The Cornell 7 Scandal Exposed the Biggest Lie of Feminism
2026/10/17
The Cornell 7 case has reignited the campus sexual assault panic of the mid-2010s. Jane Doe's own written statements described the events as consensual, but her story later transformed into a serious criminal allegation. Unlike the Duke lacrosse hoax, which turned out to be an outright fabrication, this case is more ambiguous in both the accusations made and the culture they emerged from. Even so, the public outcry pulls on the same debunked statistics about campus sexual assault that turned colleges into Title IX kangaroo courts in the first place. Rather than a salacious true crime saga, the real story here is what the sexual revolution has done to our kids. The pill made sex cheap, hookup culture replaced courtship, and birthrates collapsed. Who's going to teach our kids a better way if we don't? _____________________________________ 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.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left REALLY Hates the Middle Class
2026/10/15
I sat down with Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of the “The Counterrevolution”. Victor is a Stanford PhD who still lives on his family’s Central Valley farm that five generations of Hansons have called home, giving him a rare view of both the academic elite and the working Americans they look down on. We get into: * Trump’s counterrevolution against 50 years of progressive rule * Why America still dominates the world economy * The 2016 dinner where Peter Thiel predicted Trump’s win * Why the fall of Iran’s regime could be another Berlin Wall moment * How the DSA took over the Democratic Party * The battle between the credentialed class and middle America _____________________________________ 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.

France’s "Mostly Peaceful Jihad” Threatens the Whole Christian West
2026/10/09
For the past three weeks, riots have spread across France. The corporate press is calling them mostly peaceful protests over school funding. Meanwhile, student rioters are singing jihadi rap. Second and third generation Muslim immigrants are radicalizing against the very country that raised them. At the same time, 800,000 French Catholics gathered in Paris for Pope Leo’s recent visit. Two Frances are fighting over the same country. A West that has forgotten its Christian roots no longer knows how to love its neighbor without surrendering to him. If Christians won't defend the civilization their faith built, who will? _____________________________________ 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.

How White Guilt Became the Most Powerful Weapon in Politics - Eli & Shelby Steele
2026/10/08
I sat down with Shelby Steele, an author and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and his son Eli Steele, the filmmaker behind “What Killed Michael Brown?” Together, they’ve produced a new documentary, “White Guilt,” that brings Shelby’s 2006 book into the present political climate. Shelby has lived the whole story, from segregation to Black Power militancy to now decades as a fearless dissenter on race. We get into: * What white guilt really is, and why it became a source of black power * How the left used collective guilt to claim moral innocence * Shelby’s journey from black radicalism to conservatism * How American racial politics were grafted onto the Israel-Palestine conflict * Eldridge Cleaver’s transformation from Black Panther to Reagan voter * Why BLM denies the racial progress of the past 60 years * Why courage is the only way past racial identity politics _____________________________________ 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 Take control of your water quality today.

Trump's Going All-In on AI. Will His Midterm Gamble Pay Off?
2026/10/02
On Tuesday, the CEOs of Nvidia, Google, Meta, xAI, Anthropic, and more joined President Trump to discuss the development of AI, or, as the President has rebranded it, Super Intelligence. While they’ve signed a voluntary pledge to police AI safety, Democrats want Washington to step in instead, as if government standards do anything other than destroy innovation. Americans invented this technology, but we're among the most pessimistic people on Earth about it. Only 36% of Americans expect AI to mostly help the country, compared to 93% in China. Trump is backing data centers anyway, just weeks before the midterms. The same day, the administration launched America.gov, an AI-powered front page for federal government services. Big government gave us the HealthCare.gov disaster. AI might finally give us a government that works, and a bureaucracy whose days are numbered. _____________________________________ 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.

Bad Therapy, Gender, and Lindsay Clancy Psychosis - Andrew Hartz, Ph.D.
2026/10/01
I sat down with Andrew Hartz, a practicing clinical psychologist and the founder of the Open Therapy Institute. His organization is working to filter out the political bias that has become endemic in mental health care and connect patients with therapists they can trust. We get into: * The woke insanity inside the American Psychological Association * How to find a therapist who will actually help you * Why disability benefits prove the role of agency in mental health * What the Lindsay Clancy case revealed about the legal system * Mass formation psychosis and social media addiction * Why our culture overlooks male strengths, and what that’s doing to boys * The rush to affirm gender dysphoria without evidence _____________________________________ 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.

Big-Government Progressivism Is a Su*cide Pact
2026/09/26
1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to a dysfunctional public school as a political statement, and is now paying the price. For years, socialists like Hasan Piker have flirted with banning private schools altogether under the theory that enrolling rich kids in failing schools can magically fix them. Universal public schooling, once a safety net for those who couldn’t afford a private school, has transformed into educational prison. None of this is unique to education. In Canada, “universal” healthcare has become a death-panel hellscape, with sick patients being offered assisted suicide as if it were a legitimate medical treatment. The same people who want to control what your child is taught in school want to decide when you’re “too sick” to deserve care. While disturbing, none of this should come as a surprise. In a free market, competition expands supply and brings costs down. In a government monopoly, competition is outlawed. Once they lock in their monopoly, you have no other choice. _____________________________________ Take control of your water quality today.

Ben Slivka Predicted the Internet Era. He Doesn't Buy the Hype About AI.

I sat down with Ben Slivka, an early Microsoft executive who led the team that built Internet Explorer, served 20 years on Northwestern University’s Board of Trustees, and has spent decades since as an angel investor across biotech, space, and software startups. We get into: * How cowardice became the norm in university leadership * Why the public school model fails so many students * His 1995 Microsoft memo that correctly predicted the internet revolution * The truth about the Microsoft antitrust case and why “monopoly” is a misleading term * Why he believes that we’re in a massive AI bubble * His investment in Stoke Space, SpaceX’s real competitor for reusable rockets * What he calls the “four horsemen of the woke apocalypse” * America’s historically unprecedented capacity for innovation _____________________________________ 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.

The Anthropic Whistleblower Is Not Who You Think He Is
2026/09/19
AI researcher Jacob Coxon quit his job at Anthropic last week and became a whistleblower, warning that the race toward superintelligent AI is "gambling with our lives." Another Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, backed him up, putting the odds of AI apocalypse within a decade at over 10%. Then, Anthropic published a 154-page AI safety report on all sorts of alarming ways the technology is evolving. Anthropic was founded as an AI-safety-conscious competitor to OpenAI. It’s company culture is heavily influenced by effective altruism, a utilitarian philosophy that attempts to optimize the wellbeing of the entire planet and every future person yet to be born. So, should these dark predictions be taken seriously, or are they the ravings of paranoid ideologues? And our the panicked response, will we end up running head-first into a government regulation disaster? _____________________________________ 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.

Catholic Historian: Here’s Why We Know That the Bible Is True
2026/09/17
I sat down with historian of early Christianity Matthew Larsen, Ph.D., fresh off his shoot in the Middle East tracing the life of Paul the Apostle, to dig into the evidence for Jesus, the biblical canon, and the Catholic Church.

25 Years After 9/11: How “Never Forget” Became “We Deserved It”
2026/09/12
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.

I Interviewed the 9/11 Mastermind’s Family. Here’s What I Discovered. - Richard Miniter
2026/09/10
I sat down with investigative journalist and author Richard Miniter to reflect on the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Richard has spent decades reporting national security and foreign policy issues and has interviewed Islamist radicals, intelligence officials, and others across the globe. We get into: * Why political radicalism and terrorism attract elites * How Western life radicalized Mohamed Atta and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed * Osama Bin Laden’s trajectory from construction tycoon heir to jihadist * How terror cells use hazing intermarriage to lock in commitment * The problem with Ron Paul’s “blowback” theory of Islamic terrorism * How bureaucratic turf wars left America vulnerable on 9/11 * The PATRIOT Act and the limits of 4th Amendment rights _____________________________________ 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 Protect your privacy on the cellular level with Cape at https://cape.co/dadsavesamerica.

Bond Market Breakdown: Are We Headed for Another Fall Financial Crisis?
2026/09/05
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.

The Sexual Revolution “Liberated” Adults. But What About the Kids? - Katy Faust
2026/09/03
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
2026/08/28
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/4AusNBM64Ls Make 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
