On this week’s episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s
David Frum opens with his reaction to the recent ICE shooting in
Maine. Then, David is joined by Maya MacGuineas, president of the
Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, to discuss the future
of Social Security, the mounting national debt, and the political
dysfunction preventing Washington from confronting America’s fiscal
challenges. Finally, in honor of Bastille Day, David ends the
episode with a discussion of Hilary Mantel’s novel “A Place of
Greater Safety” and the lessons one can learn from the terror of
the French Revolution. Sign up for David Frum’s newsletter alert.
