Dad Saves America

I sat down with Katharine Birbalsingh, headmistress of Michaela Community School and the UK’s most outspoken voice on education, to mark the launch of our new YouTube collaboration, Strictly Education. Katharine runs one of the strictest schools in the UK, for mostly disadvantaged students from immigrant families, and gets some of the best results in the country. Her solution to the failure of modern schooling isn’t about funding, racial politics, or experimenting with radical teaching methods. It’s discipline, structure, and a return to the values our grandparents understood instinctively.
We get into:
* Why shame, done right, is essential to raising well behaved kids
* How gentle parenting and white guilt are burning down Western civilization
* Why the left refuses to try proven solutions in education
* The consequences of failing to teach our true history
* Why AI can never replace the relationship a great teacher builds with a child
* Her case for government intervention regarding social media and smartphones
* The vision behind Strictly Education and why she wanted to team up with Dad Saves America

Socialist Abdul El-Sayed just won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, but the exit polls tell the real story. He dominated in college towns and lost badly in the working class neighborhoods he claims to represent. The same pattern played out in Zohran Mamdani's election.
The socialists calling themselves the voice of the working class have never done a day of physical labor in their lives. The working class knows it, and they're not buying it. So who's this “working class” movement actually for?

I sat down with Nick Freitas, veteran, fellow podcaster, and author of “The Manbook,” to talk about what it actually means to be a man in the aftermath of the woke revolution. In recent years, manosphere figures like Andrew Tate have arisen as an answer for young men who feel cast out at school, at work, and in mainstream culture. Their message takes legitimate grievances and points them in unhealthy directions. Nick advocates for a different answer: biblical masculinity.
We get into:
* What masculinity is really all about
* The moment Nick’s co-host changed the way he gives advice
* Why conservatives aren’t getting through to radicalized young men
* What he’s observed raising both a son and daughters
* How he and his wife built a successful marriage and family
* Why Christianity gets results, even if you can’t see it yet

Rand Paul just released Dr. Anthony Fauci's personal diary, more than 1,100 pages stored on government servers, and then made him answer for it before the Senate. Fauci’s response to almost every question was the same. He pleaded the Fifth, over and over again.
But the real story isn’t the diary. It’s what Fauci represents. From funding offshore gain-of-function research, to soliciting cash prizes using federal resources, to the preemptive pardon shielding him from all of it, this is a portrait of an expert class that plays by it’s own rules and doesn’t think you should get a say.
Is this the moment the myth of expert rule finally dies?

I sat down with political scientist Kevin Wallsten to discuss his project building a new college ranking system from scratch. The standard metrics of acceptance rate, endowment size, and name recognition fail to address rising concerns about ideological bias and campus culture. With activism replacing the pursuit of truth throughout higher education, here’s what parents should know before sending their kids off to college.
We get into:
* Why University of Florida ranks #1 and Harvard lands at #37
* What the 68 variables in this new ranking system actually measure
* Why US News & World Report rankings almost never change, even as elite campuses melt down
* How faculty became activists, and why even tenured professors self-censor
* What DEI bureaucracies did to schools like the University of Michigan
* The three competing purposes of the university: personal development, job training, and politics
* Why universities are alienating the students they need most
