This week, we discuss a slew of topics with Viana Schlapp (33:45), the eldest daughter of the most powerful conservative couple in Washington: Matt & Mercedes Schlapp. We also weigh in on the President’s justified labeling of the mainstream press as the “enemy,” more fallout from the Cardinal McCarrick scandal, Alexandria Cortez’ dark past as a “Smithean” capitalist and more!

Today we had the honor of interviewing Professor Patrick Deneen, author of the critically acclaimed work, Why Liberalism Failed, which has been called “one of the most important political books of 2018” by Rod Dreher. In his provocative work, Deneen maintains “liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history.” We unpack these and other questions with Prof. Deneen, and discuss how liberalism has affected virtually every aspect of modern society; from politics, to religion, to culture; to questions of ontology and the natural law.
