Who is To Blame for High Gas Prices? Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

Joe Biden takes a lot of flack for high gas prices. Blame him on social media for them, and inevitably someone in the comments says the President has nothing to do with gas prices. Is this true? What causes gas prices to rise to historic rates? And what effect do diesel prices have on inflation?

Roy Mathews is a public policy associate at the Alliance for Innovation and Infrastructure (Aii) in Arlington, Va. He has previously been published in RealClearEnergy, National Review, and the National Interest. He is a Young Voices contributor.

Explaining the Dark Corners of the Internet May 30, 2022

Show notes

Social media and talk hosts have recently shared the blame for mass shootings, but these outlets are not the progenitor of ideas like the Great Replacement Theory. They're exploiting the numbers built in darker corners of the internet. While this aired on March 20th, 2019, the information is still sadly as relevant today as it was after the New Zealand shooting. Harry Price and James Nease join me. Nease was one of the first people on 4Chan, and has been a moderator since its beginning. He explains the culture of what the media is mislabeling the "far right." We also discuss the alienation of young men in today's society and what steps we can take to bring people out of isolation and into healthy communities.
