The Republican Professor

This is Part 6.

We want to thank Free Press for making this material available and thank D'Souza for writing it. Thank you, Dinesh.

We continue our discussion of Dinesh D'Souza's Illiberal Education: The Politics of Sace and Rex on Campus (NY, NY: Free Press, 1991) starting chapter 2, called "More Equal Than Others: Admissions Policy at Berkeley," getting through to page 43 from page 38. We do a fair use and a transformative reading of a book I encountered in high screwel at Chatfield High Screwel in Jefferson County, Littleton, Colorado in 1991. I wrote an article about it in my high screwel newspaper, the Chatfield Charter.

This is in a series of TRP backstory episodes on The Republican Professor podcast.

I believe I originally used my paper route money to buy the book myself at Summit Ministries in Summer 1991 in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Thanks to my Grandpa Mather for sending me those 4 years.

The book is "Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus" (NY, New York: Free Press, 1991) by a very young Dinesh D'Souza.

We want to encourage you to buy the book either used or new. Throw some money at the publisher for the book to reward them for publishing good books. Follow D'Souza on social media and check out his films as well as his books. Get the book and follow along.

We want to thank Free Press for making this material available and thank D'Souza for writing it. Thank you, Dinesh.

Warmly,

Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

Part 3 of 3. We cover the DC Court of Appeals 5 March 2026 decision overturning the wrongful conviction of Tyree Benson who was criminalized for innocent conduct.

Benson v. US disagrees with the Ninth Circuit's en banc resolution of Duncan v. Bonta, 2025, which we covered over several episodes in 2025.

We cover up through the middle of page 37 from page 22. We continue there next time at page 37.

This episode was filmed Tuesday evening 3 November 2026 years after Jesus in the backyard of my long-time (nearly a quarter of a century) common-sense Epistemology mentor Dr. Doug Geivett (PhD, USC under Dallas Willard), a student himself of the famous late-great Republican professor, the late-great Dallas Willard of USC’s Philosophy Department. Dr. Geivett's pen name is R. Douglas Geivett, and he and his co-author Holly Pivec came on the podcast in Spring 2023.

It's hard to believe Doug has died and we miss him dearly. He was a wonderful common-sense Epistemology mentor. I was incredibly blessed by the Lord for his Epistemology mentorship.

Part 8 in the Mr. Steak series, and Part 7 of the Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge series. This one is from June 1978 and is on the topic of "Energy," with Mr. Steak's Keith Rich, Manager of Energy Systems for the Mr. Steak empire and Jim Shearon, the COO and President of the company.

Mr. Steak's Founder, Chairman of the Board and CEO James A. Jim Mather, my Grandpa Mather, interviews people in an effort to increase what he called Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge. This seems to have been a monthly series called "Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge," each month with a new theme.

Many thank to Kerri Marquadt, owner of 7 of the 286 Mr. Steak franchises including the Cheyenne Wyoming location, for the gift to me of these rare tapes of the Mr. Steak franchisor founder and motivational speaker, James A. Mather.

Grandpa Mather was raised by a single mother in the Great Depression in El Dorado, Kansas. He went on to serve as a Navy F2F Hellcat fighter pilot during World War 2. He started the company in 1962. He and his first wife Dottie raised 3 kids in Colorado. He died last year in the presence of his second wife Linda peacefully in Camarillo, California at the ripe age of 102 years young. Funeral services were held at Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park and performed by Pastor Rob McCoy, whom Jim mentored in the Lord.

The still photo is a Mr. Steak mentioned in an advertisement in the LA Times 21 Dec 1978.

Enjoy.

Part 5 of 5, a Republican panel on the US Ninth Circuit defends open carry in California, Part 5 of 5 (Part 4 was 8 April 2026, Part 3 was 17 April 2026, part 2 was 19 February 2026 and Part 1 was 15 Jan 2026) of our study of open carry in America's Constitutional tradition by spending more time today with Baird v. Bonta (2 Jan 2026, 9th Circuit) from page 49 (Roman Numeral VII) through to end of both VanDyke's and Lee's majority opinions. The pro-Second-Amendment opinions, both of them that we take a look at, were written by Republican appointees (Trump, with a Republican US Senate).

Here's a link to the article I wrote 9 April 2020 for San Diego County Gun Owners, published on Gun Owner's Radio, that I entitled : "Two Types of Self-Defense" here.

This episode and this series is dedicated to the memory of my closest first cousin, Little Dan Mountain Jr, closest in age by just a couple of weeks, who died earlier this year in January.

I picked a topic that would bring a smile to his face and that would honor the bright spots in our childhood together in Colorado.

This episode was filmed Sunday evening 25 October 2026 years after Jesus in the backyard next to the pool waterfall of my long-time (nearly a quarter of a century) Epistemology mentor Dr. Doug Geivett (PhD, USC under Dallas Willard), who wrote under the pen-name R. Douglas Geivett and was a student himself of the famous late-great Republican professor, the late-great Dallas Willard of USC's Philosophy Department. Tomorrow the 26th of October, Monday at 2pm is his funeral. It's an indescribable loss. We miss Doug greatly.

Part 4.

We're continuing our discussion of The Trivium today in conversation with Sister Miriam Joseph, Ph.D., who joins us through her writing teaching ministry in "The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric" originally published in 1937. We're discussing the first section of her second chapter. That chapter is called The Nature and Function of Language. We start our discussion on the top of p. 15 where we left off 1 Sept 2026, and we top of p. 22 today.

We'd like to thank Sister Miriam Joseph for writing this and we'd like to thank Paul Dry Books 2002 for making this particular edition available to readers (edited by Marguerite McGlinn).

We're doing a fair use and transformative reading, and would encourage you to go out and get yourself a physical copy of this book. Whether used or new, or even a different edition, if you can find it, get the book, a physical copy you can hold in your hand, and follow along with the discussion.
