Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by noted humorist and comedy legend P.J. O’Rourke to discuss his new book, “A Cry from the Far Middle: Dispatches from a Divided Land.” They discuss what he means by the “far middle,” how we got to our present situation of deep political polarization, how social media is a primary cause of that polarization, why P.J. loves traffic jams, and kids love for socialism. Tim also gets in some National Lampoon fanboy time at the end.
