The Reality Taboo

In late 2020, the world was told Pfizer's COVID vaccine was "95% effective." That number became the foundation for government mandates, employment requirements, and the social pressure placed on anyone who asked questions. But what did 95% actually mean? Ness and Jeff break down what the trial data actually showed — an absolute risk reduction of less than one percent, a two-month follow-up window,...

Ness discusses the massive layoffs and downsizing at the Daily Wire and what it illustrates about the right's inability to maintain any kind of institutional power, how DOGE is even deader than DW, why Trump's failure to flip-flop on things that matter are why he is so viscerally hated and shares a clip of the head of NPR explaining a favorite observation of the show - that the truth is merely inc...

Tucker Carlson praises figures while distancing himself from their ideas, has been on every side of Trump depending on the moment, and has a documented history of saying one thing in private and the opposite in public. So is he a fraud? Or is he the most politically savvy coalition builder on the American right — a man who understands that the fringes, the dissidents, and the dispossessed need a t...

Antidepressant use among American adults has quadrupled in a generation and a half, and Canada's dramatic expansion of assisted suicide may be part of the same story. Then Ness and Jeff turn to Burnham's The Machiavellians and apply it to the Brand scandal — the allegations, the timing, the 77th Brigade connection, and the Christianity pivot. Is this accountability, or elite competition by other m...

Ness and Jeff dig into the history and science of IQ testing — where it came from, how it works, what it measures, and what the data shows about cognitive differences across individuals and populations. We cover the g factor, the Flynn Effect, heritability, the relationship between IQ and standardized tests like the SAT and LSAT, and the policy implications of what the research shows.

James Burnham predicted in his 1941 work The Managerial Revolution that capitalism and socialism were both finished — and that a new class of bureaucrats, technicians, and institutional managers would inherit power instead.

Far from being an oppressive tyrant who ruled with an iron fist it was Pontius Pilate's cowardly tolerance of evil that condemned Christ to the cross

César Chávez has a California state holiday and a legacy carefully curated by the American left — until now. Ness and Jeff break down the sexual abuse allegations against César Chávez and the part of his record that never made it onto the murals: his militant campaign against illegal immigration. If this is the standard, how does MLK survive it? Plus: Jasmine Crockett's Texas Senate collapse, her...

Ness discusses perceptions of discrimination in America and how they compare to empirical realities on the ground

Ness discusses the attack on Iran, sewage crossing the Potomac, how Americans feel about demographic transformation, how virtual reality proves we are living in a simulation and wonders why basketball isn't height-classed like wrestling is weight-classed

Four mass shooters, all transgender-identified, all with severe documented psychiatric histories, all connecting their violence to gender identity distress in their own words. Jeff and Ness lay out the case files — Nashville, Minneapolis, Tumbler Ridge, Pawtucket — then trace the clinical framework that is architecturally designed not to see the connection. They also break down the Cass Review, th...

He then moves to the AI revolution with Seedance 2.0 as the focal point, who the most popular leader in America is, how successful the TPUSA halftime show was and ends by looking at fertility trends in the US Seedance 2.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1clYnx7a8TI

A Black man is convicted of kidnapping and sexual assault in Louisville. Despite his unhinged courtroom tirade, a Black female judge slashes his sentence in half — and references his race in her reasoning.

After the January 7th shooting during an ICE operation, Minneapolis erupted. Should Trump invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy federal troops to restore order? Should federal prosecutors target the organized groups facilitating the obstruction?

Ness narrates Vox Day's foreword to Jon Del Arroz's book Churchianity: How Modern American Churches Corrupted Generations of Christians

Mitchell Harrison Snow claims he witnessed Erika Kirk at Fort Huachuca the day before Charlie's assassination—his story has problems so severe even Alex Jones pushed back. Charlie Kirk allegedly sent two communications in his final 72 hours: one verified through FBI documents, one existing only as third-hand testimony. Erika Kirk told CBS she didn't date or drink in New York, yet evidence clearly...

Ness discusses the meeting between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk and the light it sheds on Charlie's killing, the escalation in the right's ongoing civil war and why the contrasting anger towards Owens and pity towards Tyler Robinson rubs the wrong way

Jeff and Ness examine the Charlie Kirk killing and the explosive conspiracy theories that followed. Candace Owens—whose podcast hit #1 globally after Kirk's death—claims foreign militaries and Kirk's own colleagues orchestrated his assassination.
