In this episode, Leo talks about The Green New Deal. He explores why this bill will not work. Using a liberal scholar's economic philosophy, Leo turns The Green New Deal on itself.

He hopes this empowers you and other conservatives to start being active in the market for the environment.Research used for this Episode:O'connor, James. The fiscal crisis of the state.
