Summary
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to John Anderson (former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia) about his thoughts on the challenges with the current political landscape in Western societies. John talks about the importance of vigorous debate between all political sides. He shares his concern over the loss of prudence, and how it has led to voters expecting too much from their politicians, but also politicians making too many promises that won't be kept. He also ponders how we've robbed our children through our mistakes of the things we've taken for granted. John also shares his thoughts on the new caste system that he sees developing around victimhood. He finishes by covering some of the myths Americans have about Australia.
