I sat down with Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter, to discuss his perspectives on systemic racism, the history of gun control, and why all Americans should value the Second Amendment. He explains how early gun control policies were purposely designed to disarm black Americans and argues that modern gun laws continue this legacy. Although the voters who support gun control don’t generally harbor racist intent, the fact remains that the burden of legal punishment falls most heavily on the black community. Maj believes that this has been a long-running experiment to acclimate Americans to gun control, while concealing its harms by focusing enforcement on marginalized communities, whose struggles are largely misunderstood or ignored by both conservatives and liberals. He also shares his experience educating urban communities about safe gun ownership, conflict resolution, and how to navigate the obstacles created by gun control._____________________________________Follow Maj on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/MajToure999Watch Maj on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MajToure_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Why ‘Black Guns Matter’?[4:47] How is gun control racist?[19:01] What about school shootings?[33:16] Growing up in North Philadelphia[43:37] Why are race relations getting worse?[53:53] Atonement, reparations, and justice[1:03:09] Diversity of thought or just clickbait?[1:09:09] American conservatives are liberal[1:13:10] How to teach about gun rights[1:25:31] Teach kids that they are capable[1:31:12] Practical advocacy for gun ownership_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/D4AXdJJd8NUMake 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 episode, Michael Shellenberger, a journalist and author known for his critical insights on climate and societal issues, discusses the erosion of trust in elite institutions and its repercussions on American cities, particularly California. He addresses the disconnect between populism and political elites, emphasizing how leadership fails to connect with the public. The conversation also explores the importance of free speech in media, challenges of audience engagement, and parenting approaches, culminating in a reflection on cultural trust and the future of political discourse.

The school choice revolution has begun, providing parents with the power and resources to choose the best educational path for their children. Corey DeAngelis, a leading advocate for school choice and author of “The Parent Revolution,” explains why this movement is gaining unstoppable momentum. The disastrous school closures of 2020 changed the minds of millions of parents from default supporters of public education to vehement opponents, and now, twelve states have implemented universal school choice. Corey is a firm believer that tax dollars intended for education should be in the hands of parents and students, not broken school systems. It’s not just about offering alternatives—it's about breaking up the government monopoly that has long restricted educational opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged communities._____________________________________Follow Corey on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/DeAngelisCoreyPurchase a copy of “The Parent Revolution”: https://www.amazon.com/Parent-Revolution-Rescuing-Radicals-Ruining/dp/1546006869_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] The Parent Revolution[3:51] Public schools aren’t really “public”[8:33] Was has education become political?[24:14] Our schools are still segregated[39:12] Why doesn’t Texas have school choice yet?[50:00] “Remote learning” exposed the truth[57:49] Progressives have overplayed their hand[1:05:36] What about banning CRT and DEI?[1:13:34] Corruption in school board elections[1:20:13] Public sector unions shouldn’t exist[1:29:38] The school choice gold standard[1:33:16] Does school choice defund public schools?[1:40:33] Why does the government run schools at all?[1:47:32] How does the future of American education look?_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xnT4ly4dujwMake 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

Was Jesus a socialist? Lawrence Reed, President Emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education, tackles this question in his 2020 book titled just that. Some socialists like to claim Jesus among their ranks, but the Bible says otherwise. In Lawrence’s view, the teachings of Christ emphasized personal responsibility, voluntary charity, and the ethical foundations of freedom. We explore key biblical passages that both directly and indirectly comment on the structure of society and the proper relationship between personal values and government force. While it would be unreasonable to expect direct biblical instruction on the minutiae of contemporary policy issues, the Bible does contain plenty of guiding principles that light the way for us._____________________________________Purchase a copy of “Was Jesus a Socialist?”: https://www.amazon.com/Was-Jesus-Socialist-Question-Answer/dp/1610171608_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Was Jesus a socialist?[2:25] Socialism isn’t charity[9:01] What’s the Biblical evidence?[17:06] Are we forcing economics into the Bible?[20:48] The Golden Rule, pacifism, and fairness[28:27] Surrendering to your faith[33:55] Greed, wealth, and competition[44:44] Why Lawrence believes in free markets[52:10] Faith, freedom, and the Founding Fathers[1:00:46] Freedom requires virtue[1:11:46] The role of suffering in a life well-lived[1:14:39] Is the American Empire the new Rome?[1:22:44] Politics makes it hard to be good or happy[1:27:46] What do kids need to know about money?[1:35:35] Books that everyone should read[1:39:03] His dad taught him to tip generously_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BczAv4-lha8Make 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

Comedian and actor Rob Schneider shares his perspective on the cultural and political shifts that have shaped his journey from a traditional liberal to a vocal critic of the progressive mainstream. Starting with his growing skepticism of vaccine safety around 2012, Rob noticed a stubbornness, and often outright hostility, in the public conversation toward questioning the “expert” managerial class. As a father, his commitment to his children drives his passion for defending the future of America against cultural trends that undermine our freedoms. Rob’s upcoming book, "You Can Do It!: Speak Your Mind, America," currently available for preorder, draws on his personal experiences in Hollywood and his firm belief in free speech._____________________________________Follow Rob on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/RobSchneiderPreorder Rob’s book: https://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Do-Speak-America/dp/1546007865/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EP052M9Q75EI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vslXvnGWOQ1xM_xwmay8fgyQTtrS4SDqt7vSb-skD0P5VDV7mmPWz4cKmGjlObRJkB-ZkxEqPMqmvTFu0JcMmKezzoDY8OWdGLUrWdH4EYPgVKYtqNnXOTCi7q9-F7YP7zoqsF2Zu5uit0EnnuU_5X8tclpz2m4BOjechthuAn9r0CdkVRvGms4QxxIyVj8RI5pzrNtuSvyvupZEsLjh610yInLERUkVvWTeDF_1Xow.LZsT4KRX8U93sP8HZ3-2HBrKdTlfHY8yzdqSDkIytLk&dib_tag=se&keywords=rob+schneider+book&qid=1722970737&sprefix=Rob+Schneider%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-139:43:Watch “Rob Schneider: Woke Up in America”: https://nation.foxnews.com/watch/33f9379d3469f8f1d4834503f1d84515/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Liberal conservatism and authoritarian progressivism[5:58] Why Rob became skeptical of vaccines[15:41] How did vaccines become political?[19:13] Will Americans comply with another lockdown?[24:10] The modern Hollywood blacklist[31:09] Comedy is alive and well[39:23] Woke culture is bad for storytelling[46:28] The politics of transgressive comedy[55:15] Catholicism, marriage, and family[1:06:26] The good, bad, and ugly of immigration[1:12:48] America is the best, but it could be better[1:18:22] Change the world by raising good kids_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lEx1ZXYnMpQMake 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 engaging discussion, Andrew Doyle, a playwright, journalist, and the mind behind the Twitter persona Titania McGrath, critiques modern culture wars and their effect on free speech. He humorously addresses the intolerance for differing views within the LGBTQ community, arguing that current activism misrepresents the average gay person's beliefs. Doyle also questions the corporatization of Pride events and reflects on the implications of contemporary LGBTQ+ dialogues, advocating for a return to rational discourse amidst growing extremism.

I sat down with senior editor at Reason and host of The Hill’s “Rising” Robby Soave to explore the shifting landscape of media and politics in America. Robby provides a sharp critique of how the media has changed its tune on President Biden’s cognitive state, rapidly pivoting from denial to feigned shock and distress following the debate. He discusses how, although audience capture can corrupt both corporate legacy media and independent social media, the latter is far more resistant to the top-down engineering of public perception. Looking back fondly at the ‘good old days’ of Walter Cronkite may be comforting to some, but in reality, the only difference was the style of presentation. Centralized media institutions have never been, and will never be, unbiased purveyors of truth. With the technology most of us carry in our pockets every day, we have a better opportunity than ever before to make the most of our First Amendment rights._____________________________________Follow Robby on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/robbysoaveCheck out Robby’s work at Reason: https://reason.com/people/robby-soave/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] The media is responsible for the coverup[5:39] What election outcome benefits the media?[7:43] How audience capture works[14:46] Why Robby didn’t think Biden would step down[22:05] Political chaos throughout the West[27:30] Why Democrats are worried about Project 2025[36:10] The rural-urban divide in America[40:18] The good, bad, and ugly of the social media era[48:58] Exposing the “Covington kids” story[57:14] The future of cancel culture in the AI era[1:00:13] How to stay sane in the 21st century[1:09:00] What happened to classical liberalism?[1:12:26] Make the most of your 1st Amendment rights_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/k4Hbo4YpU2oMake 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 author, historian, and libertarian commentator Tom Woods about 90 minutes after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Reeling from the shock of this historic moment, we attempt to wade through its profound implications for the American Republic. Drawing on his wealth of historical knowledge, Tom analyzes how political tribalism, media echo chambers, and “state of emergency” governance are eroding our constitutional framework. He presents chapters from American history that outline our past and present pitfalls and model an optimistic path forward for Americans._____________________________________Follow Tom on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/ThomasEWoodsCheck out Tom’s podcast and books: https://tomwoods.com/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Reacting to the Trump assassination attempt[7:43] Does history repeat, rhyme, or neither?[11:46] How technological revolutions drive politics[15:08] Will Trump embrace this opportunity for leadership?[18:29] The Trump prosecution exposed our “justice” system[22:30] Revolutions can be fast or slow[28:34] Can the ‘Dobbs’ Supreme Court case fix our problems?[35:16] Does the Constitution actually constrain the government?[39:32] The United States is a collection of societies[51:25] Is civil war now on our national bingo card?[57:34] “Fox-to-CNN” isn’t the true range of legitimate opinion[1:05:44] How Christianity built our civilization[1:20:24] The Tom Woods School of Life_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mOGhkUIUzRUMake 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

Hannah Frankman, founder of Renegade Educator and a passionate advocate for alternative education, dives deep into the flaws of traditional public schooling. She shares her experience as a homeschooled child, arguing that it nurtures creativity better than conventional methods. Hannah critiques the reliance on standardized testing and the lack of curiosity fostered in students. The discussion highlights innovative models like Montessori, micro-schools, and the importance of self-directed learning in preparing children for future challenges.
