Summary

“After I began to volunteer with this alderman and learn the ways of the Democratic Party … I began to question some of the narratives,” says Gianno Caldwell, author of “Taken for Granted: How Conservatism Can Win Back the Americans That Liberalism Failed.” He found himself wondering, “Why is it that although these politicians come every year during election time, why is it the conditions and the communities never get better?” That was the beginning of his journey to the right.  We also cover the following stories: ·        The Supreme Court hears the first major gun rights case in almost a decade. ·        President Trump criticizes Democrats for having impeachment hearings during a NATO event. ·        Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg says social media shouldn't censor politicians.
