    Episode 65: The Last Episode: Taking on the Racists of the New Anti-Racism Apr 27, 2021

    On this 65th and final episode (with assurances to all that VDH will be offering his wisdom on other podcast venues in the very near future), Victor discusses bureaucrats and their mask permutations, the GOP’s likely impossible search for another Shane, the racist benchmarks of the BLM-Woke Axis, and the limits of how much “ruin” America can sustain before it’s . . . ruined. This episode is sponsored by Shraga Kawior and the Bradley Foundation’s speak series, We the People.
