Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

In his Politico op-ed, “How the NFL Lost to Trump”, National Review editor Rich Lowry details how President Trump’s surprisingly shrewd grasp of cultural battles allowed him to outmaneuver NFL coaches, players and owners in the national debate that exploded around Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem. “Donald Trump doesn't play three-dimensional chess, as his supporters insist,” Lowry wrote. “Sometimes, even the rules of checkers seem to elude him. But he has an instinctive cunning and a grasp of a nationalistic cultural politics that shouldn't be underestimated by his opponents, even though it almost always is.” Lowry joins Michael Steele and Rick Ungar to discuss Trump’s victory and share his thoughts on the undercurrent of nationalism that he sees as integral to American conservatives. Michael and Rick also praise Senator John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) speech after he accepted the National Constitution Center's Liberty Medal.
