Summary

What if the rage tearing through America today is the exact same rage that turned the French Revolution into a bloodbath? Nationally acclaimed legal scholar Jonathan Turley sits down with Glenn to unpack his new book, "Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution." Through the sharp lens of Thomas Paine — the revolutionary firebrand who played a role in both the American triumph and the French catastrophe — Turley delivers a chilling warning: We've been here before. He draws parallels between the mob-driven chaos of history and today's furious calls to trash the Constitution, pack the Supreme Court, and let raw majorities run wild. Turley spotlights the Minnesota riots: Are they an "insurrection" or a stark symptom of something far more dangerous? Turley suggests the Clinton-Epstein scandal should be "the world's fastest trial" and confronts the AI and robotics revolution head-on, warning of mass unemployment and proposing a solution. The American experiment hangs in the balance. Will we repeat the French nightmare or rediscover the genius that saved us the first time?
