  • 25 Years After 9/11: How “Never Forget” Became “We Deserved It” 12.09.2026 1t 35min
    Zohran Mamdani just appointed Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who once represented an Al Qaeda member, as New York City's chief legal counsel. This sparked outrage from 9/11 families and a petition demanding that he not attend this year’s 9/11 memorial collected more than 100,000 signatures.A hundred million Americans have been born since 9/11, and campus interviews reveal that many were never taught who attacked us or why. Osama Bin Laden's “Letter to America” went viral on TikTok a couple years ago as if it were a revelation rather than propaganda.Twenty five years after 9/11, some have forgotten the first major crisis of the century, and others have rewritten the story._____________________________________For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial 971-571-6444 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/dad - *Paid partnership*Chapter: Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

  • Bond Market Breakdown: Are We Headed for Another Fall Financial Crisis? 05.09.2026 1t 25min
    The bond market wobbled this week, and Secretary Bessent is now buying back government debt just to keep long-term interest rates from climbing further. Bond market volatility in the early fall has a bad history of signaling worse to come, from 1929 to 1987 to 2008.The national debt sets a new all time high every day, recently crossing the $40 trillion mark. The U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has allowed us to kick the can down the road for decades, but interest payments on the national debt are reaching unsustainable levels and now the bond market is starting to push back.Are we at the point of no return or can we still grow our way out of this mess?_____________________________________See if your SSN is for sale right now.

    I sat down with Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us and author of “Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City,” to talk about what adults are and aren’t willing to sacrifice for the wellbeing of children. Katy has spent her career defending children’s rights to their own mother and father, touching on adoption, gay marriage, surrogacy, and IVF. We also get into how she raised kids who think for themselves even while attending Seattle public schools and her personal experience with the adoption system.We get into:* Why children are safer with their own married mother and father* What the data actually says about stepparents and abuse* How the sexual revolution reshaped our whole society* Why legalizing gay marriage meant eliminating “mother” and “father” from the law* The truth about IVF and the fertility industry* Why adults’ desires are now put before children’s needs* What Christianity requires of us when defending kids_____________________________________See if your SSN is for sale right now.

  • The Lindsay Clancy Trial Has Exposed a Moral Psychosis in America 28.08.2026 1t 7min
    The Lindsay Clancy trial has exploded into the latest social media gender war over postpartum mental health, the role of mothers in society, and the nature of moral responsibility. The defense says postpartum psychosis is to blame and that she shouldn’t be held criminally responsible in the deaths of her three children. Now the jury is deciding whether they buy her story.Videos of women excusing Clancy’s actions or promoting conspiracy theories implicating her ex-husband have spread like wildfire on TikTok. Hundreds of women showed up to her trial wearing pink in solidarity and her family has now raised over $1,000,000 on GoFundMe. Meanwhile, Massachusetts lawmakers just legalized abortion up until the moment of birth to great fanfare.Both reflect the same moral drift: a culture that has grown increasingly comfortable letting mothers decide when they are, and aren’t, responsible for the lives of their children._____________________________________Purchase a T-shirt, hoodie, and more over on our merch store: https://shop.dadsavesamerica.com/Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4AusNBM64LsMake 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
  • How Elite Consensus Botched COVID, Climate, and the Economy - Dr. Steven Koonin 27.08.2026 1t 55min
    I sat down with theoretical physicist Dr. Steven Koonin, author of “Unsettled” and former Under Secretary of Energy for Science under President Obama, to discuss what he calls the “consensus trap.” He argues that the 2008 financial crisis, COVID policies, and climate alarmism all followed the same template, and the people who got it wrong faced no accountability while the costs fell on the poor. Institutions built policy on flawed models, manufactured an elite consensus, and punished the scientists who dissented.We get into:* Why Fauci saying “I represent science” was a betrayal of science* How the RCP 8.5 climate scenario was used for propaganda* Working as BP’s chief scientist and inside the Department of Energy* Why the global energy transition hasn’t moved the needle on fossil fuel use* Why wind and solar can’t be the backbone of the electric grid* The real risks of EMP attacks and solar storms* The state of nuclear power and small modular reactors* How AI is reshaping energy reliability, affordability, and emissions_____________________________________Protect your privacy on the cellular level with Cape at https://cape.co/dadsavesamerica.

  • The Jason Arday Scandal Is White Guilt on Steroids 22.08.2026 1t 27min
    Last week, Cambridge’s youngest ever black full professor was found dead, days after resigning under investigation for plagiarism and his fabricated life story. Jason Arday claimed to have run 600 miles in six days, couldn't speak until age 11, and still earned a PhD by 30. When the scrutiny finally caught up with him, Amnesty International's response was to call for censorship.Meanwhile, MIT's black enrollment dropped from 13% to just 5% after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against affirmative action. Racial preferences in admissions have not achieved the supposed goal of closing educational disparities between black and white Americans, but instead have just papered over them.The West has spent decades manufacturing token success stories to manage its own white guilt.

Os argues that the slow secularization of the West has left its freedom, virtue, and sense of meaning disconnected from the foundation that sustained them for centuries.We get into:* Growing up in China during WWII and the rise of Mao* Why the West is a “cut flower civilization”* The golden triangle of freedom, virtue, and faith* Why atheism conflicts with free will* Whether Islam can adapt to Western norms* The Hebrew Republic’s overlooked influence on America’s founding* The rise of antisemitism on the left and right* What it will take for the West to come home to its own roots_____________________________________Order a copy of “Our Civilizational Moment: The Waning of the West and the War of the Worlds”: https://a.co/d/0bdSVQbYOrder a copy of “America Agonistes: America’s 250th and the Restoration of a Nation in Conflict with Itself and Its Past”: https://a.co/d/0eL4mAbN_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Growing up in China in the 1940s[2:34] Eastern VS Western Civilization[6:53] The roots of the West have been cut[16:14] Freedom, virtue, and faith[27:51] Civility and truth in public discourse[36:59] Can people be equal without faith?[40:19] Christianity is anti-utopian[48:21] Is an Islamic Reformation possible?[59:07] Are there limits to free speech?[1:10:21] The Jewish influence on the Founding Fathers[1:17:35] How can Christians and Jews work together?[1:25:48] Why are Jews so influential in the West?[1:35:53] The elitist-populist divide[1:42:04] The role of entrepreneurship in freedom[1:46:32] Man’s Search for Meaning_____________________________________Purchase a T-shirt, hoodie, and more over on our merch store: https://shop.dadsavesamerica.com/Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-j-QB93yegUMake 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

    Thank you to all 500K+ subscribers to Dad Saves America!This show began in response to the mental health crisis I saw emerging among my son’s peers. Then COVID lockdowns hit and turned my worst-case predictions into reality. Now, socialism is sweeping the Democratic Party and young women are marching in support of Hamas, all while social media continues to poison the minds of our kids.As I like to say, the 1990s were the peak of Western civilization. The Cold War had been won, the economy was relatively stable, and our politics didn’t feel existential. Most importantly, both parties agreed that America was fundamentally good.That consensus is dead.

  • We Stopped Disciplining Kids. Now They’re Destroying Civilization. - Katharine Birbalsingh 14.08.2026 2t 10min
    I sat down with Katharine Birbalsingh, headmistress of Michaela Community School and the UK’s most outspoken voice on education, to mark the launch of our new YouTube collaboration, Strictly Education. Katharine runs one of the strictest schools in the UK, for mostly disadvantaged students from immigrant families, and gets some of the best results in the country. Her solution to the failure of modern schooling isn’t about funding, racial politics, or experimenting with radical teaching methods. It’s discipline, structure, and a return to the values our grandparents understood instinctively.We get into:* Why shame, done right, is essential to raising well behaved kids* How gentle parenting and white guilt are burning down Western civilization* Why the left refuses to try proven solutions in education* The consequences of failing to teach our true history* Why AI can never replace the relationship a great teacher builds with a child* Her case for government intervention regarding social media and smartphones* The vision behind Strictly Education and why she wanted to team up with Dad Saves America_____________________________________Ready to give MASA a try?

  • The Manosphere Is Only a Half-Answer for Young Men - Nick Freitas 06.08.2026 2t 15min
    I sat down with Nick Freitas, veteran, fellow podcaster, and author of “The Manbook,” to talk about what it actually means to be a man in the aftermath of the woke revolution. In recent years, manosphere figures like Andrew Tate have arisen as an answer for young men who feel cast out at school, at work, and in mainstream culture. Their message takes legitimate grievances and points them in unhealthy directions. Nick advocates for a different answer: biblical masculinity.We get into:* What masculinity is really all about* The moment Nick’s co-host changed the way he gives advice* Why conservatives aren’t getting through to radicalized young men* What he’s observed raising both a son and daughters* How he and his wife built a successful marriage and family* Why Christianity gets results, even if you can’t see it yet_____________________________________American Hartford Gold can help you protect your wealth with precious metals!

  • “I Plead the Fifth”: How Fauci’s Lies Destroyed the Expert Class 31.07.2026 50min
    Rand Paul just released Dr. Anthony Fauci's personal diary, more than 1,100 pages stored on government servers, and then made him answer for it before the Senate. Fauci’s response to almost every question was the same. He pleaded the Fifth, over and over again.But the real story isn’t the diary. It’s what Fauci represents. From funding offshore gain-of-function research, to soliciting cash prizes using federal resources, to the preemptive pardon shielding him from all of it, this is a portrait of an expert class that plays by it’s own rules and doesn’t think you should get a say.Is this the moment the myth of expert rule finally dies?_____________________________________American Hartford Gold can help you protect your wealth with precious metals!

  • Why Harvard Loses in the New College Rankings - Prof. Kevin Wallsten 30.07.2026 2t 23min
    I sat down with political scientist Kevin Wallsten to discuss his project building a new college ranking system from scratch. The standard metrics of acceptance rate, endowment size, and name recognition fail to address rising concerns about ideological bias and campus culture. With activism replacing the pursuit of truth throughout higher education, here’s what parents should know before sending their kids off to college.We get into:* Why University of Florida ranks #1 and Harvard lands at #37* What the 68 variables in this new ranking system actually measure* Why US News & World Report rankings almost never change, even as elite campuses melt down* How faculty became activists, and why even tenured professors self-censor* What DEI bureaucracies did to schools like the University of Michigan* The three competing purposes of the university: personal development, job training, and politics* Why universities are alienating the students they need most_____________________________________American Hartford Gold can help you protect your wealth with precious metals!

  • Nolan’s Odyssey: Woke Disaster or Western Classic? 24.07.2026 1t 8min
    Christopher Nolan's “The Odyssey” opened last weekend and sent Homer's 2,800-year-old poem back up the bestseller charts. It also became the most fought-over movie in recent memory, with accusations of woke casting and the "1619 Project” treatment of the Western canon.I decided to see the movie opening weekend. Some of the criticism lands. Some of it falls apart the moment the film starts. The real question isn't only whether the movie stays faithful to Homer, but which version of the West we think we're fighting for._____________________________________Ready to give MASA a try?

  • Everyone Hates AI Data Centers. Here's Why They're (Mostly) Wrong. 18.07.2026 1t 9min
    New York just became the first state to halt new AI data center construction. Bernie Sanders and AOC want to take that policy national, and 63% of Americans agree with them across party lines. This has become the one truly bipartisan issue in our politics, but bipartisan doesn't mean good.The concerns range from energy costs to water use to noise pollution. Some concerns are legitimate, some have already been solved, and others are simply based on false information. For better or for worse, technological revolutions usually aren't reversible.So what will the future of the American economy look like?_____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/everyone-hates-ai-data-centers-heres?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true_____________________________________Purchase a T-shirt, hoodie, and more over on our merch store: https://shop.dadsavesamerica.com/Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/R0NsK02MJdsMake 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

  • Mamdani's Own Mom: "He Is Not an American AT ALL” 11.07.2026 1t 14min
    Last week, Zohran Mamdani “celebrated” this country’s 250th birthday by sitting behind George Washington’s desk and lecturing America about who we are. His own mother once said he isn't American at all, and never wanted to be. These days, most other countries have a higher opinion of the United States than Democrats.Every immigrant who takes the citizenship oath swears to uphold values we’ve stopped taking seriously as a country. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court just upheld birthright citizenship, even for children born to parents with no allegiance to this country. Citizenship was once understood to be a responsibility, including civic and military participation, but not anymore.The question is whether becoming a citizen means becoming an American, or if it’s just a formality._____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/mamdanis-own-mom-he-is-not-an-american?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true_____________________________________Purchase a T-shirt, hoodie, and more over on our merch store: https://shop.dadsavesamerica.com/Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CHrHrBwWgTAMake 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
