Last spring, former Texas Children’s Hospital surgeon and current whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim exposed, in his words, that the hospital was lying to the public about the existence of their transgender program. Despite promises to cease such procedures, the hospital continued practicing transgender medicine on kids as young as 11.Texas legislators responded to the information revealed by Haim with the bi-partisan Senate Bill 14, outlawing transgender medical interventions on minors statewide. This ignited controversy and drew the ire of activists and hospital officials opposing any restrictions on transgender medicine.Eithan’s story took a legal turn as federal agents, presumably armed with internal server data, pursued him. He’s been threatened with prosecution from the federal government, and there is clearly a message being sent around those that seek to challenge the practice of transgender medicine and specifically in context of children.In our sit down with Haim, accompanied by his attorney Marcella Burke, we discuss his views on the dangers of transgender medicine for children, why he’s committed to protecting them from life-altering procedures, and the in depth story of everything that he has experienced over the last year.Support Eithan Haim's cause: https://www.givesendgo.com/texas_whistleblowerSubscribe and ring the notification bell so you don’t miss a single video!Subscribe to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/emergent-orderMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-or...Our Website: https://www.dadsavesamerica.comDad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

If the streaming charts are true, then there’s a good chance you’ve watched the collapse of America in Netflix’s new film Leave the World Behind. The film is many things, including pretty good, but most notably, it’s a conspiracy theory built on racial division, brought to you by former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama.On one level, this is a classic disaster movie. There’re some great set pieces, it’s stylish and cinematic, and the whole thing feels pretty believable, but at another level, it’s a perfect manifestation of America’s cynical, elite nihilism. It’s an uncomfortable mix of warning and wish-fulfillment about national collapse that just happens to be executive produced by the Obamas.It’s important for us as adults, and especially as parents, to confront this vision and understand where it goes deeply wrong so that we and our kids can escape its siren call to nihilism, disempowerment, and despair._____________________________________The Glenn Show, discussing George Floyd and Derek Chauvin: https://youtu.be/0ffv4IUxkDU?si=M8tq3JYQ4oeelAo7Akbar Gbajabiamila on Dad Saves America: https://youtu.be/N2L_qNMM4gY?si=WNvHLwdHAflKqftn_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] America’s Race to Collapse[2:28] ‘Leave the World Behind’[18:43] Conspiracy Theories of Invisible Racism[28:03] Reasons to Have Hope_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GtBBSfeZ5qUMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

Kristi Kendall, an accomplished television producer and filmmaker, and Ben Klutsey, Director of the Program on Pluralism and Civil Exchange at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, joined the show to discuss their new documentary film, Undivide Us. The film brings together people from diverse backgrounds to discuss highly contentious topics like gun control, abortion, and immigration, and dives into the pressing concerns of America's current political culture, exploring the risks of national division and the specter of civil unrest.Kristi and Ben stress the significance of local community engagement, advocating for a decentralized approach to defusing toxic polarization. They challenge media narratives that present black-and-white stereotypes as representing average Americans across the political spectrum and highlight the importance of nuance and perspective. Classical liberal values of mutual respect and curiosity can pave the way for a more united America if we take them seriously._____________________________________Learn more about Undivide Us: https://undivideusmovie.comProgram on Pluralism and Civil Exchange: https://www.mercatus.org/tags/pluralism-and-civil-exchange_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Reasons to be optimistic about national unity[9:26] What’s going on inside newsrooms?[12:22] Making a movie about focus groups[18:38] The world of nuance in a simple question[22:56] Surprising perspectives on difficult issues[32:55] You can only have real conversations in person[37:42] The Pareto principle of online discourse[42:55] How do you deal with the instinct to radicalize?[51:51] Why have race relations broken down?[58:58] What is “liberalism” and why does it matter?[1:02:50] Changing opinions about people, not policy[1:08:32] Why are people rejecting an “American” identity?[1:18:44] Multi-ethnic democracy is a brand new experiment[1:23:13] People don’t want to bring conflict into their homes[1:31:43] Watch out for conversational terrorists[1:37:34] Keep the rules few, simple, and local[1:45:32] The need for marriage counseling in politics[1:48:42] How to watch “Undivide Us”_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xiDydADwz9kMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America goes viral on TikTok. Free speech loses even more friends. Harvard rallies around the race card.We’ve watched a series of truly outrageous events unfold. All of them are deeply connected and a warning for the trajectory of our society. Too many of our kids have embraced the enemies of civilization, too many of our educational and cultural institutions are to blame, and at the heart of all of it is an assault on our nation’s founding principles: freedom of expression and equality under the law. These enlightenment values are being replaced by a resurgence of pre-industrial tribal barbarism masquerading as postmodern social justice.As parents, we need to get engaged in this battle of ideas with our kids and help them navigate this crazy world so they don’t end up as useful idiots taking to the streets in defense of evil. We must accept our responsibility to help them understand right from wrong, and be a lighthouse they can turn to in dark times. They’re not going to find that light anywhere else._____________________________________Outline:[0:00] The search for moral clarity[2:26] How we react to atrocities[11:19] Free speech for me, but not for thee[23:31] Know what we’re fighting for_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/f0Aap3DQsSAMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

Alan Graham has been on the frontlines tackling homelessness for 25 years. As the CEO and founder of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, a social outreach ministry, Alan has been instrumental in developing innovative solutions, building genuine relationships with the homeless community, and providing sustainable, permanent support for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness.Alan’s journey began in 1998 when he, along with four friends, started delivering meals to homeless men and women from the back of a green minivan. This initial effort has since expanded significantly, with 20 trucks operating in multiple cities and over 6 million meals served so far. In recent years, Alan has taken his ministry to the next level with the Community First Village in Austin, Texas. Rather than the traditional shelter model, this project is an enclave of tiny homes and RVs, designed to create a real community for its residents, or as Alan likes to say, his neighbors. Alan and his wife Tricia have since moved into the community themselves, alongside over 350 formerly homeless neighbors.This interview contains adult themes and may not be suitable for younger listeners._____________________________________Mobile Loves & Fishes: https://mlf.orgCommunity First Village: https://mlf.org/community-first/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] What is Community First?[11:55] Alan’s chaotic childhood[24:37] Helping intellectually disabled people changed his life[30:00] Surviving booms and busts in business[39:12] How Alan came back to faith and the Church[49:00] Founding Mobile Loaves & Fishes[59:55] Build relationships with the people you serve[1:07:54] Our culture breaks families in different ways[1:21:01] Community First builds homes, not houses[1:28:13] Navigating the civil liberties of homeless people[1:34:56] How does Community First work?[1:42:59] Who lives at Community First?[1:47:51] Changing the public perception of homeless people[1:53:26] Lightning round Q&A_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7eph5aXAmzoMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

Our culture is suffering from a potentially fatal allergy. Identity politics has become a kind of autoimmune disease that threatens to kill the host. We've become hypersensitive to our superficial identities just as our kids have become hypersensitive to most of the components of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.We're going to need more than an emergency epipen if we want to stop this disease and get back on track to stability and health as a society. And no, we can't just “get along” in some utopian, post-identity abstract metaverse. Our challenge is much more complicated, and more human than that. If we don’t recognize and effectively treat what’s making us, and especially our kids, so dangerously hypersensitive about our own identities and downright allergic to every difference, our society might not recover from our next tribal anaphylactic shock._____________________________________Gordon Wood on Dad Saves America: https://youtu.be/1P7yMTNv31c?si=U2Q8kMIA0WmLYe_0_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Identity politics is an autoimmune disease[1:41] Rise of peanut allergies[3:29] Importance of identity[7:01] Identity gone wrong[9:54] Think big and small_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1g8pzcvR8aYMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.

The barbarians are at the gates, and we created them. The kids who’ve terrorized speakers on college campuses and HR departments in Fortune 100 companies. The kids who scream and cry and throw temper tantrums on TikTok over trivial encounters with ideas they dislike. The kids who believe speech is violence AND silence is violence. The kids who took to the streets and burned our cities after the death of one man, yet now come out in explicit support of the barbaric murder of more than 1400 innocent civilians in Israel.Why call them “kids”? Because they are OUR kids. And it’s OUR fault.We’ve coddled and encouraged a generation of barbarians through both intentional activism, confusion, and neglect. We’ve allowed our education institutions from K-through-PhD to be captured by the enemies of civilization itself and transformed into barbarian incubators. Our media and politics have not only cheered this on, but profiteered from it at every turn.And now, they are the barbarians inside our gates. And if we don’t do something about this right now, they will tear civilization itself to the ground. As a father of a high school senior, our family is looking at all of this in shock and horror. The stakes for my son’s future are high. And the stakes for our civilization are even higher._____________________________________Harvard Students Zero-Day Response to the Hamas attack: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/20...Harvard Administrators’ Cold-Blooded Academic Murder of Roland Fryer: https://youtu.be/m8xWOlk3WIw?si=t00hs0ryfPOrotzT_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] The Barbarians Inside Our Gates[2:34] Barbarism, Civilization, and Tribalism[5:22] Welcome to Harvard, Young Barbarians![12:58] Claudine Gay, Cancel Culture Warrior[14:19] The Canceling of the American Mind[15:42] The Barbaric Hijacking of High School Debate[19:06] Seduced into Utopia, disappointed into Nihilism[20:24] Religion and Reality Under Pressure[24:11] Practical advice for raising a healthy, civilized adult_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6noX5AUuzwUMake a tax-deductible donation to Dad Saves America: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/dad-website?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________________________Dad Saves America is a channel dedicated to celebrating heroic fatherhood while teaching the next generation of fathers strategies they can utilize in parenting their children.
