My guest this week is author and former professor, Dr. Michael Rectenwald. Dr. Rectenwald is here to discuss the themes of his latest book, "Beyond Woke". He has a wild story in that he is a former Marxist who saw the light, walked away from the progressive left, and is now a paleo-libertarian. We discuss the origins of Woke culture and its religious foundations. We also get into how to fix the university system (or not) and the endgame that the Woke Left strive for. (Hint: It's getting rid of you and your beliefs.) We also get into the problems with the Libertarian Party kowtowing to a group like BLM.
