Warren Loves Billionaires, Just Not the Useful Ones + Trump's EPA Pulls a Massive Deregulation Move | 1727

from Good Morning Liberty

Elizabeth Warren tried to convince everyone that letting Amazon keep more of its own money is a "tax handout", and Nate and Charlie absolutely torch the logic. They break down how "tax break = government gave you money" is a framing trick, why Warren suddenly loves billionaires when they are Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, or LeBron James, and how this whole mindset treats your income like it belongs to "the kingdom" first. Then it's a rare white pill: Trump's EPA, led by Lee Zeldin, moves to repeal the 2009 "endangerment finding" that became the legal foundation for a huge chunk of modern emissions regulation. They talk Clean Air Act language, the Massachusetts v. EPA backdrop, why people are literally suing to force regulators to regulate, and what this means for car costs, annoying start-stop tech, and energy bills. Bonus reminder: any power you give the government will be used by someone you hate. 00:00 Welcome Back   02:55 Elizabeth Warren vs. Taylor Swift: The "Amazon Tax Handout" Claim   04:33 Why a Tax Cut Isn't a Government "Gift" (and what Amazon actually did)   11:27 Bonus Depreciation & R&D Expensing: Incentivizing Investment Over Taxes   15:46 Warren's Tesla $0 Tax Post: Loss Carryforwards Explained   20:53 Main Topic: EPA's Biggest Deregulatory Move & Ending the "Endangerment Finding"   21:53 How EPA Rules Make Cars Worse (turbochargers, start/stop, and repair costs)   24:43 Modern cars: better MPG, pricier repairs (and the hidden maintenance bill)   26:45 Obama reacts to EPA rollback + the coming court fights   28:30 The $1.3T "savings" claim vs EV costs (especially insurance)   31:16 What the 2009 Endangerment Finding is—and why it matters legally   32:08 Clean Air Act language, Chevron deference, and who should decide   36:12 Charts & incentives: fuel economy trends, gas prices, and regulation credit   38:56 Cost-benefit reality check: tiny climate impact vs real economic costs   40:30 Environmental groups' lawsuits & the "apocalyptic" messaging debate   43:38 Emissions still fall + bigger looming issues (economy, Social Security)   47:05 What regular people can do: push consistent small-government principles   48:08 Dow watch & the core takeaway: power you grant will be used by opponents   51:16 Final wrap: liberty message + subscribe/share call to action   🔗[ALL LINKS]:  https://gml.bio.link   📼 [YouTube] :https://bit.ly/3UwsRiv   🗽[Fed Haters Club]: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/fedhatersclub   ⏳[Martens Minute]: https://martensminute.podbean.com/

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
