This week on the Big Show, we start in frigid Minnesota, home of one James Lileks, who describes life in a Polar Vortex for those of us who live in more temperate climes. Then, we're off to the swamps of Jersey for a visit from Commentary's Noah Rothman to talk about his fascinating new book Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America. Then, it's off to Venezuela where Annika Rothstein is on the ground in Caracas reporting on the collapse of a revolution. Finally, we end up back in the good old U.S. of A for some Super Bowl picks from the hosts. Who ya got?

Noah Rothman's claim that Donald Trump helped make the alt-right a force in American politics today is laughable - "today" being the operative word here. Regrettably James, Peter or Rob did not challenge the claim. I realize that Bill Kristol and Max Boot would disagree with me vehemently...so, there is that.

The big problem with "economically conservative but socially liberal" is that "socially liberal" tends to be very expensive.

Haven't listened yet, but @EJHill, that's beautiful.
