Liberalism Can’t Save America, Only Destroy It

Episode length: 37m

The American liberal today no longer represents what liberalism once stood for. Rather than the classical understanding of liberalism—guided by Enlightenment philosophy and focused on limited government and individual freedom—the modern American liberal movement is intellectually totalitarian.

Dr. Roberts recently made this case at Yale University, arguing that liberalism has failed. In this episode, he and his co-host, Larry O’Connor, take a closer look at those remarks and examine the fundamental differences between conservatives and today’s American liberals.

Larry O’Connor is the host of “O’Connor & Company” on WMAL-FM and “LARRY” on Townhall Media.

Dr. Kevin Roberts is the president of The Heritage Foundation.
