"Fire the bureaucrats and close the agencies!" The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton sits down with Kevin to discuss the state of conservatism in America, President Biden, the Blob, and the urgency of courageous leadership. Will the U.S. elect a president with the tenacity needed to “punch the nose” of the deep state? “We believe at Heritage that a conservative, whether it’s President Trump or someone else in the field, will replace President Biden, thank goodness, and it isn’t enough for whoever that is to govern [as a] conservative. Tactically they have to wake up every day and say, what part of the American administrative state am I going to destroy today? Not reform, not modify, not tweak, destroy; fire the bureaucrats, close agencies, end, as is my pet project, the U.S. Department of Education. “If [Republicans] don’t have the backbone like Lady Thatcher, like President Reagan, to stand up to the Blob and to destroy it, we will lose America. Every tactic has to be oriented around that goal.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chris Elston, aka “Billboard Chris,” is the father of two girls and who decided to take a stand against gender ideology. His belief? Children should be free to be who they are — not indoctrinated to believe they were born in the wrong body. Puberty blockers are the first step in a medical pathway that brings physical harm to children. We are lied to about the effects of these drugs, and the cross-sex hormones which almost always follow. As the High Court in England laid out, children cannot give informed consent to these harmful, life-altering drugs. Our politicians refuse to listen, and our media refuse to report, so Chris has been having honest, tough conversations across North America, one person at a time. Hosted on Acast.

The horrific attacks on Israel have served as a striking illustration of the moral rot present on American college campuses. Countless professors, DEI staff, and students have celebrated the slaughter and proclaimed their support for terrorist actions.

Kyle, Albert, and Jay join Kevin for a discussion on how universities have contributed to the current crisis and how Americans can bring our institutions of higher education back in line with their original mission of forming virtuous and educated citizens. Guests: Kyle Washut, president, Wyoming Catholic College Albert Cheng, assistant professor, University of Arkansas, and director of the Classical Education Research Lab Jay Greene, senior research fellow, Center for Education Policy, The Heritage Foundation Hosted on Acast.
