Iran, Gas Prices, Death Penalty, and Why Trust In Government Is (and Should Be) Dead | 1766

Episode notes

WATCH (and LIKE and COMMENT) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IFExZLzL4fs Trump's Iran war update is getting weirder by the day. Project Freedom lasted about a day and a half, gas prices are jumping, and the same government wants trust on war, death, and Medicaid.

Nate and Chuck break down Trump's Iran posts, the paused ship movement through the Strait of Hormuz, the blockade, UAE strikes, renewed airstrike talk, and why nobody should be too confident about what comes next. Then the conversation turns to the death penalty after the Texas FedEx driver case. The argument is not that the guilty never deserve death.

The argument is that the government gets things wrong, hides evidence, controls what juries see, and should not be trusted with irreversible power. Finally, the guys hit Luke Rosiak's Ohio Medicaid fraud investigation and ask the obvious question: if government cannot manage war, justice, or welfare payments, why keep handing it more power?
