Dad Saves America

1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to a dysfunctional public school as a political statement, and is now paying the price. For years, socialists like Hasan Piker have flirted with banning private schools altogether under the theory that enrolling rich kids in failing schools can magically fix them. Universal public schooling, once a safety net for those who couldn’t afford a private school, has transformed into educational prison.
None of this is unique to education. In Canada, “universal” healthcare has become a death-panel hellscape, with sick patients being offered assisted suicide as if it were a legitimate medical treatment. The same people who want to control what your child is taught in school want to decide when you’re “too sick” to deserve care.
While disturbing, none of this should come as a surprise. In a free market, competition expands supply and brings costs down. In a government monopoly, competition is outlawed. Once they lock in their monopoly, you have no other choice.

I sat down with Ben Slivka, an early Microsoft executive who led the team that built Internet Explorer, served 20 years on Northwestern University’s Board of Trustees, and has spent decades since as an angel investor across biotech, space, and software startups.
We get into:
* How cowardice became the norm in university leadership
* Why the public school model fails so many students
* His 1995 Microsoft memo that correctly predicted the internet revolution
* The truth about the Microsoft antitrust case and why “monopoly” is a misleading term
* Why he believes that we’re in a massive AI bubble
* His investment in Stoke Space, SpaceX’s real competitor for reusable rockets
* What he calls the “four horsemen of the woke apocalypse”
* America’s historically unprecedented capacity for innovation

AI researcher Jacob Coxon quit his job at Anthropic last week and became a whistleblower, warning that the race toward superintelligent AI is "gambling with our lives." Another Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, backed him up, putting the odds of AI apocalypse within a decade at over 10%. Then, Anthropic published a 154-page AI safety report on all sorts of alarming ways the technology is evolving.
Anthropic was founded as an AI-safety-conscious competitor to OpenAI. It’s company culture is heavily influenced by effective altruism, a utilitarian philosophy that attempts to optimize the wellbeing of the entire planet and every future person yet to be born.
So, should these dark predictions be taken seriously, or are they the ravings of paranoid ideologues? And our the panicked response, will we end up running head-first into a government regulation disaster?

I sat down with historian of early Christianity Matthew Larsen, Ph.D., fresh off his shoot in the Middle East tracing the life of Paul the Apostle, to dig into the evidence for Jesus, the biblical canon, and the Catholic Church.
We get into:
* How historians actually know what’s true about the ancient past
* Why the “Jesus never existed” theory keeps resurfacing online
* Where Wes Huff’s viral apologetics differ from real historical scholarship
* Why the idea that “Paul invented Christianity” is a 19th century German myth
* How the Apostolic Fathers reveal a strikingly Catholic early church
* What actually happened at the Council of Nicaea
* Matt’s personal journey from evangelicalism to the Catholic Church

Zohran Mamdani just appointed Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who once represented an Al Qaeda member, as New York City's chief legal counsel. This sparked outrage from 9/11 families and a petition demanding that he not attend this year’s 9/11 memorial collected more than 100,000 signatures.
A hundred million Americans have been born since 9/11, and campus interviews reveal that many were never taught who attacked us or why. Osama Bin Laden's “Letter to America” went viral on TikTok a couple years ago as if it were a revelation rather than propaganda.
Twenty five years after 9/11, some have forgotten the first major crisis of the century, and others have rewritten the story.
