Description

Socialists just swept New York's primaries, and this is not a fringe story anymore. Mamdani-backed candidates beat establishment Democrats, while a Gallup poll shows 66% of Democrats view socialism favorably. In this episode, I break down why I'm calling this socialism instead of the softer "democratic socialist" rebrand, what the Democratic Socialists of America polling above Democrats in Congress says about the party, and why Milton Friedman, Venezuela, price controls, and Reagan's old warning still matter now. If Democrats keep moving left, conservatives have an opening and a responsibility to answer it clearly.

Episode 65: The Patriotic Children's Book America Needs Right Now

At a time where patriotism is decreasing it is important, now more than ever, to pass American values onto the next generation. As the 250th birthday of our great nation approaches, Amanda Martin has stepped in to make learning and celebrating American history fun through her new children's book: Henry the Star-Spangled Spaniel. In the book, Henry goes back in history to witness key moments and brings young readers along with him.  In this episode, Amanda and Grace discuss the new book, literacy among young Americans, why patriotism should not be partisan, and how parents can make America’s founding story fun for kids again. Children are often more open to American history than adults give them credit for--Henry is proving this! Find the book everywhere today to celebrate our 250th anniversary with the children in your life!

Episode 64: Democrats’ Patriotism PLUMMETS

America turns 250 this year, and a new poll says 29% of Democrats aren't proud to be American anymore. A lot of them won't even fly the flag on the 4th! In this episode, I walk through the numbers, and some of them are genuinely hard to look at. Pride on the left has cratered. The two parties can't even agree on what the 4th of July is for. And there's the State of the Union moment Democrats refused to stand for. I also get into why it's happening, from what kids are taught in school to what the media rewards, plus a comfort that's quietly crowded out gratitude. The point is simple: your patriotism shouldn't rise and fall with whoever sits in the White House. It goes back to the God-given rights the founders put everything on the line to protect.
