  • Declining Into Partisan Nonsense

    This used to be a reliable place for rigorous and candid thought. These days they seem to be placating the right leaning side of their audience, mostly by avoiding subjects that would force them to confront their past decisions.

  • Absolutely one of my must listen podcasts. They've been remarkably accurate, consistent, and principled. They are worthy of your time, in my opinion.

    I really love the wide array they discuss as it's always based in substance. Refreshing. Science not Scientism. I love that the most.

  • Audience Capture

    Loved the recent episode where Heather held Brett accountable for manosphere rhetoric. It was a breath of fresh air actually hearing heterodox discourse. It’s hard to listen to Brett always spinning things to a positive light for Trump these days. I mourn the old Dark Horse

Unholy War: A Conversation with Tucker Carlson on DarkHorse
Q: What is your read on Netanyahu's leadership and its impact on U.S. policy?
Netanyahu is a highly capable, strategic leader whose actions influence U.S. foreign policy; his leadership style and regional ambitions shape how allies and adversaries respond, sometimes strengthening cooperation but often escalating tensions and complicating peaceful diplomacy.
Unholy War: A Conversation with Tucker Carlson on DarkHorse
Q: What do you see as the core threat to the West's ability to sustain its democratic institutions?
The threat comes from a combination of escalating tribalism, the co-option of political power by a few, and the deliberate erosion of checks and balances, which is being accelerated by a global narrative that pits groups against each other and discourages open, nuanced discussion.
