Description

In this episode, Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Rod Martin and Stacy Washington for a powerful, wide-ranging discussion on the rise of Democratic Socialism, collapsing American pride, and why abolishing the Department of Education must be a national priority. Together, they expose how extremist ideology is spreading through America’s schools, examine why Gen Z is losing faith in the country, and offer real solutions to restore civics, strengthen families, and reignite American patriotism.

Key Topics Covered

  • The rise of Democratic Socialism in America
    How self-proclaimed socialists are winning major cities—and why voters, especially young voters, are embracing failed socialist ideas.

  • Why it’s time to abolish the Department of Education
    The panel discusses new evidence that 90% of the DOE can be furloughed with no impact on schooling—and why reform is no longer enough.

    From Hillsdale to Heritage to Tuttle Twins, the guests outline practical strategies families can use right now to teach real American history.
  • How parents can restore patriotism at home
    Powerful advice for families on building strong relationships, reinforcing values, and cultivating pride in America’s founding principles.
