They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste: The Truth About Disaster Liberalism Free Audiobook Download by Jason Chaffetz

"The fundamental question of how to respond to a crisis is one that politicians and the media have long sought to answer. They never let a crisis go to waste." - Jason Chaffetz in They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste: The Truth About Disaster Liberalism by Jason Chaffetz

In this audiobook, Jason Chaffetz argues that politicians in the United States have always used natural disasters to push their agendas. He begins by discussing Hurricane Katrina and how it became a political tool in the 2008 US Presidential election.

"I can't tell you how many disasters that have been funded or created because of liberal ideas," says Congressman Jason Chaffetz. "They never let a crisis go to waste."

In the aftermath of natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy and Superstorm Sandy, a crisis narrative is created. This narrative essentially equates severe weather events with natural disasters. The media uses the language of 'disaster' to describe these events and paints them as inevitable, a result of unstoppable climatic change. It is difficult for people to gauge how much human activity has changed the climate and humans are unlikely to believe in messaging that criticizes their behavior.

Part One of this book, "The Truth About Disaster Liberalism," provides a snapshot of the motivation for the progressive Left and their refusal to let a crisis go to waste. The author has analyzed the prevalence of liberal politicians who have responded to natural disasters by increasing government power over citizens.

Jason Chaffetz lays out why the liberal response to tragedy is not always helpful and often counterproductive.
