Jesse, Grayson & Mike begin their new retrospective series on the movies of conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza with his debut film, 2016: Obama's America. Based on his book The Roots of Obama's Rage, the 2016 overcame poor critical reception to be a box office hit, at the time being the second highest grossing political documentary in the United States since 1982. Were critics unreasonably harsh on D'Souza, or was his film really just a partisan hit piece for the right-wing?
Think Outside Politics' Anthony Leonardi's interviews Dinesh D'Souza, the creator of the documentary 2016: Obama's America and a New York Times Bestselling author. We discuss Dinesh's recent book "The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left," the advent of the Intellectual Dark Web, and the US's new embassy in Jerusalem.
On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck and Mark are joined by Dinesh D'Souza, a bestselling author and filmmaker who regularly exposes the lies of the progressive movement that is the Democratic Party. Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Dinesh D'Souza released the film Hillary's America, and he has recently released Death of a Nation. D'Souza explains how his film reveals the truth on many of the threats we face today in America. Chuck and Mark bring up some critical current issues, and Dinesh offers detailed insights that proves why the left sees him as a threat to their agenda. He also mixes in some details of his film, Death of a Nation, with his explanations. Chuck and Mark continue by asking question about a few topics that D'Souza has personal experience with. This includes the questions about President Trump's campaign finances, progressive strongholds on college campuses and the Democrats forcing racial issues on society. They wrap up the show by discussing the importance of Death of a Nation and what he hopes people will take away from it. Chuck and Mark ask what the film will mean for our nation's prosperity. D'Souza says the film will be out before the midterms; if people take the time to watch it, then it could have a great impact on the elections. More about Dinesh D'Souza: Dinesh D'Souza is a bestselling author and filmmaker. His films, 2016: Obama's America and America: Imagine A World Without Her, are respectively the #2 and #6 highest political documentaries of all time. D'Souza's latest feature-length film, Hillary's America, is widely credited with contributing to Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016, and quickly joined his first two films in the top 10 political documentaries of all time. D'Souza's latest film, Death of a Nation, builds on this success and takes on progressive big lies, finally proving once and for all that the real party of fascism and racism is now and has always been the Democratic Party. Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh has truly lived the American Dream. He moved to the United States to attend school on a Rotary Scholarship. Following graduation from Dartmouth College, he went on to work in the Reagan White House as a policy analyst. D'Souza has served as the John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at Stanford University. D'Souza served as president of The King's College in New York City from 2010 to 2012. D'Souza has won numerous awards including "Best Documentary" for America (The Dove Foundation), and he has been called one of the "top young public-policy makers in the country" by Investor's Business Daily. As the author of over 15 nationally renowned books—many of them #1 New York Times bestsellers—D'Souza has been invited to speak to groups all over the country on politics, philosophy, and Christianity. His razor-sharp wit and entertaining style have allowed him to participate in highly-publicized debates about politics and Christianity with some of the most famous atheists and leftists of our time, including Christopher Hitchens, Bill Ayers, and others. One of D'Souza's favorite venues for debates and speeches has always been college campuses. During the past 25 years, he has appeared at hundreds of colleges and universities and spoken with hundreds of thousands of students in these live settings. D'Souza has been named one of America's most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation's 500 leading authorities on international issues, and Newsweek cited him as one of the country's most prominent Asian-Americans. D'Souza's articles have appeared in virtually every major magazine and newspaper, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, New Republic, Forbes, and National Review.

Optimism at All Costs: Black Attitudes, Activism, and Advancement in Obama's America (University of Massachusetts Press, 2018) takes as its point of departure and central preoccupation the notion of “paradoxical ebullience,” by which author Lessie B. Branch means the optimism expressed by African Americans during the presidency of Barack Obama despite a lack of socioeconomic gains (and some notable reversals) during the same period. Branch's argument around what she considers unwarranted optimism is premised on the idea that during the Obama era, African Americans bought into an elite discourse that was a departure from the discursive norms of the 20th-century Civil Rights movement, and whose leaders discouraged optimism. Both Branch and leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. see outsized optimism as undermining the collective action necessary for meaningful social change.

There is no question that the idea of race has been a powerful driving force in American history since colonial times, but what exactly is race? How did it become the basis for the institution of slavery and the uneven power structure that in some ways still exists? How has the idea of what constitutes race changed over time, and how have whites, blacks (and others) adapted and reacted to such fluid definitions? Guest Jacqueline Jones, one of the foremost experts on the history of racial history in the United States, helps us understand race and race relations by exposing some of its astonishing paradoxes from the earliest day to Obama's America.
Prof Iwan Morgan, Professor of United States Studies, UCL Institute of the Americas Barack Obama won a second term as US president with the support of women, the young, blue collars, African Americans and Latinos. The Republicans, in contrast, retained the support of their habitual white base that is mainly middle aged and older and largely Protestant, in essence representing America's demographic past. The United States remains a politically polarized nation. The Republican party's control of the House of Representatives still enables it to block many of the president's initiatives and as a consequence, Prof Iwan will argue that it is difficult to see the United States making great progress in the next four years towards solving its fiscal and debt problems, tackling climate change, and renewing a schools system on which the nation depends for its future human capital. - UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities.

Usually on Blast The Right you hear me condemn right-wing ideology and policies. Not only the theory, but the negative effect of right-wing rule on flesh-and-blood humans.Then the idea is, you use the information to win the water cooler wars, to "blast the right."With just about a month to go before the election, arguing with right-wingers isn't the most productive use of your time now, I don't
