Morning After the Revolution, Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History by my wife, Nellie Bowles

I think one of the things that's really unique about this book is how vulnerable it is. I don't think you're going to find ... There's a lot of excellent reporting out there from a lot of our friends, Megan, on what's going on and how it all came to this. There's not a lot of voices out there who are like, I saw it from the inside. And in some ways, speaking for Nellie, I was swept along by it and here's what got me to wake up. And it's very, very vulnerable and true.

It's a good name. I hope you're right that the revolution has kind of closed to the point where we are the morning after.

Morning After the Revolution by Nellie Bowles and Nellie's wife, Barry Weiss is up next.

Megyn Kelly recommended this book by Andrew Sullivan which was about the radicalisation of the American elite against liberalism and the successor ideology that's taking over American liberalism.

"

And it's the piece called what happened to you by Andrew Sullivan. It's dated July 9th. It's on his sub stack. And it's, it's the subheading is the radicalization of the American elite against liberalism.

We are going through the greatest radicalization of the elites since the 1960s. This isn't coming from the ground up. It's being imposed ruthlessly from above marshaled with a fusillade of constant MSM propaganda.

And its victims are often the poor and the black and the Brown. It nearly lost the Democrats, the last election.

It is an ongoing moral panic against the specter of white supremacy, which is now bizarrely regarded as an accurate description of the largest freest, most successful multiracial democracy in human history.
