This week, Dave welcomes prominent filmmaker, author, and scholar Dinesh D'Souza to the show to discuss Dinesh's new film, "Trump Card: Beating Socialism, Corruption and the Deep State." Released less than a week ago, Trump Card is already #1 on Amazon as well as iTunes. Dave and Dinesh begin by discussing the steady erosion of freedom of thought and speech that Dinesh eloquently noted in his 1991 book, "Illiberal Education" and which he spoke about at length in a special Firing Line Debate, hosted by William F. Buckley, Jr., that same year. But the conversation focuses primarily on Mr. D'Souza's new film and how he takes the viewer with him to research and interview key people in today's political divide. A popular speaking on College Campuses across the country, Dinesh explains in detail the pathologies and methods of those attempting to remake America.
Then Dave settles in for a fun and informative chat with Ricochet member Jenna Stocker, whose recent article, "America Needs Its Cowboys," provides a much needed reminder of the sort iconic heroes and role models who helped build a nation, and whose example can illuminate the path out of the anarchy and chaos afflicting so much of the nation today.
Finally, if you’re listening to Dave’s show, but you’re not a Ricochet member, there is a way you can get a 30 day free trial membership . Tune in to learn more!

Michael Moore has seen the light? When and how? I kept hoping he'd get it, as he was one of the first white men to be shown the door back in the day.
It was the late 1980's and he was writing for Mother Jones. They had no use for him, as he wasn't a person of color and wasn't female. His sensibilities were far too working class to be assimilated into the posturing of "the least fortunate in our society who are people of color have needs, but no one else does."
Plus he knew the editors there were posturing. Yet over the past 3 decades, he has not ventured outside the Dem Party, at least not that I had heard of.
