Dinesh D’Souza on Freedom of Thought, and ‘Trump Card: Beating Socialism, Corruption and the Deep State’

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!

Thoughts and Prayers

In the wake of the shooting in San Bernardino, we get into the "thoughts and prayers" debate that broke out last night after the NY Daily News published its provocative front page. Then, Dinesh D'Souza joins to discuss his new book Stealing America: What My Experience with Criminal Gangs Taught Me about Obama, Hillary, and the Democratic Party and get into detail about his experiences while incarcerated in a halfway house in Texas. But that's not all -- the great Garry Kasparov calls in to talk about his book Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped. His comments on Putin and Russia's place in the world are not to be missed. Finally, a meditation of Chick-fil-A courtesy of Ricochet member Olive and her post The Roaring Success of Chick-fil-A in New York City.
