  • 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.

    While the community is still reeling from 2 back to back terror attacks on Jews by far-leftists, Boyce chooses to bring on a no name “Rabbi” to discredit Zionism. Because that’s really the problem. I will seek intellectually honest conversations elsewhere.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

s08e36 | Political Heresies, with Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson
Q: How do you discern between true faith and nationalistic manipulation of religion?
By focusing on the core gospel of Christ, rejecting Old Testament-centric, geopolitically motivated readings, and emphasizing the New Covenant, humility, and the liturgical life over political power.
s08e36 | Political Heresies, with Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson
Q: What have you been focusing on with your work lately?
I've been building up a SubStack where we write about theology, geopolitics, and markets, plus we've been appearing on podcasts and launching an Orthodox church project including a church in Vermont; it's a mix of theology and public discourse.
s08e38 | Inside MAGA, with Vish Burra
Q: What does Burra see as MAGA's core mission and leadership model?
He articulates MAGA's mission as maximizing the value of American citizenship by reforming immigration, industry, and national security; leadership is framed around charisma, work ethic, and brains, but sustained by fundraising power and donor-driven coalitions that ultimately decide who rises to power.
s08e37 | Tom Vassel, in Calmversation
Q: What is the Jack Vassel Memorial Fund, and why is it important to you?
It's a charitable fund born from personal loss that provides financial help to gamers facing emergencies, reflecting the community's willingness to support one another beyond just gameplay.
s08e37 | Tom Vassel, in Calmversation
Q: What role do conventions play in your work and in growing the community?
Conventions are the lifeblood for connection—hosting events, panels, and gatherings; they also present logistical challenges, but they're essential for meeting fans, discovering new games, and shaping the hobby's future.
