In this episode, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) describes the "breakdown of community" in the USA and the corresponding "rise of a new oligarchy of wealth and education."

He argues that the nation's cultural moment requires "a new politics of family and neighborhood...of love and belonging...[and] of home."

Sen. Hawley, the U.S. Senate's youngest member, presented this speech on Nov. 19, 2019, at the 6th Annual Gala hosted by the American Principles Project Foundation.
