Why We Can't Build Anything (ft. Thomas Hochman, Santi Ruiz, and Mark DiPlacido)

In Today’s special live-to-tape episode of Moment of Truth, Saurabh sits down with Thomas Hochman, Policy Manager at the Foundation for American Innovation and 2023 American Moment Fellow alongside Santi Ruiz, Senior Editor at the Institute for Progress, and Mark DiPlacido, Policy Advisor at American Compass, to discuss environmental overreach and excessive regulations inherent to the NEPA legislation and their consequences for industry, innovation, and national security.

Thomas Hochman dives deep into his American Affairs piece and the impact NEPA is having on the U.S. semiconductor industry and its detrimental impacts on a potential conflict between Taiwan and China.
