Modern people see the nation and state as inseparable, but this was not the case for most of history. The nation-state is a relatively new concept that was imposed across the globe after World War I. While many are pushing for a renewed understanding of nationalism, the fact may be that the nation-state has run its course. We'll dig into the history and political theory behind the nation-state.

"Go woke, go broke" has been a popular slogan in conservative media, but did losing money really mean that woke propaganda did not work? Woke movies, video games, and shows often lost money and were the subject of ridicule, but many of the ideas central to that leftist propaganda have now become normalized. Video game studios like BioWare may have closed down, but YouTuber Aydin Paladin joins me to explain why they ultimately won t...

U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) told an audience at the University of Chicago that she wants future investigations of Trump administration officials to send a deterrent message. Young people considering jobs in a Republican administration, she said, should wonder whether joining it might buy them “a ton of problems.” Slotkin describes her proposal as accountability for corruption. But listen to the threat embedded...

The Trump administration is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over claims of immigration fraud and financial misconduct. There is a distinct possibility that Omar could face deportation. Jack Posobiec, author of "Unhumans: Socialist Revolution — Tactics for Patriots to Survive a Communist Uprising," joins me to discuss why it is so critical to the future of the United States to be able to deport enemies of civilization ...

Americans are being told that restricting legal immigration would rig the competition for jobs and college seats. Apparently, allowing citizens to compete with the entire planet is “meritocracy,” while giving them preference in their own country is “discrimination.” The argument has gained force as scrutiny moves from illegal crossings to work visas and foreign student admissions. Employers use H-1B visas to...

Immigration has become the central topic for the American Right, triggering a debate over the nature of American identity. Topics like religion, heritage, culture, and tradition are surging back into mainstream discussion. Many establishment conservatives are scrambling to silence the debate and return to the status quo, but those efforts are failing. R.R. Reno, author of "Return of the Strong Gods," joins me to to discuss. Follow...

The recent National Conservatism conference in Israel generated a lot of controversy by featuring a panel of Americans delivering some tough love on the political realities of U.S.-Israel realizations. Friends of the show Matthew Peterson, Jonathan Keeperman, and William Wolfe all gave provocative speeches, with Keeperman being attacked directly by figures like Ted Cruz. Wolfe joins me to discuss the event and the controversy that ...

For decades, progressives have used the sexual revolution to erode all standards except that of consent. But in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations at Cornell University, the question of whether consent is a sufficient moral condition for sexual relationships has come to the forefront. Progressives are now trying to reconstruct a more complex understanding of sexual standards after they destroyed the Christian bedrock on whic...

In the wake of sexual assault allegations at Cornell University, the victimization of women on college campuses has returned to the public conversation. The Left describes campuses as sexual assault factories. The Right describes them as camps for progressive indoctrination. Still, liberal and conservative parents drill their daughters for the SAT, pack their schedules with extracurriculars, hire admissions consultants, and sweat o...

J. Burden joins me to discuss a recent survey that found 89% of Boomers on Social Security would raise taxes on young people to keep their benefits. Why are older conservatives crying about the rise of socialism while they extract government benefits from younger generations? We also look at a bizarre crashout from Dinesh D'Souza and the fact that multiple Democrats are openly announcing their plans for replacing the American popul...

Christian metal acts are more common today, but when Skillet began playing, the idea of these two worlds colliding was relatively new. The band gained more notoriety in the secular music scene than the Christian world, but the members always kept their mission front and center.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) recently ran a political advertisement about welfare reform. The plan she described was great, but the advertisement featured a lazy white guy as the stereotypical representation of a welfare recipient, even though that is the group least likely to receive aid.

Things are not looking great for Vivek Ramaswamy. Two polls released this week put Democrat Amy Acton ahead in the Ohio governor’s race. Marist has Acton leading 50% to 44% among registered voters, while a Suffolk poll has her ahead 50% to 41% among likely voters. Another survey has Ramaswamy narrowly ahead, so the race is hardly settled. But Ohio, a state Donald Trump carried comfortably in 2024, should not be producing this...

All human institutions, customs, traditions, and ways of being originate to serve the needs of specific peoples. The collective experiences, struggles, and beliefs of a tribe create a pattern of being, or a code, that organically rises to meet their specific challenges and perpetuate their way of life. These institutions and systems are territorialized, meaning they are deeply embedded in the specific cultural context of the tribe ...

News Fist returns as we wrap up our reading of "Collective Violence, Contentious Politics, and Social Change" by Charles Tilly. In this episode, we address Tilly's assertion that warfare is the main catalyst of growth of state and the most effective method of centralizing its power. Does the state exist primarily to extract money to wage war? We will evaluate the purely materialist frame and whether it provides a sufficient foundat...

The center-left academic Robert Putnam is well known for his research on social cohesion, but his research led to a discovery that he suppressed for years. When Putnam finally came forward with his data, he revealed that diversity has negative impact across almost all domains of social cohesion. People in diverse societies trust the government less, have fewer friends, participate less in civic organizations, and spend more time at...

Over the last few decades, many industries discovered they could grow their customer base and profits by selling a cheaper, inferior version of their product while degrading the experience for everyone. Air travel and theme parks are obvious examples. Both learned that the advantages of scale could outweigh the obligation to deliver a high-quality experience. That philosophy did not remain in the realm of economics. It spread slowl...

A battle has broken out inside the conservative movement over the nature of American identity. Many establishment conservatives insist that America is a propositional nation where you only need to love freedom and wear a football jersey to belong.

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
