2026/10/05

Christian metal acts are more common today, but when Skillet began playing, the idea of these two worlds colliding was relatively new. The band gained more notoriety in the secular music scene than the Christian world, but the members always kept their mission front and center. Lead singer John Cooper joins me to discuss the many challenges and victories he and his bandmates experience on the road and in making their latest album. Follow on:Apple:

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) recently ran a political advertisement about welfare reform. The plan she described was great, but the advertisement featured a lazy white guy as the stereotypical representation of a welfare recipient, even though that is the group least likely to receive aid. J. Burden joins me to discuss why the GOP is attacking young white men right before a critical election. Follow on:Apple:

The Vivek Question | 10/1/26

Things are not looking great for Vivek Ramaswamy. Two polls released this week put Democrat Amy Acton ahead in the Ohio governor’s race. Marist has Acton leading 50% to 44% among registered voters, while a Suffolk poll has her ahead 50% to 41% among likely voters. Another survey has Ramaswamy narrowly ahead, so the race is hardly settled. But Ohio, a state Donald Trump carried comfortably in 2024, should not be producing this kind of anxiety for Republicans. Some of the explanation is national

2026/09/28

News Fist returns as we wrap up our reading of "Collective Violence, Contentious Politics, and Social Change" by Charles Tilly. In this episode, we address Tilly's assertion that warfare is the main catalyst of growth of state and the most effective method of centralizing its power. Does the state exist primarily to extract money to wage war? We will evaluate the purely materialist frame and whether it provides a sufficient foundation for understanding the nature of the state.

The center-left academic Robert Putnam is well known for his research on social cohesion, but his research led to a discovery that he suppressed for years. When Putnam finally came forward with his data, he revealed that diversity has negative impact across almost all domains of social cohesion. People in diverse societies trust the government less, have fewer friends, participate less in civic organizations, and spend more time at home watching television. We'll review Putnam's findings

The American Dream Is Being SOLD as a Luxury Upgrade...

2026/09/24

Over the last few decades, many industries discovered they could grow their customer base and profits by selling a cheaper, inferior version of their product while degrading the experience for everyone. Air travel and theme parks are obvious examples. Both learned that the advantages of scale could outweigh the obligation to deliver a high-quality experience. That philosophy did not remain in the realm of economics. It spread slowly but surely into American public life. The United States government

No One Fights for a Country That's Replacing Them |...

2026/09/23

A battle has broken out inside the conservative movement over the nature of American identity. Many establishment conservatives insist that America is a propositional nation where you only need to love freedom and wear a football jersey to belong. But identities that are so transactional do not inspire people to sacrifice and die on behalf of a nation. Christian Heiens, cohost of "Making the Argument," joins me to discuss. ollow on:Apple:

Is Government Just a Legal Protection Racket? |...

2026/09/21

Every functioning government provides physical protection while demanding money in the form of taxes. The state will send armed men to lock you up if you do not pay. Does that mean that governments are nothing but a glorified protection racket?

As Republicans head toward what looks like a perilous midterm election, affordability is on everyone’s lips. The Biden administration never convinced voters that it had brought food and housing costs under control. Some Republicans have tried to pretend the problem does not exist; others have acknowledged it without making meaningful progress. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump made choices that worsened the pressure, from expanding federal spending to deepening costly foreign commitments. Neither

Three Models of American Identity | 9/16/26

2026/09/16

Many Americans have heard the "melting pot" analogy used to explain the nature of our country's identity, but they don't know that term is relatively new. For most of the nation's history, the "Anglo-assimilation model" was considered the standard. Immigrants could come from all over Europe, but they were expected to conform to a predominantly British culture. We will be looking at Samuel Huntington's book "Who Are We?" to help us understand the

A drop in fertility rates across the world are impacting almost every society, but no one seems to have any good solutions. Attempts to reward motherhood or support it financially have largely failed.

Child Care Crashout Reveals the GOP Has a Loser...

2026/09/10

The Trump administration recently revealed it is drafting a proposal, championed by Vice President JD Vance, to change how the government distributes money already earmarked for child care. The plan would tap the roughly $12 billion Child Care and Development Fund and make some of that money available to married couples with a stay-at-home parent. No new appropriation is involved. After months of conservative outrage over fraud and abuse in child care programs, you might expect the Right to welcome

Americans are very proud of their intuitions, but over time, those organizations have become bloated and corrupt, exploiting those they were meant to serve. Older generations have sought a way to preserve the intuitions through reform, but young people are seeking more radical solutions.

We Need Lawfare for White Men | 9/3/26

2026/09/03

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 rules, consent decrees, diversity mandates, contracting preferences, and institutional risk management

Algorithmic Sovereignty and Post-Human Politics | 9/2/26

2026/09/02

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 bureaucracy, but that means control of the algorithm also means control of the state. Follow on:Apple:

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.

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 of a political opponent. Since then, trade wars, foreign wars, and the usual daily controversies have

Trump Is Stacking Big Wins | Guest: Jeremy Carl |...

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 mail-in balloting.

2026/08/21

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. Unfortunately, Phillips is far from alone in this belief, which has created a real barrier to robust
