The Impossible Choice: When a Crime Leads to Pregnancy

I sat down with former U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette, whose personal story challenges the mainstream narrative of American society and politics. Born under circumstances often cited as the textbook argument for pro-choice advocates, she shares how her upbringing shaped her unwavering belief in the sanctity of life. Kathy reflects on the unraveling of America's moral foundation, turning once-common truths into political battlegrounds, and how the ongoing failures of Democratic leadership and policies are undermining the previously steadfast support among black Americans. As a black woman running for the Republican Party, she struggled to gain the attention of groups like BLM and the NAACP, which have monopolized the conversation around racial issues. However, by relentlessly reaching out to new audiences, she has seen the tides begin to turn against the past 60 years of Democratic Party dominance.This interview contains adult themes and may not be suitable for younger listeners._____________________________________Follow Kathy on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/Kathy4TruthCheck out Kathy’s YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@kathy4truth?si=MUWwDmpXiATvEPC3_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] It’s time to talk about abortion[3:44] Kathy’s conception and upbringing[10:15] Choosing life under the hardest circumstances[18:24] American liberty requires a moral foundation[23:17] Her story disproves the pro-choice narrative[31:48] The cultural value of boundaries and shame[37:50] Kathy’s experience running for office[44:37] Grabbing the mic at a BLM event[54:16] Why have race relations collapsed?[1:01:28] Admit the results of Democrat policies[1:09:37] Black Americans are shifting to the right[1:18:34] We’re electing a president, not a pastor[1:29:57] Election irregularities in 2020[1:43:03] Our division isn’t Democrat vs Republican[1:49:14] Is this really a make-or-break election?_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2IlDP8wzSgUMake 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

Katherine Mangu-Ward: Virtue Requires Freedom and Freedom Requires Virtue

I sat down with Katherine Mangu-Ward, editor-in-chief of Reason, to discuss why we’ve both come to embrace libertarianism, even while we have entirely different ways of understanding the world. As a Catholic, my belief in universal morality and equal human dignity has led me to the conclusion that we should aim to maximize individual freedom. Katherine, on the other hand, doesn’t come at this from a religious perspective but instead embraces an optimistic utilitarian view of individual human potential for its own sake. She offers a refreshing take on why, if you’re worried about the state of the world, you should forget about voting and focus on raising independent and capable kids._____________________________________Follow Katherine on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/kmanguwardCheck out Katherine’s work at Reason: https://reason.com/people/katherine-mangu-ward/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Why shouldn’t you vote?[8:08] Modern parallels to the 60s and 70s[16:37] Individualism, consent, and coercion[24:07] Can we be virtuous without freedom?[27:55] Can we be free without traditional virtue?[32:19] Utilitarianism vs. universal morality[41:51] Have we killed God, and if so, what now?[50:33] Is ‘capitalism’ the right term for free markets?[55:16] Why are we playing with communism again?[58:28] The end of “the end of history”[1:08:13] What’s wrong with our media landscape?[1:16:33] Julian Assange and WikiLeaks[1:22:42] Elites, populists, and the party shift[1:28:57] Raise kids for healthy independence[1:37:52] Why people struggle with optimism[1:41:11] If you want to change the world, have kids_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_LAWIIeOWgMMake 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

Maj Toure Explains the Racist History of Gun Control

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

Corey DeAngelis on How Corrupt Teachers Unions Have Broken Our Public Schools

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

Socialism Is Gaining Popularity. What Would Jesus Do?

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
