Summary

Wilfred Reilly returns to discuss his new book, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me . He and Bridget talk about how there's a whole social science telling people two things - that Western society is one of the worst ever, and nobody knows it but the cool kids - and how his book works to debunk myths that have sprung up in American history. They cover the unexplored idea that the hippie movement was mostly bad, the realities of modern feminism, the truth about the "manosphere," and the biological realities of historical gender roles. They also discuss the divide between academic knowledge and common wisdom, political polarization, online radicalization, the "body count" discussion, porn, and what may lead us to a societal collapse.
