Will Liberal Democracy Survive? - with Jonah Goldberg

Why have the classical liberal ideas that helped emancipate the Jews become so vulnerable? Dan is joined by Jonah Goldberg of The Dispatch to ask why classical liberalism, which is the political tradition that embraces equality, individual rights and restraints on government, has become so vulnerable. They discuss how the terms liberal, progressive and socialist got confused, and why they think the DSA agenda will fail. Goldberg also explains the economic and cultural forces he sees fueling populism on the left and right, whether America’s liberal tradition is strong enough to withstand them, and what its erosion could mean for Jews.

Suicide of The West

This week, it's our good pal Jonah Goldberg for the full hour to talk about his new book, Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy (yes, you MUST buy it!). We delve into the book's argument, the lineage of the title, and what can be done in terms of suicide prevention. It's a fantastic conversation. Also, Rob's in Paris and will there be peace in our time on the Korean Peninsula? Mon dieu! Music from this week's show: Suicide Is Painless by Ania
