In this episode of LCI Greenroom: Open and Unscripted, host Jacob Winograd is joined by Norman Horn and Cody Cook to explore whether libertarians have cause for optimism about recent political developments. The panel examines Donald Trump’s promises, including his pivotal role in freeing Ross Ulbricht, and debates whether his broader track record warranted support this past election, as well as any continued libertarian support or optimism going forward.

The discussion also delves into Elon Musk’s proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—is it a visionary idea to streamline government or just political theater? Vivek Ramaswamy stepping out just as it started adds another wrinkle to the equation. Join us as we dig into the real questions libertarians are facing today—can we trust political promises, and do ideas like DOGE actually have the potential to change anything? It’s a conversation that’s bound to challenge your perspective and spark some spirited debate.
