On the Friday video edition of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast, we talk with author Kurt Schlichter about his upcoming book, “Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy.”

How did a New York billionaire manage to connect to blue collar workers from coast to coast, winning their votes and loyalties? Kurt, a retired colonel in the Army and the Army National Guard and the author several novels, dug into the places mainstream journalists wouldn’t go and answers the questions it never occurred to them to ask to find out how a large swath of the normal American public rewrote the political playbook.
