Ep. 740: Is Texas Secession Illegal? Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

The 2022 election has more people talking about decentralization. Texas has always claimed it can secede. Is this true or is it illegal?

Ep. 739: Did Reconstruction Create American "Gun Culture"? Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

According to one dopey leftist, American "gun culture" was created by Reconstruction and racism. You see, he argues that before 1865, Americans rarely owned firearms. The problem, of course, is that he uses a widely discredited book to build his argument.

Ep. 738: Guelzo's Gettysburg Address Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

Allen Guelzo is perhaps the most conspicuous Lincoln myth-maker in America. A recent piece at the Wall Street Journal highlights his mischaracterization of "Honest Abe" as a acolyte of the founding generation.

Ep. 737: The Red Ripple Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Republicans vastly under performed last week leading to a red ripple. I still think they will have a two seat majority in the Senate after the Dec 6 run off in Georgia, and they will have a narrow majority in the House. What does this mean? Nothing, as I explain.

Ep. 736: Is the "New Right" that New? Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

For the last several years, politicos have been talking about the "new right". But what is it, and frankly is it that new? Or better yet, did Donald Trump's "America First" and his outsider message differ that much from what some people--including Jimmy Carter--say in the 1970s? Only historically ignorant people, and that would include the modern media, think so.

Ep. 735: Why Do We Celebrate Losers? Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

There is something noble about losing, particularly if your cause is just, but in the modern era, we continue to view political losers as heroes, especially if you are on the left. They don't fit the just cause group. They are mostly just losers.

Ep. 734: Rum, Ginger Cakes, and Elections Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

We tend to think that modern elections are more corrupt than any in American history. Is that true? It depends on how you define "corruption." I discuss historical election shenanigans, particularly those in colonial Virginia.

Ep. 733: Brandon's Speech Against "Political Violence" Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

President Brandon decided to warn us against "political violence" last week. He also railed against voter suppression and other bogeymen on the eve of the 2022 elections. This was arguably the worst speech of his administration. Hyperbole, platitudes, and slogans.

Ep. 732: Does an "Anglo-American" Tradition Exist? Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Michael Anton bristles at the notion of an "Anglo-American" tradition, arguing that children of non-English immigrants cannot be part of that tradition. Instead, he thinks the American "regime" needs to be based on "natural rights." This is a confused mess based on a bad reading of American history.

Ep. 731: Tradition vs. Ideology Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Paul Gottfried wrote a recent piece questioning Straussian commitment to natural rights "ideology" compared to a society rooted in the Anglo-American tradition. What is more important?
