As the Trump administration pursues its federal downsizing project, we're joined by Nick Gillespie, Editor at Large of “Reason” magazine and Host of “The Reason Interview with Nick Gillespie” podcast, to examine what's at stake. We explore where libertarian principles align with and diverge from Trump's approach, debate if government serves as essential check on free markets, and consider what role government should play in a society that values both liberty and the public good. PLUS+, find out what Donald Trump, Bob Dylan & George Constanza have in common!
