Christian college professors Matt Parks and David Corbin explore the ideas behind today's headlines.
Part 1: Headlines - Reflections on this week's hyper-partisan lockdown/reopen debate featuring the (surprisingly?) good news out of Florida.
Part 2: Required Reading - Prof. Corbin assigns Book III of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War to help us understand the deep political divisions of our time.
Part 3: Open the Grade Book - Grading 2020 presidential campaign slogans: Trump, Biden, Sanders, Warren, and more.
Part 4: Tocqueville's Crystal Ball - It's not easy to find live sports to talk about these days, but we make our picks in the Champions for Charity golf match: Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning or Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady? Sent us your own pick at: democracyinamericatoday@gmail.com. If you "beat the professors," you'll be entered in a drawing for a free copy of our book.
