Last year the GOP attempted to pass a bill making it a violation of civil rights law for universities to express certain opinions on the state of Israel. That bill was defeated, but the Trump administration has continued to successfully push for this form of censorship on college campuses. The administration also recently attempted to sneak similar restrictions into disaster relief funding. Author...

In a world of sprawling global political entities, is there any room for the classic nation-state? Nationalism has been branded as hateful and outdated, but my guest, Yoram Hazony, author or "The Virtue of Nationalism," joins me to explain why he believes the nation-state is the ideal form of government to preserve the character of individual peoples across the globe. We also discuss why the curre...

At a recent Panamerican Congress in Mexico City, Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois stood before attendees and declared in Spanish, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, helps shape policies vital to the nation’s safety. Yet she openly and proudly identifies with another country — and in a foreign language, no less. Rami...

The Trump administration faced serious backlash after a directive that would have denied disaster relief funding to American cities that decided to boycott the state of Israel. Public pressure forced the White House to backpedal, but the option to enforce this ban may still exist. We'll also discuss the use of artificial intelligence to "resurrect" dead loved ones and the dangers of digital necrom...

Liberal democracy has come to dominate in the Western world, and many believe it to be the best system of government, but does that mean it is mandated by the Bible? Many Christians have conflated their political tradition with a biblical commandment. Pastor Chase Davis joins me to discuss what the Bible really says about the state and whether it demands that we assume one form of government or an...

While America began as an Anglo-Protestant nation, it has managed to assimilate new groups like the Germans and Irish over time. The process has been so effective that some now see the United States as a land of immigrants capable of adding any and every new arrival into its fold. But many groups are now building resilient enclaves inside the United States, in some cases building giant statues to...

Last week, Logan Riley and Brandon Mitchell went viral when the gay couple shared a post of the baby boy they had acquired through surrogacy. It has become very common for gay couples to celebrate purchasing children from their mothers on social media, but as the horrific consequences of surrogacy have become more well known, public opposition has become more common. Many on social media raised co...

An incredibly bizarre outrage has erupted over the appearance of Sydney Sweeney in advertisement for the American Eagle clothing brand. Liberals are calling the ad Nazi propaganda simply for placing an attractive white woman at the center of the campaign. J. Burden joins me to discuss the outrage along with the relative lack of outrage over a white couple being beaten at a music festival in Cincin...

We cover everything from body modification to transgenderism and artificial intelligence and explore how humanit...

Birth rates are falling all over the world as modern societies struggle to reproduce themselves. Young people are finding it harder and harder to date and form families.

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed evidence that the entire Russiagate hoax — a scheme to derail President Donald Trump’s first term — was manufactured by the outgoing Obama administration. At a press gaggle on Tuesday, Trump followed up by accusing Obama of “treason” for trying to rig the 2016 election and calling for severe consequences. These revelations matter....

CBS has canceled its long-running "The Late Show," leaving the cringe-inducing host Stephen Colbert without a job. Colbert and many of his fellow comedians have already branded the move as some form of political censorship, when in truth the answer is simple: Colbert just wasn't that funny. The great Wade Stotts joins me to discuss the fate of Colbert and whether late-night comedy shows can surviv...

Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard has revealed evidence that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence in order to create the Russiagate hoax after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Zohran Mamdani, the leading candidate for New York mayor, is the son of Indian immigrants by way of Africa, but he feels entitled to lecture Americans about their need to convert to socialism. Omar Fateh is the son of Somali immigrants running for mayor of Minneapolis, but he regularly speaks specifically to the "Somali community" and refers to the foreign nation, not America, as his homeland. Mar...

From the minute Donald Trump came down the golden escalator, the Republican establishment has hated his guts. In the 2016 primary, the brash New York billionaire was treated by mainstream GOP leaders and commentators as a joke responsible for degrading the political process. As the real estate tycoon gained momentum, establishment figures had two choices: Declare yourself "never Trump" or pretend...

Despite serving as vice president, secretary of state, and secretary of war as well as being a member of both the House and Senate, John C. Calhoun receives a surprising lack of attention in modern history books. In addition to his statesmanship, Calhoun also wrote on political theory, including his most important work, "A Disquisition on Government," where he developed his argument for the concur...

It's been one year since Donald Trump miraculously survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The public has still learned shockingly little about the men responsible for the attacks on the president's life, and there seems to be little interest in getting to the truth of what happened on that day. The Prudentialist joins me to discuss the strange lack of focus on these attacks, al...

Earlier this week, Charlie Kirk reported that President Trump was facing significant pressure from the GOP donor class to strike a bipartisan deal that would provide amnesty to illegal aliens working in agriculture and hospitality. Establishment Republicans have always hated Trump, and the fact that his supporters have demanded true border security and immigration enforcement has played a major ro...

When it was revealed that David French would be joining Jordan Peterson, many conservatives let out a collective groan. In a surprise twist, however, the conversation turned out to contain some surprising truths about the problems facing young men.

After implying repeatedly that the Trump administration had serious evidence incriminating the clients of Jeffrey Epstein, the FBI and DOJ have now announced that there is no client list, that there is no evidence that Epstein blackmailed anyone, and that the infamous figure definitely killed himself. At this point, it is reasonable to ask what in the world is happening inside the administration....

For most of human history, scarcity was the enemy. Be it territory, land, wealth, calories, or energy, the majority of conflict and technological innovation was driven by the fact that resources were scarce. With the incredible explosion in scientific knowledge and technological advancement over the last few hundred years, the dynamic has shifted. Scarcity has not vanished across the globe, but in...

Elon Musk recently claimed that he will be challenging politicians who supported the spending in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and might start his own party based on opposing reckless spending. The billionaire even ended up debating the philosopher Nick Land on the issue. Could Musk's third party succeed where the Libertarian Party has failed? The Prudentialist joins me to discuss.  Follow on: Ap...

This year's Pride Month is at an end and it is clear that the activists have lost significant momentum. War in the Middle East and riots in Los Anglos helped to wound a cultural movement which was already struggling from overexposure and a string of conservative victories. Does this mean the end of the Pride movement, or will gay rights simply return to a raunchier and more honest advocacy for the...
