Ashamed of America on the World Stage

Conservative, not bitter—my friends, today’s Toddcast tackles a disturbing trend: American Olympic athletes publicly expressing shame about representing the United States. Todd reacts to comments from Team USA skier Hunter Hess and others, responding to President Trump’s blunt criticism and the media’s predictable framing. This episode dives deep into patriotism, free speech, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and why loving your country doesn’t mean pretending it’s perfect. Todd contrasts modern anti-American sentiment with the historical reality of America as a force for good in the world, from the Cold War to the founding principles rooted in God-given rights. You may disagree—but you won’t leave confused about where Todd stands. Proudly American. Always.
