The Libertarian Podcast with Richard Epstein: “Responding to the ISIS Threat”
This week on The Libertarian podcast, Professor Epstein considers the public policy questions stemming from the San Bernardino attack: do gun control efforts have a new currency after yet another mass shooting? Does the US need to seriously constrict immigration? Did the USA Freedom Act’s restrictions on the collection of metadata leave the country needlessly vulnerable? Find out Richard’s take on those questions and more below or by subscribing to The Libertarian via iTunes.

Excellent discussion. Thank you.
Great podcast. I’ve always been curious whether or not NSA surveillance is popular here on Ricochet. Looking at the two most popular candidates in the Ricochet Primaries, Marco Rubio has defended bulk data collection as a security measure. On the other hand, Ted Cruz stands in staunch opposition to it. There’s a rift here I don’t quite understand. For what it’s worth, I prefer Cruz’s stance on the NSA surveillance program. I don’t believe in trading liberty for security.
