In this episode, Jacob and Eric open with some good news on the culture war's education front before looking at why many middle-class Americans vote for politicians who implement leftist, immoral policies. Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent testimony before Congress provides an answer to this. Eric then shows how vaccine mandates have driven a larger wedge between the working class and Democrats and discusses whether the Republican Party is aware enough to capitalize. For the main topic, they discuss the problem many business owners are having finding workers. Why aren't Americans going back to work as they did before the pandemic? Is it unemployment insurance, laziness, increased immigration, or something else that's disrupting the labor supply?

In this week's episode, Eric and Jacob discuss the latest in the Loudoun County, Virginia school wars. Remember the claim that the non-binary rapist predator, who would take advantage of transgender bathrooms, doesn't exist? Loudoun County just found out they/them do exist.

For the main topic, they discuss the intersectional revolution's latest scalp: former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden. Was Gruden given due process? Is due process itself a relic of a conquered people that the revolutionaries seek to abolish? The Right Take guys discuss this and give their thoughts on the success and staying power of this cultural revolution wreaking havoc on every aspect of American civilization.

Voicing your opposition to your child's school indoctrination? You may be meeting some FBI dark suits soon. Eric and Jacob discuss this and the totalitarianism that some universities have unleashed on students, which includes using tuition to pay hall monitors to surveil and report wrong-think and Covid violations. For the main topic, they discuss what the Right could learn from the Biden administration's dedication and competence in fighting court rulings it disagrees with, specifically the Remain in Mexico policy and the Texas right-to-life law.

In Episode 40, we discuss America's continued self-inflicted migrant invasion and how the Biden administration used the race card to once again put the Republican Party on defense as his approval rate plunged. For the main topic, we turn to the gubernatorial race in our home state of Virginia, the only competitive race in 2021. In the spirit of a certain preeminent conservative publication, we must give our reasons for being against a wealthy businessman who has never held public office running as the Republican nominee for an executive office. Glen Youngkin is not deserving of right-wing support. He is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad nationalist ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating conservatism with inside-the-beltway overtones. 

00:00 Intro

SHOWNOTES:

In the wake of the Bolshevik-style taking of the equestrian Robert E. Lee statue in Virginia, Eric and Jacob discuss the current state of academic affairs in America—which has its roots in 1930s New York. They recount how a family of historians, the Foners, drew on its Marxist sympathies to undermine American history. They focus primarily on Columbia University professor Eric Foner who has dedicated his career to historical revisionism regarding the Reconstruction Era. Foner, like other Marxian historians, revises the past to fit snugly into contemporary political issues to revolutionize the present. Thanks to his revised understanding of Reconstruction, he ahistorically considers the Civil Rights Movement the “second Reconstruction.” America's current domestic turmoil is being driven by liberal arts graduates who internalized Foner's misinterpretation of history and seek to force a third reconstruction on the country to finish the job that American neo-Marxists convinced themselves that Radical Republicans began in the 1860s.

In this first part of “The Roots of America's Third Reconstruction,” we look at some of the fruit of America's core ideological rot. Eric discusses the recent California recall, and Jacob discusses General Mark Milley's usurpation, the vaccine mandate, and how the conservative movement has thwarted ordinary people from mobilizing against institutional tyranny.

In part 2, on September 20, we'll dive deep into the origins of that rot. We'll look at how one family of historians helped plant the seeds in the 1930s and how a member of that family has watered them ever since.

With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 this week, Eric and Jacob recall their personal experiences finding out about the September 11 terrorist attacks and how America has changed since then. Jacob discusses the Taliban's victory lap and how this reflects on America's decline as a world power and nation-state. For the main topic, they discuss why the Biden administration isn't putting up much of a fight against the Supreme Court's ruling that it must revamp Trump's “Remain in Mexico” policy. A recent New York Times article lays out why some in the Biden administration are breathing a sigh of relief. Immigration has always been kryptonite for the Democrats, who win elections convincing their open-borders supporters that they support open borders while convincing their working-class supporters that the accusation is a Republican lie. How should American patriots respond to the Democrats' weakness on this issue? The Right Take guys explore this and more related to immigration.

In this week's episode, Eric discuss Ashli Babbit's killer, Michael Leroy Byrd, who has been identified and recently went on Lester Holt's show to brag about his accomplishment and deny any bad judgment. They discuss how he was groomed to be trigger-happy and what this means for the country. Jacob discusses Project Veritas's recent undercover sting: a Marxist Antifa teacher in Sacramento who grooms his students to become left-wing radicals.

For the main topic, they discuss what Americans on the Right should learn from America's embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan. Jacob discusses Biden's nosedive in the polls and why Biden doesn't think it will affect him long-term and why he might be right. They also discuss the Afghanistan Papers, the Washington Post's 2019 expose, on the waste, corruption, and deception in Afghanistan by America's military elites and what the American Right should take away from the bipartisan Afghanistan failure.

Jacob covers a recent investigation by the Washington Free Beacon (WFB), which looks at the revolving door of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) factory. WFB focuses on one consultancy, which runs a profiteering racket with private schools and private school accrediting agencies, showing how the DEI push centers around dollars in addition to ideology. For the main topic, they cover the recent withdrawal debacle in Afghanistan, which has forced the Biden administration to scramble to evacuate the tens of thousands of Americans and Afghan allies, many of them trapped behind Taliban lines.
