Summary
The goal of parenting is to make an independent, responsible adult, not to shower your child with love or even to be loved by your children… Dennis talks to Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute and a leading authority on China. His new book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to Pandemics. China warns the US that bad things will happen if Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan. Will the US back down?... Portland public schools push leftist woke ideas on students. Do parents in Portland know this? Dennis talks to Rafael Mangual, senior fellow and head of research for policing and public safety at the Manhattan Institute. His new book is Criminal (In)Justice: What the Push for Decarceration and Depolicing Gets Wrong and Who It Hurts Most.
