Disturbing parallels can be drawn between the United States and the Soviet bloc of Eastern Europe, commentator and bestselling author Rod Dreher says.

Dreher, a senior editor at The American Conservative, received a phone call in 2015 that sent him on a journey to investigate whether America is losing its freedoms in the same way that Eastern Europe lost its liberty to the Soviet Union. What he found inspired his latest book, “Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents.”

Dreher joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss the book and what the future may hold if Americans do not stand against the agenda of the radical left.

Also on today’s show, we read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about a Coast Guard veteran who saved multiple people from a fire in Washington state.
