The Daily Signal's White House correspondent, Fred Lucas, had a front row seat to the impeachment of President Donald Trump, an impeachment that Lucas says began even before Trump took office. 

Lucas’ newly released book, “Abuse of Power: Inside the Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump,” dives deep into the left's plot to remove the president from office and the key players involved in the partisan effort. 

Lucas joins the podcast to discuss his book and how the American people should view Trump’s impeachment.

It’s not just statues and American history that are under attack. The most essential ideas from America’s founding are under siege and on trial.

Robert R. Reilly, the director of the Westminster Institute and widely published author, joined “The Right Side of History” podcast to discuss his new book “America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding.”

Reilly discusses the deeper origins of the American Revolution—rooted in Western thought, philosophy, and religion—and explains why America’s current success and survival depends on embracing those ideas rather than abandoning them.
