Welcome to Your Cultural Revolution | The Roundtable Ep. 21 Segment 1 Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

There’s a cultural revolution taking place on your city streets, your screens, and even your bookshelf. Mayor De Blasio vows to name a street in every borough “Black Lives Matter,” Gone with the Wind is erased from HBO, and Drew Brees bends the knee while being dragged through the mud to avoid getting cancelled. More in sorrow than in anger, our editors contemplate the radicalization of our ruling classes.

Seattle is Mentally Ill | The Roundtable Ep. 21 Segment 2 Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

The state of nature is on full display in a pocket of Seattle called the “Autonomous Zone.” It turns out to be a fishbowl into which Americans can gaze and see all the effects of leftist miseducation on full display. It took less than 48 hours for a warlord to emerge, of course, and things only get wilder from there.

Churchill-Palooza | The Roundtable Ep. 21 Segment 3 Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

The Antifa outrage mob attempts the wholesale erasure of history, sweeping through the U.S. and Europe and leaving no monument untoppled. Winston Churchill, the great leader who literally took the fight to real fascists, is among the first to be defamed. By way of Shakespeare and Lincoln's second inaugural, Ryan and James ask: when will it end?

America is Not Racist | The Roundtable Ep. 20 Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

The country watches the effects of the 1619 Project come to life in the form of weaponized social justice and anti-American riots. The ruling class goes full force in their efforts to unseat our elected president. Woke channels brainwash children with a gnostic leftist fantasy, and those who should know better sadly capitulate.

Coronavirus Cancels Campus | The Roundtable Ep. 18 May 21, 2020

Show notes

The coronavirus has America paralyzed by poor decision-making. In the midst of the chaos it claims a new victim: higher education.

Plus: in a grab bag of bashing, our editors lament Michigan's petty tyranny and lambaste California’s ham-fisted lockdown.

The Coronacrisis Drags On | The Roundtable Ep. 17 May 14, 2020

Show notes

As stay-at-home orders are senselessly extended in parts of the country, our editors contemplate the indignities of life under mediocre government officials drunk on emergency powers. Many of those officials currently find themselves mired in scandals extending back to the Obama administration. Plus: will Big Tech be our savior or our demise moving forward?

Plus: the anti-American 1619 Project continues to poison American education and discourse, and now its creator has a Pulitzer to lend her faux legitimacy. Our editors shout into the void.
