Federal court blocks Alabama law that criminalized most abortions https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-court-blocks-alabama-law-that-criminalized-most-abortions?fbclid=IwAR0WTDkVHbbSRj3CGZA3kNOdI5qnVPP2ugeWWWIYoBVjdtOi1_VaFZ9GZ4Q A federal judge issued a ruling Tuesday blocking an Alabama law that would make abortion a felony in nearly all situations, regardless of the stage of the pregnancy. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson granted a motion for a preliminary injunction, temporarily preventing the law from being enforced as a lawsuit over the law brought by abortion providers moves forward. "The court is persuaded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in showing that the Act violates an individual's constitutional right to obtain a pre-viability abortion, and thus that it violates her constitutional rights," the ruling said, noting that "banning abortion before viability violates Supreme Court precedent." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we talked about Clay Aiken's meltdown in front of a crowd of thousands at Politicon this weekend. The Immaturity, oh the immaturity. We also spent a lot of time discussing Bernie Sanders' plan for a Universal Jobs Guarantee. It reminded us of this story from the great Economist Milton Friedman. Economist Milton Friedman was once traveling overseas and spotted a construction site in which the workers were using shovels instead of more modern equipment like bulldozers. When his host responded that the goal was to increase the number of jobs in the construction industry, Friedman replied, "Then instead of shovels, why don't you give them spoons and create even more jobs?" Friedman hit the nail on the head. If your goal is more jobs in America, why not just get rid of all the tractors, combines, planters, and automobiles? Everyone will be guaranteed to have a job. Of course, that would be a terrible idea. The goal would be for those jobs to add value in society. The problem with added Federal jobs is that the money to pay those positions must first be taken from productive sides of the economy. Thus, the job you "create" using tax money must add more value than the productive use that money would have had in the hands of it's original owner.

We attended Politicon in Nashville, TN this weekend. Politicon has political figures from all parties converge for discussions, panels, and debates. When we recorded our live episode on Sunday, we decided to speak on healthcare, something both of us would be considered "experts" in, considering we own and operate a business that helps large healthcare companies navigate the tens of thousands of regulations and laws restricting healthcare providers. We chose to pinpoint a few specific regulations that political enthusiasts on both sides could agree to axe. Speaking in front of Trump supporters, Bernie supports, and everyone in between, we found it to be a very fun and meaningful experience.

Elizabeth Warren has a plan for everything. Some of those plans are expensive. With Warren emerging as a front-runner in the Democratic presidential contest, Yahoo Finance tallied the cost of her plans. Altogether, the Massachusetts senator's agenda would require $4.2 trillion per year in new federal spending, and a like amount in new taxes, if she paid for everything without issuing new debt. The federal government currently spends about $4.4 trillion per year, so Warren's plans would nearly double federal spending. The Treasury takes in about $3.4 trillion in tax revenue each year, so if Warren levied new taxes to pay for everything, federal taxation would rise by 124%. She could pay for some of her plans by issuing new debt instead of raising taxes, but with annual deficits close to $1 trillion already, that might be unwise. - Read the rest of the article from Yahoo Finance Visit BernieLies.com to read articles debunking the many fallacies of Democratic Socialism Grab a "Taxation is Theft," "Shall Not Be Infringed," or "Free Snowden" shirt from our merch store! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

DAILY WIRE- Jury Rules Against Texas Dad Fighting 7-Year-Old Son's Gender Transition https://www.dailywire.com/news/jury-rules-against-texas-dad-trying-to-save-7-year-old-son-from-gender-transition-potential-castration?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dwbrand On Monday, a jury ruled against a Texas father, Jeffrey Younger, attempting to stop his seven-year-old son from a gender transition being facilitated by Dr. Anne Georgulas, the boy's mother and Younger's ex-wife. According to the LifeSiteNews, Georgulas has been granted authority to move forward with puberty blockers, which can cause chemical castration, and, potentially, hormones, if she so chooses. Additionally, with the jury's decision, Mr. Younger will likely be forced to "affirm" his son's new gender identity: a girl named "Luna." ​FATHER- "I want you to imagine having electronic communication with your son on FaceTime, and imagine that your ex-wife has dressed him as a drag queen to talk to you," Younger told host Luke Macias during an episode of "The Luke Macias Show" podcast in January. "He has false eyelashes and makeup. His hair has got glitter in it. He's wearing a dress." "Now imagine how you would feel seeing what I believe is actual sexual abuse — I believe this is not just emotional abuse but is the very, most fundamental form of sexual abuse, tampering with the sexual identity of a vulnerable boy," the father continued. As reported by The Daily Wire in November, court documents show that Younger's son only dresses as a girl when he's with his mother, who calls the boy by his trans name and has even enrolled James as "Luna" in school. According to Younger, however, James consistently chooses to wear boy's clothes, "violently refuses to wear girl's clothes at my home," and identifies as a boy whenever he is around him. James' mother has accused Younger of child abuse in their divorce proceedings "for not affirming James as transgender" and is looking to strip the dad of his parental rights, reported The Federalist. Georgulas is also seeking to force Younger to foot the bill for James' visits to a transgender-affirming therapist and transgender medical alterations, which may include "chemical castration" two years from now, when the child is just eight. The father noted that, in his opinion, he witnessed that his wife "was only giving [James] love and affection when he was acting like a girl." She used to lock James in his room and tell him monsters only eat boys, Younger added. "Every. Single. Day. You have to see your son sexually abused, and you have to maintain your calm," the Texas father continued, "because the courts are not going to be fair to you. And the only way you can survive this and get your son through this alive is to calmly allow your son to be tortured right before your eyes and outlast the opposition. That's what it's like."

The first ever UK Chick-Fil-A was opened less than 2 weeks ago, and this weekend they announced they will be closing their doors amid backlash from the public. This comes at the same time as a tweet went viral stating that Chick-Fil-A essentially funded a preacher's trip to Uganda that helped them craft a law imprisoning homosexuals, and even sentencing them to death. It took a lot of digging, but by my research has me calling "Myth" on this one. Check out this article from truthorfiction.com - This website from what I can tell if fairly unbiased. If anything, they lean to the left. They rated this tweet "Decontextualized." Even the preacher Chick-Fil-A is said to have funded said himself that he did not support Uganda's law. And the craftily worded stories support that fact by saying sneakily that "Organizers of the conference" helped create Uganda's law. I don't know if you've ever seen a speaker at a conference, but various speakers are not typically people affiliated with said conference. The fact that you spoke somewhere, and then the group that asked you to speak later decided to do something bad, is not proof that you yourself did something bad. Charlie and I spoke at the Young American's for Liberty Conference last month in Detroit. If next month, YAL decides to help craft a Medicare for All law, is Good Morning Liberty guilty of crafting the Medicare for All law? The other organization that there is actual proof of receiving donations from Chick-Fil-A was "Exodus International." Exodus International did in fact send a board member to Uganda in 2009 that said homosexuality was "Evil" in a speech at the conference. Less than a year later, Exodus' president expressed remorse for being involved with the conference in Uganda, and stated that they did not support Uganda's harsh homosexuality law. In 2012, Exodus International disbanded. If Chick-Fil-A did in fact financially support the creation of Uganda's law, then I would boycott them myself. It should go without saying that this type of law does not fit within the teachings of Christianity in the first place, and it obviously doesn't belong in a free society. However, it seems like this is a lot of tactical article writing on the part of those looking to tear down an otherwise stellar chicken joint. Listen to the podcast for more!

In 1964, the U.S., and President Lyndon B. Johnson declared war. No, not on Vietnam, not on the Middle East, but on "Poverty." At that time, the rate of poverty in the United States was indeed higher than it is right now. The poverty rate was 17.3%, with nearly 39 million Americans living below the poverty threshold. Since then, the U.S. has taxed and spent almost $27 trillion (2019) dollars fighting the "War on Poverty." That's money that was taken out of the production economy, and inserted in the consumption side of the economy. Many on the left would argue that this money was well spent. I've heard explanations like "Just imagine what the poverty rate would have been without that money spent." Afterall, it is true that the poverty rate is lower today than it was in 1964. How much lower is the poverty rate? The most recent data from the US Census Bureau shows that the current poverty rate is 12.3%, with nearly 40 million Americans living below the poverty threshold. Some might say "See? The rate is lower, therefore the War on Poverty has been a success." Those might also point to the fact that immediately following the implementation of the "war," the poverty rate fell from 17.3% in 1964, to 12.5% in 1974. My response to this assertion would be to look at the rate at which poverty had decreased in the 10 years previous to the war's implementation. In the 10 years prior to the start of the war, the poverty rate dropped from 26% to 17.3%. That equals a fall of 8.7 real percentage points, or a 33% decline in the 10 years prior to implementation of the war. The rate of decline following implementation, when the rate fell from 17.3% to 12.5%, was 4.8 real points, or a 27% decline in the rate. This means that the rate of decline actually slowed immediately following the beginning of the war. Today I want to imagine where our economy would be- had that money been left in the right hands. First, it should be discussed what actually constitutes poverty. I'd be dishonest if I did not first admit that the standard of living today is far better than in 1964. In fact, one could make the argument that by 1964's standards, almost no one today is in poverty. Is that a consequence of government spending, or did it happen despite government spending?

Today I ran through a few important news stories you might have missed throughout the week. I covered everything from the first all-female spacewalk, the massive teacher's strike in Chicago, Elon Musk being out of cash, and troubles facing the stock market. At the end of the show I spent a bit of time discussing Neil deGrasse Tyson's comments on the Ben Shapiro Show, when he was asked by Shapiro about Libertarianism. He said he can't be a Libertarian, because Libertarians are all about "I'm gonna get mine, you get yours..etc." Basically that Libertarianism is purely selfish, and does not look out for those in need in our society. I discussed why on a technical level this might be true, but on an emotional level we are truly believe that this philosophy is the best way to help the most amount of people. The free market has led to a standard of living that those 100 years ago couldn't have even imagined. If we want to help people, we need to unleash the free market.
