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.
