Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot loses her bid for reelection. PLUS Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can’t Talk About”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a recent Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) survey indicating that 40% of liberal professors are afraid of losing their jobs over a misunderstanding. In his most recent National Review editorial, “Why ‘National Divorce’ is An Insanely Bad Idea.” Dr. Reilly writes, “[w]e talk a lot about ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states, but these are election-year terms of art arising from the dirty business of political consulting: In reality, almost no American state slants more than 60 percent in either direction, and the real division is between red and blue counties within each one”—ultimately arguing in favor of renewed appreciation for federalism.

That support, however, is not without limits.” You can read the full article at: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/02/americas-interests-are-not-necessarily-the-same-as-ukraines/
