Aaron Perlut | "The Death of Compromise"

from Tell Me You’re Joking · host Tell Me You’re Joking | Gaslight Studio STL

Aaron is a true renaissance man... no, really.  Entrepreneur, husband, father, musician, songwriter, mustache grower, and author. He joined me to talk about his new book: The Death of Compromise: How an unquenchable thirst for power, racism and media has killed political and cultural compromise in America. (Amazon) We talk about the unfortunate inspiration for the piece (Charlie Kirk's murder), and the dots he connected looking backwards, talking to those who were part of the machine, and projecting forward into the "what if." We also discuss his other passion, music. Why being a middle-aged white guy that sings "dead country" songs has no hope, but loves it nevertheless.  Check out the featured music here on Spotify: Atomic Junction Surtsey #author #stlouis #politics #compromise #rushlimbaugh #newtgingrich #atomicjunction #countrymusic
