Today, Ben sits down with former Secretary of the Interior in the Trump Administration, David Bernhardt, to discuss his new book, You Report to Me: Accountability for the Failing Administrative State.  

Ben and David discuss how the Washington D.C. swamp really works and reveals how unaccountable power has quietly concentrated in the administrative state over the last two decades. Drawing on his experiences working under two administrations, David details how President Trump's enabling leadership revealed a path for curtailing this from occurring in the future.

Later, Ben shares concerning information regarding medical gender transitions before the age of 18.
