This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

See the USA in your... Toyota? That's what US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and his family have done with their reality-style online series, The Great American Road Trip. The way Secretary Duffy explains it, the show is a celebration of the country's 250th birthday. Duffy has told interviewers that "To love America is to see America," so he's packed up the family SUV and hit the road. This being the Trump administration, the trip isn't just an exercise in patriotism but a giant conflict of interest packaged as a reality TV show. That's hardly surprising given Duffy's history with reality TV—Sean Duffy met his wife Rachel Campos-Duffy while shooting MTV's Road Rules in the late 1990s—but it is concerning given that the series is sponsored by nearly a dozen companies that have business before USDOT. Reporter Henry Burke—a senior researcher at the Revolving Door Project—breaks down the many questionable and outright shady details behind Sean Duffy's trip across the country, from the opaque non-profit organizing it to the many transportation-related companies footing the bill. Our bestselling new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, published by Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House, is available wherever books are sold. www.thewaroncars.org

From dinner at the White House for owners of his meme coin to a $400 million jet gifted by a petromonarchy that will be donated to his presidential library after he leaves office, Donald Trump has led the charge on extracting private gains from public office. His Cabinet appears to have absorbed the lesson. Take Sean Duffy, the former Fox host-turned-Secretary of Transportation. On Friday, his department dropped a trailer on YouTube unveiling the Great American Road Trip, an initiative purportedly designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country's story.” But what the trailer showed was a reality show in which Duffy, his still-a-Fox-host wife Rachel Campos-Duffy and their nine children gallivant around America. They meet a Ben Franklin impersonator in Philadelphia, ride snowmobiles in Montana and hang out with Kid Rock along the way. All in good fun. “We live in a PornHub world, and this is really good, wholesome family stuff,” Campos-Duffy said in an interview on—where else?—Fox.

In this episode, Alex breaks down Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's bizarre sponsored road trip series and why critics are calling it one of the most tone-deaf stories of Trump 2.0. From nonprofit funding tied to major transportation corporations to the glaring irony of celebrating America's national parks while protections and funding for public lands are being cut, the episode explores how governing increasingly feels like influencer content. Alex unpacks the ethics concerns, political hypocrisy, and growing disconnect between Washington spectacle and everyday Americans struggling with rising costs.

David Waldman returns to KITM World Headquarters from his Great American Road Trip, sponsored by Boeing, Toyota, Shell, Royal Caribbean, United Airlines, Google, and Enterprise… No, wait, that was Sean Duffy, who took 7 months paid time off from Porn Hub to make the kind of TV show that only Kristi Noem and Kash Patel could have come up with. The national debt is outgrowing the G.D.P. Putting a lien on Donald K. Trump's ballroom and arch won't be enough to address his spendthrift ways, and the usual cost prevention method of killing the poor and weak is never as effective as expected. People are sick of all of the defeating we're doing in Iran; we might not be able to stand much more. Orange is the new MAGA, as a presidential pardon won't keep Michele Fiore out of prison or help Tina Peters escape hers. Ghislaine Maxwell is a different story. In fact, fellow inmates can stay in prison longer by just talking about her.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just went off on the Biden administration and Pete Buttigieg for the shocking collapse of Spirit Airlines. Spirit Airlines officially shut down operations after 34 years, leaving passengers stranded and 17,000 workers without jobs. Duffy made it crystal clear on national TV: “Spirit tried to merge with JetBlue. The Joe Biden-Pete Buttigieg administration and DOJ tanked that deal. Immediately after that, they filed for bankruptcy.” This wasn't just bad luck — it was the predictable result of Biden-era policies that prioritized ideology over American jobs and affordable travel. While the Trump administration tried to step in with support, the damage from the previous four years was already done. We also cover: Senator John Fetterman's approval rating is NOT good. Why are conservatives attacking the LDS Church? NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on moon base. When will the SAVE America Act be passed? Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News. Republicans and conservatives have been warning about this for years — big government interference always hurts working Americans the most. Drop a
Spirit Airlines is gone. And Washington is already trying to blame everyone else. In this Good Morning Liberty breakdown, Nate and Chuck look at the collapse of Spirit Airlines, the blocked JetBlue merger, Elizabeth Warren's "Biden win for flyers," Robert Reich's airline consolidation argument, and the government's very normal habit of breaking things in the name of helping consumers. Was it fuel prices? Was it the Biden DOJ blocking the JetBlue Spirit merger? Was it bad business? The answer from GML: there is blame to go around, but the deeper problem is politicians and regulators having the power to jack with markets in the first place. Spirit Airlines, JetBlue, airline antitrust, Elizabeth Warren, Robert Reich, airline consolidation, consumer prices, and the myth of government-managed competition all collide in this one.

Grab your passport, doughty listener. We're headed across the Atlantic to see how justice works in England and France, and why it looks so different from the U.S.While a judge in France takes an active role seeking the absolute truth, the U.S. system functions more like a high-stakes sporting event, where the judge serves as a referee between two competing sides.In our fifth episode this season, we trace the evolution of trials from the Middle Ages, when "trials of ordeal" involved boiling water and "cursed morsels," to the Salem witch trials and how lawyers came to dominate U.S. courts.Which system comes out on top? The answer may depend on what you think justice is supposed to do.Special guests:Benjamin Legendre, journalist for Agence-France-PresseWalter Olson, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and founder of OverlawyeredCarlton Larson, professor of constitutional law at UC DavisLissa Griffin, professor of comparative law at Pace UniversityThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Brandon Gill joins and doesn't hold back — exposing why Republicans caved on the TPS vote, laying out the real numbers on illegal immigrants affected, and calling out the system that keeps extending programs that were never meant to be permanent.

What began as a brazen early morning shooting outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel quickly escalated into a nationwide manhunt and a complex legal and cultural phenomenon.In our fourth episode this season, Josh Russell sits down with his New York courts colleague Erik Uebelacker to unpack the high-profile killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the looming dual trials for suspect Luigi Mangione.Spanning state and federal courts, Mangione's prosecution raises questions for some about double jeopardy and due process. Beyond the courtroom, the case has taken on a life of its own, with Mangione emerging as both a polarizing figure and "progressive icon" as he galvanizes critics of the U.S. health care system and fuels debates over jury nullification and the influence of public opinion.This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

The Sec of the Department of Transportation should be impeached and resign, after yet another fatal air disaster rocking the US air travel system rocks the Trump Administration. Michael Popok, who represents the family of victim of an earlier air crash on Trump's watch, dissects the performance of Sean Duffy, who following in his “Kristie Noem” moment, is more concerned with getting people to stop wearing comfortable clothes and to “dress up” for air travel, than getting proper funding to overhaul the FAA and the Air Traffic Control systems and technology that would cost 1/10 of what Trump is spending in Iran to bomb his way to popularity.

How many times have you pulled up to a location, seen fire blowing out of the second-story windows, and thought, "There is no way anyone is alive in there?" Today's guest argues that firefighters have been making that call far too early. And it's often based on outdated campaigns and fear rather than real-world data.You took an oath to protect life. It is the driving force behind every decision you make when you pull up to a working fire. But that drive has to be balanced with reality.The question isn't just "is the building searchable?" The harder question is: "Is it survivable?"Joining me is Sean Duffy, a firefighter on a mission to redefine the boundary between searchable space and survivable space. Sean is a vocal advocate for the Firefighter Rescue Survey, using hard data to prove that victims can—and do—survive in structures with over 75% fire involvement.Sean is a highly respected instructor and the voice behind the presentation "Searchable vs. Survivable: Educated Decision Making." He's here to discuss how to move beyond guessing and start using data, fire behavior, and building construction to make the toughest call on the fireground.He's a firefighter for the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he's been for almost 20 years.I last had him on the show talking about the reasons why 2-in/2-out is a concept whose time has passed.

As immigration enforcement intensifies, so do questions about the limits of federal power. In our third episode this season, we unpack the legal maze surrounding federal law enforcement and the steep uphill battle for victims who want to hold agents accountable for constitutional violations.We trace the roots of the civil rights law Section 1983 and Bivens, which once gave citizens a path to sue federal officers. But decades of court decisions have narrowed those paths dramatically. When national security and policy discretion enter the picture, do they become shields for misconduct?Today, many victims are trapped in a legal black hole, where federal agents are often harder to sue than local counterparts.Special guests:Mike Fox, legal fellow at the Cato Institute's Project on Criminal JusticeMarie Miller, attorney with the Institute for JusticeAnya Bidwell, attorney with the Institute for JusticeThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel. Intro music by The Dead Pens. Editorial staff is Ryan Abbott, Sean Duffy and Jamie Ross.
How DID democrats not stand for all the remarkable guests Trump introduced at the State of the Union? Transportation secretary Sean Duffy strikes a nerve when he asks why democrats didn't applaud the little girl left brain damaged by an illegal alien who got a commercial driver's license in California and plowed into her family's stopped car in a tractor trailer. Chris Wray's FBI spied on private citizens Kash Patel and Susie Wiles. WHY? Fani Willis got paid - by the Biden administration - to go after Trump.

In our second episode this season, we dive into the high-stakes world of online wagering. We trace the path of online sports betting from offshore sites like the World Sports Exchange to the landmark 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Murphy v. NCAA, which dismantled the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act ban on sports gambling and launched a billion-dollar industry.What was once a legal grey area has moved into the mainstream, as betting doesn't stop with sports and has led to the rise of digital prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, where stats nerds and political junkies trade futures contracts on real-world outcomes on everything from Billboard charts to the next occupant of the Oval Office. Are these digital markets the new YouGov poll, or just a gamified version of the public square?These markets often beat traditional polling by aggregating real-time data and financial incentives, but are they free from their users' biases?Special guests: Seth Shankle, avid sports betterKoleman Strumpf, professor of economics at Wake Forest UniversityTom Miller, faculty director of the data science program at Northwestern University and operator of The Virtual ToutThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.
