For decades, American hiring and admissions have been distorted by a legal and bureaucratic regime that promised equal treatment while repeatedly rewarding institutions for sorting people by race and sex. The Civil Rights Act itself does not exclude white men; Title VII protects employees from discrimination because of race and sex regardless of which race or sex they are. But affirmative action r...

Everyone is talking about how the implementation of artificial intelligence will revolutionize employment or education, but very few are talking about how it will change politics. The managerial revolution changed how societies were organized, placing large amounts of power into mass bureaucracies and mass media. Now the AI will replace much of the population management that was achieved thorough...

Josh Daws worked inside Disney for years watching it destroy its own brand by joining the woke revolution. The ideology increased, the budgets got out of control, and the art suffered. Now, Josh is using his talents to produce "The Continuing Adventures of Mary Sue," an AI-driven series with a very different message. Josh joins me to discuss his time at Disney and how AI changes everything. ...

There has been a lot of debate over the American economy and the reality of the affordability crisis for average families.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was a devastating blow to conservatives, but almost as shocking was the response from parts of the left. Major figures issued the expected denunciations, yet plenty of ordinary progressives celebrated the violent death of a father and husband or mocked his memory online. Conservatives learned that some of their neighbors were perfectly willing to cheer the murder...

The Trump administration secured a flurry of big wins recently across several different categories. On immigration we have seen the deportation of Hattians who lost their Temporary Protected Status, a $100,000 fee for H-1Bs, and a pause on immigrant visas. The administration also secured big victories in the courts that will allow ICE to continue deportations and will also allow restrictions on ma...

Every government has to use force, but is that what defines the state? Is the government a servant of the people or just an organized crime family with better public relations? News Fist joins me as we read Charles Tilly's "War Making and State Making as Organized Crime" to better grasp the origins of government and the realities of power.

British political commentator Melanie Phillips recently made a social media post claiming that the British are not allowed to have a national identity but Israelis are required to have one. The arguments stemmed from her belief that the British were not a real ethnic group with a right to a collective self-determination, while the Israelis do share a real ethnic bond, so their claims are valid. Un...

When I first entered the public arena, the focus of my work was almost entirely on why the Right needed to take power seriously. Conservatives had suffered a devastating string of political and cultural losses because they focused on argument and ideology while paying little attention to the way power actually worked. That criticism drew plenty of hostility from defenders of the status quo who did...

Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the horrific crime of allegedly murdering her three children after sending her husband out to do errands. Even the defense in the case is not bothering to argue that Clancy is innocent, only that she may have been temporarily insane due to postpartum depression. Despite this admission, women online have raised a massive amount of money while creating a conspiracy the...

Jason Arday was the youngest black professor in the history of Cambridge University and a man with a very bright future until it was revealed that sections of his work had been plagiarized. Arday was found dead after the fraud had been uncovered, and the Left have turned him into their latest martyr. J. Burden joins me to discuss why Arday was  a villain, not a victim. We will also discuss Je...

Everyone knows that America allied with the Soviet Union to win World War II, but the relationship quickly soured. A large number of Soviet spies were discovered in the U.S., and Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisc.) began his famous crusade against communist infiltration in 1950. McCarthy died in 1957 with most conservatives admitting that his mission was not successful, but what are the implications of...

Massachusetts Democrat Gov. Maura Healey, a lesbian who claims to be Catholic, signed legislation this week liberalizing abortion while surrounded by progressive women celebrating the right to murder their healthy babies up till birth. To conservatives who rightly regard late-term abortion as the killing of a viable child, the scene was grotesque. It also illustrated a political asymmetry conserva...

It is now well known that the Biden administration flooded the United States with illegal immigrants utilizing an open-borders policy, but few people discuss the legal mechanisms the Democrats were also using to import foreigners. Brian Chau of Effort News joins me to discuss his latest investigation into the role that religious charities played in importing foreign population, with some groups re...

Socrates is one of the most revered figures in the history of philosophy, but Fredrich Nietzsche had serious questions on the impact the Greek philosopher had on the West. Did the Socratic tradition forever alter the Greek understanding of virtue? Did that change shift the direction of Western thought for thousands of years? Rogue philosophy professor Athenian Stranger joins me to evaluate Nietzsc...

Deace lays out an alternative plan that could hold this monster accountable. We also discuss the GOP's disastrous messaging on the war in Iran and affordability going into the midte...

The conservative political class is committing one of the most disastrous acts of political malpractice in recent memory. When Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre chided Americans for complaining about the price of staples such as milk and eggs, she did serious damage to the Democratic Party. Many voters backed Donald Trump because they trusted him to address inflation and the broader afforda...

The establishment conservative crowd had a recent meltdown over the fact that more and more people on the Right are begging to use the phrase "the common good." Pundits asserted that the phrase is akin to "social justice" and signals a rise in socialist sympathies on the Right. The only problem is that this phrase has been used by figures throughout history like philosophers, theologians, and the...

Muslim immigrants are swarming the Spanish territories of Morocco after the country's socialist President Pedro Sanchez recently granted mass amnesty to illegal immigrants. European Union members are threatening to cut Spain out of the EU's Schengen Zone, which allows for open-borders travel, for fear that the migrants might spread deeper into Europe. Author Joshua Lisec joins me to analyze the si...

Liberals increasingly treat politics as religion. They may have abandoned traditional faith, but they have not abandoned devotion. They possess saints, heretics, rituals, taboos, pilgrimages, and a vision of salvation. That political faith has given progressives the commitment required to capture institutions, build machines, and shape the future. Conservatives often respond with mockery, but prog...

Author Rod Dreher made a recent appearance on "The Jeremy Boreing Show," where he attacked JD Vance and the New Right. Dreher has a nasty habit of going after fellow conservatives and did not disappoint in this appearance. Both men heavily implied that criticism of the state of Israel is the equivalent of adopting fascism and warned that Vance may be influenced by these sinister forces. J. Burden...

YouTube commentator News Fist joins me as we continue our reading of historian John Glubb's famous essay "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival."  In this episode, we explore the central nature that religion plays in the rise of empires and how its decline coincides with a rise in selfishness. We'll also analyze the roll that welfare plays in decadence, which always spells doom for an e...

For decades, truck driving remained one of the best options for blue-collar Americans to achieve a middle-class lifestyle. In a world where overpriced college degrees were required for the most simple jobs, trucking allowed a man to care for his family with relatively little time or money invested. Now foreign labor cartels are moving in to dominate the industry, displacing native-born Americans w...
