Summary
Bob flies solo in this episode, as Tom & Family evacuate for the hurricane. Krugman makes some good observations about the economics of immigration, but (as usual) he misrepresents his opponents (while accusing them of being liars). Bob offers his own views on how libertarians might better approach this controversial subject.

| 1:00.8 | Bob Murphy here. Unfortunately, Tom cannot be with us because of the hurricane situation |

| 1:33.5 | It's a lot of pressure. |
| 1:34.8 | It's one thing, you know, just to sit back and throw in zingers when Tom leaves himself |
