Frank Turek on the War on Reality

Dr. Frank Turek joins the program to discuss his forthcoming book, The War on Reality, tracing the cultural assault on objective truth from postmodernism to cultural Marxism. Turek argues that categorizing people as oppressors or oppressed based on identity characteristics contradicts both biblical teaching and Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision, and he connects this worldview to the killing of Charlie Kirk, whose accused assassin, Turek says, viewed Kirk as an oppressor. The hosts also address the death of music and entertainment icon Dolly Parton at age 80, noting her philanthropic legacy, including the Imagination Library, and observing that she largely kept her political views private during her decades-long career. In political news, the program covers Darlene Graham's Republican primary victory in South Carolina's Senate race following the death of her brother Lindsey Graham, the escalating trade dispute between the United States and Canada over tariffs and protectionism, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unexplained visit to Moscow amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
