Episode notes

Trump says that if Republicans win the House and Senate, every adult American could get a $5,000 "dividend." There's just one tiny problem: the government doesn't have the money. Nate and Charlie break down the proposed $5,000 checks, the roughly $1.3 trillion price tag discussed on the show, the inflation problem, and the increasingly creative arguments Republicans are using to defend government redistribution.

If giving everyone $5,000 creates prosperity, why stop there? Then it's Dumb Bleep of the Week: cash for stay-at-home mothers, claims that Trump "shrunk government," socialists debating fitness and "body fascism," Robert Reich on the minimum wage and productivity, and a Tucker Carlson guest wondering why algebra puts letters in math.

The show also gets into the Lindsey Clancy hung jury and reactions surrounding the case, before Nate and Charlie pick through the week's contenders for the dumbest political take. If you enjoy libertarian politics, free-market economics, government spending debates, and making fun of terrible political arguments, follow or subscribe to Good Morning Liberty.
