we talk about the state of worker freedom. Good afternoon, sir. Thank you so much for joining

us on this edition of the Federalist Radio Hour. Matt, it's a privilege to talk with you today.

And what a great day to talk about labor policy, huh?

Oh, yeah, perfect timing on all of this sort of thing.

I mean, I guess we start with labor policy.

And I think certainly a sea change in all of that in this administration, which we'll get to momentarily.

But I think it's important to take a look back at where we have been in this country,

in organized labor and worker freedom and where it suggests we're going.

I mean, there was a time in this country when labor unions really were, you know,

a good deal about protecting workers and protecting workers from, you know, being taken

advantage of. Now, in so many cases, over the last several decades, we've seen workers being taken advantage

of by the unions.

We have seen big labor put in big amounts of money.

I mean, we are talking over the years billions of dollars into the political system, and

it's all going, of course, for left-wing candidates and policies.

So much has changed since the dawn of the 20th century as we get well into the 21st century.
