Research fellow Benjamin Ginsberg, author of The New American Anti-Semitism interviewed on KMOX radio in St. Louis. Ginsberg discusses the current anti-semitism on college campuses.

High school graduates know little, he says, about American history.

Research Fellow Benjamin Ginsberg, author of The New American Anti-Semitism interviewed on The Drive with Trey Radel on WFSX radio (FL). College campuses are a toxic mix of no conservative or moderate faculty, naive and gullible students who can be convinced of just about anything, and the rise of administrators who are foolish and timid. Administrators are afraid to confront the left, Ginsberg says. This was made evident when the heads of Penn, Harvard and MIT testified in front of congress in December of 2023.

Naive children at college campuses are being indoctrinated by professional organizers, says Ginsberg, who provides historic examples of indoctrinating children.

Newly remastered in 2023.

At this sold-out 2018 Independent Institute event, Tucker Carlson discusses America's elites, a group whose power and wealth from government privilege have grown beyond imagination even as the rest of the country has floundered. The people who run America now barely interact with it, and in his #1 New York Times, best-selling book, Ship of Fools, Carlson offers a blistering critique of our new overlords. Traditional liberals who worried about whales and defended free speech have been replaced by authoritarians who hide their hard-edged agenda behind identity politics. They’ll fleece you while lecturing you about bathrooms, plastic straws, and safe spaces.

“Left and right,” Carlson says, “are no longer meaningful categories in America. The rift is between those who benefit from the status quo, and those who don’t.” Our leaders are fools, Carlson concludes, “unaware that they are captains of a sinking ship.” At this event, and in his signature fearless and witty style, he addresses the all-important question: How do we put the country back on course?
