Charlie explains why his attitude has shifted, then steps back to assess the wider MAGA...

What lessons does Theodore Roosevelt teach to conservatives today? He has many, but one of the most important, Charlie argues, is the importance of discomfort.

Newly-released documents show that the FBI had detailed, specific allegations of corruption by the Biden family in Ukraine, all the way back in 2020.

Why did so many American churches lock down? Why did so many Christian submissively keep their churches closed and the Gospel silent while liquor stores stayed open and BLM rioted in the streets?

Vitaliy joins Charlie to discuss stoicism, investing strategy, "thoughtful arrogance," the value of cold water, and mor...

The left warns that if Donald Trump wins the presidency again in 2024, he will use it to seek revenge on the federal government. But the question is: Is that even bad?
