    Embark on a journey through the tumultuous terrain of American culture and politics with our incisive guide, Christopher Rufo and his fantastic book, "America's Cultural Revolution."

    As we conclude our three-part series, we'll navigate the seismic shifts from the liberalism of JFK to today's cultural battleground, investigating the left's conquest of culture and the implications of a society in flux.

    Prepare to unravel the influence of thinkers like Paulo Freire and witness the complexities of his controversial "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" as it continues to impact educational and political thought.

    Liberation Theology has failed everywhere it was tried yet our American elites are enamored by its romanticism and revolution.    Yet, the Cultural Revolution goes on.

    so lets find out what happened to our country!

    Key Points from the Episode:

    • Witness the enduring influence of the New Left and grapple with the paradox of critical theories that persist despite their catastrophic historical failures. 
    • As we analyze the cultural revolution within America, we not only scrutinize the ideas that have infiltrated our educational system and elites but also ignite a call to action. 
    • Inspired by the wisdom of Lincoln and the legacy of the 1776 revolution, this episode is a rallying cry, urging citizens to comprehend and counteract the war on our foundational values. 
    • It's a charge to honor our history by fighting to preserve the essence of our democratic republic, standing as vigilant protectors of the principles that have long defined our nation.

    FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message

    Could David Hume's skepticism shake the very foundations of your beliefs?

    Prepare to have your assumptions challenged as we explore the enigmatic world of one of philosophy's greatest skeptics.

    Our latest episode of Philosophy 101 invites you into the mind of David Hume, with Peter Kreeft's "Socrates' Children" as our guide.

    From Hume's disillusionment with faith to his revolutionary 'new science of thought,' we unravel the threads of Hume's impact on ethics, his skepticism towards religion, and his subsequent renown as a historian.

    Join us for a riveting discussion that not only examines Hume's profound influence on the philosophical world but also provides a platform for reflecting on the timeless conflict between faith and reason.

    Key Points from the Episode:

    • The audacity of his arguments against miracles and the resurrection pose a formidable challenge to centuries of religious belief, putting Hume in the spotlight as a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern thought.
    • Witness the skeptic's journey from obscurity to fame, as Hume's ideas blossom in Paris and beyond. Although initially his philosophical works were met with indifference, Hume's later success as a historian cemented his legacy. 
    • We also ponder the tantalizing idea: how might Hume's views have shifted posthumously?
