Is U.S. History Being Twisted to Make America Look Evil? David & Tim Barton Respond
Has America been a force for good or for evil? Why are some podcasters suggesting that the U.S. should have sided with Hitler’s Germany over Churchill’s UK and Stalin’s USSR during World War II? Was dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a moral failure — or a necessary act to end the war? And does the Constitution really prohibit displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings? PragerU CEO Marissa Streit invites historians David and Tim Barton for an in-depth discussion. David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, is the author of over 20 books on American history and has served on numerous history advisory boards. Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders, is a national speaker and co-author of The American Story series, known for making America’s founding ideas accessible to students and families.

Dinesh D'Souza on How the Left Rebranded Fascism as “Right Wing”
How did fascism—built on state control of industry, education, banks, churches, and media—end up labeled as “right wing” when those are traditionally left-wing platforms?
Filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to unpack how progressive academics redefined fascism after World War II to distance it from the left. D’Souza also explains how this same distortion shapes the narrative around antisemitism on both the left and the right.
