The Left is obsessed with the idea of 21st century systemic American racism. Are they right? Or are they wrong? We go looking for the racism--and the white supremacists--in the American system. We will integrate into this examination discussion of artistic works on the theme of racism. For example, the great 1960 Western "The Unforgiven" was directed by John Huston; it starred Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn. It trenchantly explored the themes of both racism and its antidote.

Further, Justice Clarence Thomas of SCOTUS, long one of the best of the conservatives, in his recent published opinion, urged SCOTUS to overturn rulings that legalized gay marriage, sodomy, and contraception.

The essence of America is individualism. Therefore, the "great American novel" necessarily focuses on this theme. No novel has ever done this as brilliantly as Ayn Rand's epic, "The Fountainhead."

What is the effect of teaching kids about sex long before they have reached puberty? Why insist on teaching young children about homosexuality? Is sex education the proper province of the schools--or should it be left to the parents? Would the children be better off if the schools taught them reading, writing math, and history, rather than sex ed? These and other questions will be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin on "Truth in Culture and Politics."

Ep. 048: The Truth About the 1/6/21 "Insurrection"
Leftist hysteria regarding the "insurrection" of January 6, 2021 never ends. And yet, more than a year later, none of the perpetrators have been charged with insurrection. Why? What is an insurrection? Do the perpetrators of the 1/6/21 event meet the criteria? What, in justice, should be done with them? What is the truth about this event? And is the Leftist portrayal of it nothing but a riot of lies? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.

It will embody the peculiar idea that, in higher education, we should be free to ask any question, to discuss any theory, to intellectually challenge any authority.

So when a non-white psychiatrist gives a lecture at Yale titled "The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind," in which she states that white people are "out of their minds," that "there are no good apples [among whites] out there," and that "white people make my blood boil," this is not racism.
