Foreign policy analyst Dr. Hal Brands joined Rep. Crenshaw to discuss why America abandoned pre-WWII isolationism to become the global superpower and the unprecedented prosperity that came from it.

And they look at the potential consequences for America if it retreats again to an isolationist foreign policy.
