LAL Live Part 2: Mike Cernovich + America's Identitarian Turn (NPS May 19)

Norm is joined in the second hour by long-time friend, colleague, lawyer, writer, documentarian, and American cultural commentator, Mike Cernovich.  Norm and Mike begin with the origin of their relationship, the impact of trial law juggernaut, Gerry Spence, on Mike's early legal career, psychodramatic persuasion techniques as a way of understanding the world better, and even a brief hommage to the late F. Lee Bailey. Norm and Mike then take a call from David Sullivan, formerly of the U.S. Attorney's Office and one of Norm's lifelong friends.  Norm and Mike catch stride as Norm queries the narrative being written of Mike by establishment media, which tends to create a brand around movements and then define the character of those movements by the lowest common denominators of those movements.  Mike discusses his increasing appetite for politics, how he defines his own political evolution out of what he refers to as the "old school civil libertarian", and how writing afforded the influence and freedom necessary to pivot away from the daily grind of legal practice. Norm and Mike continue apace with a review Mike's influence on the 2016 election, his view of Hillary Clinton as an existential threat to American freedom, and emerging populist influence of the New American Right.  Mike's most popular book is "Gorilla Mindset," his most popular documentary is "Hoaxed", and he dominates Twitter @Cernovich.  Like, share, and subscribe!
