Discovery Institute Research Fellow Christopher Rufo joined Andrew Klavan of The Daily Wire to discuss Rufo's recent piece in The Wall Street Journal and how the "New Left Urbanists" seek to use infrastucture to make the masses conform to one vision of how to live. 

Discovery Senior Fellow Wesley J. Smith writes in National Review, " the bill is opposed by some opponents of assisted suicide, people who are my friends and whom I respect for their commitment to defending the practice of ethical medicine. This makes no sense to me. The more confidence people have that their loved ones will be cared for properly through palliative and hospice techniques... the less they are likely to turn in desperation to support for assisted suicide."

Discovery Institute's Insiders Tour to Israel was a smashing success. Led by George Gilder, Michael Medved, and Stephen Meyer, attendees participated in lectures and tours of historical sites throughout Israel. They were even treated to a cruise on the Sea of Galillee. Wish you had gone? There's always next year in Jersusalem!
