Manchin would do differently if he worked on the IRA again, critical minerals, the national debt, and more.

FREEDOM with Congressman Josh Harder

We’re joined by Congressman Josh Harder, chair of the bipartisan Build America Caucus, to talk about the FREEDOM Act – his new permitting certainty bill aimed at stopping presidents from weaponizing red tape against disfavored energy projects. We cover how court-approved contractors and clear timelines can keep projects on schedule, why an insurance-style de-risking fund gives developers confidence to invest, and how tighter limits on stop‑work orders protect projects that are already under construction. Congressman Harder also shares what’s next on the Build America agenda for housing, infrastructure, and pro-growth policy.
