About this listen
Life-long liberal Kirsten Powers blasts the Left's forced march towards conformity in an exposé of the illiberal war on free speech. No longer champions of tolerance and free speech, the "illiberal Left" now viciously attacks and silences anyone with alternative points of view. Powers asks, "Whatever happened to free speech in America?"

An international conspiracy among powerful bankers, business leaders, and government officials; closed-door meetings in the Swiss Alps; and calls for a radical transformation of every society on earth - the Great Reset sounds like it is one henchman-with-an-eyepatch away from being the plot for the next James Bond movie. But The Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics.

Story5 out of 5 stars 183
Critical race theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, critical race theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, critical race theory is race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it.

Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups. Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Does your local museum employ too many White women? It’s racist, too. After the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, prestigious American institutions, from the medical profession to the fine arts, pleaded guilty to “systemic racism”.

In 1955 the killers of Emmett Till, a black Mississippi youth, were acquitted because they were white. Forty years later, despite the strong DNA evidence against him, accused murderer O. J. Simpson went free after his attorney portrayed him as a victim of racism. The age of white supremacy has given way to an age of white guilt—and neither has been good for African Americans. Through articulate analysis and engrossing recollections, acclaimed race relations scholar Shelby Steele sounds a powerful call for a new culture of personal responsibility.

Story5 out of 5 stars 408
Gender identity ideology is about more than Twitter storms and using the right pronouns. In just 10 years, laws, company policies, school and university curricula, sport, medical protocols, and the media have been reshaped to privilege self-declared gender identity over biological sex. People are being shamed and silenced for attempting to understand the consequences of redefining "man" and "woman". While compassion for transgender lives is well-intentioned, it is stifling much-needed inquiry into the significance of our bodies.

We have reached a state of utter absurdity, where journalism schools teach students that their own personal truth or chosen narratives matter more than reality. In Slanted, Attkisson digs into the language of propagandists, the persistence of false media narratives, the driving forces behind today's dangerous blend of facts and opinion, the abandonment of journalism ethics, and the new, Orwellian definition of what it means to report the news.

Hardship is now equated with victimhood. Outward displays of vulnerability in defeat are celebrated over winning unabashedly. The pursuit of excellence and exceptionalism are at the heart of American identity, and the disappearance of these ideals in our country leaves a deep moral and cultural vacuum in its wake. But the solution isn’t to simply complain about it. It’s to revive a new cultural movement in America that puts excellence first again.

As a young man, Vince Ellison began his career in the belly of the beast—as a prison guard working in the worst cellblock imaginable. And it was to his dismay and sadness that he has seen that same evil later in life. This time, not in the faces of incarcerated criminals, but rather in the eyes of the leaders of the Democratic party. In this persuasive work, Vince marshals his own experience and couples it with a learned and original analysis to conclude that the leaders of America's "progressive" party aren't just wrong on their policy stances—they are deliberately destructive.

According to the establishment media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing authoritarianism. We’ve heard that some 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their midst, creating a grave danger for the republic.

Most Americans do not understand the real threat that the “transgender” agenda, or the so-called “gender identity” movement, poses to all of us—especially women and girls—nor do they understand the extent to which it is taking over US law and civil society. The simple truth is that “gender identity” functions to abolish sex, and all of our civic institutions—government, media, academia, and business—have been completely captured by it.

Ben Shapiro uncovers the simple strategy used by liberals and their friends in the media: bully the living hell out of conservatives. Play the race card, the class card, the sexism card. Use any and every means at your disposal to demonize your opposition - to shut them up. Then pretend that such bullying is justified because, after all, conservatives are the true bullies and need to be taught a lesson for their intolerance.

Well done
The book is right on the money. Good research well thought though and well told. This is a truth we all know but is not spoken by most in the media. Kirsten is fast becoming my favorite journalist. I recommend this book.

Reminds of Ann Coulter
That may not be fair, though like Ms. Coulter , Ms. Powers cites a string of facts the Il-Liberal Left cannot dispute . And, she demonstrates their heartlessness by simply quoting them. 😀
All in all, I found it a very good read , though for those of us who have paid attention, she just reinforces what we already know about the Il-Liberal Left.
I'd recommend it.

Great listen for all, regardless of your politics!
What did you love best about The Silencing?
Being a life long liberal gives Kirsten Powers a unique position when it comes to the activities to squelch free speech of the left. She supports her points with facts and logic that are not shrouded with any of her own political bias's.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Silencing?
Her outlining the attacks by the left on Fax News and the facts she present that dissect the attacks as baseless. While no news organization is perfect when you take time to watch the various networks operate, listen to their on-air personalities her points really clarify the nasty nature of the left's anti-Fox operations.
What does Kristin Watson Heintz bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is an outstanding narrator with a delivery that aligned well with the book's topic.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It was a great listen all around. Have recommended to several people with all kinds of political stripes!
Any additional comments?
Over the years I have read or watched Kirsten Powers numerous times. While I do not closely align with her politics I will always take the time to absorb her message and the logic she had used to from her thoughts. She is a consummate professional who conducts herself from facts, logic and the ability to look, listen and lear from others. "The Silencing" is a perfect example of how opinion columnist, news personalities and other who are within the media should operate with: facts, logic and respect for those who you may differ with.

An Intellectually Honest Book
Highly recommended. Kirsten Powers is a too rare example of an open-minded liberal Democrat. Accordingly, "The Silencing" provides a stark, but honest, look at 'ill-liberals' real-life attempts to intimidate and silence legitimate opposing views and supportive evidence. Any flaws I found in the book are merely stylistic and, therefore, not worthy of further discussion here.
In my judgment, taking Power's book to heart would enable liberals to be heard, accepted, and appreciated by any reasonable conservative, let alone any moderate.

The Politics of Thoughtcrime
I enjoyed this book. I'd have rated it a 3.8 were the option available.
This book, as the title implies, is concerned with recent attempts by the political left to limit or discredit some opposing views. Powers mostly details events from the past half-decade, but does touch on some earlier episodes where individuals were shamed into silence or forced from their careers. The author presents a compelling, but by no-means even-handed, argument, which resonate with free-speech proponents.
I think the books suffers some from a lack of just a few counter-examples of rightist censoriousness. And yes, this book is about the silencing of free speech by the left, and as such I wouldn't expect the author to give anything close to equal time for the right, but I think that sprinkling a few examples of conservative lockstep-think throughout the chapters would make this sound a little less like a screed, and drive home a little better the idea that she cares about free speech (although I believe she does) and not just bashing the left, with whom she shares many viewpoints, and indeed considers herself a liberal. She does invoke McCarthy (and given the subject matter, how could she not?), but largely conservatives are given easy treatment.
One other problem I had with the audio version is the frequency with which offensive (or often just vulgar) words are bleeped out. It may be that the words are redacted in the original text, which would force the audio producers' hands. I don't know who's to blame, but it's distracting.
Having said that, I really did enjoy the book and would recommend it. The narration is solid.

Enjoyed a lot.
I really liked the subject matter and the research was impeccable. The examples given are great. The book is well written and the narrator was superb. I will recommend this book to everyone I know. To tell the truth, I haven't been very fond of Kirsten Powers because of her debates on O'Riley and the dumb positions that she mostly takes, but the book has made me view her in a very different light.

A Powerful Indictment Of The Left
A powerful indictment of how the left attempts to stifle debate and demonize those who they view as opponents. Powers uses facts and personal interviews to prove her point. Thank you for exposing this insidious culture.

Great Book
Although I don't agree with Kirsten on many issues, I admire her honesty and openness on this topic. Open discussion is good. Thanks
