In NYC, two people stopped me on the street and commented on my conversation with philosopher and linguist Benedict Beckeld. One man told me, and I quote, "It changed my life."

Obviously, then, due to the overwhelmingly positive responses and because Benedict challenged some of my core beliefs, it was a no-brainer to have another conversation with him.

Our conversation in NYC was forthright, nuanced, I'm sure controversial to many, and I found it genuinely engaging. We talked about the decline of the West, Islam, and much more.
