Ben Weingarten Guest-Hosts ‘The Wilkow Majority’ on Sirius XM: Corruption of Education by Progressives with Heather Mac Donald, Trump’s Policy on Syria and Iran with Tony Badran and Khashoggi, Immigration Partial Shutdown and the GOP with Deroy Murdock

On December 26, my friend Andrew Wilkow gave me the opportunity to guest-host his “The Wilkow Majority” on Sirius XM.

During the episode, I talked everything from American exceptionalism and the progressives’ brazen effort to propagandize beginning with toddlers to undermine it — and the corruption of education generally — with Manhattan Institute Thomas W. Smith fellow Heather Mac Donald; the Syria troop pullout, Lebanon, Iran and the U.S. national interest with Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) scholar Tony Badran; the Khashoggi Caper and a preview of politics running into 2020 with National Review’s Deroy Murdock.

Mac Donald, the archetype of an unassuming academic, makes for an unlikely counter-cultural figure. She draws protests and outrage on college campuses across the country because she has the gall to challenge the prevailing progressive orthodoxy about subjects like identity politics, multiculturalism and criminal justice.
