Trump Is Losing His Greatest Advantage in Iran — Speed | 3/12/26 Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

The war in Iran has entered its second week, and the Trump administration is fighting on two fronts: the physical battlefield and the narrative one. Most Americans expected U.S. firepower to dominate, and it has. Seven American service members have died so far, but Iran has suffered far heavier losses in lives and materiel. Even those surprised by the damage Iran managed to inflict on U.S. allies can see the basic reality: Tehran is outmatched. The real question was never whether the United States had superior force. The question was whether the administration could sustain support long enough to translate force into victory.

Machiavelli on the Danger of Mercenaries | 3/11/26 Mar 11, 2026

Show notes

One of Machiavelli's most important insights centers on the need for a ruler to have total control over the instruments of violence. In our continued examination of "The Prince," we will take a look at the role of mercenaries in warfare and why the political theorist warned so adamantly against them. We will also delve more deeply into Machiavelli's thoughts on the power of the Catholic Church.

Machiavelli on the Power of Wickedness | 3/9/26 Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

As we continue our series on Machiavelli's "The Prince," we move to some of the most controversial passages. Are wicked rulers more effective? What is the right way to do injury to your enemies? Is the father of modern political theory encouraging the wicked ruler or simply explaining the nature of his power? We'll address all of these classic questions while also investigating how Machiavelli's advice applies to the modern day.

Response: Should America Embrace Empire? | 3/5/26 Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

With Trump's actions in Venezuela and Iran, many right-wing commentators, like my BlazeTV colleague John Doyle, are asking if we should embrace the idea of American empire. This is a critical discussion and a topic that I have invested a lot of time understanding. I respond to the notion that America should expand its role as the global hegemon and provide some alternative models for imperial political structures.

How the Laptop Revolution Destroyed Public Education | 2/26/26 Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

A recent Fortune magazine article made waves with a grim admission: After more than $30 billion spent flooding classrooms with laptops and tablets, standardized scores keep sliding. Worse, neuroscientists now link more classroom screen time to lower performance. The device meant to modernize learning may be helping to unmake it.

The Rise of Rupert Lowe | Guest: Harry Robinson | 2/25/26 Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

Nigel Farage was supposed to be the new right-wing option to the U.K. Conservative Party, but Rupert Lowe has taken the nation by storm. His Restore Britain party is gaining momentum and dominating the public conversation. Is Lowe the man for the job, or will he simply split the right-wing vote in Britain? Harry Robinson of the Lotus Eaters joins me to discuss.
