Chris Scalia on His Father, Family, Literature, and Issues in Academia




The Federalist Radio Hour show

Summary: Christopher Scalia, the son of Justice Antonin Scalia, is also a writer and former professor. He joins the Federalist Radio Hour to share stories of his father, to discuss growing issues in academia, and to think about literature that can help us understand the world we live in. Scalia tells stories from his childhood and his fathers approach to family and faith. I dont remember him ever sitting me down and saying This is what my faith means to me. He didnt have to. It was obvious. A novel that explains our political landscape is not Orwells 1984, but Scoop by Evelyn Waugh. The term fake news isnt used, but its kind of throughout the novel, Scalia said. The reporters in this novel have an agenda to push and they will push it whatever the cost. andnbsp;
