Jul 27, 2022•28 min•Ep 30•Transcript available on Metacast If politics is upstream from culture, Americans need a serious reality check. Ruling elites have used the deterioration of civil society to consolidate their power in a doomed effort to push an unpopular agenda. That has to change. Three generations of elites — from Washington to Hollywood — have promised young Americans that severing the natural connections between sex, marriage, commitment, kids, and parenthood would be “liberating.” It has been anything but. The fact is, there is a policy and...

Apr 27, 2022•43 min•Ep 11•Transcript available on Metacast This week, we’re gonna pull back the curtain on the hypocrisy of the left’s so-called pro-woman agenda.

Apr 06, 2022•37 min•Ep 8•Transcript available on Metacast Big Tech is bent on pushing a left-leaning agenda, inching us ever closer to a reality where those they disagree with — often conservatives — have their liberties hampered. Their influence has spread to high echelons of government and continually deeper into our lives as our world becomes more and more integrated with the digital space. As we’ve seen in the case of the Freedom Convoy truckers in Canada, something as simple as banking and purchasing power can be stripped away from citizens in thi...

Mar 23, 2022•33 min•Ep 6•Transcript available on Metacast In just a little over a year, Joe Biden has created the worst immigration crisis our country has ever faced.
