Fred Siegel—An Origin Story, Part 1

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

Steve Hayward goes back into the archives for an audio file from a video interview he conducted with Fred Siegel a few years back in which Fred explains how he came to shed the liberalism of his youth. Along the way, he provides a grand tour of some of the leading intellectuals he knew or read in the 1960s and 1970s, how he regarded the Vietnam War, what it was like working as a field rep for George McGovern's 1972 campaign, and the many things wrong with leftist thought today.

Since the show talks a lot about the sixties, the choice of exit music was obvious: "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield.

Hosted by Steve Hayward, with guest FSFred Siegel
