Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Charles Murray, Hayek Emeritus Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute to discuss his new book, "Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America." They discuss the American creed and how the rise of identity politics and the belief in systemic racism is a threat to it. They also discuss racial differences in violent crime rates and distributions of cognitive ability and how systemic racism is not the cause of these differences.
