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.

Wokeness Comes for the GOP | The Roundtable Ep. 64 ft. Scott Yenor Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

From Vermont to Arkansas, GOP governors are bowing to wokeness in spectacular displays of misunderstanding of what time it is politically. Scott Yenor, a Washington Fellow for the Center for the American Way of Life, joins the podcast as a special guest to analyze the depths of depravity feminism and wokeness have brought us to.

Digital Exile | The Roundtable Ep. 63 Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

Big Tech’s at it again, censoring people—including us—as the effort to scrub Trump from the public square continues. Voting rights is the new hot-button issue, especially in Georgia. And what does US policy in Afghanistan tell us about Biden?

If you’re coming here from YouTube to get the uncensored version, start at 26:03.

Racialized Tragedy | The Roundtable Ep. 62 Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

It’s been a sad week for America. A shooting in Boulder claimed the lives of ten people. And like clockwork, the Left is using it as an opportunity to feast on the Second Amendment. That’s not even the only crisis of the week: the Biden administration is massively fumbling on the border, by conservative and liberal standards. Plus: Kristi Noem fails to read the political room. Twice.

President Deepfake | The Roundtable Ep. 61 Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

Did you watch the Grammys? Us neither. Won’t stop our editors from talking about it, though we’re more interested in a viral clip of Joe Biden—is it deepfaked? It’s not, but it might as well be. Our editors unpack both topics. Plus: it's a battle of the Governors as Gavin Newsom faces recall and Ron DeSantis pops red pill after red pill.

The Woke Orthodoxy | The Roundtable Ep. 60 Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

If you’re a wealthy prep school parent wanting to discuss how the maw of woke culture is swallowing up all things good and true, you’ll have to do it in secret or face instant cancellation. Meanwhile, the House passed the dubiously-titled “For the People Act,” which would do a number on representative government. Plus: The good and bad of National Review.
