    The Real Reason Gen Z Doesn’t Care About 1776

    Most Americans can quote a line or two of the Declaration of Independence, but almost no one has actually read the whole thing. Today I'm going line by line to unpack what Jefferson was actually arguing and why it matters even more now than it did in 1776. A generation raised with little independence and everything on demand can’t fully understand the values woven into the Declaration and how they apply today. In 2026, it isn’t all that suprising that Gen Z is increasingly pro-socialism and anti-patriotism. Our creed won't pass itself on. That's our job as parents. _____________________________________ Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-real-reason-gen-z-doesnt-care?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true _____________________________________ Ready to give MASA a try?

    “It Began With a Gigantic Lie” - Harvard Western Civ Professor Resigns

    I sat down with historian James Hankins, who recently resigned from Harvard after 40 years, to discuss why academia abandoned Western civilization, the institutional mechanisms that silence dissent, and how we can embrace the Western roots of America in the 21st century. We get into: * Why he left Harvard and joined the Hamilton School in Florida * How fear of student backlash silences even tenured professors * What happened to Harvard’s commitment to Western civilization * Why teaching “global history” misses the point of education * The link between Christianity, liberalism, and capitalism * The classical education movement as antidote to institutional rot * Why America needs to reclaim its Western heritage _____________________________________ Ready to give MASA a try?

    Our Government Was Never Meant to Look Like This

    The United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. Today I'm going back to the original text of the Constitution to uncover what it actually says, and just as importantly, what it doesn't. The Constitution never mentions health, education, or retirement. The president was never meant to wield this much power. The Senate was never supposed to be directly elected. And the First Amendment almost wasn't about free speech at all. The Founding Fathers didn't trust pure democracy. After 250 years, it's pretty clear they were right. _____________________________________ Check my sources over on Substack: https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/p/our-government-was-never-meant-to?r=24ayxm _____________________________________ 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/kJ6QRZgFi5s 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

    American History Has Been Weaponized Against Us - Jack Henneman

    I sat down with Jack Henneman, host of the “History of the Americans” podcast, to discuss the early history of the American colonies, the weaponization of history for political purposes, and why judging the past by today’s standards corrupts our ability to understand it. We get into: * Why Jack launched a podcast to read American history from the very beginning * How the New York Times weaponized the 1619 Project to reshape history education * How Spain’s conquest of the New World set the stage for English colonization * Why the Puritans and the Virginia planters built two completely different Americas * How the Dutch built the most important city in history trading beaver fur and guns * What the arrival of Africans at Jamestown in 1619 actually tells us about the origins of slavery * Why conflicts broke out between Native Americans and European settlers * What the great men of history can teach us about our own blind spots _____________________________________ Follow Jack Henneman on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/TheHistoryOfTh2?s=20 “The History of the Americans” podcast: https://thehistoryoftheamericans.com/ Read Jack’s writings on Substack: https://jackhenneman.substack.com/ _____________________________________ Outline: [0:00] The History of the Americans podcast [4:11] The fundamental flaw of the 1619 Project [15:59] Spanish settlement of America [30:41] The rise of English America [34:45] Why New England Puritans were so successful [44:41] The aristocratic culture of the South [49:55] How slavery became the norm in the South [55:56] What was Bacon’s Rebellion?

    The UK Learned to Hate Itself. Is America on the Same Path?

    The world comes to America for the World Cup and falls in love. Europeans are singing our songs, losing their minds at Buc-ee's, and telling us we don't know how good we have it. Meanwhile, Rupert Lowe just released his 200-page report on the UK’s decades-long grooming gang disaster. The UK government now wants to ban social media for teenagers and arrest people for saying the wrong words online. America is basking in global admiration. Britain is facing a civilizational reckoning. The question is whether we understand what makes the difference, and whether American fathers are willing to fight to keep it that way. _____________________________________ Check my sources over on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/dadsavesamerica/p/the-uk-learned-to-hate-itself-is?r=24ayxm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true _____________________________________ Head to https://cozyearth.com/ and use my code DSA for up to 20% off!

    Left VS Right Is Over. Federalism Is Our Way Out. - Tony Woodlief

    I sat down with Tony Woodlief to discuss federalism, the collapse of left-right politics, and what it takes to raise kids through suffering. We get into: * Why federalism was the Founding Fathers’ most important contribution to governance * Whether Mamdani’s New York will teach Americans the pitfalls of socialism * The truth about political polarization and geographic sorting * How federal agencies regulate your life without a single vote or legal basis * Why we should shrink school districts back to the neighborhood level * How revolution vs status quo is replacing left vs right * The libertarian blindspot for community and interdependence * What happens to a father when he can’t protect his child * The moment that changed how Tony raises his son * How the Orthodox Church helped Tony put his life back together * What makes the Constitution work, and where things break down _____________________________________ Go to cape.co/dadsavesamerica and use code DADSAVESAMERICA33 to get 33% off your first six months. _____________________________________ Head to cozyearth.com and use my code DSA for up to 20% off!

    The Race Hustler Narrative Is on Life Support

    Bari Weiss fires Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes and he compares it to losing a spouse. Karmelo Anthony's supporters call his conviction racist. Black YouTubers discover that the 1619 Project history taught in school is a lie. The institutions we were told to trust have been exposed as propaganda operations. Online, people are waking up, but too many remain stuck in the legacy media echo chamber.

    George Soros, Birthright Citizenship, and the Lost Constitution - Randy Barnett

    I sat down with Georgetown University constitutional law professor and originalist scholar Randy Barnett to discuss his books on his time as a Chicago prosecutor, how the Supreme Court has reinterpreted the 14th Amendment, and whether Trump’s birthright citizenship restrictions should be upheld by the Court. We get into: * How George Soros changed prosecution from a nonpartisan job into an ideological one * The missing Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment * Why the DEI framework contradicts the original meaning of the Equal Protection Clause * What libertarians have gotten wrong about public infrastructure and private power * The meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction” and why Trump’s argument is stronger than the media admits * Why creed and culture have to reinforce each other for a free society to survive _____________________________________ Make the switch to real oral care.
