Matt Kibbe on the Deep State, Fauci, and the COVID Coverup
I sat down with Matt Kibbe, libertarian activist and founder of Free the People, to talk about his documentary series “The Coverup,” which exposes COVID-era malfeasance, America’s corrupt bureaucratic machine, and the failure of the “expert class,” best embodied by Anthony Fauci himself. Matt’s activism dates back to the early days of the Tea Party movement, where he took the tactics that leftists had perfected over decades and successfully wielded them for the anti-big-government, pro-liberty cause. Reinvigorated by COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates, he sees hope in the new, anti-authoritarian coalition that transcends left-versus-right politics—it’s We the People versus the Deep State._____________________________________Follow Matt on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/mkibbeWatch “The Coverup”: https://www.blazetv.com/series/71poNfD6H4OK-the-coverupLearn more about Free the People:https://freethepeople.org/_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Organizing the Tea Party wave[14:34] The new coalition crosses left and right[19:23] Activism, fundraising, and corporate corruption[25:44] Speaking out against COVID lockdowns[34:03] How “public health” was militarized after 9/11[46:29] COVID could’ve been so much worse[48:40] Bureaucracy isn’t just wasteful—it’s dangerous[50:57] Pandemics and authoritarianism go hand-in-hand[53:09] “The science” is just technocratic fascism[58:59] Every pandemic is exaggerated to create panic[1:02:17] Is the “private vs. public” distinction actually real?[1:11:14] “The experts” won’t save us, but the people can_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/icnMGAFC-RsMake 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

The Sexual Revolution Ruined Millennials. Will Gen Z Get It Right? - Aleks Svetski
I sat down with Aleks Svetski, author of “The UnCommunist Manifesto” and “The Bushido of Bitcoin,” to discuss why socialism fails, the fallout of the sexual revolution, and Bitcoin’s potential for our future. The Millennial generation was the test case for absolute gender equality—even to the point of ignoring biology—and now Gen Z is searching for different solutions, from full-blown communism to hard-core traditionalism. We dig into why socialists misunderstand the world, the need for values beyond economics, and I ask Aleks some questions I have about Bitcoin._____________________________________Follow Aleks on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/AleksSvetskiAleks on Substack: https://substack.com/@svetskiwrites”The UnCommunist Manifesto”: https://a.co/d/icDKFRI“The Bushido of Bitcoin”: https://a.co/d/fjBEd8G_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] “The UnCommunist Manifesto”[4:39] Will the Mamdani trend last?[14:24] How to talk someone out of socialism[25:52] Deploying capital effectively and efficiently[32:51] Learning the messy reality of business[46:44] Leftists care more about animals than family[54:32] Why do we romanticize the noble savage?[1:01:11] Economics doesn’t describe all of life[1:10:53] Masculinity, femininity, and reality[1:32:31] How conservatives lost the sexual revolution[1:42:39] Love, respect, and authority[1:53:19] Is AI revolutionary or overhyped?[2:00:11] Can we trust that Bitcoin will survive?[2:28:58] The morality of monetary systems[2:41:16] Equality, fairness, and justice[2:48:56] Dependence is dehumanizing[2:54:58] Parenting is about modeling_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eiEsteZojb8Make 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

Peter Boghossian: Can We Still Find Common Ground in the Wake of Charlie Kirk?
I sat down with philosopher and author Peter Boghossian to wrestle with America’s deepening fracture. Why are so many people cheering political violence, and what—if anything—can pull us back? Ideological capture throughout the education system has broken our engines of knowledge production, turning them into “indoctrination mills” and teaching young Americans to see opponents as existential threats. Is reform even possible at this point? Peter makes the case for burning it all down—or, more accurately, for making these institutions pay the cost of their vices and watching them collapse under their own weight._____________________________________Follow Peter on X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/peterboghossianPeter on Substack: https://boghossian.substack.com/Peter on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drpeterboghossian/featured_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Charlie Kirk’s murder revealed a deep divide[5:11] Can we reform away political bias on campus?[15:01] Am I a hypocrite with my own son?[22:13] TikTok, disinformation, and echo chambers[32:09] Should government restrict vices?[39:41] What are do “left” and “right” mean in 2025?[49:24] Destroy the institutions but forgive the individuals[59:11] The left needs to come back to the table[1:06:22] Does the left offer anything to our society?[1:16:38] Can we agree on some neutral principles?[1:32:08] What if we just banned the crazies?[1:37:20] Money printing is the ultimate luxury belief[1:42:01] We will eventually pay the price for our vices_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L-cFuqD_G7cMake 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

Bret Weinstein on Genetic Tribalism and the Global Backlash Against Jews - Part 2
I sat down with evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein to explore how evolution can help make sense of tribalism, religion, and the ongoing war in Gaza. He shares his experience commenting on the Israel-Palestine conflict and the simultaneous resurgence and weaponization of antisemitism, speaking both as a scientist and as an American Jew who doesn’t see his views reflected by either major camp. Bret warns against embracing our genetic programming for "lineage-against-lineage" displacement, rather than the collaborative spirit that built Western civilization._____________________________________Follow Bret on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/BretWeinsteinWatch the Darkhorse Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DarkHorsePod/featuredPurchase a copy of “A Hunter-Gather’s Guide to the 21st Century”: https://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Gatherers-Guide-21st-Century-Challenges/dp/0593086880_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] Evolution of culture and religion[12:32] Antisemitism and conspiracy thinking[20:38] How Israeli policy impacts Jews globally[26:42] Nazi Twitter went mainstream[33:17] John’s take on Israel-Palestine[42:30] Bret’s evolutionary take on the Gaza War[52:26] How genes get into the future[1:01:08] Is Christianity evolutionarily adaptive?[1:10:26] We aren’t fit for the world we’ve built_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3avvi_qwdxkMake 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

Bret Weinstein on Epstein, Globalization, and How Our Institutions Went Insane - Part 1
I sat down with evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein to unpack how behind-the-scenes power and perverse incentives have hollowed out America’s institutions. Bret argues that issues like the Epstein saga, COVID propaganda, and transgender ideology have exposed a deeper problem: elites wield leverage out of sight while government, media, and universities rely on theatrical, so-called “expertise” to bolster public authority. Our institutions so consistently engage in the exact inverse of good governance and common sense that many Americans are left wondering what remains of our democratic republic—and whether the West can be pulled back from the brink._____________________________________Follow Bret on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/BretWeinsteinWatch the Darkhorse Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DarkHorsePod/featuredPurchase a copy of “A Hunter-Gather’s Guide to the 21st Century”: https://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Gatherers-Guide-21st-Century-Challenges/dp/0593086880_____________________________________Outline:[0:00] What’s going on with the Epstein files?[17:30] The internet and dysfunctional governance[22:00] Why modern institutions agree on bad ideas[33:30] Corrupt the incentives, corrupt the elite[42:42] Can the Constitution survive globalization?[50:25] Are we evolving towards virtual community?[1:00:10] When governments turn on their own people[1:07:38] The battle between “us” and “them”_____________________________________Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DmcaH_Gkj9cMake 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
