  • Corruption of the American Republic

    The show that hosts Russian fascist Dugin during Russian fascist invasion of Ukraine is complicit in normalizing anti-Western ideology. The word “fascism” is overused but Dugin is truly a Russian fascist ideologue who stands against everything dear to the American Republic—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of thought. Corruption of the American Republic via corrosive Russian influence

  • Hosts talk too much

    Wow, the host/hosts won’t stop talking. They ramble for ages. Talking nonsense and forgetting they have guests.... also the same talking points over and over about men failing, liberalism, Marxism etc.

  • Woke Right

    God bless you but you are in a cult my man. “They” did not shoot Trump in the head. A troubled young man who should not have access to an assault rifle shot at him and grazed his ear. If Trump as you said “bodied” Hilary Clinton then by your measure Joe Biden “bodied” Trump. And no it’s not OK to say HH and Cooper adds nothing insightful and yes America’s entry into WWII to oppose Hitler was heroic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

s09e06 | The John Birch Society: The Original “Alt-Right”? with Joe Wargo
Q: What is the role of the John Birch Society in navigating the infighting on the right and unifying the right?
Wargo says the Society organizes local chapters, shares information and coordinates long-term grassroots work rather than concentrating on election cycles, with the aim of influencing local government and culture.
s09e06 | The John Birch Society: The Original “Alt-Right”? with Joe Wargo
Q: What are the core principles of the JBS, and how has that evolved over the last few decades?
Wargo identifies strict constitutionalism, limited federal authority and restrained foreign policy as central principles, arguing that government powers should follow constitutional limits and foreign policy should serve American interests.
s09e05 | Rethinking the US Constitution, with Wanjiru Njoya
Q: What got you interested in the topic of heritage American and the West's struggle with liberalism?
Njoya explains that the topic relates to how ancient ideas of liberty and modern demands for equality intersect, and she ties it to her historical work on memorials and reconstruction to show how debates over heritage reveal deeper questions about who we are and what we owe to future generations.
s09e04 | Who is American? What is America? with Kaiser von Lohengramm
Q: How do you see the role of the Founding Fathers and foundational documents in shaping modern policy and identity?
The guest suggests that while founding texts are essential, their selective interpretation and political weaponization by later leaders distorted original intents; restoring a historically informed, exoteric understanding of the Founders can reconnect people with authentic American tradition.
s09e04 | Who is American? What is America? with Kaiser von Lohengramm
Q: Is America a propositional nation in your view, and what are the risks if it tries to become one?
He contends that a true propositional nation is self-contradictory and dangerous, since requiring adherence to a fixed creed would exclude many and undermine inclusive governance; instead, identity should be rooted in shared culture and history while allowing for natural evolution.
