On 2 January 2025, I kicked off the new year with a long conversation with Judge Napolitano on his podcast, “Judging Freedom.” The issues remain the same, but analyzing them and trying to figure out where we are headed is as challenging as ever.https://www.youtube.com/live/cyzQAIRTci8?si=optFkomTZFPN4oKG
