Time to Scrap Cancel Culture
Twenty-three-year-old Rikki Schlott self-censored her views in college because of her right-leaning libertarian views. She says at New York University (NYU), it was scary to express herself.
“I was afraid to have Thomas Sowell books on my bookshelf,” Schlott tells John Stossel. She kept her mouth shut and eventually dropped out of NYU because she found it stifling. But now, Schlott is fighting back in her new book, Cancelling of the American Mind. More with Stossel and Schlott.
Thomas Sowell On Woke Origins
Listen as Thomas Sowell, in a 1995 interview, provides an uncanny analysis on the origins of woke culture. The 92-year-old Sowell is an American economist and social commentator who serves as a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative public policy think tank. Sowell is interviewed by Roger Ailes, the late, great CEO of Fox News who would have a cow if he saw what Rupert Murdoch and his wretched sons have done with that once formidable network.
Steve Turley shares their interview as well as his own thoughts on what is means in a new world that is turning more feudal by the day.
Escaping Antifa
Gabriel Nadales was an angry, bitter and unhappy young man—the perfect recruit for Antifa, the violent left-wing group which claims to fight against fascism. He says his beef was against the greedy, heartless power structure that didn’t care about him or society’s innocent victims and which had robbed, beaten and stolen from his ancestors.
Nadales explains that Antifa stands for antifascist, but the name is purposely deceptive. It is calibrated so that anyone who dares to criticize the group or its tactics can in turn can be labeled fascist. Their mantra: to blast the establishment, taunt police and destroy property.
But something powerful clicked within Nadales. He says, “Joining Antifa was the worst decision of my life.” So how did he escape? He says he encountered something good, friends who pointed him to the logic of Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell and Ben Shapiro. “What they said just made sense and offered me a better way to live.” He added that Antifa just cared about control and only offered him more anger and bitterness. Here’s the rest of Nadales’ story on PragerU.

Have You Ever Wondered Why?
As you span the world, you’ll find third-world countries ruled by tyrants and despots, their nations wreaking in poverty and squalor. Have you ever wondered why you don’t see this in America? “America is the exception, not the rule,” writes Thomas Sowell in his book, The Thomas Sowell Reader. “Most Americans take our values, traditions and institutions so much for granted, that they find it hard to realize how much these things are under constant attack in our schools, our colleges and in much of the press, the movies and literature.” Narrator Robinson Neal expresses more of Sowell’s thoughts in this edition of Liberty Pen.

Blame the Grievance Industry
Whether it’s Black Lives Matter directing its hatred at law enforcement or the Reverend Al Sharpton spewing vitriol, our disadvantaged neighborhoods continue to wallow in the self-pity and victimization culture that has swallowed up these communities. Celebrated economist, social theorist and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, Professor Thomas Sowell, blames this very grievance industry for promoting the prevalent self-defeating welfare state vision. Sowell explains in this interview with host Peter Robinson on Liberty Pen’s “Uncommon Knowledge.”
