In May 2015, together with coauthor Mary Katharine Ham, he published his first non-fiction book End of Discussion: How the Left’s Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate, Manipulates Voters, and Makes America Less Free. The show chronicles critique of political correctness in politics, media, and culture from the point of view of two Millennial conservatives.
In April 2008 he discovered a video from a 2007 reunion of the Weathermen, a radical left-wing group from the 1960s and 70s. Additionally, the footage included quotes from two members, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, defending their actions. Since Barack Obama was criticized during the 2008 presidential campaign for associating with Ayers and Dohrn, the clips made national news, from the Boston Globe to Fox News.
