Ep. 1263 - One Year Since George Floyd’s Death, BLM Has Made Everything Worse

In this book, Ben Shapiro argues that a growing number of Americans are seeking to dismantle the foundations of the United States by canceling its shared history, ideals, and culture. He identifies 'disintegrationists' as those who view American history through the lens of oppression and see its philosophy as flawed. Shapiro warns that if these foundational truths are not upheld, America's future as a cohesive nation is threatened.

In this book, Christopher Caldwell argues that the reforms of the 1960s, intended to make the nation more just and humane, have come with staggering costs in wealth, freedom, and social stability. These costs have been unevenly distributed among classes and generations. Caldwell explores key political turning points over the past half-century, including affirmative action, leveraged buyouts, iPhones, Oxycotin, Black Lives Matter, and internet cookies, showing how these reforms have led to two incompatible political systems and driven the country toward conflict.
