It's no secret that the over-50 year-old Endangered Species Act (ESA) has become anti-farm activists' favorite tool to litigate and regulate farms out of business.

Dan Keppen, Family Farm Alliance's Executive Director, joins Dillon with details on a new effort in Congress to reform the ESA, to modernize the measure and re-focus it on actually restoring endangered species rather than enabling costly, farm-killing litigation.
