Topic: Administrative state

The administrative state refers to the expanding bureaucratic and regulatory power of unelected federal agencies and civil servants, which many conservatives view as an undemocratic consolidation of government control.

More on: Administrative state

The administrative state is a central topic in the podcast episodes, which discuss the growing power and influence of federal agencies, and conservative efforts to limit or dismantle this bureaucratic system.

Several episodes delve into the Supreme Court case Loper Bright v. Raimondo, which overturned the Chevron deference doctrine, a legal precedent that had granted federal agencies broad authority to interpret and enforce regulations. This ruling is seen as a significant blow to the administrative state by those who view it as an unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy.

Other episodes explore how the administrative state has expanded its reach into areas like healthcare, the environment, and the economy, and how this has led to concerns about regulatory overreach, loss of individual liberty, and the concentration of power in the hands of unelected officials. Figures like Vivek Ramaswamy and Justice Neil Gorsuch are featured prominently, advocating for the dismantling of the administrative state and a return to more limited government.
