Have we forgotten what liberty really is? Os Guinness is author of the book, “Last Call for Liberty”, in which he argues that America’s genius for liberty could also become our Achilles heel.  Plus: It’s Dec. 20, which means time is running out to watch your favorite Christmas movies. But don’t worry: we have recommendations on what to watch. 

We also cover these stories:

–“We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump presidency,” President Trump tweeted, as reports indicated the United States was leaving the region.
–Paul Ryan, the outgoing speaker of the house, delivered his farewell address on Wednesday, capping off a 20-year career in the House of Representatives.
–Chick-fil-A is set to become the third most popular fast food chain in the country.

    Wow Paul Ryan’s ten year as speaker was really successful:

    1. Successfully building up the already worlds largest, richest, and most bloated military
    2. Successfully not stopping the energy growth in this country, though not successfully opening up Anwar, and getting the pipeline built
    3. Successfully not providing money for a wall, which is the one reason Trump was elected – way to go, Speaker of my party. I sure bet those new Republican voters will keep voting for us, now.
    4. Successfully allowing Trump to reduce regulation
    5. really, the VA thing is resolved?
    6. successfully spending more money on criminals, rather than law abiding citizens at the federal level
    7. What the hell did we do on the opiod crisis? Whatever it was, I bet it won’t work – but it will cost us money
    8. Oh yeah, and this deficit hawk, successfully got us into a situation of yearly trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see
