Summary

How will historians look back at 2020? "I think it's a decisive moment and I don't think we know yet how it's going to work out," says former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. "Once you start tearing down statues, somebody hates the next statue, the statue after that," adds Gingrich, author of "Trump and the American Future: Solving the Great Problems of Our Time." "And then you end up with a statue that was built by freed slaves as a tribute to the man who freed them, Abraham Lincoln, is now inadequate, according to people who don't have a clue what the Civil War was like, what Lincoln did, or how gigantic the change was. So you basically have barbarians." We also cover these stories: Seattle police are disbanding the CHOP zone. President Trump tweets about the New York Times article that Russia is paying bounties for dead Americans in Afghanistan. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks out against China's new crackdown on Hong Kong. “The Daily Signal Podcast” is available on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Pippa, Google Play, and Stitcher.
