BOOK REPORT: “A Watchman in The Night” by Cal Thomas; Veteran, legendary Conservative Columnist, and Fox News broadcaster
Today we’re talking with Cal Thomas, about his latest book, “A Watchman in the night: What I’ve seen over 50 years reporting on America”. Thomas is a Vietnam era veteran who served as a radio broadcaster on Armed Forces Radio and then went on to become a legendary conservative journalist and Fox News broadcaster.
We discuss what inspired his thoughts on American culture and conversations with Presidents, politicians, and world leaders including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Thomas reflected on the way news is reported and consumed today, and offered some advice for the way all Americans should pursue the truth in today’s ratings-driven media landscape. He also shares how lunch meetings he had with President Ronald Reagan shaped his conservative ideals.
Thomas also discussed his Christian faith- and how it has been received as a journalist in the national media, his thoughts on the current Israel-Hamas War, and why he does not believe in a two-state solution.
