Everyman Commentary

What happened to the superior messaging of the Democrats? Why are their candidates so terrible and obsessed with inflicting violence? And is toppling public monuments still cool? Auguste has a conversation with special guest Dr. Adam Ellwanger, a professor of rhetoric at the University of Houston Downtown and a frequent contributor to a number of conservative publications including The Blaze, Chro...

Another week, another instance of leftist violence and Republican impotence. Auguste and Evan discuss the most recent attack on ICE agents, with both feeling frustrated with the relative inaction of the Trump administration. Both agree that Sen. Ted Cruz needs be primaried (and start dieting). Recalling their discussion of Dudley Newright’s article about Reddit, the cousins discuss the leftist bra...

After sitting out a week to grieve the truly awful murder of Charlie Kirk, the cousins come together once more to discuss what’s going to follow. Both pay homage to the incalculable impact of Kirk on the conservative movement, consider what comes next, and debate whether his wife Erika has what it takes to continue his legacy. They also discuss Kirk’s demented murderer and the toxic leftism that d...

In the wake of RFK Jr.’s recent hearing in the U.S. Senate, Evan and Auguste discuss the current health of MAHA, the Left’s fixation with Trump’s health, anarcho-tyranny in the UK, and the coming golden age of public safety in American cities. Evan flexes his extensive reading on public health and the history of vaccination while Auguste maintains respectability by offering his normie smooth-brain...

The cousins are back again to discuss the news of the day and counting Trump’s wins. First, they talk about the current cleanup of DC, the problems of urban crime, and the innumerable obstacles to overcome to achieve basic objectives.

In this episode, I am joined by my friend and fellow teacher-writer Jeremy Adams . Jeremy is the author of several books, including Hollowed Out , which discusses the issues afflicting the Zoomers (before it was cool), and Lessons in Liberty , which profiles 30 great Americans who can serve as models for today’s Americans.  As we start the new year, Jeremy and I offer our diagnoses for the current...

Tony gives us his overview of the new Naked Gun movie while Auguste goes on extended rant about old actors who need to throw in the towel to give a chance to younger talent. We also discuss the state of comedy today, the power of Gen X nostalgia, and the need for conservative actors and filmmakers to come out of the (political) closet. As with all things, there’re reasons to be hopeful about the f...

Auguste and Evan discuss a viral essay from Dudley Newright that explains how Reddit has made everything in our society lame. From starting as an online forum for dorky introverts to find one another, the platform and its moderators have come to dominate the thinking and sentiments of society, particularly with millennials. While Dudley argues that Reddit was the origin of so much of what’s wrong...

Tony offers his thoughts on the new Superman film. For what it’s worth, he recommends it if one goes into it with the right expectations (that is, low ones). We discuss the strange wokemongering preceding the film and the challenges of making a compelling Superman film in general. This prompts Auguste to nerd out and discuss his disappointment with the latests installments in the Marvel and DC Cin...

In this episode, Auguste and Evan hash out the Epstein controversy, carefully consider the very un-startling revelation that staffers were abusing Joe Biden’s powerful autopen, and offer eulogies for NPR and PBS. By some miracle, we managed to keep the conversation to an hour, and by yet another miracle, Evan managed to have something new to say about Epstein. Articles Cited in this Episode: “ Cri...

In this episode, we review the biggest conservative voices and determine how they fare against one another in a tournament bracket.
