Show Notes

In 1981, California farmer Skip Pescosalido gave away half a million pounds of oranges to the poor—only to face a federal lawsuit for it. Why? Because his charity defied bureaucratic quotas. In this episode, R.J. Rushdoony explores the shocking case where generosity became a crime, exposing how central planning threatens both freedom and compassion. Tune in to hear why true charity cannot exist without liberty—and why, in today’s America, even giving oranges can land you in court.
