Speaking Hard Truths to Israel | Guest: William Wolfe | 10/12/26
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 Cornell Seven: Consent Was Never Enough | 10/9/26
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 dest
College Is an Altar Where Children Are Sacrificed for Status | 10/8/26
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
Boomer Luxury Communism | Guest: J. Burden | 10/7/26
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 pla

Lead singer John Cooper joins me to discuss the many challenges and victories he and his bandmates experience on the road
Why the GOP Is Attacking Young White Men | Guest: J. Burden | 10/2/26
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) recently ran a political advertisement about welfare reform.

J. Burden joins me to discuss why the GOP is attacking young white men right before a critical el
The Vivek Question | 10/1/26
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,
Territorialization and Deterritorialization: Why Inhuman Systems Are Hijacking Politics | 9/30/26
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 spec

Diversity Is a Weapon That Dismantles Social Trust | 9/25/26
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.

People in diverse societies trust the government less, have fewer friends, participate less in civic or
The American Dream Is Being SOLD as a Luxury Upgrade | 9/24/26
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

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. But identities that are so transactional do not inspire people to sacrifice and die on behalf of a nation. Christian Heiens, cohost of "Making the Argum
Is Government Just a Legal Protection Racket? | Guest: News Fist | 9/21/26

The Debt Crisis Is a Democracy Crisis | 9/17/26
As Republicans head toward what looks like a perilous midterm election, affordability is on everyone’s lips.

Three Models of American Identity | 9/16/26
Many Americans have heard the "melting pot" analogy used to explain the nature of our country's identity, but they don't know that term is relatively new.

Child Care Crashout Reveals the GOP Has a Loser Mentality | 9/10/26
The Trump administration recently revealed it is drafting a proposal, championed by Vice President JD Vance, to change how the government distributes money already earmarked for child care.
