Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Beito on his book FDR: A New Political Life
Q: How did Roosevelt's wartime leadership and diplomacy influence his legacy in the eyes of historians?
Beito notes that wartime victories and the aura of leadership tend to gloss over darker domestic policies, with historians often defending or downplaying issues like internment and civil rights violations, while emphasizing Roosevelt's strategic use of rhetoric and political pragmatism.
David Beito on his book FDR: A New Political Life
Q: What accounts for the left's enamored view of FDR despite civil rights failures and internment?
Beito argues that while FDR's record on civil rights and civil liberties was poor, the left honors him largely for his expansive welfare state and regulatory achievements, which they see as advancing social protection and economic security, even if done through problematic means.
Peak Human: Lessons from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages with Johan Norberg
Q: What were the top reasons for Rome's decline according to your view?
He argues the empire weakened from within: decentralization, military dictatorships replacing traditional senatorial norms, and centralization of power creating a single point of failure, which together precipitated a gradual then sudden collapse.
Peak Human: Lessons from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages with Johan Norberg
Q: You chose seven places, seven periods to focus on. Why this selection and how did you structure the work?
Norberg explains he focused on seven pivotal civilizations, examining the rise factors, the institutional foundations, and the causes of decline, to draw broad lessons about what sustains golden ages over time.
FDR’s War on the Bill of Rights
Q: What do you think accounts for the failure of government to check FDR's violation of the Bill of Rights?
Courts were partisan, the Attorney General did his job in a weak way, but there were many who opposed FDR's actions.
