About this episode
A powerful resource for citizens, educators, leaders, and parents, Hijacked speaks to those ready to defend liberty, restore responsibility, and reweave the social fabric of our nation—before it’s too late.
In an era of cultural confusion and political polarization, Hijacked offers a bold roadmap for reclaiming the essential principles of a flourishing society. Drawing from historical evidence and timeless wisdom, authors Peter H. Calfee and J. Kevin Dolan argue that the survival of the American republic depends on our collective ability to return to foundational values— Critical Thinking, Education, Religion/Faith/Values, History, Politics, and Economics.
From the very first chapter, Hijacked drives home the premise that the American experiment is not immune to failure — unless its people actively think, question, and speak with clarity and conviction.
In one of the book’s foundational sections, Calfee and Dolan explore the erosion of public discourse and the consequences of abandoning Critical Thinking. They recount how great civilizations—from Ancient Rome to modern states—fell not due to external enemies but internal decay. Indoctrination, moral relativism, and the suppression of inquiry replaced reasoned dialogue and moral clarity.
About the Authors
J. Kevin Dolan is a former airline pilot and Wharton MBA who co-founded a successful Registered Investment Advisory firm and played a key role in launching the Allied Pilots Federal Credit Union.
Peter H. Calfee is a financial expert and retired CPA, CFP®, and CLU with leadership experience in regulatory, nonprofit, and academic settings. He holds degrees from Stanford University and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Together, they bring decades of real-world experience and principled leadership to this urgent call for national renewal.
