Charlie welcomes the president of Hillsdale College, Dr. Larry Arnn, who is also one of the preeminent scholars of American history and the Founding Fathers. Charlie and Dr. Arnn sit down for a deep dive into the significance of America's birthday, July 4th, when the Founders proclaimed to the world a series of universal truths about the life and liberty of man, and pledged that "solemn acts of devotion" would be performed for "from this time forward." Why did these brave patriots pledge "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" on this great day in 1776? As pride in America reaches historic lows, allow Dr. Arnn to remind you of our great inheritance. Next up, Charlie welcomes Pedro Gonzalez, associate editor of Chronicles Magazine and whose writings are also available at contra.substack.com. "Friday thought crimes with Pedro" explores a recent, viral clip from current Biden administration official and Blackrock alum, Brian Deese, claiming that Americans must continue to sacrifice in the name of the international liberal world order. Pedro recounts the promises of neoliberalism, how those promises have short changed the American experiment and everyday citizens, and why the ideological underpinnings of this ideology are being manipulated to great effect by those in power in Washington.
