  • Colonialism

    Terrific podcast about colonialism. I think it was fair and useful. Colonialism has had some benefits historically for sure. Thomas Sowell has pointed this out for years.

    Mia is immensely articulate regarding Transgenderism. I am concerned for her safety due to her telling the truth but loved the show.

  • Delvey

    Ms Delvey was an excellent guest. She is totally right that any male who thinks they have the right to be in women’s spaces is an abuser. Trans is a suprematist movement in that it says men who claim to be “trans” are given the right to humiliate and harass women 🤷🏽

    The conversations are alright- pretty dime a dozen MAGA talking points. But nothing is more annoying than a person who believes they’re independently thinking when they’ve actually drunk the reddest koolaid ever. Totally disingenuous.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The war on disinformation is actually a war on dissent
Q: What is the Information State, and how does it change our relationship with liberal democracy?
The Information State is a governance model where political sovereignty shifts from traditional institutions to the online space governed by algorithms and data controls, transforming how power is exercised, how information is regulated, and how citizens participate in self-government.
The war on disinformation is actually a war on dissent
Q: Can you explain the recent insane obsession with Israel, the Jews, Zionists? Why has this exploded so much recently?
There are two drivers: after October 7, there was a surge of energy and identification with opposing sides in the conflict, which intensified the pre-existing dynamics of mass formation and conspiracy thinking; and on the right, there has been a long-running effort to attach narratives about Jewish agency to political movements, creating a feedback loop with the left that valorizes or vilifies different sides in a way that makes the discourse self-perpetuating.
The 'woke right' is real, but are its narratives?
Q: Do you think figures like Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Russell Brand are organic to their audiences or orchestrated?
There are likely both organic elements and facilitation—some growth is genuine, but there are deliberate supports, platform placements, and potential ideological alignments that amplify their reach.
The 'woke right' is real, but are its narratives?
Q: What does woke mean in the current political spectrum, and why is it being used on the right?
Woke is framed as a Machiavellian, power‑obsessed, identity‑focused movement that claims to be fighting for a perceived authentic national character, and it has been adopted by some on the right to describe what they see as a similar performative activism in their rival camp.
Did the gay rights revolution go too far?
Q: What would you like to see as the way forward in terms of the gay rights movement?
McCrea suggests a conservative, achievable target: ensure basic protections and the right to be left alone, while avoiding expansive demands that could alienate moderates; focus on securing recognition and non-discrimination rather than broad societal endorsement.
