Show 2021-01 Segment 1 A Latino Museum, Identity Politics, Culture, And Big Government's Spending

Episode Summary

Mike Gonzalez from the Heritage Foundation discusses both the recently-passed federal spending bill (specifically, the non-transparent way it was approved) and one of the spending projects it includes: a Museum of the American Latino. Gonzalez, a Cuban-American immigrant, argues that the project is divisive and part of “identity politics” in American. Gonzalez’s new book, The Plot To Change America, is a critique of identity politics.
