Texas is supposed to be one of the most fiercely American states in the union but has recently seen the construction of a massive Hindu idol and has plans for an explicitly Muslim city. Is this just freedom of religion at work, or do Americans have the right to prefer their religion and culture? Ronald Dodson, CEO of Dallas North Capital Partners and contributor to the American Reformer, joins me to discuss. Follow on: Apple: http...

Our ruling class members have willingly torched the credibility of the very institutions they rely on for legitimacy — all in pursuit of temporary political advantage. That destruction has accelerated a collapse that now feels inevitable. Liberalism faced an epistemological crisis and failed to meet the challenge. Like every tradition that cannot defend its intellectual ground, it is watching its authority erode into dust. Follow o...

During a recent meeting with Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele pointed out a lesson that Americans have forgotten: Justice for the criminal is liberation for the average citizen. As Karmelo Anthony, the alleged murderer of high school athlete Austin Metcalf, raises hundreds of thousands of dollars while renting a new house and buying a new car, it is hard not to wonder what happened to justice in the United States. C...

Journalist Douglas Murray and comedian Dave Smith recently appeared on an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast that set the internet ablaze. The two men debated their positions on the wars in Gaza and in Ukraine, but what was really striking was the position Murray took on expertise. Murray has spent the last decade arguing against the expert consensus on immigration in his country, but in the debate, he disqualified any opinion that he ...

Modern Christians are regularly told that they must be empathetic and accommodating if they want to properly represent their faith, but is this really what God called us to? Pastor Joe Rigney joins me to discuss his new book, "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits," and how emotional blackmail is being used to control Christians while driving them away from true biblical compassion.

For decades, the global liberal economic order has operated on the assumption that nations could stretch supply chains across the world to maximize efficiency and profit — with little risk. A shocking share of goods essential to U.S. national security are produced almost entirely in China — including antibiotics and components used in American military hardware. The idea that a country would rely on semiconductors from its primary ...

The Trump administration secures a big win after a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that confirmed the president's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent gang members. It's an important victory, but in the aftermath, many have been debating whether or not illegal aliens should receive due process before being removed. We'll also be discussing the pace of deportations and whether the battle over tariffs has overshadowed the ...

A violent attack at a high school track meet has gained national attention after Karmelo Anthony allegedly stabbed fellow student Austin Metcalf to death. Metcalf's father, Jeff, issued a public statement of forgiveness for Anthony, despite the alleged murderer showing no remorse. Many people have also noted the racial dynamic between Anthony, who is black, and Austin, who was white, but Jeff Metcalf has encouraged the public to ig...

In war the battlefield is always changing, but what happens when the mind of the average person becomes the battlefield. Military victories used to hinge on casualties inflicted and territory taken, now control of information can be just as important. YouTuber Charlemagne joins me to discuss the idea of fifth generation warfare and how it impacts conflicts like the one in Ukraine. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/p...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has courted controversy by deporting foreign students involved in protests on college campuses. But this begs a larger question: Why are so many American universities dominated by foreign students in the first place? Columnist Adam Johnston joins me to discuss the incentives that drive mass foreign enrollment and what can be done to make educating American citizens the top priority of American univers...

Marine Le Pen has become the most recent right-wing leader to be disqualified for election by judges in her own country, throwing the entire definition of Western liberal democracy into question. In addition, the post-Trump era should have led to massive political correction for the Left, but while some companies and politicians have adjusted their strategy, many others have doubled down on wokeness. YouTuber the Aristocratic Utens...

Does the process of building a larger centralized national identity destroy the virtues that enable the formation of a republic? Is nationalism the correct vehicle for the concerns of middle-class Americans despite its contradictions? We'll be reading Samuel Francis' essay "Nationalism, Old and New" and seeing how it applies to the modern-day America First movement.

In a better world, people would cultivate virtue and develop habits of right action, practicing them regardless of external pressures. But we don’t live in that world. For most, concepts like honor and morality emerge from community, not individual will. These vital, pro-social behaviors rely on constant reinforcement by others. When daily life consists of anonymous, disconnected interactions, it becomes easier to justify selfishne...

A hacker recently breached the security of New York University and posted what the hacker claimed to be the admissions data for 2024. The alleged data reveals a wide disparity on SAT scores and GPA required based on race, with a clear preference against white and Asian students. This practice flies directly in the face of a recent Supreme Court ruling, which banned affirmative action in college admissions. Attorney Will Chamberlain...

The MAGA movement is culturally ascendant, but with victory comes temptation. Several large "MAGA-aligned" Twitter accounts began making a strange push over the weekend, advocating to maintain the ability of food-stamp recipients to purchase soda with government benefits. It was later revealed that these accounts may have been paid by a third party to advance the interests of large soda companies. Is this a betrayal of trust or jus...

The movie industry is in crisis, as blockbuster after blockbuster flops at the theater. Some art forms, like the novel, feel like they could be eternal, while others, like the radio drama, become artifacts of their time. Do art forms ever die due to cultural neglect or technological advancement, or are they always ready to emerge in new and interesting ways? Art aficionado John Dee joins me to discuss.

From 1960s riots to the 2020 destruction, the Left has always used violence to push its agenda. The recent attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships are part of a long history of leftist terrorism in the United States. A near-monopoly on media and education has allowed progressives to rewrite history, erasing their movement’s violent past.

Just a few months into Donald Trump's second term, activist judges have lined up to block key elements of the president's agenda. Unelected judges are making blatantly unconstitutional rulings in an attempt to stop the deportation of dangerous cartel members and restore funding to progressive patronage networks like USAID. Even Chief Justice John Roberts has outed himself as progressive activist, issuing statements to the press mea...

Activists are once again warning about the dangers of saying "Christ is King" on the internet as a method of chilling speech. Several public figures who represent themselves as conservative have lined up behind an ADL-partnered "research institute" in an effort to stigmatize the religious declaration of truth. Why are so many theoretically conservative activists hostile to this basic statement of faith? We'll be diving into the det...

As the global Left gears up to fight Donald Trump, consumerism has become the battlefield of choice. Canadians are renaming American food and products in a rehash of the "freedom fry" debacle after 9/11. Progressive terrorists are attacking Tesla cars and facilities as a proxy for Elon Musk and his Department of Government efficiency. Corporate brands have become symbols of modern national identity and created a sense of hyperreali...
