In this episode of the National Roundtable Podcast the guys discuss the Ukraine war in the context of "freedom." The Ukrainian Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir (both former heavyweight boxing champions) say they are staying to fight for their freedom. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky (virtually) addressed the U.S. Congress Wednesday as he stays to fight for Ukraine's freedom. What is the value of "freedom" in light of today's Progressive Left that seemingly values security over freedom. Polls consistently show young Democrats today prefer Socialism over Capitalism, COVID controls over liberty, etc. Would today's American Progressives consider "freedom" important enough to fight for it? Or would they be content with Putin's Communism with the government taking care of their basic needs, such as food, shelter and healthcare? A recent Quinnipiac Poll asked Americans if the U.S. were invaded, similarly to Ukraine, would you stay or flee? Most Republicans said they would fight over flee (68% to 25%). Most Independents would also fight over flee (57% to 36%), however, most Democrats said they would flee over fight (52% to 40%). What is "freedom?" How do we define it? From where does it come? And is the new generation of Progressives losing a passion for it?
