Friends,
I don’t do this often. But I must ask for your support today.
First, I want to say thank you for being a subscriber and viewer throughout the years. I can’t believe I get to share these videos with you, because they fill me with purpose every day I’m in the studio.
What you might not realize is that Dad Saves America is part of a bigger organization called Emergent Order Foundation. It’s a non-profit content studio I founded 5 years ago. I like to say we’re kinda like if Warner Bros and PBS had a baby… that actually loved America! Everything we create is made possible by viewers who believe in the work.
In 2026, we’re taking on bigger projects, including one to honor America’s 250th birthday. (Trust me… you’re going to love it when it comes out.)
We have more to come, but this is why I hope you’ll consider supporting our work today.
If anything we’ve created has helped you, inspired you, challenged you, or simply made a tough day a little lighter, I’d be grateful if you’d make a tax-deductible gift today.
Even just $5 makes a difference when enough people join in.
Please use this link to make your tax-deductible gift: secure.anedot.com/emergent-order-foundation/yt-pos…
Thank you for being part of our community. I’m excited for what we’ll build together this year.
– John

This Thursday’s interview is with an old friend of mine, @drarthurbrooks.
His new book, "The Meaning of Your Life," tackles how the modern world makes meaning so hard to find and lays out a plan to discover your life’s deepest purpose.
He’s hosting a free live book launch event on March 27 with Chris Williamson, Simon Sinek, and many more to explore the crisis of meaning.

Hey folks. I'm a little down-for-the-count with a bug of some kind, but hope to be better by later in the week. In the meantime, if you want to know my first reaction to this Iran war, here it is via X (where my ID runs free and mistakes abound).
As for the mostly-paid "progressive" protesters and "#handsoff" crowd siding with despots while the Iranian public and diaspora dance in the streets with joy? I've got various Italian hand gestures for them. More depth coming soon.
