Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.109 - Matt Kibbe on Why Fauci Will Go to Jail and Trump Is Failing | Free the People | Deep State | Forever Wars
Q: May I ask what your theories are?
Kibbe outlines theories linking the Deep State to intelligence agencies, suggesting the boss of Fauci might be within CIA or Homeland Security, and argues that accountability would come from a subpoena-driven process that could reveal who Fauci worked for and what decisions were made.
E. Michael Jones on Logos, Revolution, and the Battle for the Catholic Mind Culture Wars | Jewish Revolutionary Spirit
Q: What do you hope Catholics take away from this conversation about critique, conscience, and the role of bishops today?
I hope Catholics will engage authentically with their faith, question official narratives when they conflict with truth, and defend the freedom of the Gospel against what I see as attempts to redefine morality through contemporary political correctness.
E. Michael Jones on Logos, Revolution, and the Battle for the Catholic Mind Culture Wars | Jewish Revolutionary Spirit
Q: You describe a 'Jewish Revolutionary Spirit' and the role of Zionism and Communism. What is the historical basis for this claim, and how do you respond to critiques?
The historical basis lies in the documented revolutions and political movements of the 19th and 20th centuries; I acknowledge that not all Jews participated, but I argue there is a pattern of revolutionary influence tied to certain ideologies that I attribute to a shared opposition to Logos.
E. Michael Jones on Logos, Revolution, and the Battle for the Catholic Mind Culture Wars | Jewish Revolutionary Spirit
Q: Your opening questions address accusations of anti-Semitism. How do you respond to those claims in light of your definitions of anti-Semitism and Judaism?
I reject the contemporary usage that labels any criticism of Jewish power or policy as anti-Semitic; I argue there is a theological and historical definition rooted in the Logos and in the rejection of the Logos, which I see as the true basis for understanding the term.
Ep.105 - Jeremy Tate on How One Test Is Reclaiming American Education | CLT | Classical Learning Test | Western Tradition
Q: What is that exactly, Jeremy?
Jeremy explains that CLT is an alternative to the SAT and ACT, created to align with a broader, classical educational vision rather than a purely credentialing function.
