We hear a lot about cancel culture in the media today and have been hearing about this for the last two or three years or so.

But what exactly is it? Why do we see it on both the right and the left? What's so damaging about it?

Is there anything positive coming out of cancel culture?

Sean and I'll take up this hot button cultural issue around a new book by Greg Leuchkineoff and

Ricky Schlott called the Cancelling of the American Mind. This is Think

student of Jonathan Heights at NYU, is a Gen Z, still under 30, and is co-authored this particular book.

And so she brings, she's a libertarian Gen Z person who brings a pretty different

worldview than Luke Inhofe who's I think maybe a little bit more to the left of center on some things
