Here’s How to Fight Back # 1010 (Ep 1010): In this episode I address the breaking news about Bob Mueller’s witch-hunt. I also address another attack directed at a member of the Trump family. Finally, I discuss the unbelievable liberal hypocrisy about the border. News Picks:Breaking: Mueller to testify on Capitol Hill on July 17th. Fascinating study points out that liberal elitists are the real cause of the political divide in America. The big problem with student loan forgiveness which no liberal dares talk about. There’s no conspiracy behind the conditions in immigration facilities, despite the absurd liberal rhetoric. Our national debt situation is entirely out of control.

Defending Liberalism with Adam Gopnik: Liberalism is the ordering principal of American government, and yet liberalism is embattled. After the end of the Cold War, it was widely believed that liberal democracy would spread inexorably, but instead new challenges to liberalism have emerged. Across the world, authoritarian governments flourish and some countries have begun to backslide away from liberalism. Even here at home, liberalism’s critics on the left and right have found renewed strength. This week Adam Gopnik, author of the new book A Thousand Small Sanities: The Moral Adventure of Liberalism, sits down to discuss the roots and tenets of liberalism and the serious challenges our liberal democracy now faces.
