A Happy and Meaningful Veterans Day

 

Seth wishes the audience a happy and meaningful Veterans Day! Seth expresses concern about the lack of knowledge among young adults about American history and the consequences of this ignorance. He cites a survey that found 20% of college students believe the United States deserved the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks, and uses this as an example of the problems that arise when history is not taught properly. Listener call-in’s about Temecula wines, the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations, Veterans Day, and the notion that some young people believe America “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Seth also touches on the topic of the Iranian Revolution and the myth that the U.S. overthrew a democratically-elected government in 1953, citing the work of Eli Lake, who has written extensively on this topic. He argues that this myth has been perpetuated by Leftist historians and is not supported by the facts.
