Attorney General William Barr faces a grilling on Capitol Hill that seemed to serve no higher purpose than allowing Democrats to vent and giving Republicans a chance to demonstrate their fealty to the administration. Which leads the podcast to ask the question on every political observer’s mind: What good are congressional hearings? Is this what majoritarian democracy becomes?

There are very few people who know there were about 1200 domestic terrorist bombings in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. This is because most of the media don’t mention it. For them the ‘60’s was about long hair, free love, rock ‘n’ roll, drug experimentation, and anti-war and overall grooviness. In the future, the media will celebrate the current “protests” as a positive. The rioting will be downplayed or ignored.
