  • Social justice

    Great show, episode 70, figuring out the right rhetorical response to New York’s turn to communism.

    Are you saying to frame the issue (law and order, vagrancy, care and concern, etc) as social justice for the bulk of New York City citizens. Is this on the right track?

  • One of the best in 2026

    Culture and politics come and go. Well this one has arrived and has the potential to stick. Rufo and L0m3z go deeper and more insightful than most. They have a special eye towards actual results and winning, without compromise.

    Not everyone should have a podcast. But these two should have had one sooner. Keep it up.

    The Rufo and Lopez show is quickly becoming one of the best and transcending this sort of local-minimum political discussion that dominates media.

    Recommend.

Muslim Brotherhood Have Infiltrated USA...Now They're Grooming Future Leaders on the Left & Right
Q: Why is there tension between intelligence agencies and political leadership in addressing these threats?
The guest notes politicalization of intelligence, where leaders influence prioritization and analysis, leading to inconsistent focus and delayed action on evolving threats.
Muslim Brotherhood Have Infiltrated USA...Now They're Grooming Future Leaders on the Left & Right
Q: What is the current threat level from Iran and its proxies within the United States?
The guest explains a layered threat: external operations and targeted assassinations by IRGC tools, alongside embedded influence networks that can affect domestic politics and security policy.
Muslim Brotherhood Have Infiltrated USA...Now They're Grooming Future Leaders on the Left & Right
Q: Explain what you mean by the Muslim Brotherhood engaging in influence operations and how that works in practice.
They are described as financing political candidates, funneling money into universities and local organizations, and embedding themselves in community structures to build a long-term political footprint that extends beyond overt activism.
'I Went Down Every Rabbit Hole' — Andrew Kolvet Breaks Down Charlie Kirk Murder Conspiracy Theories | Ep 68
Q: What did the preliminary hearing reveal that helped clarify the case?
Kolvet explains that the hearing showed concrete pieces of evidence—DNA linked to the suspect, the murder weapon, and video and surveillance data—that collectively create a stronger case than the rumors suggested, which helped shift the conversation toward the facts.
How Nolan's 'Odyssey' Was Influenced by Trump Derangement Syndrome | Ep 69
Q: Is Nolan betraying the original text or simply reinterpreting it for the modern age?
The guests discuss adaptation versus appropriation, with some arguing Nolan preserves the symbol universe while reimagining its moral framework for contemporary concerns, and others claiming it diverts too far from the source without sufficient regard for Homeric heart.
