Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of the murder of Austin Metcalf. The verdict can never compensate for Metcalf's death, but it is good news that justice has been done in a high-profile case charged with racial tensions. Matthew Williams will join me to discuss the verdict as well as a big win for the Trump administration around the issue of disparate impact.

Bovino explains the full-spectrum strategy that was implemented when the administration began deportation and why it was so effective in closing the border. We discuss why that strategy was placed on hold by the forces arrayed against the deportation mission. Bovino also lays out why deportations are the only political issue that matters in the current political environment. Follow on: App...

Bodycam footage from the United Kingdom has turned Henry Nowak’s death from a local outrage into a national indictment. The footage appears to show officers handcuffing an 18-year-old stabbing victim, dismissing his pleas for help, and treating him as the suspect while he bled to death. Nowak, an 18-year-old from Essex, reportedly told officers, “I can’t breathe,” and “I’ve been stabbed.” Officers mocked him, denied that he had been injured, and debated whether they had any obligation to check. ...

The second Trump administration started off with incredible momentum. In addition to the fast pace of executive orders, the Right was gaining cultural momentum. People no longer had to hide their support of MAGA, and mainstream outlets were writing resentful stories about how fashionable Trump fans had become. Now, the administration can't even keep has-been musicians from publicly abandoning the country's 250th anniversary celebration. Columnist Scott Greer joins me to discuss what happened alo...

Martin Heidegger is considered one of the most important philosophers of all time, but his works are also regarded as impenetrable. One of his more approachable writings and one of his best is his essay on the nature of technology. The piece reveals a thinker who is less worried about technology itself and more worried about the mindset technology creates in the human being. Philosophy scholar Michael Millerman joins me to discuss this critical work. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/...

Christopher Nolan is one of Hollywood's last great filmmakers. Many of his previous movies have even been considered conservative or reactionary for the different themes he has addressed. But Nolan's new version of "The Odyssey" looks to be filled with woke tropes and modern rewriting. Author James Keena joins me to discuss why everyone in Hollywood is so desperate to change the source material they are using to tempt audiences into the theater.

The hicklib is usually a social outcast, a failson who needs a moral explanation for why he hates the community he never fit into. His resentment searches for a theory that will dignify his rage, and the progressive missionaries installed in local institutions are happy to provide one. The hicklib has become one of rural America’s petty plagues. But as the value of college degrees collapses, a new breed is emerging: the fail-lib.

The artificial intelligence boom has become one of the biggest engines of the American economy. It has also triggered growing backlash against the data centers that make the boom possible. Tech moguls have rushed to build giant warehouses packed with the computing power needed to run AI systems, but they have done almost nothing to explain to ordinary Americans why those facilities deserve so much land, water, electricity, and political favoritism. That failure should have created an obvious ope...

Ezra Klein of the New York Times recently released a podcast about liberalism in crisis. In a surprisingly insightful moment, Klein recognized that liberalism was failing because it had been severed from its traditions, but Klein spent the rest of the episode explaining why he hates so many of the people who founded those traditions.

Online Catholic personality Bishop Barron recently interviewed former leftist turned centrist Dave Rubin. The discussion felt like an odd relic ripped out of 2016. Both men seemed confused about the political landscape in front of them and why the moderately liberal utopia they envisioned never came to pass. The fact that a Catholic bishop also made no mention of Rubin's lifestyle or his use of surrogacy seemed like a cowardly dodge. We'll be breaking down some of the highlights from the intervi...

The construction of AI data centers is exploding across the United States, but many communities are rejecting them. In addition to questions about environmental impacts, many residents near data centers are experiencing terrible noise and large increases in their power bills.

The fact that marriage in America is on the decline is concerning, but few people understand how deep the problem goes. Recent data shows the dismal marriage numbers in the United States. The percentage of married couples, average age at which couples are marrying, and number of children are all in catastrophic decline.

As we continue our reading of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," we examine the political theorist's chapter on glory and why it is valuable to the ruler. Machiavelli encourages great undertakings and the appearance of virtuous behavior, but always with an eye to their political utility, not their moral value. We'll also explore Machiavelli's warning about fortresses and how it applies to figures like Donald Trump in the modern day. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-au...

Pro-life advocates have won big victories under Donald Trump, but they have always been unsatisfied with his public priorities. Activists are pushing for a ban of the abortion pill right before midterm elections because they have been unsuccessful with referendums on the state level. What many fail to understand is that despite the legal changes, the American culture and the financial system have now become entirely dependent on abortion. Without a shift in incentives, voters will continue to re...

In our modern world, it is very common to conflate motives we do not understand with some form of mental illness. This is understandable when it comes to horrific crime. Someone like a serial killer is so violent and twisted that it is hard for us to comprehend his actions, and there is certainly a fair amount of mental illness that is a factor. But today people often use this explanation when it comes to political disagreements. Abortion, hatred of Christians, the mutilation of children to turn...

Many conservatives see American politics as a clash of ideologies in the marketplace of ideas. But there are other forces sitting under the surface that shape our elections. Large waves of immigration create foreign diasporas that seek to use their shared political power to secure advantages for their own communities, or in some cases to benefit the country they came from. We'll be looking at Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" to help us better understand the ramifications of this phen...
