The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | What Cal Thomas Witnessed as a ‘Watchman’ in 50 Years of Reporting on America

Marking 50 years as a journalist and commentator, popular syndicated columnist Cal Thomas says America’s future is closely tied to the education of our children. 


“My hope, again, goes back to educating our children and grandchildren in ways that our parents and grandparents educated us,” Thomas says. "And if you don't rescue the next generation, you're not going to have much of a country anymore.” 


Born in the District of Columbia, Thomas began his career at age 16 working as a disc jockey at a radio station in suburban Maryland. He later landed a job as a copy boy at NBC News' Washington bureau and became a reporter. He began to write a column in 1984.


Today, Thomas is one of America’s best-known and most popular syndicated columnists, despite being a conservative. A longtime fixture on Fox News Channel, he is the author of 14 books, including “A Watchman in the Night: What I’ve Seen Over 50 Years Reporting on America,” which is just out. 


Thomas joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the changes he has witnessed in America over 50 years and what he foresees the future may hold for the nation.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Why Richard Glossip Has Escaped Execution Nine Times

Richard Glossip has been on death row for 26 years and stared down nine execution dates. The 1997 killing that sent him to death row has been investigated numerous times and the actual killer—who brutally bludgeoned a motel owner with a baseball bat—has even sought to recant his testimony against Glossip. Over the decades, anti-death penalty activists and a growing number of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have spoken out to save Richard Glossip. But now his case is in the Supreme Court’s hands.


Guests: 

Liliana Segura, investigative journalist at The Intercept focused on prisons and harsh sentencing.


Mark Joseph Stern, Slate senior writer covering courts and the law.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Soil’ weaves together a poet’s experience of gardening, race and community

For poet Camille Dungy, environmental justice, community interdependence and political engagement go hand in hand. She explores those relationships in her new book, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden. In it, she details how her experience trying to diversify the species growing in her yard, in a predominantly white town in Colorado, reflects larger themes of how we talk about land and race in the U.S. In today's episode, she tells NPR's Melissa Block about the journey that gardening put her on, and what it's revealed about who gets to write about the environment.
