FLASHBACK: Balancing Faith & Reason w/ Matt Fradd

In a world split between noble Lions and destructive Scavengers, only the brave can lead the way. Ben Shapiro emphasizes that in a free country, inequality is rooted in differences of talent and work ethic—not oppression—and that the best solution to lack of success lies in duty and virtue. Lions and Scavengers is a gripping exploration of the ongoing war between those who cherish our nation and those who seek to undermine it. It's time to fight back. Enjoy this sneak peak of Chapter 2.
