    Episode Seven: The End of Hamas? Richard Epstein on Israel’s Path Forward
    Oct 15 2025
    Richard Epstein discusses Donald Trump’s surprise ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Richard argues it’s not peace but a pause—born of Israel’s decisive military campaign and Hamas’s collapse. He explains how Netanyahu, Trump, and shifting Middle East alliances created a fragile new order, and why Gaza’s future now depends on demilitarization, reconstruction, and realism.

    Episode Six: Trump v. Kimmel
    Sep 25 2025
    Richard Epstein dives into the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel, the FCC, and free speech. Using the recent dust-up as a starting point, Epstein traces the history of the Federal Communications Commission from its origins in the 1930s through landmark cases like Red Lion. He explains how government licensing of the broadcast spectrum opened the door to censorship, distortion, and inefficiency—and why libertarians like Ronald Coase pushed for a market-based approach instead. Professor Epstein also contrasts Hayek’s vision of free entry with Felix Frankfurter’s regulatory mindset, explores the limits of “public interest” obligations, and shows how today’s fragmented media landscape makes FCC power increasingly obsolete.
