TRACK ONE: Aliens, Immigrants, & the Border – For the past 15 years, this has been the #1 topic among our activists, and that’s just as true today, if not more so. Just remember, True Texas Project ain’t no country club. We are driven to do something. Get ready for solutions, and get ready to make them happen.
- Multiculturalism & The War On White America with C.Jay Engel – You’d have to be hiding under a rock at this point to not have noticed the blatant antiwhite campaign by the Left. They don’t even hide their intent to rid the earth of the white race. It’s absolutely vital we remember that when they say “white supremacy” or “white nationalism” or whatever the most recent scare phrase is, they literally just mean your heritage and historical way of life. It’s a culture war, simple as that. Stop apologizing. Stop backing down. Start fighting back.
- Great Replacement Theory with Wade Miller – As American birth rates decline and foreign-born population increases, demographic replacement of American citizens is clearly not just a theory, but a reality. By tying the Great Replacement Theory to white-nationalist and anti-Semetic violence, the establishment condemns any recognition of ongoing demographic transformation as racist. Concerned citizens are told not to believe their lying eyes, while the progressive Left celebrates a majority-minority future as a moral triumph. It is reasonable to fear these population changes will transform our national culture and represent a deliberate policy of replacing citizens with subjects.
- The War For America with John Guandolo - Understanding how to effectively engage the enemy in the war for America
- Positive Patriotism with David Pinkston - We live in a polarized time, with Americans as pessimistic about the future of the country as they have been in the last 60 years. Now more than ever, we need a reminder of what America is and who Americans are. David will discuss and sign copies of his new book titled Positive Patriotism: Reigniting Our Love of Country. This book analyzes the falling patriotism among Americans, identifies causes, and provides simple, straightforward, solutions to regain our gratitude and reverence for America. This book is not just a narrative; it’s an invitation to reconnect with our nation’s core values and rich history.
TRACK TWO: Christian Nationalism – Yeah, we said it, and we’re not afraid of it. We have a reputation for getting to the heart of a matter. Is it wrong to want to preserve a Christian culture? Are we only allowed to talk about these things in hushed tones? Not here. It’s a conversation worth having. In fact, we’re told it will be the first conference of this kind in America, and new faces will come in to hear from the experts we’re hosting. Stretch your mind a bit and listen to what they have to say.
- Global Gaslighting: The Biblical Case for Ordered Affection with Andrew Isker – Across all human cultures and throughout all of human history the love of one’s own people and place have been regarded as a virtue. Scripture even commands believers to love and care for their kin. Something changed after WWII where the love of home, hearth, and kin began to be denigrated and replaced with globalism. This exchange has occurred in the context of mass immigration and forced multiculturalism. Now, love of one’s own people is regarded as xenophobia - an imaginary social pathology. Americans are now expected to view their nation as a set of propositions open to the world, which is evil. Political activists will be given the tools to reject the globalist propaganda and the shrewd gaslighting they have been subjected to for decades.
- The Case For Christian Nationalism with Stephen Wolfe – Despite modern attempts to whitewash our own history, it is a fact that America’s early years were marked by a robust English Protestant cultural and political order. This order was gradually replaced by a philosophy of secular liberalism, which pretended to impose a values-neutral public sphere where policies are determined by reason and social science. Secular liberalism rejected America's traditional underpinning of law and culture, Christianity, and this vacuum was rapidly filled with leftist progressivism. Evangelicalism has been at a loss as to how to respond, largely viewing faith as a personal affair with no role for Christianity in the public realm. The results of this change have been disastrous. Our forefathers knew that society was shaped and informed by law and that there is a supportive role for politics to play in faith and culture. Stephen Wolfe shows us how to restore sanity to our political arena by adopting the ordering principals of our forefathers - natural law.
- Objections to Christian Nationalism with Stephen Wolfe – Does it make you nervous or uncomfortable to take a stand for your faith and culture? It shouldn’t. Put those fears to rest in part two of The Case for Christian Nationalism
- Will The Real Israel Please Stand Up: Is Christian Zionism Biblical? with Andrew Isker - Christian Zionism, a novel method of Bible interpretation birthed in the late 19th Century, has taught four generations of American Christians that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, and its existence proves (1) we are in the end times and (2) that an “Armageddon” is just around the corner. Christians will soon be “raptured” out of a world caught up in a dark, irreversible, decline, and any attempt to restore political order is futile. There are also frequent dysfunctional political dispositions that accompany Christian Zionism like military adventurism abroad and political passivism at home. These dispositions hinder Christian engagement in the political realm. In order for American Christians to employ broad political reform to fight the left and weather the coming storms, it is imperative they remove the dubious theological shackles from their faith and politics. Pastor Isker will help us understand the importance of the church and the role of the Christian citizen in the political realm with new eyes.
- The Wrong Kind of Right (or, “A History of Neoconservatism”) with Paul Gottfried – The challenges of post WW2 America enticed a new generation of political strategists to advocate for policies that prioritized a global anticommunist campaign. Unfortunately, this school of political thought retreated from the culture wars at a crucial time. It envisioned America as the global champion of freedom and democracy and encouraged interventionism. After the end of the Cold War, the powerful institutions that were built during this time were retooled for the War on Terror and were slowly weaponized against the American people. Anti-populist, anti-nationalist neoconservatism with its liberal social values ruled America during the latter half of the 20th Century. During Trump’s first term, prominent Neoconservatives began the “Never-Trump” movement and many switched political parties. Neoconservatism is the predominant political school of the Texas political establishment, it has inspired much of the RPT platform, and it is important for activists to recognize and discern the difference between real conservatism and neoconservatism.
TRACK THREE: Digging Deeper – We’re not done yet! If we’re going to push that Overton Window further to the right, we’ve got a lot more work to do! But work is play at True Texas Project. These speakers will have you mesmerized and motivated. Don’t take our word for it… Come see for yourself!
- The Big Con: Gambling In Texas with Les Bernal – Learn Why Predatory Gambling is the State's Most-Neglected Major Problem and How It Affects Your Life... Take a look at the top donors for most of the Texas legislature, and you’ll find Las Vegas Sands. Now why would a gambling corporation be greasing the palms of politicians? You and I both know it only means one thing: bought votes. We need to prepare ourselves NOW with the truth about gambling. Some of you may be thinking, “I like to gamble. Let’s go!” or “Why do we let Oklahoma & Louisiana have all the money?” You might be surprised at the facts and stats that do not lie: gambling has no place in Texas.
- Introducing the New Right with C.Jay Engel – The New Right is a post-liberal, ascendant movement which understands it needs its own institutions to project power to fight the left. It believes in all the things of the Old Right like order and hierarchy but realizes the old liberal institutions have been weaponized against the right. Post War "normie-conservatives" believe in a bottom-up, hearts-first transformation of culture through individual conversion via the Gospel; New Right sees the necessity of a norming-influence of law on the broader culture and the top-down approach to reforming norms and ethics. In short, it's a Right that's tired of losing and has a proven winning plan. This class includes No Enemies On The Right. In order to move the Overton Window further right, we must work together to fight the Left. It’s a simple statement, but much harder to carry out. When the Left is committed to total political war, No Enemies On The Right is a non-negotiable operating principle. Activists can expect to learn that there are alternatives to perpetual defeat. Winning the battle of the Overton Window is actually possible…and it’s already happening!
- What Is Real Conservatism? with Paul Gottfried – What is often understood as modern conservatism is little more than a set of incoherent policy propositions that never challenge the prevailing liberal politics. Real conservatism seeks to protect a people and their traditions first and foremost while rejecting ideology as an ordering principal. Authentic conservatism recognizes the differences between men and women and the necessity of sex roles in family formation and culture propagation. Authentic Conservatism rejects highly centralized, statist mass democracy and recognizes that in order to protect liberty, social hierarchy is essential. In a world where every Texas politician claims to be conservative, giving activists tools to discern between real historic conservatism and the fake conservatism that never conserves anything is important.
- Acquitted! with Kyle Rittenhouse - Kyle never wanted to be a public figure. He was homeless as a small child and raised in government-subsidized housing. His goal was to be a cop or a paramedic. He went to Kenosha to help his community—not become a whipping boy in the national debate. In less than three minutes, the direction of his life was horribly altered when he was forced to defend hi,self with deadly force. So much was said and written about him that was not true. Now, he tells his story. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He was attacked. He defended himself. He was prosecuted. He was acquitted.
- Letter To The American Church - This topic covers TWO sessions, as we'll watch the 1-hour movie followed by discussion and Q&A with one of the featured guests from the film. In an earnest and searing wake-up call, the author of the bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy warns of the haunting similarities between today’s American church and the German church of the 1930s. Echoing Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late.
