The Anthropic Whistleblower Is Not Who You Think He Is Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

AI researcher Jacob Coxon quit his job at Anthropic last week and became a whistleblower, warning that the race toward superintelligent AI is "gambling with our lives." Another Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, backed him up, putting the odds of AI apocalypse within a decade at over 10%. Then, Anthropic published a 154-page AI safety report on all sorts of alarming ways the technology is evolving.

Anthropic was founded as an AI-safety-conscious competitor to OpenAI. It’s company culture is heavily influenced by effective altruism, a utilitarian philosophy that attempts to optimize the wellbeing of the entire planet and every future person yet to be born.

So, should these dark predictions be taken seriously, or are they the ravings of paranoid ideologues? And our the panicked response, will we end up running head-first into a government regulation disaster?

Catholic Historian: Here’s Why We Know That the Bible Is True Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

I sat down with historian of early Christianity Matthew Larsen, Ph.D., fresh off his shoot in the Middle East tracing the life of Paul the Apostle, to dig into the evidence for Jesus, the biblical canon, and the Catholic Church.

We get into:

* How historians actually know what’s true about the ancient past

* Why the “Jesus never existed” theory keeps resurfacing online

* Where Wes Huff’s viral apologetics differ from real historical scholarship

* Why the idea that “Paul invented Christianity” is a 19th century German myth

* How the Apostolic Fathers reveal a strikingly Catholic early church

* What actually happened at the Council of Nicaea

* Matt’s personal journey from evangelicalism to the Catholic Church

25 Years After 9/11: How “Never Forget” Became “We Deserved It” Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

Zohran Mamdani just appointed Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who once represented an Al Qaeda member, as New York City's chief legal counsel. This sparked outrage from 9/11 families and a petition demanding that he not attend this year’s 9/11 memorial collected more than 100,000 signatures.

A hundred million Americans have been born since 9/11, and campus interviews reveal that many were never taught who attacked us or why. Osama Bin Laden's “Letter to America” went viral on TikTok a couple years ago as if it were a revelation rather than propaganda.

Twenty five years after 9/11, some have forgotten the first major crisis of the century, and others have rewritten the story.

Bond Market Breakdown: Are We Headed for Another Fall Financial Crisis? Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

The bond market wobbled this week, and Secretary Bessent is now buying back government debt just to keep long-term interest rates from climbing further. Bond market volatility in the early fall has a bad history of signaling worse to come, from 1929 to 1987 to 2008.

The national debt sets a new all time high every day, recently crossing the $40 trillion mark. The U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has allowed us to kick the can down the road for decades, but interest payments on the national debt are reaching unsustainable levels and now the bond market is starting to push back.

Are we at the point of no return or can we still grow our way out of this mess?

The Sexual Revolution “Liberated” Adults. But What About the Kids? - Katy Faust Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

I sat down with Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us and author of “Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City,” to talk about what adults are and aren’t willing to sacrifice for the wellbeing of children. Katy has spent her career defending children’s rights to their own mother and father, touching on adoption, gay marriage, surrogacy, and IVF. We also get into how she raised kids who think for themselves even while attending Seattle public schools and her personal experience with the adoption system.

We get into:

* Why children are safer with their own married mother and father

* What the data actually says about stepparents and abuse

* How the sexual revolution reshaped our whole society

* Why legalizing gay marriage meant eliminating “mother” and “father” from the law

* The truth about IVF and the fertility industry

* Why adults’ desires are now put before children’s needs

* What Christianity requires of us when defending kids

The Lindsay Clancy Trial Has Exposed a Moral Psychosis in America Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

The Lindsay Clancy trial has exploded into the latest social media gender war over postpartum mental health, the role of mothers in society, and the nature of moral responsibility. The defense says postpartum psychosis is to blame and that she shouldn’t be held criminally responsible in the deaths of her three children. Now the jury is deciding whether they buy her story.

Videos of women excusing Clancy’s actions or promoting conspiracy theories implicating her ex-husband have spread like wildfire on TikTok. Hundreds of women showed up to her trial wearing pink in solidarity and her family has now raised over $1,000,000 on GoFundMe. Meanwhile, Massachusetts lawmakers just legalized abortion up until the moment of birth to great fanfare.

Both reflect the same moral drift: a culture that has grown increasingly comfortable letting mothers decide when they are, and aren’t, responsible for the lives of their children.

How Elite Consensus Botched COVID, Climate, and the Economy - Dr. Steven Koonin Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

I sat down with theoretical physicist Dr. Steven Koonin, author of “Unsettled” and former Under Secretary of Energy for Science under President Obama, to discuss what he calls the “consensus trap.” He argues that the 2008 financial crisis, COVID policies, and climate alarmism all followed the same template, and the people who got it wrong faced no accountability while the costs fell on the poor. Institutions built policy on flawed models, manufactured an elite consensus, and punished the scientists who dissented.

We get into:

* Why Fauci saying “I represent science” was a betrayal of science

* How the RCP 8.5 climate scenario was used for propaganda

* Working as BP’s chief scientist and inside the Department of Energy

* Why the global energy transition hasn’t moved the needle on fossil fuel use

* Why wind and solar can’t be the backbone of the electric grid

* The real risks of EMP attacks and solar storms

* The state of nuclear power and small modular reactors

* How AI is reshaping energy reliability, affordability, and emissions

The Jason Arday Scandal Is White Guilt on Steroids Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

Last week, Cambridge’s youngest ever black full professor was found dead, days after resigning under investigation for plagiarism and his fabricated life story. Jason Arday claimed to have run 600 miles in six days, couldn't speak until age 11, and still earned a PhD by 30. When the scrutiny finally caught up with him, Amnesty International's response was to call for censorship.

Meanwhile, MIT's black enrollment dropped from 13% to just 5% after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against affirmative action. Racial preferences in admissions have not achieved the supposed goal of closing educational disparities between black and white Americans, but instead have just papered over them.

The West has spent decades manufacturing token success stories to manage its own white guilt. Can we finally admit that meritocracy was the right answer all along?

Can the West Survive Its Crisis of Faith? - Os Guinness Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

I sat down with Os Guinness, author of “Our Civilizational Moment,” to discuss how the West has become a “cut flower” civilization. Os argues that the slow secularization of the West has left its freedom, virtue, and sense of meaning disconnected from the foundation that sustained them for centuries.

We get into:

* Growing up in China during WWII and the rise of Mao

* Why the West is a “cut flower civilization”

* The golden triangle of freedom, virtue, and faith

* Why atheism conflicts with free will

* Whether Islam can adapt to Western norms

* The Hebrew Republic’s overlooked influence on America’s founding

* The rise of antisemitism on the left and right

* What it will take for the West to come home to its own roots
