Summary
<p>Why is the modern left so profoundly insane and mentally unstable? The Claremont Institute's Glenn Ellmers has a new book arguing that it's rooted in a critical contradiction at the core of leftist thought. On the one hand, liberals revere "experts" who claim to possess special knowledge and elite credentials...but on the other hand, the left adheres to impenetrable postmodern nonsense which rejects the entire idea of factual truth. Glenn and Charlie have a far-ranging philosophical conversation that goes all the way back to Plato, and even makes the unlikely case that conservatives have something to learn from Michel Foucault.</p><p><a href="http://www.charliekirk.com/support" rel="payment">Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
