The truth about America has been obscured and deleted by the far American left, but in this week's Sunday special, we will be bringing it to you.

It's called How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps. And this week's podcast, we're going to go down memory lane with some folks who talk about what about America is worth preserving, because that really is the battle right now.

It's not between right and left so much as it is between people who wish for the country to continue and people who wish for the country to be destroyed.

Well, if you wish for the country to continue, you have to find some points of commonality.

In my viewpoint, that means a common philosophy, culture, and history, a belief that the founding principles of the Declaration of Independence were indeed self-evident and correct, that you have natural rights that pre-exist government,

that limited government was designed in order to protect those rights,

and that if the government were to invade those rights, it would lose its reason for being.

We have to share a culture, a culture where we tolerate each other's exercise of rights,

even if we don't necessarily like how those rights are being exercised. We have to cultivate a culture of adventure and entrepreneurship, where the only

thing guaranteed is adventure and you are basically expected to pick up the slack. You're expected

to make the right decisions. We have to cultivate a culture where social institutions are valued

and where we value our neighbors. Without that culture, all of this falls in on itself. And finally, we have to share a common history, a belief that the history of the United States is the perfection of a principle. It is not, in fact, a headlong rush away from founding principle. We have to believe that American history is the story of living up to the principles set out in the Declaration of Independence, not the story of various groups

clubbing each other over the head for purposes of power relations. If we believe that, the country is

going to fall apart. But one thing is obvious. There is a vast group in the United States that is

seeking to dissolve all the bonds that tie us together. There are normal conversations that

happen between people on the right and the left about just how far founding principles extend, about just how much further we have to go. But then there are folks who just want to bathe the entire thing in acid. And this is what you see from the Robin DiAngelo crowd. This is what you see from Ibrahim Kendi. The basic idea being that the American system itself is deeply disgusting. The American system itself is rooted in brutality and evil and

racism and bigotry. And the only way to fight against that is to tear down the system itself.

Well, if we don't know what we're standing for, it's going to be very difficult to stand against

the winds that are about to blow. Increasingly in the United States, we don't know what we stand

for. Increasingly in the United States, our cultural institutions have

fallen down on the job or been taken over by the disintegrationists who wish to see all of these

common ties fall apart. I think on this week's episode, you'll see the reasons why we have to hold
