# Assistant Attorney General Discusses Antitrust and Agriculture at Drake Law School
Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater delivered remarks at Drake University Law School in Des Moines, Iowa on November 19, 2025, addressing antitrust law and agriculture. The speech was hosted by the Federalist Society and titled "Agriculture, Antitrust, and Chesterton's Fence."
Slater discussed concerns among Generation Z conservatives about economic opportunity and affordability, noting that young Americans worry about purchasing homes, managing student debt, and maintaining family farms amid rising costs. She characterized these concerns as driving some toward socialism while emphasizing that the American Dream is built on individual freedom and free market principles rather than government central planning.
The Assistant Attorney General highlighted the Trump administration's efforts to support the free market system through tax cuts, inflation reduction, deregulation, and energy policy initiatives. She indicated that antitrust enforcement plays a significant role in ensuring competitive markets and economic opportunity for consumers, workers, and businesses of all sizes.
