Ep 310July 1914: Countdown to War (Sean McMeekin)

Of a time of constant crisis and nothing appearing to actually happen—not 2024, but 1914. And of how "nothing ever happens" turned to "everything is different now."

Ep 309The Camp of the Saints (Jean Raspail)

Today we discuss a book that, fifty years ago, predicted with great precision the current predicament of the West, swamped by invaders as its own will evanesces. And in this light, we discuss racial harmony and Christian duty.

Ep 308Elon Musk (Walter Isaacson)

In which I predict, against the haters and naysayers, that Elon Musk is an excellent, and in fact the leading, candidate for America's Man of Destiny. And also of entrepreneurship and getting rich.

Ep 306The Gravediggers: The Last Winter of the Weimar Republic (Rüdiger Barth and Hauke Friederichs)

A day-by-day account of the final days of the Weimar Republic, a period poorly understood by modern Americans, with lessons for us—but not the lessons most think.

Ep 305Conservatism: A Rediscovery (Yoram Hazony)

An excellent work from Yoram Hazony, which clearly distinguishes what is Right from what is Left—and correctly concludes that much of what is called "conservatism" is merely poorly-disguised leftism, as is so-called classical liberalism.
