I sat down with comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore to discuss the current state of American politics, the collapse of traditional left-right distinctions, and the influence of corporate power. Jimmy shares his journey of increasing disillusionment with the Democratic Party and how its alignment with Wall Street and big business has motivated toxic identity politics. We also dive into the overwhelming censorship and propaganda during COVID, how the military-industrial complex keeps us permanently at war, and why these realizations have led Jimmy to question other elements of progressive orthodoxy._____________________________________Follow Jimmy on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/jimmy_doreWatch “The Jimmy Dore Show” on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejimmydoreshow_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Where did all the liberals go?[6:53] COVID normalized censorship[16:42] Why should we still talk about COVID?[27:04] Don’t “trust the experts” on climate change[33:15] Jimmy’s case for Medicare-For-All[39:20] What happened to Bernie Sanders?[42:20] Do “left” and “right” exist anymore?[49:39] Which media sources can be trusted?[1:02:15] What Jimmy loves about America[1:05:13] War is the health of the state[1:17:43] Can the Democratic Party transform itself?_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JvrX35Ims_g?si=LINaLDEnc5KpqzreMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe

I sat down with Ian Vásquez, Vice President for International Studies at the Cato Institute, to unpack the failures of foreign aid and the true purpose of USAID. For decades, the U.S. has funneled billions into foreign assistance programs, yet these efforts have done little to spur economic growth. Instead, they have trapped countries in a cycle of dependence by subsidizing dysfunctional and corrupt regimes. Using Argentina as a case study, we explore how Javier Milei’s radical free market approach is steering his country away from perpetual hyperinflation and debt crises toward prosperity._____________________________________Follow Ian on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/VasquezIan_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Does foreign aid work?[15:14] DOGE’s crusade against USAID[21:09] Foreign aid is political meddling[29:56] Does economic freedom lead to political freedom?[41:27] The economic effects of colonialism[54:08] Argentina wasn't always a disaster[1:04:24] FDR’s admiration for fascism[1:09:32] Javier Milei’s war on inflation[1:20:12] Price control ruin housing markets[1:24:52] Are there downsides of Milei’s policies?[1:29:51] America might not be the freest country[1:33:33] How “libertarian” is the Trump administration?[1:44:46] Is freedom in retreat around the world?_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GuRXZSqdWCUMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe

James Fishback, CEO of Azoria and founder of Incubate Debate, proposes an innovative "DOGE Dividend" that could channel 20% of DOGE savings back to American taxpayers. He shares how his idea garnered the attention of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, sparking intense debate about fiscal responsibility. Fishback argues that engaging citizens in the DOGE project might transform government accountability, while addressing the complexities of national debt and spending.

Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, discusses challenges facing the conservative movement, particularly regarding Project 2025.

The conversation delves into Trump's vision for America and the shifting political landscape, emphasizing grassroots movements within conservatism. Roberts also highlights the crucial role of fathers in fostering freedom and the need for a reimagined educational approach against traditional public schooling.

Andrew Gold, a former BBC journalist and the mind behind 'Heretics,' dives into the pitfalls of ideological capture and cancel culture in today's media. He discusses his transition from mainstream media to independent journalism, emphasizing the importance of skepticism. Gold also explores fascinating topics like the rise of woke Islamism and the complexities of exorcism and gender ideology. With sharp insights into cult dynamics, he argues for the necessity of independent thought in confronting modern societal challenges.

In a lively debate, Noah Smith, an economics journalist with a PhD and author of "Noahpinion," and Peter St Onge, an Austrian economist and video creator, explore the radical idea of replacing income tax with tariffs. They dissect the potential economic benefits and the political dynamics of such a shift, including historical contexts and the moral implications of taxation. The conversation also touches on government spending, the complexities of tax structures, and the future of social safety nets, offering a thought-provoking look at America's fiscal landscape.

I sat down with Kennedy, former MTV VJ and libertarian commentator, to explore the Gen X mindset, parenting, politics, and faith. She argues that the latchkey-kid upbringing, combined with the Cold War backdrop, instilled in our generation a deep skepticism toward authority—especially the government. Kennedy shares her journey from high school dropout to MTV and what that taught her about education, career, and adulthood. We also dive into the failures of modern government, the philosophical foundations of her faith, and her hopes for the current political realignment. She currently hosts the "Kennedy Saves the World" podcast for Fox News Radio._____________________________________Follow Kennedy on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/KennedyNationListen to "Kennedy Saves the World": https://radio.foxnews.com/podcast/kennedy-saves-the-world/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Reflecting on the Gen X upbringing[8:05] Gen Z, COVID, and the cultural shift[15:32] How Kennedy grew into her Eastern Orthodox faith[24:54] Raising Gen Z girls in modern society[27:41] Kennedy’s roundabout path to a college degree[36:21] Studying religion, philosophy and science reaffirmed her faith[48:23] Kennedy’s start in radio and getting a job at MTV[53:19] How Kennedy coped with fame at a young age[1:01:52] Lessons learned from surfing[1:07:38] Having kids transforms you worldview_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eLXhP6msGU4Make a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe

I sat down with Katharine Birbalsingh, the controversial headmistress of Michaela Community School in London, to discuss why discipline, structure, and teaching “what to think” are essential for raising children into successful, independent adults. Clearly defined expectations empower students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to thrive both academically and personally. As someone who fondly recalls my more free-range, Gen X upbringing, her views present a welcome challenge to my biases toward freedom and independence. Katharine makes a compelling case for traditional, no-nonsense schooling that prioritizes basic skills, knowledge, and values over educators’ ideologically motivated experiments._____________________________________Follow Katharine on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/Miss_Snuffy_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] What is Michaela Community School?[9:15] Our culture has forgotten the value of structure[20:28] Free-range parenting doesn’t fit the inner city[26:25] Actually, you should teach kids what to think[38:57] Building habits frees you to pursue higher goals[50:08] Are education debates really class debates?[1:03:08] How do you keep school staff on the right track?[1:20:19] Is traditionalism an actionable solution?[1:34:36] Am I wrong about the Prussian school model?[1:47:03] Freedom is not a complete value set_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uLmb3as-MQcMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe

In this insightful discussion, journalist Michael Shellenberger, known for his works like "Apocalypse Never," breaks down the LA fire disaster and points a critical finger at local leadership. He reveals how a neglected firefighting budget, worsened by the homeless crisis, contributes to disaster responses. Shellenberger also critiques Hollywood's elitist politics and how they lead to systemic failures. Plus, he shares eye-opening thoughts on the impact of identity politics on voter behavior and the urgent need for accountable governance in California.

Last month, I traveled to Mar-a-Lago and sat down with a group of business leaders to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping our economy and society at large. Technological disruption presents both challenges and opportunities, and the growing student debt crisis has rightfully called into question the value of higher education. It’s time to renegotiate our relationship with traditional institutions and focus on cultivating grit, curiosity, and first-principles thinking. These tools can build an adaptive workforce and foster a competitive environment where American entrepreneurship can flourish once again._____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/td5-Q_qTkcU?si=ddJpGO-k5qU7tTFiMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe
