CTP (S2E96) Mobocracy vs. Republic: The Battle Reagan Warned Us About
Joseph M. Lenard discusses his book "Constitutionalist Politics II" in an interview with Don McCauley of The Authors Show, exploring America's founding principles and why they remain crucial today. The conversation examines our republic's Judeo-Christian foundations and the dangers of drifting toward what Lenard terms "MOBocracy," "INEPTocracy," and "CLEPTocracy."
