Josh and Mark discuss traversing from a left-wing bubble to second thoughts and classical liberalism. At present, a less educated America, ignorant of civics, politics and its founding documents tears down its founders, then goes further and rejects MLK’s vision, at its great peril. It takes either an open mind or something to open our minds to know we have more in common with each other than we think. Rejection of equality is an American tragedy. The erosion of parental rights is the hallmark of an ideology too many in the West don’t understand. Can a spiritual awakening save America, both believer and nonbeliever alike?

Who are the Woke? David Horowitz, one of the leading intellectuals of our time, explains it all for us on this episode. “They’re beyond communist,” he explains, and have left people afraid to speak, using tactics reminiscent of Chairman Mao and WW2 Germany. Horowitz discusses the open border, the Stalinesque show trials involving our former President, the end of equality and the rejection of Martin Luther King’s message. As discussed in many of his books, academia has been overrun with woke beliefs while well-endowed, tax-exempt universities take billions out of taxpayer pockets, effectively rendering them charities and soapboxes for a radical rejection of American values. Despite what people believe, the big money is now on the left, not the right. Also, why intersectionality must be rejected, and why having second thoughts might lose you some friends, but make you some new—and real—ones. David is the founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Find him at frontpagemag.com Subscribe to The Crusher and share!
