Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized

and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

He's here. He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

What's up, America? We're under attack by three different countries, politically speaking, in a war that doesn't use bullets.

It's a war that corrupts the minds of Americans to hate their own country and their countrymen. It attacks our information systems, people's health and their courage.

And they want to take out our infrastructure eventually. So this way we can live our lives in darkness, in fear. So they can further try and break the American spirit.

But Americans are way more resilient than that.

What's up, America? I am Rich Valdez, your Liberty Loving Latino Amigo, and that's Valdez with NS. El Kong, said by the order, some of you know me as Mr. Call Screener, the associate producer of the Mark Levin Show, and it's my pleasure to sit in for the great one, Mark Levin.

Richie, I want to thank you. People need to know you're not only a great call screener, you're even a better broadcast.

I've told you that there's a godless society, a society that's ripe for cultural Marxism, and that not a single shot was fired on the four major battlefields.

And the battlefields I'm talking about are all intellectual. Every single classroom from pre K to the college campus, the media, newsrooms all across America.

We've seen Marx's infiltrate them spewing lie after propagandistic lie on TV in the newspapers.

Every level of government, literally from like town hall to the halls of Congress. And of course, the family unit.

The attack on the family structure has been unrelenting in my lifetime. And we're still seeing the results of that.

Later, we're going to get into why that even matters.

But first, I want to ask you, what is the virtue that we always talk of, that the founders spoke of this virtue?

What is the value or the purpose of virtue in our society? Where is it that we learn our values from?

Well, I think many of us learn that stuff from our parents. And I'm going to make a quick aside.

The other day, I was getting a cafe con leche. I like to drink Spanish coffee and there's a spot not too far from my house that I go to and I get it.
