John Loeffler: May 14, 2018
Is it possible to have a newsworthy protest without violence and the shouting down of opponents? In this week's boralogue, John looks at a protest in Sacramento earlier this month where thousands of people rallied against a bill that would have hindered homeschool parents' ability to teach their children. The protest was peaceful and stood in stark contrast to the violence of Antifa rallies. But unlike with Antifa, there was a virtual media blackout in Sacramento.
Plus, in our clip of the week, John analyzes President Trump's remarks ending the so-called Iran Deal and the aftermath of those comments.
Leading up to President Trump's decision to pull out of the Iran Deal, Israel pulled off a massive coup in Tehran. Ken Timmerman (www.iran.org), President and CEO of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, looks at Mossad's operation to steal thousands of documents proving Iran's nuclear program is still active and discusses President Trump's battle with globalist elites.
Continuing our series on the heckler's veto, we welcome Chris Gaubatz who examines free speech versus sharia law and how civilization jihad is happening all around us while most of us are unaware of its existence.
Revenue to the government may be up, but spending is out of control. Steve Levine (www.axios.com), Future Editor at online newsmagazine Axios, shows how millenials will be paying long into the future for the economic misdeeds of today. If we're going to solve the problem, we need to start talking about possible solutions as soon as possible.
Finally, we welcome Tammi Rossman-Benjamin (www.amchainitiative.org), Director of the AMCHA Initiative, who analyzes anti-Semitism on college campuses and points out the hypocrisy of people who praise tolerance and decry hatred, but who are nothing but intolerant and hateful.
John’s quote of the week:
"Which group of people would you rather listen to: those who can present rational, quiet arguments for their position in a respectful way, or those who shout down with irrationality and unreason anyone who opposes them, chanting cheap clichés which say absolutely nothing? If you're a sane person, the answer is pretty simple."
