On the Friday video interview edition of the Daily Daily Caller Podcast we sit down with Christopher Scalia, son of late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to talk about his father, his life and legacy on the bench, and his faith. Christopher just released a new book of his father’s writings on the subject called, “On Faith: Lessons from an American Believer.” We also break down round two of the Democratic debate. We get into all the fireworks and all the crazy, and there was more of the latter than the former.

Listen to the whole show:

Watch the Daily Caller interview with Christopher Scalia:

Round two of the Democratic Party debates was more eventful than round one, and crazier. Every candidate pandered to a group of people who can’t vote (legally) in our elections – illegal aliens – promising to spend American taxpayer dollars to provide illegals “free” health care for simply entering the country. There is no country in the world where politicians running to lead it would pander to citizens of another country during their campaign. It’s a testament to the just how deep identity politics runs in the Democratic Party. We explain it all.

Joe Biden didn’t seem to be “all there,” while Bernie Sanders seemed to yell a lot, and Kamala Harris was declared the winner because of one exchange on race and bussing with the former Vice-President. But was the whole thing a set-up? Her campaign immediately tweeted a photo of her as a school girl, something that wouldn’t be just hanging around the office, and it seemed a little too prepared to be spontaneous. We play the audio and note how moderator Rachel Maddow told Harris she only had 30 seconds, then gave her several minutes, without interruption, in violation of debate rules.

Also on the stage were other Democrats who tried and failed to make an impression, unless that impression was just how crazy they are. “Spiritual guru” Marianne Williamson’s closing statement is one for the ages, and we play it for you.

Ever wonder what it’s like to be the child of a conservative hero? What it was like to be a kid and have your dad on the Supreme Court? Wonder no more, as we get the answers to those and many more questions from Christopher Scalia as we talk about his father’s life and faith, as exposed in the new book, “On Faith.” Coupled with a discussion of Christopher’s other book, “Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well Lived,” we get an intimate portrait of the man with one of the greatest legal minds in history.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
