DraftAmerica is living through a soft civil war. From the assassination of Charlie Kirk to the toxic rhetoric pouring out of our institutions, the divide between left and right has become impossible to ignore. But here’s the hard truth: us vs. them is not sustainable.

In this episode of Closing Argument with Walter Hudson, I lay out:

Why the “social contract” in America has been quietly rewritten.

The frog-in-boiling-water moment we’ve all just woken up to.

Why cancel culture ≠ accountability, and how to tell the difference.

The danger of grievance politics vs. the hope of gratitude politics.

How “Steve Jobs politics” can shred the old scripts and build real solutions.

Short-term, the destructive ideologies tearing us apart must be decisively defeated. Long-term, we need to think 50–100 years ahead—rebuilding order, restoring liberty, and inviting sane voices back into the American project.

If you’re tired of partisan theater and ready to talk about how we actually restore our republic—this is for you.

After the Annunciation Catholic School shootings, Tim Walz and Minnesota Democrats have made no good faith attempt to pursue specific legislation that would make schools safter. Instead, they're now running to the press to engage in naked politics... which was the plan all along.

Let's breakdown the public comments and pull back the curtain on the cynical machinations Walz is using to pursue a third term as governor.

From top to bottom, from former president Barack Obama to Democrat governors like Tim Walz and Gavin Newsome, the Left has pushed all-in on accusing everyone in MAGA of being a fascist.

But, what is a fascist?

Do they have a point? If not, why would they risk the consequences of falsely labelling half the country as an existential threat to democracy?

The scene at Charlie Kirk's memorial in Arizona was one of revival, unlike anything we've seen in the modern era.

Every single speaker, including the president and vice president of the United States, uplifted the name of Christ and called Americans to virtue and repentance.

Meanwhile, the Left continues its unhinged campaign to disparage Kirk before his wife can even bury him. But it's backfiring.

People who had never heard from Kirk are now discovering him, specifically because the claims from the Left are so outlandish.

The impact of this backfire is poised to change our nation forever.

U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, who serves the district of Minnesota, made extraordinary earth-shattering statements in a recent press conferences announcing new indictments for fraud in the state's generous social programs.

Let's tick through what he said, and the sobering implications.

The days since the taking of Charlie Kirk have revealed a terrible new reality that most of us were naively unaware of. The social contract has been broken. We can no longer assume that those among us who teach our children, perform our medical procedures, or write our laws would not openly celebrate our end before our loved ones could place us in the grave.

So. Where do we go from here?

Minnesota has been ruled over by the iron fist of Democrats for decades, resulting in rampant injustice in our streets, abhorrent educational outcomes, and the erosion of basic rights.

But, for some reason, the issue that seems to get the most traction in our state is fraud in government programs. We've had tons of it. Hundreds of millions. Approaching a billion. Likely much, much more.

And the lie about all this fraud is that it's one big screw up. Gee wiz, we didn't mean it. How does this keep happening? We don't know.

But it's increasingly apparent that Minnesota state government has been turned into a racketeering operation to financially benefit Democrat allies.

Here are the receipts.
