On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck and Mark are joined by Dinesh D’Souza, a bestselling author and filmmaker who regularly exposes the lies of the progressive movement that is the Democratic Party. Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Dinesh D’Souza released the film Hillary’s America, and he has recently released Death of a Nation. D’Souza explains how his film reveals the truth on many of the threats we face today in America.

They wrap up the show by discussing the importance of Death of a Nation and what he hopes people will take away from it. Chuck and Mark ask what the film will mean for our nation’s prosperity. D’Souza says the film will be out before the midterms; if people take the time to watch it, then it could have a great impact on the elections. More about Dinesh D’Souza: Dinesh D’Souza is a bestselling author and filmmaker. His films, 2016: Obama’s America and America: Imagine A World Without Her, are respectively the #2 and #6 highest political documentaries of all time.

D’Souza’s latest film, Death of a Nation, builds on this success and takes on progressive big lies, finally proving once and for all that the real party of fascism and racism is now and has always been the Democratic Party. Born in Mumbai, India, Dinesh has truly lived the American Dream. He moved to the United States to attend school on a Rotary Scholarship. Following graduation from Dartmouth College, he went on to work in the Reagan White House as a policy analyst. D’Souza has served as the John M.

As the author of over 15 nationally renowned books—many of them #1 New York Times bestsellers—D’Souza has been invited to speak to groups all over the country on politics, philosophy, and Christianity. His razor-sharp wit and entertaining style have allowed him to participate in highly-publicized debates about politics and Christianity with some of the most famous atheists and leftists of our time, including Christopher Hitchens, Bill Ayers, and others. One of D’Souza’s favorite venues for debates and speeches has always been college campuses. During the past 25 years, he has appeared at hundreds of colleges and universities and spoken with hundreds of thousands of students in these live settings. D’Souza has been named one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine.
