This Week, hosted by John Cameron with guest Jason McPhee, critically examines various government interventions and spending. Cameron first addresses the Army Corps of Engineers' American River project in Sacramento, arguing it's an unnecessary and environmentally destructive "boondoggle" due to government overreach and waste, advocating for citizen action to hold officials accountable. The discussion then shifts to broader governmental issues, including California's approach to low-income housing and its perceived failures, leading into a segment by Richard Fields. Fields' report scrutinizes the similarities between socialism and fascism, arguing both systems curtail individual freedoms and economic prosperity through centralized control, and posits that both Democratic and Republican administrations exhibit tendencies toward such control. The hosts further discuss Argentina's President Javier Milei as an example of successful government reduction, contrasting it with perceived U.N. bias and the concept of central planning as a root cause of global conflicts like the Israel-Gaza war. The episode concludes by questioning the necessity and cost of public holidays and the exorbitant salaries of Los Angeles lifeguards, attributing these to flawed central planning, and briefly touches on the Epstein files as a potential example of government manipulation.
