Lies and More Lies | The Roundtable Ep. 71 May 27, 2021

Show notes

A miracle has occurred! Suddenly, the media is warming to the idea that COVID might have leaked from a Wuhan biolab—an idea which, just last year, they condemned as dangerous conspiracy. But of course that has nothing to do with President Biden having won the election. Surely not. Nor, certainly, is the “January 6 Commission” a cynical power play by house Democrats. Our editors discuss what all this is really about.

Unmasked | The Roundtable Ep. 70 May 21, 2021

Show notes

The CDC has newly proclaimed that vaccinated people no longer need to mask up (duh). But some people can’t seem to let go of the ritual. Plus: violent conflict breaks out between Israel and Palestine. It’s a skeleton crew this week—just Seth and Spencer—as the rest of the cast are out at Claremont’s Washington, D.C. event. Together the two tackle the week’s weighty events and the Left’s appalling response.

The Rise of the Woke Regime | The Roundtable Ep. 69 May 14, 2021

Show notes

The rapidly spreading woke dogma that has taken over our CIA now seems to be ascendant in the military. What does that mean for national security? Our editors analyze. Plus: Liz Cheney has been ousted from GOP leadership, which is good news for everyone who wants to see the the uniparty, anti-American establishment gone.

Woke and Dagger | The Roundtable Ep. 68 May 07, 2021

Show notes

Like so many of our crumbling institutions, the CIA is experiencing a woke takeover of its own, which it’s advertising in incredibly cringey ways. Meanwhile, the forever war in Afghanistan is hopefully reaching a final endpoint. Our editors reflect on what we learned from the experience. Plus: Part I in a mini-series on mapping the political landscape of the American Right.

Recall Fever | The Roundtable Ep. 67 Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

It’s official: Governor Gavin Newsom will face a recall election later this year. Besides the sheer glee of watching Gavin get the boot, our editors have many thoughts about what all this might mean for California and the great national reshuffle. Meanwhile, Texas and Florida take action against big tech, and Jonah Goldberg attacked Claremont on his podcast recently. The cast responds.

Who Needs a Trial? | The Roundtable Ep. 66 Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

Derek Chauvin, the police officer most prominently involved in the death of George Floyd, was found guilty of all charges against him yesterday. This of course did nothing to appease the leftist mob. When Ma’Khia Bryant was shot and killed by police while brandishing a knife, the hive mind immediately switched gears and zeroed in on Bryant’s story. Our editors examine the media forces at work and the deeper issues festering beneath the veneer of righteous fury.

Breaking the States | The Roundtable Ep. 65 Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

With control of Congress and the presidency, Democrats have taken the first steps toward making Washington, D.C. the fifty-first state. But there is even more here than meets the eye, and the rationale behind the Left’s push to transform voting is truly sinister. Our editors analyze the situation and underlying arguments.
