I’m taking a hard look at what our culture has become—from education to media to podcasting. In this clip, I explain why it feels like everything—from classrooms to digital platforms—has been reduced to spectacle, where serious learning is replaced by noise, outrage, and shallow debate.
I break down how younger generations are being shaped by systems that prioritize ideology, entertainment, and influence over real knowledge, history, and critical thinking. I ask the bigger question: what are we actually learning—and where are we supposed to learn it from? Because in a free society, knowledge isn’t optional—it’s everything.
I also call out the incentives driving today’s media ecosystem—where clicks, money, and audience size reward the loudest voices, not the smartest ones. While organized ideologies continue to educate, recruit, and mobilize, too many others are distracted by gossip, personality conflicts, and empty content.
If we don’t reverse this—if we don’t refocus on ideas, principles, and real education—we’re not just drifting, we’re declining.

Donald J. Trump shared a post from Donald J. Trump:
> Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!). Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

NEW: Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, despite reports of his failing health and questions if he's even alive, is vowing to protect Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.
Khamenei in his latest statement attempts to draw a hard line with the U.S. as tensions stay high over the Strait of Hormuz while President Trump pushes peace.
“The foreigners who greedily commit evil in [Iran] from thousands of kilometers away have no place in it except in the depths of its waters.”
Khamenei is pushing back against U.S. peace efforts, saying the only place for the American military in the Persian Gulf is “at the bottom of its waters” as he pushes his vision of a "future without America" in the region that belongs only to Iran and its neighbors.
President Trump says the Iranian regime told him they are in a "State of Collapse," warning that they "better get smart soon" when it comes to signing a nonnuclear deal.
.@NASAAdmin: "The next step is go out further, it's to return to the moon. It's to pick up where Apollo 17 left off... President Trump said we are going back to stay, to build a moon base. That’s going to be a massive American outpost." 🚀🌕
SEC WAR: 🇺🇸 "What I give, what you give, what others give—I’m not looking for money. I don’t do it for money. I don’t do it for profit.
I don’t do it for stocks, and that’s part of the reason I’m able to be effective in this job.
Sen. Lindsey Graham:
"Continue the blockade, but blockade plus, try to open up a lane in the Strait of Hormuz to take Iran's leverage away. If they continue to be provocative, let Admiral Cooper finish his target list."
