It made national news days ago when a federal judge who disagrees with the latest leftist obsessions was unable to deliver his prepared remarks because of heckling by students who cannot allow the expression of opposing ideas. But the icing on the cake came when a dean stood up and -- instead of scolding the little savages -- scolded the judge himself. Tim Rosenberger, Jr., heads the Federalist Society chapter at Stanford and joins us to discuss what happened, what it means for the future, and what we must do.

I'm afraid the dull-sounding title will lead people to skip this episode, but it's one of the best of 2023. Gene Epstein comments on my episode with Mark Skousen on Adam Smith, and warns that Smith's deviations have been exploited by opponents of the market economy. The opening banter on this one is long but heartwarming.
