Friday's edition will dive into the engineering mysteries of the Sept. 11 incident. How, exactly, was an airliner striking a 110 floor building near the top able to make the whole building collapse in 11 seconds? My guest is Roland Angle, chairman of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. I will also tell the story of my visit to Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY.
On Friday's program, I dive into the issue of "woke" and all of its derivatives. This latest wave began in the 1980s and 1990s as "political correctness," but under digital conditions it has picked up hyperbolic momentum. I will discus the writing and ideas of John McWhorter and apply my analysis to race, gender and sexual orientation.
