Tonight on Libertarian Counterpoint, James Just breaks down a week of stories that reveal a single, undeniable truth:
When government grows, transparency shrinks — and ordinary people pay the price.
We examine:
• The Epstein files and elite protection networks
• The federal prosecution of Don Lemon and the assault on press freedom
• NYC’s deadly collectivist homeless policy
• A state attorney fired for dissent on gender‑affirming care
• California’s high‑speed rail secrecy and runaway costs
• Cato’s new data showing immigrants use less welfare than natives
• U.S. allies drifting toward China as U.S. foreign policy flounders
This episode connects the dots between secrecy, coercion, and the failure of central planning — and makes the libertarian case for transparency, decentralization, and individual liberty.
