Editor at Large of Reason magazine, Nick Gillespie returns to the podcast discuss the current state of libertarianism, why he feels it’s moving into a revival, Trump’s tariff tantrums, what’s wrong with the deportations, the problem with Europe, pondering how California lost Hollywood and Silicon Valley and what it will take to recover, and whether or not bitcoin can fix money. He and Bridget cover the reality of the middle class, the truth about factory jobs, why he’s a techno optimist, the future of school choice, the wars within the political parties, why he isn’t worried about collapsing birth rates, and why he sees Trump as the end of an era rather than the beginning of a new one.
