Critical race theory is something we hadn't been paying close attention to until lately. But once we did...we feel like it's something everyone should be concerned about. If you listen to supporters describe it, you might think CRT was about being critical about racism, or about trying to stamp out the last vestiges of racism, things which nearly all reasonable people agree upon. But that's not what critical race theory is about at all. Critical race theory is the notion that ALL white people are racist and the world is divided into oppressors and the oppressed.
Does this sound like a program that would promote unity? It doesn't promote unity at all. In fact, unity isn't even the goal. The goal is to promote socialism and to do that you have to divide people. In the past socialists divided people into the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. That obviously won't in America because we don't have any proletariats so the socialist found a new way to divide people. It's not about race... it's about division, and it will succeed if we don't stop it.

Social media censorship is totally out of control. In this episode we examine some of the more outrageous examples in the news lately and examine the double-standard that seems to apply warning labels and fact checkers notices to conservative content only. Why aren't some of Joe Biden's tweets marked as "disputed" as so many of Donald Trump's tweets are marked? Isn't that the basic point of politics? One side says something and the other side "disputes" it as both sides try to get people to agree with them? The arena of ideas has become a joke as Twitter and Facebook try ever harder to get everyone to think the "right" way.
Even Google prevents you from finding out inconvenient facts, such as the story of Eric Swalwell (hint: the genius Congressman was sleeping with a Chinese spy for YEARS) and Hunter Biden (hint: the son of Joe left a laptop full of compromising material for repair and never bothered to pick it up, which made it the lawful property of the shop).
Is there anything the left and right can agree on? Surely we can agree on the need to feel that our elections are fair. We discuss the feeling of frustration Republicans around the country are feeling. What's up with the Supreme Court? Vaccine tracking comes to New Hampshire and we don't like the principle.
We end with the question of what can the average citizen do? Our answer? For starters, you can respectfully model freedom! That's what we have started to do.
While the media proclaims that Biden won and Trump is trying to overturn the election, we wonder "what exactly is he doing to make this case?" We think he's trying to prove that he won but with Sidney Powell supposedly out and Trump eerily quiet speculation abounds.
A peaceful transition of power is one of America's unique strengths but that only happens when the populace has faith in the election, and we don't as things stand. Recent polls suggest 77% of Republicans and a whopping 30% of Democrats think the election was rigged.
So what is Trump doing about it? What can we do about it?
If Trump loses in the end we need to remember that we kept the Senate so there will be no court packing, no adding states, etc. Biden will end up with gridlock, as the founders designed it. Trump is a fighter, and if anyone can beat this onslaught of fraud it’s him. And, he made so many court appointments at all levels his legacy will be felt for decades. Either way we conservatives need to become more active than we have ever been.
President Trump saw the swearing in of his third Supreme Court Justice this week, and liberal heads around the country exploded. Why? What's so awful about Justice Barrett? Chris and Alan dive into the topic.
In this first episode, Chris and Alan introduce themselves and the point of the podcast, which is to discuss freedom, liberty, responsibility, and empowerment.
