In this week's episode we cover fake endangered species, Pennsylvania's climate policy showdown, a robust defense of property rights in New York, and Biden's lame-duck attack on offshore energy development. Our interview this week is with journalist, author, and legendary public policy hooligan Jim Bovard. We talk about government reform, freedom of speech, the legacy of the FBI, and whether it makes sense to optimistic about shrinking government.
