OnlySubs: Never Lie to Fit In

At the end of August, dear contributors, I was invited to appear on the Dr. Phil Show along with a handful of other heroes in the fight against Critical Race Theory. That's been over two months ago, though, and the episode still hasn't been aired. In fact, we haven't heard a word. Maybe it's just slow in production, or maybe there are other reasons, but since so much time has passed, I thought it would be of some interest to share with you all what happened on that little trip to Southern California and to expose the game that was being set up for us there. Did I mess it all up? Tune in to this episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers-only podcast, to hear the story.
