This week we talk about tariff refunds, Affordable Care Act subsidies, Ryan Young’s Books of the Year for 2025, and how Santa landed on Trump’s naughty list. Our guest this week is Marlo Lewis, Jr., senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. We talk about greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency’s “endangerment finding,” climate models, human health, and the future of environmental policy.
