Folks, back in July of last year, I told you about this awesome podcast, Apollo 11, what we saw, hosted by Friends of Daily Wire Bill Whittle. The show took you back in time to the experience of living through the space age. Now, Bill has a new season of the show. This time, Bill takes you back to the Cold War. The story is incredibly well told. The setting is so brilliantly descriptive that you get a sense of what it was like to live through major events, like the Berlin airlift, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race. These milestones are tied together to give you a sense of the big picture, the apocalypse that never happened. As the host, Bill has a way of pulling you in, making the story engaging and entertaining, whether you remember living through some of these events or, like me, you don't. They've already released two episodes of this 12-part series, so you already have some to catch up on.

You should go listen now,

because it has never been more relevant than this year, where the left is going full-blown calming in so many of their policies and their language. This podcast emphasizes the battle not only for capitalism and free markets, but for civilization itself. Take a listen to this 10-minute preview of episode one. If you like what you hear, just go

to Dailywire.com slash Cold War and start listening to this incredibly important story. You can also

find it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It was the wall between East and West, period.

It was the division of humanity into two different camps, And since names and labels are always changing and

morphing, not to mention carrying decades of emotional baggage, let's reduce it to the most simple,

emotionally neutral terms. On one side of the wall, the eastern side, were the collectivists

who believe that society takes precedent over the person. This collectivism was advertised as new and

scientific, but the fact is that collectivism has been the default condition of humanity since

humanity began. No, the actual newcomer to this clash of visions were the individualists on the

western side. The first government in history dedicated to the idea of the individual being more worthy of protection than the state had just turned 170 years old when the 40-year conflict known as the Cold War began.

With the world in ruins after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy, these two ideologies had come into head-on

conflict here in Berlin. It quickly became evident that Soviet leaders were not interested in a free

unified Germany and were determined to induce or force the Western powers to leave Berlin. Certainly,

the American and Western people do not want war. But all history

has taught us the grim lesson that no nation has ever been successful in avoiding the

terrors of war by refusing to defend its rights, by attempting to placate aggression. From the East,

the collectivist idea known as communism had slugged its way from mile after
