What You Need to Know is in 2024, politics is downstream from politics. Andrew Breitbart often said “culture is upstream of politics.” There is some truth to this statement, especially in American history. Today, though, the government has grown so centralized and so powerful that it’s telling the culture what it should be. American culture follows behind things like no fault divorce, Roe v. Wade, and other government projects. For culture to drive the government, the government has to be small, but when the CIA digs its influence into places like Hollywood for propaganda’s sake, it’s hard to say that culture has an independent direction.

Dr. Rainer Zitelmann, author of 26 books, most recently including Unbreakable Spirit: Rising Above All Odds, joins Ed to discuss his new book. Dr. Zitelmann tells Ed about the stories of those who rose above all odds to achieve victory. The book is meant to be motivating for everyone, disabled or not. A victimhood mentality is terrible, he says, and no matter one’s lot in life they should not turn themselves into a victim.e

Josiah Lippincott, Marine veteran, PhD candidate at Hillsdale College, and author, joins Ed to discuss his recent co-authored piece: ‘Draining the Pentagon Swamp’. Josiah and Ed discuss the proper Constitutional limits on the military, as well as the importance of having a civilian Commander-in-chief. They also discuss the improper conduct by military personnel like General Milley.

Wrap Up: The January 6 Select Committee has spent 4 years brainwashing the people of D.C. and persecuting conservatives. Now Peter Navarro, who served in the Trump Administration for four years, has been sentenced to 4 months in jail, despite no illegal conduct on his part.
