  The Democratic Socialists Have a Working Class Problem 07.08.2026 1h 6min

  Socialist Abdul El-Sayed just won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, but the exit polls tell the real story. He dominated in college towns and lost badly in the working class neighborhoods he claims to represent. The same pattern played out in Zohran Mamdani's election.The socialists calling themselves the voice of the working class have never done a day of physical labor in their lives. The working class knows it, and they're not buying it. So who's this “working class” movement actually for?_____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-democratic-socialists-have-a?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/Yz9NWtQ0OWQMake 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

  The Manosphere Is Only a Half-Answer for Young Men - Nick Freitas 06.08.2026 2h 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 2h 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 1h 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?

  I sat down with bestselling author Eric Metaxas to discuss the Christian roots of America and what happens to our freedom if we forget them. His new book, “Revolution,” tells the story of the founding and the values that make America exceptional.We get into:* How the founders’ religious beliefs shaped the Revolution* The paradox of freedom and faith* Why the French Revolution ended in a bloodbath and ours didn’t* The true role of slavery in the Declaration of Independence* Why British elites despised the American colonists* The role of populism in American history* What it means to be an American, and how Mamdani fits into that picture_____________________________________Protect your privacy on the cellular level with Cape at https://cape.co/dadsavesamerica.

  Everyone Hates AI Data Centers. Here's Why They're (Mostly) Wrong. 18.07.2026 1h 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 1h 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

  The 1619 Project Wasn’t About Race. It Was an Attack on Capitalism. - Phil Magness 09.07.2026 1h 56min

  I sat down with Phil Magness, economic historian and author of “The 1619 Project Myth,” to discuss how the New York Times rewrote the founding narrative of the United States, first in print but eventually in schools nationwide.We get into:* How Phil caught a fabricated claim about Excel and plantations* How the “new historians of capitalism” rewrote economic history* Why Adam Smith, the father of capitalism, disproves the 1619 narrative* Why libertarians and marxists united against the 1619 Project* How Phil caught the Times quietly deleting its own claims* The real story the Declaration of Independence tells about slavery* How Britain and the US ended the slave trade* The claim that slavery was the main driver of American wealth_____________________________________Follow Phil Magness on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/PhilWMagness?s=20Learn more about Phil’s work: https://philmagness.com/Order a copy of “The 1619 Project Myth”: https://a.co/d/0itYMiLl_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] What is the 1619 Project?[6:23] Was capitalism built on slavery?[17:03] Southern culture was anti-capitalist[23:02] Adam Smith on mercantilism and slavery[33:04] How did the NYT get this so wrong?[37:44] Was the revolution fought to preserve slavery?[44:00] What did Jefferson think about slavery?[49:26] The NYT refused to correct the record[56:03] How slavery began to be abolished[1:05:41] Slavery isn’t an American institution[1:12:04] They hate capitalism more than racism[1:20:02] Phil’s Twitter battle with Nikole Hannah-Jones[1:31:48] The economics of slavery[1:38:32] How should we teach about slavery?_____________________________________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/ycJNLJ7bhKwMake 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

  The Real Reason Gen Z Doesn’t Care About 1776 03.07.2026 47min

  Most Americans can quote a line or two of the Declaration of Independence, but almost no one has actually read the whole thing. Today I'm going line by line to unpack what Jefferson was actually arguing and why it matters even more now than it did in 1776.A generation raised with little independence and everything on demand can’t fully understand the values woven into the Declaration and how they apply today. In 2026, it isn’t all that suprising that Gen Z is increasingly pro-socialism and anti-patriotism.Our creed won't pass itself on. That's our job as parents._____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-real-reason-gen-z-doesnt-care?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true_____________________________________Ready to give MASA a try?

  “It Began With a Gigantic Lie” - Harvard Western Civ Professor Resigns 02.07.2026 2h 22min

  I sat down with historian James Hankins, who recently resigned from Harvard after 40 years, to discuss why academia abandoned Western civilization, the institutional mechanisms that silence dissent, and how we can embrace the Western roots of America in the 21st century.We get into:* Why he left Harvard and joined the Hamilton School in Florida* How fear of student backlash silences even tenured professors* What happened to Harvard’s commitment to Western civilization* Why teaching “global history” misses the point of education* The link between Christianity, liberalism, and capitalism* The classical education movement as antidote to institutional rot* Why America needs to reclaim its Western heritage_____________________________________Ready to give MASA a try?

  Our Government Was Never Meant to Look Like This 26.06.2026 1h 3min

  The United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. Today I'm going back to the original text of the Constitution to uncover what it actually says, and just as importantly, what it doesn't.The Constitution never mentions health, education, or retirement. The president was never meant to wield this much power. The Senate was never supposed to be directly elected. And the First Amendment almost wasn't about free speech at all.The Founding Fathers didn't trust pure democracy. After 250 years, it's pretty clear they were right._____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/p/our-government-was-never-meant-to?r=24ayxm_____________________________________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/kJ6QRZgFi5sMake 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

  American History Has Been Weaponized Against Us - Jack Henneman 25.06.2026 2h 31min

  I sat down with Jack Henneman, host of the “History of the Americans” podcast, to discuss the early history of the American colonies, the weaponization of history for political purposes, and why judging the past by today’s standards corrupts our ability to understand it.We get into:* Why Jack launched a podcast to read American history from the very beginning* How the New York Times weaponized the 1619 Project to reshape history education* How Spain’s conquest of the New World set the stage for English colonization* Why the Puritans and the Virginia planters built two completely different Americas* How the Dutch built the most important city in history trading beaver fur and guns* What the arrival of Africans at Jamestown in 1619 actually tells us about the origins of slavery* Why conflicts broke out between Native Americans and European settlers* What the great men of history can teach us about our own blind spots_____________________________________Follow Jack Henneman on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/TheHistoryOfTh2?s=20“The History of the Americans” podcast: https://thehistoryoftheamericans.com/Read Jack’s writings on Substack: https://jackhenneman.substack.com/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] The History of the Americans podcast[4:11] The fundamental flaw of the 1619 Project[15:59] Spanish settlement of America[30:41] The rise of English America[34:45] Why New England Puritans were so successful[44:41] The aristocratic culture of the South[49:55] How slavery became the norm in the South[55:56] What was Bacon’s Rebellion?[1:00:58] The Native Americans of New England[1:08:10] Where did Thanksgiving actually come from?[1:16:03] The 400-year decline of Native Americans[1:20:47] Dutch settlement of New York[1:30:09] John Winthrop’s “City on a Hill”[1:34:47] Why Pennsylvania was Quaker[1:46:16] The Catholic colony of Maryland[1:49:17] Why slavery became more violent[1:56:14] How to read history as an amateur[2:08:37] What’s the point of studying history?[2:15:56] Ideas, ideology, and identity[2:21:12] What is an “American”?_____________________________________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/wuEvVZwYc7MMake 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

  The UK Learned to Hate Itself. Is America on the Same Path? 19.06.2026 1h 10min

  The world comes to America for the World Cup and falls in love. Europeans are singing our songs, losing their minds at Buc-ee's, and telling us we don't know how good we have it. Meanwhile, Rupert Lowe just released his 200-page report on the UK’s decades-long grooming gang disaster. The UK government now wants to ban social media for teenagers and arrest people for saying the wrong words online.America is basking in global admiration. Britain is facing a civilizational reckoning. The question is whether we understand what makes the difference, and whether American fathers are willing to fight to keep it that way._____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-uk-learned-to-hate-itself-is?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true_____________________________________Head to https://cozyearth.com/ and use my code DSA for up to 20% off!

  George Soros, Birthright Citizenship, and the Lost Constitution - Randy Barnett 11.06.2026 2h 6min

  I sat down with Georgetown University constitutional law professor and originalist scholar Randy Barnett to discuss his books on his time as a Chicago prosecutor, how the Supreme Court has reinterpreted the 14th Amendment, and whether Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions should be upheld by the Court.We get into:* How George Soros changed prosecution from a nonpartisan job into an ideological one* The missing Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment* Why the DEI framework contradicts the original meaning of the Equal Protection Clause* What libertarians have gotten wrong about public infrastructure and private power* The meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction” and why Trump’s argument is stronger than the media admits* Why creed and culture have to reinforce each other for a free society to survive_____________________________________Make the switch to real oral care.

  The Barbarians Are Inside the Gates… and We Invited Them 06.06.2026 1h 13min

  New York City elects a Muslim socialist immigrant as mayor. British police give preferential treatment to non-white criminals while arresting white victims as they bleed out on the street. Europe held back Muslim invaders for hundreds of years, but now its major cities are upwards of 10% Muslim.The left condemns the West while cheering its conquest by Islamic civilization. The question is, which side of the Red-Green alliance is the useful idiot and which holds the real power?_____________________________________Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-barbarians-are-inside-the-gates?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true_____________________________________See fewer carts go abandoned and more sales go with Shopify and their Shop Pay button.
