Outstanding work by Liz Wheeler in Tipping Points to empower and teach everyday Americans how to debunk the Lefts talking points. Socialists have nothing left to say once their false narratives have been thoroughly exposed and debunked.

Liberals thrive on emotion, not facts. But this book provides the information you need to guide them from their self-imposed fog and into the sunlight.

Dan Bongino, author of Life Inside the Bubble, Protecting the President, Spygate , and Exonerated and host of The Dan Bongino Show

Liz is a master at tackling leftist myths and misinformation with poised persistence. In Tipping Points, we get invaluable insight into exactly how she does itallowing us to feel empowered and equipped to face what often feels likes a relentless onslaught of left-wing dogmatism. Practical and to the point, this book is the confidence boost young conservatives need to effectively engage with those with whom they disagree.

Allie Stuckey, host of the Relatable podcast

Liz is a person that doesnt hold back, or back down from her beliefs. I respect that in anyone, but especially from someone in such a visible status. She is a true example of what this country stands for, and she holds the values that we should be fighting to maintain every single day. To be truly unafraid to stand for what you know is right takes a special kind of person, and you can look no further than Liz Wheeler! We need more people like Liz in this country that know who they are and what they stand for! This book is yet another example of how she gets what is happening within our country and how to FIGHT back against the Left! She is awesome, the book is awesome, and you will LOVE everything about it!

Graham Allen, host of the Dear America podcast

Liz Wheeler represents a rising young generation of conservatives who will no longer be cowed by a culture dominated by leftist activists, institutions, and corporations at odds with their deeply held beliefs. This book shows how to confront the Left with the fierce logic that has become a hallmark of Wheelers approach to politics, and the reputation of someone who will never back down from a fight.

To my husband, Dan. You are the most wonderful man I know.

To my parents, Steve and Kathy. All of what I am is thanks to you.

To my sisters, Maria, Amy, and Anne, and to my brother, Matt. Im proud to be part of this group of extraordinary people.

To Rose and Audrey. Everyone should be so lucky to have such loyal friends.

To my Gram, and to my Gramps, who told me long ago, Everybody is entitled to their own stupid opinion. Gramps, this is my opinion. Ill let you be the judge of the rest.

T here have been a lot of responses to Saul Alinskys Rules for Radicals most of them poorly done. This isnt one of those.

This is a new handbook for a new kind of fightinga fight where we flip our opponents argument on its head and then stomp on it. (If youre picturing a WWE GIF, youre right on the money).

Were not going to lie, cheat, or steal to win like our opponents do. Were not going to twist the truth, exploit minorities, and malign the characters of decent men and women like our opponents do. We dont have to. Because were right .

Well call it Newtons most overlooked principle. For every Democratic position, there is a hypocritical and obvious contradiction. (I swear, Sir Isaac wrote that himself! Then Sir Isaac asked me to write a comprehensive list of all the liberal lies and how to call them out. True story.)

Guess what happens when you arm yourself with the facts and the fighting tactics before you march into the ring? You trounce liberals.

For the past four years, Ive been honored to spend every weeknight hosting an hour-long cable news opinion talk show on One America News Network. ( Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler at 9:00 p.m. EST. Dont forget to tune in! Wink, wink.)

From the get-go, I wanted my show to be different from other cable news opinion shows. I wanted my show to be more than an ideological echo chamber. Yes, Im openly conservative. I proudly advocate for conservative principles, values, ideals, and government policies that fulfill those ideals. (More on why Im conservative later.) But I wanted my show to prove to our viewers why conservative ideals are better than liberal nonsense.

How do you do that? Well, when the heart of the Lefts platform is big government, identity politics, thought control, mind control, speech control, birth control, and a fundamental distain for individualism and family (which they betray in almost every one of their shallow talking points), its not that hard.

This book shows how I do that every night on cable news and how you can, too.

We frequently introduce my monologue on my show by saying, Our nation is at a Tipping Point. If we dont turn America towards liberty, then we risk losing the freedom that makes America exceptional.

In this book, we will begin Part 1 by laying out 5 Tipping Points. We will explore the Lefts radical vision for our nation and the strategy the Left employs to codify their ideology into law. We will discuss the Lefts attacks on religion, education, gender, and the family, as well as political correctness and identity politics. We will demonstrate how the Lefts seemingly haphazard attacks on cultural norms are a meticulously planned tactical assault on the fundamental core of liberty in our nation.

Once you understand those crucial Tipping Pointsonce youre aware of the Lefts goals and the tactics the Left uses to execute their strategythen youll be ready to learn how to fight back. In Part 2 of this book, well discuss how to tip the scales on every issue in favor of limited government and individual liberty. That includes 11 tactics for debating the Left, plus delving into the deeper question of why we believe what we believe as conservatives and how to articulate our beliefs.

In Part 3, we will detail how the Left has built their House of Cards. We will expose all the major talking points the Left utilizes in their political dialogue every day (and why these talking points are false) and we will analyze the five major historical lies the Left peddles in order to justify their current political agenda.
