Robert Crumb, Political Correctness and Moral Self-Licensing

American cartoonist Robert Crumb, currently living in France, is discussed regarding his refusal to draw a conventional caricature of Muhammad despite public pressure.

The hosts reflect on the role of their own show in confirming listeners' suspicions about mainstream narratives.
