The Tudor Dixon Podcast: AOC, Newsom & Hillary’s Biggest Political Meltdowns

Gavin Newsom mentioned he wrote a book, but the speaker suggested it only covered one side of his life, omitting details about his wealthy father funding his early ventures.

He's written a book. And I think it's like the book is telling one side of his life. Like, I lived with this mom who didn't have a lot of money. Don't mention that his dad was super rich and gave him all kinds of safaris to Africa and money to start a business.

My goodness, her tiny book filled with debauchery and curse words was launching the very next day and she wanted to keep the focus on her.

Was she hiding from the shooting for fear that would mess up her book sales? Maybe it would make her look bad.

She's very hip and cool, but she's not concerned with the safety of the people in Detroit, which probably should be where her mind is.

She seems to have been unmoved by these two deaths and 19 injuries. You could say she was preoccupied with the release of her new book and travel since she would spend the next week touring the country, giggling through interviews ranging from CNN to The View to late night with Stephen Colbert.

And today we have Katie Gorka with us who is going to explain because she is the co-author of a new book called Next Gen Marxism, what it is and how to combat it.

When Mike and I, my co-author and I talked about what do we call the book? What do we call the problem? Right.

And I think there was maybe initially some hesitation to use the word Marxism, because I worry that it's almost like the word communism, like it's it's overused. Do people really get what it is?

But really importantly, we focus on what happened in particular in the 60s, right?

One of the things that Mike found, and it's a whole chapter in the book called In the Belly of the Beast is he really traced the roots of collaboration between European Marxists and Latin American, South American Marxists, how they started to work together.
