I sat down with Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of the “The Counterrevolution”. Victor is a Stanford PhD who still lives on his family’s Central Valley farm that five generations of Hansons have called home, giving him a rare view of both the academic elite and the working Americans they look down on.We get into:* Trump’s counterrevolution against 50 years of progressive rule* Why America still dominates the world economy* The 2016 dinner where Peter Thiel predicted Trump’s win* Why the fall of Iran’s regime could be another Berlin Wall moment* How the DSA took over the Democratic Party* The battle between the credentialed class and middle America_____________________________________For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial 971-571-6444 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/dad - *Paid partnership*Chapter: Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

I sat down with Shelby Steele, an author and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and his son Eli Steele, the filmmaker behind “What Killed Michael Brown?” Together, they’ve produced a new documentary, “White Guilt,” that brings Shelby’s 2006 book into the present political climate. Shelby has lived the whole story, from segregation to Black Power militancy to now decades as a fearless dissenter on race.We get into:* What white guilt really is, and why it became a source of black power* How the left used collective guilt to claim moral innocence* Shelby’s journey from black radicalism to conservatism* How American racial politics were grafted onto the Israel-Palestine conflict* Eldridge Cleaver’s transformation from Black Panther to Reagan voter* Why BLM denies the racial progress of the past 60 years* Why courage is the only way past racial identity politics_____________________________________For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial 971-571-6444 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/dad - *Paid partnershipTake control of your water quality today.

I sat down with Nick Freitas, veteran, fellow podcaster, and author of “The Manbook,” to talk about what it actually means to be a man in the aftermath of the woke revolution. In recent years, manosphere figures like Andrew Tate have arisen as an answer for young men who feel cast out at school, at work, and in mainstream culture. Their message takes legitimate grievances and points them in unhealthy directions. Nick advocates for a different answer: biblical masculinity.We get into:* What masculinity is really all about* The moment Nick’s co-host changed the way he gives advice* Why conservatives aren’t getting through to radicalized young men* What he’s observed raising both a son and daughters* How he and his wife built a successful marriage and family* Why Christianity gets results, even if you can’t see it yet_____________________________________American Hartford Gold can help you protect your wealth with precious metals!

I sat down with political scientist Kevin Wallsten to discuss his project building a new college ranking system from scratch. The standard metrics of acceptance rate, endowment size, and name recognition fail to address rising concerns about ideological bias and campus culture. With activism replacing the pursuit of truth throughout higher education, here’s what parents should know before sending their kids off to college.We get into:* Why University of Florida ranks #1 and Harvard lands at #37* What the 68 variables in this new ranking system actually measure* Why US News & World Report rankings almost never change, even as elite campuses melt down* How faculty became activists, and why even tenured professors self-censor* What DEI bureaucracies did to schools like the University of Michigan* The three competing purposes of the university: personal development, job training, and politics* Why universities are alienating the students they need most_____________________________________American Hartford Gold can help you protect your wealth with precious metals!
