Episode 73: Stop Calling Them "Democratic Socialists." They're Marxists.

The radical leftists winning primaries call themselves "democratic socialists." The honest word is Marxists. The softer label is the strategy. In this episode, I break down how the left manipulates language to manipulate you, from "pro-choice" to "climate change" to "democratic socialist." I get into why Marxist doctrine treats socialism as the transition and communism as the goal, the "permeation" strategy Sidney and Beatrice Webb laid out for infiltrating institutions, and a Students for Life debate that shows how to shut down the word games on abortion. DSA candidates are on track to win deep-blue districts and join the squad in Congress this midterm cycle. Call things what they are.

Episode 72: They Are Cutting God From Kids' History Books And It's No Accident.

A new Brave Books study found libraries and publishers are scrubbing Christianity from kids' reading lists built for America's 250th birthday. Not one book about faith, religious liberty, or Christianity's role in the founding made the cut. In this episode, I break down what the study found and why an omission this complete is no accident. The same lists found room for the 1619 Project and transgender activism. I walk through the history being erased, from John Adams to the Bible verse on the Liberty Bell, plus the American Library Association's role and the fight over Bibles and the Ten Commandments in schools. You can't tell America's founding story without the Christian faith. This 250th year, make sure the kids in your life hear the real one.

Episode 71: The Thread of Liberty is Fraying. Can We Save It?

The republic hangs by a thread. That's the warning at the heart of The Thread of Liberty, Ned Ryun's new documentary for America's 250th birthday. In this episode, I sit down with Ned, the founder and CEO of American Majority, to talk about the film and what keeping the republic asks of us. We get into Tocqueville's observation that religion was America's first political institution, how schools taught a generation to resent its own country, why breaking the administrative state comes before restoring the republic, and where virtue comes from in a self-governing people. Ned's answer to all of it starts with getting involved. The film is free at ThreadofLiberty.com, and it's worth all 85 minutes.

Episode 70: The Truth About The Founders and Slavery

Why wasn’t slavery abolished at our founding 250 years ago? This is one of the most misunderstood questions about our country’s history— the relationship between the Founding Fathers and slavery. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, Paul Kengor and Grace Reilly attack this topic head-on in partnership with The American Spectator. Special Guest: Paul Kengor.

Episode 69: America Turns 250, and the Truth That Built Her Is Under Attack

America just turned 250, the greatest country ever created. So why are we having an identity crisis over what it even means to be American? In this episode, I celebrate our 250th birthday and get honest about the moment we're in: a war on truth, a culture that acts like we've somehow outgrown God, and a country that can't agree on the principles that made it. We were founded on liberty, life, and rights that come from God, not the government. Most nations never make it this far, and whether we see another 250 years is our choice. There's real reason for hope, and it starts with us knowing the truth and passing it on. Happy 250th, America.
