In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Alvin Lui, president of Courage is a Habit, to expose how the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has systematically embedded DEI and gender ideology into K-12 counseling nationwide. We break down their investigative report that reveals how school counselors have transformed from reactive guidance counselors into proactive "social change agents" who work one-on-one with children—often keeping secrets from parents. Alvin explains the dangerous tactics of "language contamination," where terms like "anti-bullying," "mental health," and "safe spaces" are weaponized to push transgender ideology and critical race theory while silencing dissenting students and parents. This isn't just happening in blue states—it's a systemic problem in all 50 states, funded by mental health grants that parents unknowingly support through their tax dollars. Whether your kids are in public school or you know someone whose children are, this conversation is essential viewing. We dis

Is America witnessing a quiet Christian revival - and why does it terrify the cultural gatekeepers? For decades, Christians were told to sit down, shut up, and stay out of politics. That faith belonged in private. That masculinity was toxic. That truth was negotiable. But something has shifted. Young men are pushing back. Churches are filling back up. And a generation raised on chaos is searching for meaning, order, and moral clarity - whether the culture likes it or not.In this episode, I’m joined by Bryce Eddy to break down why Christian values are re-entering public life, why Gen Z men are rejecting secular nonsense, and why politics can never be separated from belief systems. We dig into masculinity, persuasion vs arguing, Charlie Kirk’s legacy, weak men vs dangerous men, and why selling good ideas matters more than winning debates. This isn’t about nostalgia - it’s about whether a free society can survive without a moral foundation. Order ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ (⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠) for 15% off and take

What if the real solution to struggling schools isn’t another government program, but something radically simpler - dignity, incentives, and personal responsibility?

Is artificial intelligence about to change American elections the same way social media changed politics in 2008? What happens when campaigns stop broadcasting messages and start listening at scale? Could AI become the most powerful organizing tool politics has ever seen - or the most dangerous? And why does the next breakthrough candidate probably look nothing like what we’re used to?

This isn’t about memes or deepfakes - it’s about power, trust, feedback, and whether technology can strengthen democracy instead of hollowing it out. If you care about elections, liberty, and the future of political enga

On this week's Mean Age Daydream, leftist pigs of Hollywood totally Orwell the Orwell by rewriting "Animal Farm" as anti-capitalism. Andy Serkis is a hack. Also: Trump ramps up actions in Venezuela, Facebook finds out anti-white racism is the big problem on social media, and Trump might just reschedule weed.

Is retail dying or are we just doing sales completely wrong? Everyone keeps yelling about online shopping, the economy, and why “nobody wants to buy anything,” but what if the real problem is the way we’re showing up in front of customers?

What happens when the corporate press still shapes reality for millions of Americans... and you’re trying to break through with the truth?
