Sometimes it seems like America is governed by an angry mob. Here's our show:

THE LIBERAL MOB: Ann Coulter says "the Democratic Party activates mobs... depends on mobs... coddles mobs... publicizes and celebrates mobs... it is the mob."

THE REPUBLICAN MOB: But Democrats say Republicans act like mobs. On balance, I side with Coulter, because I get yelled at by liberal mobs.

THE MEAN GREEN MOB: The left does act like a mob when they get hysterical about climate change. Robert Kennedy Jr. says he wants to jail skeptics and treat them like war criminals.

POLICE VS. PROTESTERS: After the Ferguson protests, many Americans called the protestors the mob. But others called the police the mob. A debate.

BUY AMERICAN: A mob of unions and politicians tells us to "Buy American." But "buying American" does not actually put more Americans to work.

KOCH CONSPIRACY: A mob of people hate the Koch brothers, and some say they want to kill them. I defend the Kochs.

MY TAKE: You might call me a hypocrite for doing a show criticizing mob rule. After all, in search of ratings, I pander to the mob. But one big difference: I can't force anyone to watch. I have to persuade you. Government is different. Government gets to use force.
