The Consequences of Identity Politics and the Sovietization of America | True Worldview Ep. 52
March 31, 2020 16:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBIdentity Politics is destructive. It's a power play, it's not rooted in liberty for all, and it's hypocritical. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s was about equality, but the movements in our culture are not about equality, but power.

March 20, 2020 07:00 - 24 minutes - 23.3 MBThere is a real threat upon us with this Coronavirus. We all know that people have died, and it’s spreading.

February 21, 2020 08:00 - 22 minutes - 21.9 MBHere's more poisoned fruit produced by a culture that’s rejected the true worldview. “Over the course of the last few years, there has been a ‘dramatic change’ in Hollywood.
