Summary
In an episode full of hot, but true, takes that earned him a spot among Twitter's top trends, Charlie unpacks his reasoning behind why the real—and very obviously underhanded—motivations of the left should be enough for any rational American to oppose the latest move to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Harkening back to the Gettysburg Address, Charlie makes the case that the push for Juneteenth is more about unraveling the founders' vision for America than it is about celebrating emancipation. This is a thorough defense of American culture, order, and the need to conserve tradition that every American needs to hear.
