The Left Is Selling Away Young America’s Birthright

from Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson

What happens when the institutions entrusted with preserving American history begin advancing a political story of their own?In this episode of Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Carson sits down with U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas to discuss congressional oversight, the Smithsonian Institution, the use of taxpayer dollars, border enforcement, socialism, and the responsibility of young Americans to defend the nation’s founding principles.Congressman Gill explains why he believes simple questions can expose ideological assumptions inside public institutions. He also discusses a recent SNAP hearing, the dramatic change he sees at the southern border, and why he believes Democratic Socialists are pulling their party, and the country, further left.The conversation closes on a more personal note: how faith helps Gill withstand criticism, why politics cannot become an ultimate end, and what younger Americans can do to preserve opportunity for their children and grandchildren.This is a conflict over truth, accountability, and inheritance: will citizens govern their institutions, or will institutions train citizens to distrust what common sense tells them?In this episode:● What Rep. Gill says the Smithsonian gets wrong about American history● Why calling punctuality, civility, and linear thinking “white supremacy” creates backlash● The common-sense question he asked about soda and SNAP benefits● Why he views recent border enforcement as a change in political will, not law● How Democratic Socialists are reshaping the Democratic Party● Why young Americans must understand socialism’s historical record● How faith and criticism shape Gill’s approach to public serviceIf this conversation made you think, share it with someone who wants public institutions to answer to the people they serve.Subscribe for more conversations about faith, liberty, community, life, and the common-sense principles America needs now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
