David Limbaugh on New Left: Americans Must Resist the ‘Tyrannical Bullying’ Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

Identity politics and group mentality is driving the left today, says David Limabugh, author of the new book, “Guilty By Reason of Insanity.”

“You can’t watch an award show without these people obsessing on race, gender, sexual orientation,” Limbaugh says. “That’s all they care about. And that they even wrap that into their Marxist economic idea that it’s all related to oppression and oppressed and oppressor and victim and victimizer. It’s really a negative, sad way to look at the world. And yet that is what drives leftism today.”

We also cover the following stories:

· President Trump has pardoned this year’s turkeys.

· A new study shows a surprising numbers of deaths among Americans aged 25 to 64.
