Russell Kirk is regularly acknowledged as one of the most influential conservative intellectuals, but later in life, he was pushed out of the movement he helped to define. Kirk became unpopular due to his opposition to the neoconservative faction and the damage it had caused to the right wing. We'll be exploring the speech that got him canceled: "The Neoconservatives: An Endangered Species." Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.app...

The move comes after the president threatened action in the wake of a brutal attack on a DOGE staffer while the young man attempted to defend his girlfriend during a carjacking. National Guard troops will supplement D.C. metro police in an effort to quell violent crime in the city. Americans are...

Last year the GOP attempted to pass a bill making it a violation of civil rights law for universities to express certain opinions on the state of Israel. That bill was defeated, but the Trump administration has continued to successfully push for this form of censorship on college campuses. The administration also recently attempted to sneak similar restrictions into disaster relief funding. Author and podcast host Scott Horton join...

In a world of sprawling global political entities, is there any room for the classic nation-state? Nationalism has been branded as hateful and outdated, but my guest, Yoram Hazony, author or "The Virtue of Nationalism," joins me to explain why he believes the nation-state is the ideal form of government to preserve the character of individual peoples across the globe. We also discuss why the current relationship between Israel and ...

At a recent Panamerican Congress in Mexico City, Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois stood before attendees and declared in Spanish, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, helps shape policies vital to the nation’s safety. Yet she openly and proudly identifies with another country — and in a foreign language, no less. Ramirez isn’t alone. She’s part of a gr...

The Trump administration faced serious backlash after a directive that would have denied disaster relief funding to American cities that decided to boycott the state of Israel. Public pressure forced the White House to backpedal, but the option to enforce this ban may still exist. We'll also discuss the use of artificial intelligence to "resurrect" dead loved ones and the dangers of digital necromancy.   Follow on: Apple: https://p...

Liberal democracy has come to dominate in the Western world, and many believe it to be the best system of government, but does that mean it is mandated by the Bible? Many Christians have conflated their political tradition with a biblical commandment. Pastor Chase Davis joins me to discuss what the Bible really says about the state and whether it demands that we assume one form of government or another. Follow on: Apple: https://po...

While America began as an Anglo-Protestant nation, it has managed to assimilate new groups like the Germans and Irish over time. The process has been so effective that some now see the United States as a land of immigrants capable of adding any and every new arrival into its fold. But many groups are now building resilient enclaves inside the United States, in some cases building giant statues to foreign gods in the public square. ...

Last week, Logan Riley and Brandon Mitchell went viral when the gay couple shared a post of the baby boy they had acquired through surrogacy. It has become very common for gay couples to celebrate purchasing children from their mothers on social media, but as the horrific consequences of surrogacy have become more well known, public opposition has become more common. Many on social media raised concerns that the gay adoption was no...

An incredibly bizarre outrage has erupted over the appearance of Sydney Sweeney in advertisement for the American Eagle clothing brand. Liberals are calling the ad Nazi propaganda simply for placing an attractive white woman at the center of the campaign. J. Burden joins me to discuss the outrage along with the relative lack of outrage over a white couple being beaten at a music festival in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Learn more about your ...

Many treat transhumanism as a science-fiction threat in a far distant future, when in reality we are already experiencing its impact. Author Grayson Quay joins me to discuss his new book, "The Transhumanist Temptation," and how the problems we face are not just scientific but spiritual. We cover everything from body modification to transgenderism and artificial intelligence and explore how humanity can remain human even as it reach...

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed evidence that the entire Russiagate hoax — a scheme to derail President Donald Trump’s first term — was manufactured by the outgoing Obama administration. At a press gaggle on Tuesday, Trump followed up by accusing Obama of “treason” for trying to rig the 2016 election and calling for severe consequences. These revelations matter. But unless someone actually goes t...

CBS has canceled its long-running "The Late Show," leaving the cringe-inducing host Stephen Colbert without a job. Colbert and many of his fellow comedians have already branded the move as some form of political censorship, when in truth the answer is simple: Colbert just wasn't that funny. The great Wade Stotts joins me to discuss the fate of Colbert and whether late-night comedy shows can survive the age of the internet.  Follow ...

Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard has revealed evidence that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence in order to create the Russiagate hoax after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016. Will anyone pay a price, or is this another disclosure without accountability? Also, a firestorm has erupted after an Israeli airstrike hit the Holy Family Church in Gaza, killing three and splitting the online Christian ...

Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for New York mayor, is the son of Indian immigrants by way of Africa, but he feels entitled to lecture Americans about their need to convert to socialism. Omar Fateh is the son of Somali immigrants running for mayor of Minneapolis, but he regularly speaks specifically to the "Somali community" and refers to the foreign nation, not America, as his homeland. Maria Salazar, a GOP representative fr...

From the minute Donald Trump came down the golden escalator, the Republican establishment has hated his guts. In the 2016 primary, the brash New York billionaire was treated by mainstream GOP leaders and commentators as a joke responsible for degrading the political process. As the real estate tycoon gained momentum, establishment figures had two choices: Declare yourself "never Trump" or pretend to have seen the light. Many fled t...

Despite serving as vice president, secretary of state, and secretary of war as well as being a member of both the House and Senate, John C. Calhoun receives a surprising lack of attention in modern history books. In addition to his statesmanship, Calhoun also wrote on political theory, including his most important work, "A Disquisition on Government," where he developed his argument for the concurrent majority. Ryan Turnipseed join...

It's been one year since Donald Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The public has still learned shockingly little about the men responsible for the attacks on the president's life, and there seems to be little interest in getting to the truth of what happened on that day. The Prudentialist joins me to discuss the strange lack of focus on these attacks, along with Trump sending new weapons ...
