As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, a sense of unease settles over the nation. The country's ideological foundations are being threatened, and the lines are being drawn in an ideological civil war. Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) Allen B. West, combat veteran, and former Member of the U.S. Congress, joins Seth by phone to talk about his involvement with the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU), where he serves as Executive Director, and the ACRU’s Committee to Support and Defend. Become a member of the committee today at https://supportanddefend.org/. In their thought-provoking conversation, Lieutenant Colonel West shares his insights on the parallels between the current state of the nation and the lead-up to the Civil War. He discusses the threat of Marxism and Islamism, and how they're combining to form a powerful and destructive force. He also talks about the importance of understanding and defending America's constitutional rights and freedoms, and the need for a new generation of leaders to step up and take action.
