Seth Barron On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this  Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!  We’re joined by Seth Barron to discuss his book Weaponized: The Left’s Capture and Destruction of America’s Sacred Institutions to talk about the centralization of power and the erosion of local control. Barron explains his view that decision-making authority has increasingly shifted away from communities and into the hands of unelected “expert” classes, affecting areas like immigration, housing, policing, and education. He argues this trend diminishes accountability and weakens traditional American civic structures. The conversation also explores how definitions of public safety have evolved, with critics claiming this reframing sidelines law enforcement while excusing criminal behavior. Barron points to education as a key battleground but notes that alternatives such as charter schools, private institutions, and homeschooling still provide families with options. He frames these choices as critical to preserving autonomy amid broader institutional changes. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!
