70: Four Freedoms

Rockefeller, Black Soldiers and Civic Duty

During World War II, FDR allowed Black soldiers to fight alongside white soldiers, leading many to hope for increased social standing upon their return. The hosts note that even the sons of elites like Rockefeller were drafted to provide the "optics" of shared sacrifice. They contrast this with the current mandate, which they argue has failed to use a "patriotic" or "nationalist" angle effectively.

Electoral College Process and 9/11 Comparison

The discussion shifts to the constitutional process of the Electoral College and the official certification date of December 14. One host describes a "9/11 feeling" regarding the election results, where the official narrative contradicts what is being observed. They argue that the American public lacks a fundamental understanding of civics, leading to confusion over how presidents are actually elected.
