Optimism: Young Christians and Civic Renewal

Ayaan Hirsi Ali sits down with Bridget for an in-depth conversation about if and how the West can save itself. They discuss why the Constitution isn’t a suicide pact and shouldn’t be weaponized against us by those who seek our destruction,  how our core values of tolerance and freedom are being exploited by adversaries who don’t share those values, the post-9/11 failure of Western elites to understand Islamic ideology and jihadist motivation, and the binary choice America faces with Iran’s regime — destroy them or they destroy us. They also cover why Europe may be past the point of no return, why white liberal feminists stay silent on Iran’s women while obsessing over Palestine, how the rise of antisemitism is a big red flag about the health of a civilization, how Christian morality provides the operating system Western civilization runs on,  the rising generation of young Christians and patriots building rather than destroying, and why she’s more optimistic now than she’s been in years.
