I am delighted to bring you the great Theodore Dalrymple, author of many wonderful books including "Life at the Bottom."

This week, I touch on events of the week before moving on to the major topic:  Are we in the sixth mass extinction in the known history of the world?

This week, renowned author Heather Mac Donald joins the podcast to my great delight.  She discusses with me issues involving policing, racial profiling, and prison sentencing.  Buy her book if you want to learn more about her data-driven, hard-headed approach to some of the most divisive issues of our time.  It is called The War on Cops; How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe.

This week, I discuss "tough love," the idea that jobs are going away to never be replaced, and a truly amazing clip from the year 2000.  I wrap up discussing Heather MacDonald's "The War on Cops."

I discuss a section of Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point:  That discussing the famous murder of Kitty Genovese and the consequent studies surrounding the Bystander Effect.

This week, I talk to man of the left Howie Adelman.

We discuss the questions:  

Are Trump voters emotional?  

Should the left stand up for the First Amendment?
