  • The Privileged Victim

    For the last decade, social justice on college campuses has changed American culture. Instead of the best and brightest rising to the top, we’ve been subjected to seeing the worst ideas and the worst people seizing the spotlight. A lot of it has to do with the struggle between the so-called “privileged” and those claiming “victim” status.

    My guest today is Eddie Scarry, he’s a commentary writer with the Washington Examiner and author of the new book, “Privileged Victims: How America’s Culture Fascists Hijacked the Country and Elevated its Worst People."
    On today’s show, we’re going to take a dive deep into what exactly is a privileged victim, how they've impacted our society, and ways to challenge them.

  • Tribalism & civility in politics
    Democrats, Republicans, progressives, conservatives, and libertarians all have a vision on how to make America (and the world) a better place to live in, yet instead of working together, they’re constantly screaming at each other. Individuals who are passionate about politics tend to engage in some form of tribalism where their loyalty to a certain group has created a breakdown in civility.
     
    My guest is Andrew Heaton, he’s a comedian and host of “The Political Orphanage.”
     
    On today’s show, we’re going to analyze how bad civility in politics has gotten from tribalism, how it’s evolved in the age of social media, and what can be done so that people aren’t going at each other’s throats.

  • The Chinese Uighur camps
    Since its founding, the Chinese Communist Party have detained millions of its own citizens and sent them to facilities to be re-educated in the ways  of advancing the communist agenda. In recent years, approximately 1 million Chinese Uighurs in the Xinjiang province have been detained in modern day concentration camps for the crime of practicing their Islamic faith.
     
    My guest today is Olivia Enos, senior policy analyst at the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation.

  • The endless Trump coup
    President Trump was impeached by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and then acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate on both counts. Democrats and Republicans have framed the proceedings as a miscarriage of justice, but for different reasons. The President and his supporters perceive the latest impeachment drama as the culmination of a deep state coup d’etat, resulting from years of constant attempts by Democrats to find any reason to nullify the 2016 election and remove Trump from office. Recent statements from Democrats suggest that, despite their latest high-profile failure to remove the President from office, they’ll likely try again. Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans have pledged to push forward with investigations into abusive practices by the Intelligence Community.
     
    My guest today is Congressman Devin Nunes, he’s a Republican representing California’s 22nd congressional district and the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
     
    On today’s show, we’re going to discuss the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, what Congressman Nunes discovered through his own investigation, Objective Medusa, and how this all led to Trump's impeachment and acquittal.
