Trump's Deregulation Boosts Economy: Hugh Hewitt with Gene Scalia

It’s commencement season again—another class of young Americans heading out into the world. But one statistic says a lot about what they’re leaving behind: at top universities this year, left-wing speakers outnumber others six to one on commencement stages.

That lack of viewpoint diversity point to something deeper: An intellectual climate marked by intolerance and conformity, not curiosity and debate.

There was a time when a college degree signaled that a student had learned how to think—and had encountered the ideas that shaped the Western tradition. Today, that’s no longer a safe assumption.

Too often, higher education has become dominated by a narrow ideological framework, with too few faculty willing—or able—to model real intellectual rigor.

The result is predictable: universities that once fostered inquiry now too often enforce orthodoxy.

That’s not education. It’s indoctrination.

Carol Platt Liebau: Depriving Our Students of the Diversity That Matters

As we watch the president navigate the ongoing interactions with the remaining leadership in Iran, it’s worth reminding ourselves: President Trump has done hundreds of deals. He also walked away from probably three times as many deals.

The thousands of commentators with little to zero knowledge of negotiations are just guessing.

Here’s what we know:

First: President Trump has the crucial experience, and:

Second: the D Team in Iran doesn’t.

No president in 47 years has dealt Iran blows like this. President Trump isn’t going to trade massive leverage for the approval of states that aren’t our allies.

President Trump is very good at the close. He's not going to get taken. He's walked away from a lot of tables. If it's a bad deal or the Iranians do the bait and switch deal, he will walk away again and I hope combat would resume. But right now, we just don't know.

 

I just don't think the president is going to get fooled.

Hugh Hewitt: Trusting Trump

In 1976, Harry Jaffa wrote that in 1776 the United States was nothing, promising to become everything; and having become everything it was promising to become nothing.  This is truer now, on our 250th anniversary, than 50 years ago.

The state of our students’ civic understanding is abominable: we are at a record low of students knowing the basic fundaments of our constitutional and political formation and makeup.  This directly results from a deliberate mis-educating of our youth: an education system that teaches that America is a blight rather than a blessing on and to the world and its citizens. Who would want to study, much less venerate, that kind of country?

C.S. Lewis wrote; to miseducate a child is to leave him more susceptible to propaganda as an adult. Thus, I give you our disaffected young adults: alienated from America and her successes; young adults susceptible to carnival barking podcasters promoting a down-market view of patriotism and America.  What a shame at such a time as this.  We must take back our schools.
