Why is it many grown men and women these days need to cower in safe zones or crying rooms when confronted with ideas contrary to their own? Remember when colleges were institutions of higher learning and discussion instead of the indoctrination centers many are today? Salem Radio Network host Dennis Prager and Comedian/Podcast host Adam Carolla joined forces to produce the new documentary “No Safe Spaces,” which is playing across America now. They and a cast of many delve into the root causes of the death of free speech on campuses, in the media and throughout public life in America. Dennis Prager talks about the documentary, how the First Amendment is under fire and the importance of the Marketplace of Ideas with Mike Connors on this week’s Ask the Lawyer.

There is much more to the trade talks and tariff battles between the U.S. and China than the media and both nations’ presidents have been telling us. What is at stake for both nations?

Lt. Joseph Petrosino, NYPD, made it his mission to take down the notorious extortion and crime ring known as “The Black Hand,” which infiltrated New York City’s immigrant communities and others across the nation, having roots within the Sicilian Mafia. After arresting some of the major organized crime figures of the 1890s and 1900s, Lt. Petrosino went undercover to Sicily to weed out major crime leaders there, only to be assassinated after then-NYPD Commissioner Theodore Bingham told the city press about the mission.

Author Stephen Talty chronicled Lt. Petrosino’s exploits, leadership, arrests and investigations in his 2017 book, “The Black Hand.” A movie based on the book has been commissioned, potentially to star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Why are so many self-proclaimed activists bent on taking down statues, banning books and eliminating the namesakes of our nation’s (and continent’s) founders? Might it be that people are increasingly ignorant of American history? If so, why?

Commentator and writer Jarrett Stepman says there is an all out assault on the history of our nation, what we have seen in the news is only on the surface and the movement needs to be challenged. Stepman goes in-depth on this in his new book, “The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America’s Past.” He joins Mike Connors on this week’s Ask the Lawyer.

On October 1, 2017, a gunman opened fire into a crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in #LasVegas leaving 58 people dead and 851 wounded. Working the late shift at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in the city that night was Dr. Kevin Menes, the Attending in charge of the Emergency Department at the time. With the mass influx of casualties, Dr. Menes took important measures to increase the efficiency of his Emergency Room and staff while tending to those suffering.

Since then, Dr. Menes designed a plan for Sunrise and other hospitals to prepare for any future tragedy involving mass casualties, which he teaches doctors at medical facilities across the nation. Dr. Menes discusses how to handle such an emergency and the events of that fateful night in Vegas with Mike Connors on this weekend’s Ask the Lawyer.

Also: for decades politicians running for office on both sides have campaigned to strengthen our nation’s #borders, yet done little. Now that President #Trump has worked to act on the situation, much of the Democrat party has been advocating not only to allow illegal immigrants into the U-S, but to open the borders altogether. Why the quick change from only a decade ago? Is there a well-funded concerted effort to try and open up U-S borders? Nationally-known commentator and columnist Michelle Malkin says “yes” in her new book, “Open Borders, Incorporated."

A theme park rivaling the size of Disneyland once stood in the Bronx: #Freedomland, USA. It featured attractions where visitors could enjoy carnival snacks while stepping back in time to Old Chicago, the early days of New York, 1906 post-earthquake San Francisco and other historical scenarios. Alas, it was doomed from the start as political interests and less customer traffic contributed to an abrupt end to Freedomland. Author Michael Virgintino looks back and reveals what re...ally happened to the amusement center where Co-Op City currently stands in his book, “Freedomland, USA: The Definitive History.” He talks with Mike Connors this weekend on Ask the Lawyer.

We all know Political Correctness and “Wokeness” has slithered into virtually every aspect of out culture with disastrous results, but perhaps the damage is particularly destructive to our military. From “Safe Space” rooms at the Naval Academy to presentations on Male Pregnancy to lowering physical standards at Rangers school and other Special Forces instruction units to ensure more gender-based participation numbers, retired U.S. Army Captain James Hasson reveals the devastating effects the Obama Administration’s “progressive” policies have had on the Armed Forces in his new book: “Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors are Sabotaging America’s Military.” Hasson also talks with Mike this week.

In the age of the easily-offended, why is it still acceptable for society to insult Catholics and the Church? Catholic-Bashing has been quite a popular M.O. for Hollywood writers, media pundits and some politicians in recent history. Discussing this with Mike Connors on this week’s Ask the Lawyer is #Crisis Magazine Editor-in-Chief Michael Warren Davis.

Davis also looks into the case of Cardinal George Pell of the Diocese of Melbourne, who the editor believes is being railro...aded in a case where the clergyman is accused of sexual abuse with, according to court papers, no forensic evidence. Is this another example of anti-Catholic bias or is justice being served?

Over 130 years before the O.J. Simpson #trial, another murder case was the talk of the nation: that of Rep. Daniel Sickles.

How was it that a man who shot and killed Philip Barton Key II, with whom his wife was having an affair, in broad daylight in front of several witnesses at Lafayette Square in 1859 got away with the crime?
