Theory 2 Action Podcast

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message You can feel justified skipping an election. You can tell yourself it is a protest, a message, a lesson. We challenge that story by walking through a stark thought experiment set in 2031: what happens when frustrated conservatives sit out the 2026 midterms and the Senate flips, the filibuster falls, and judicial confirmations stop cold....

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A young man murders a woman, takes her phone, and calls his parents to brag about how many Jews he killed. That single, sickening detail forces a question most people try to dodge: what do you call an ideology that doesn’t just commit murder, but celebrates it without shame? We use Douglas Murray’s “Democracies and Death Cults: Israel a...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message Three vans. Five men. Two in the morning. And a road that points toward RAF Fairford, one of the most important bomber operating locations tied to US power projection in Europe. When British counterterrorism police make arrests that trigger evacuations and bomb disposal teams, then release the suspects on police bail, it raises a questi...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A normal morning can be the most dangerous setup in history. We look back at two dates that still define American memory December 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001 and ask why they feel so similar at first, yet lead to very different kinds of wars. Using the 9/11 Commission Report as our anchor, we trace how surprise attacks expose somethi...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A Harvard professor made a prediction in the 1990s that sounded almost rude at the time: the Cold War didn’t end history, it just cleared the stage. Twenty five years after 9/11, we take that prediction seriously and ask what Samuel P. Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations gets right about identity, religion, and culture as forces that sh...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message Somebody flipped a switch and more than a hundred hours of work disappeared. That’s not a metaphor. Our Mojo Academy YouTube channel gets terminated with a single email citing “impersonation,” no warning, no specific video, and no clear explanation and it forces a blunt question: if a platform can erase your work instantly, what do you...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A single moment at Abbey Gate still captures a whole era of American foreign policy: a Marine identifies a threat, asks for permission to act, and is told no until the danger disappears into the crowd. Hours later, the Kabul evacuation turns into a massacre that kills 13 American service members and scores of Afghan civilians. Five year...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A 94-year-old cardinal walking into a Hong Kong courtroom might be the clearest sermon you’ll hear all week. Cardinal Joseph Zen sits beside Jimmy Lai’s wife as Lai, a 78-year-old Catholic and pro-democracy publisher, is sentenced to 20 years under Hong Kong’s national security law. Then a reporter asks Pope Leo XIV about Lai, and the a...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message Ninety hours of World War II history sounds like a stunt until you realize what it does to your perspective. I just finished Rick Atkinson’s Liberation Trilogy on Audible, spread across six years, and I can’t stop thinking about what it means to “walk” from North Africa to Sicily, up the Italian campaign, and into the final push across...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message Seventy percent is not a fringe. If you have ever swallowed your words while someone called basic common sense “radical,” this Liberty Minute is for you. We start with a blunt claim: you are being sold a fake 50-50 story, and it is designed to make you doubt what you already know is true. We walk through why we created the free Crazy vs...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message They told Richard Nixon his career was over. Then they told him again. He proved them wrong twice and, for a moment, he looked unstoppable.  I walk through Nixon’s political exile after 1960 and 1962, then his return to win the presidency in 1968 and dominate in 1972. The point isn’t nostalgia or hero worship. It’s a hard look at how co...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message Something snapped in American life and it didn’t start yesterday. We rewind to a question so many of us have asked at kitchen tables, over beers, and at our kids’ games: what happened to our country? Then we walk back through three books that, taken together, offer one diagnosis: America is in the middle of a cultural revolution, and th...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A signature can look like safety, right up until the day it becomes worthless ink. We take you back to 1933 Germany to watch a deal get made with Adolf Hitler and then dismantled piece by piece, revealing why legal guarantees cannot protect anyone when an authoritarian regime treats law as theater. We set the context most people miss: G...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A 78-year-old man sits in solitary confinement in Hong Kong with a 20-year sentence hanging over him. He could have left. He could have said the words that would have set him free. Jimmy Lai refused to lie, and that single act of conscience explains why authoritarian power reacts so fiercely to one person who won’t be bought or frighten...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message America just hit a milestone that should make all of us pause: 250 years of self-government. We’re not doing a victory lap or a doom spiral. We’re making a case. Do the principles that built the United States still hold up, and if they do, why does it feel like we’re struggling to live them? We walk through three “nuggets” that tie the...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message Where do your rights come from, and what happens to a country when it gets that answer wrong? We tackle the most radical political claim baked into the American founding: unalienable rights don’t come from the state, they come from God, and government exists to protect what you already have. That single idea flips the usual power equati...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message America starts as a broke, debt-soaked upstart with a near-worthless currency and almost no industrial muscle, then turns into a nation that produces a massive share of what the world makes. That’s not a trivia fact to us. It’s a question worth wrestling with, because the answer points to what actually drives prosperity and what quietly...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message He told America judges are umpires, not lawmakers. Two decades later, Chief Justice John Roberts is still calling balls and strikes, but sometimes it sounds like he’s redrawing the strike zone. We dig into the irony and the real-world consequences of Roberts’ “institutionalist” approach, starting with one of the most debated Supreme Cou...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A name can hide your mission or it can tell the truth. We’re choosing truth, which is why Team Mojo Academy becomes the Mojo Book Academy. This is not a logo swap. It’s us saying out loud that books are not a hobby on the side, they’re the method of formation, the way tradition is carried, and the way a serious person can still learn fr...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message “These are the times that try men’s souls” still lands like a hammer and we use it as a mirror for the hardest civic question a free country faces: when is war truly necessary? As America nears 250 years, we go back to December 1776, when Washington’s army is collapsing and Thomas Paine writes The American Crisis. Washington has Paine’s...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A leader can denounce the system all day and still end up defending it with their decisions. We take a sharp look at what we call Donald Trump’s “Fauci moment” during COVID: elevating Dr. Anthony Fauci as the public face of “the science,” then publicly turning on him while keeping him in place. That choice, we argue, didn’t just create...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message This is a video and audio podcast:  click here for video Maduro in a New York City jail cell makes for a clean headline, but we can’t rebuild a country with headlines. We zoom out from the drama and ask the harder question: what comes next for Venezuela when the man is gone but the machine remains? I’m David Kaiser, and this Mojo Minute...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message This is a video and audio podcast:   video here The loudest take on the U.S. China summit was that it went nowhere. We see something else: a negotiation structure being built in real time, with the next high-stakes round already scheduled in Washington just 90 days out. Using Michael Pillsbury’s The Hundred-Year Marathon as our guide, w...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message A billion dollars a year. Hundreds of shell companies. And a program designed to help people stay at home that can be exploited with little more than an NPI number and an LLC. That’s the allegation at the heart of today’s Mojo Minute, sparked by an investigation into Ohio’s Medicaid home health waiver billing and the uncomfortable math...

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message This is a video and audio podcast.    here's the video:   The headline said “The First American Pope,” and within hours the storyline hardened into something neat, political, and overly confident. I didn’t buy it, so I went to the source that most commentators skipped: Paul Kengor’s new biography, American Pontiff. What I found is...
