In this episode, Dave sits down with Ricochet's own Dr. Bastiat for a free-wheeling discussion on everything from why progressives insist on loudly advocating for policies that don't work (e.g., a lack of border enforcement, lack of adequate policing, a revolving door justice system, anemic defense foreign policy that invites aggression, etc). Is the Democrat party really anti-American? Dr. Bastiat also explains why Joe Biden may actually have been the most successful president in history.
Along the way, Dave discusses the left's current meltdown over President Trump's rapid deportation of violent illegals from American soil. Getting a bit spun up, Dave doesn't stop until he's calling for at least some of these predators to be shipped to Pope Francis himself! It's a fast-paced episode, and a riveting conversation between Dave and Dr. Bastiat. This is one you won't want to miss.
