Amazon offers employees up to £8,000 for education and training, like Juliet.

0:07.0

She's now a trained technician.

0:10.0

And to her, the sound of machinery in need of repair, reminds her of how far she's come.

0:18.0

In two years, she's landed her dream job, providing her with valuable skills.

That's up to £8,000 for educationary Carabelle. Zachary is an author. He's a historian. He's written more than a dozen books and a diversity of topics. Check those out. And he's also the founder of the Progress Network. And we were guests on Zachary's show. And we thought we'd invite him here to tackle a light topic like the current crisis of liberalism and why everyone hates liberals and the Democratic Party. So, Zachary,

1:13.5

thank you so much for joining us. Sure. So, Zachary, defend liberalism.

1:20.8

Defend liberalism. Sure. Two minutes for last place. Go. The liberalism failed and everything

1:24.8

that it's tried to do now. We can only give you 90 seconds.

1:33.4

Okay. Go for it. Um, so maybe, maybe it might be worthwhile in all seriousness to talk about this.

it almost embodies the Democratic Party. It's kind of like a husk of a shell that people don't

2:09.3

believe in, but that is nevertheless allowed to govern. Polls seem to show deep dissatisfaction

2:14.4

with the Democratic Party. I think that reflects a more profound satisfaction with the type of centrist liberalism that is governed in this country off and on for

2:22.1

decades. So I'm just curious, what do you think was going on there? Do you think it reflects anything

2:27.5

bigger? Do you think it was just, you know, a few bad people, a few bad eggs and good institutions?

2:34.3

What's your take on that whole situation?

2:37.2

So first, I'm to throw out just a big, big picture proposition, which we can circle back to,

2:44.2
