Summary
In this episode, Dinesh examines Victor Davis Hanson's argument that the Northern progressive states now make up a "new confederacy." As the University of California system gets rid of standardized testing for being racially biased, Dinesh reveals how, both historically and now, these tests provide the true measure of merit that enable talent to rise to the top. Dinesh explores the illogic of Biden opening up the strategic oil reserve in order to bring down the oil prices that his policies drove up. Finally, Dinesh investigates why Muslims are, perhaps for the first time in history, converting in large numbers to Christianity.
