Election 2020: The Fight Begins | The Roundtable Ep. 42 Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

November 3 has come and gone, but we still don't know who’ll take the White House come January. Election officials seem to have spent the day flailing around wildly, and the night doing...nothing. Despite the uncertainty, our editors identify the most important takeaways to keep in mind as the election unfolds.

Pre-Election Calm | The Roundtable Ep. 41 Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

In a desperate final gambit for relevance, the legacy media has been actively trying to prevent you from hearing about Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings with foreign powers. Increasing numbers of independent sources are confirming pieces of the story, but of course defending ol’ Joe is the legacy media’s first and only priority. With the election around the corner, the full editorial cast is back in the saddle to discuss how they are feeling about the election and what to watch out for. Plus: everyone makes an election prediction.

Toobin or not Toobin | The Roundtable Ep. 40 Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

In a disgusting display of unbridled power, Twitter and Facebook have censored the New York Post’s exposé on Hunter Biden--Twitter has gone so far as to lock the Post out of their own account for days on end. While the exposé is still a developing story, parts of it are now confirmed true. Spencer and David commandeer the studio this week to break down the censorship issue and the exposé. Plus: Jeffrey Toobin decided to uh, enjoy himself on a business call. Some are trying to defend the indefensible.

Crack is Back | The Roundtable Ep. 39 Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Surprising nobody who’s paying attention, Facebook and Twitter decided to preemptively censor a New York Post exposé about Hunter Biden’s role in mediating between a Ukranian businessman and Joe himself. Effectively, Big Tech has decided you do not deserve to choose for yourself what is plausible and true. Our editors discuss what got us to this point in Big Tech censorship, and where we’ll likely go from here.

The Harris Class | The Roundtable Ep. 38 Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

Mike Pence took the stage last night against Kamala Harris. On full display were Kamala’s religious identitarianism and her utter mediocrity. Our editors expand on this and more, breaking down not just the debate, but the context in which the debate took place--a context of managerial decadence, televisual decline, and ruling class failure. What will come next? It’s anybody’s guess, but what’s certain is that America’s future as a nation and a regime is at stake.

The "Debate" | The Roundtable Ep. 37 Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

Trump took on Joe Biden and Chris Wallace in the debate on Tuesday night, demonstrating more than anything how far off the Left and the media are from reality. Our editors analyze Biden’s lies and Trump’s smartest moves, drawing some unexpected parallels to the Lincoln-Douglas Debates.

Escalation | The Roundtable Ep. 36 Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

The Berggruen Institute’s VP of Programs, Nils Gilman, recently tweeted out what is tantamount to death threats against Michael Anton. No retraction has been forthcoming. Unrest in Louisville bubbled over into the shooting of three police officers. Add in the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and you have a recipe for one thing: escalation.

On Death Threats | The Roundtable Ep. 36 Segment 1 Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

Calling for the death of your political opponents is wrong, right? Right. Well, The Berggruen Institute’s Nils Gilman seems to think calling for death is acceptable if the target is a deplorable such as Claremont senior fellow Mike Anton. Our editors deplore this troubling development.
