We're excited to be talking to Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" and author of the new book, "The Authoritarian Moment." There's a lot to discuss in today's polarized political and cultural spheres, and we start with one of the most contentious topics: vaccines. Just as concerning as the virus itself is the constant misinformation and flip-flopping done by the media; if anything, they have only themselves to blame for vaccine hesitancy in America. Unfortunately, this issue, like so many others, has been weaponized by the Left to push their authoritarian agenda. Shapiro's new book deals with the topic of authoritarianism, plainly laying out the problem facing America. But what solutions are there? Should conservatives consider some sort of collective action to resist the behemoth of leftist ideology, or is a more libertarian approach the way to go? Either way, it seems like more and more Americans are seeing the red flags, and the time for complacency is over.
