    Will The Right Retaliate?

    Will The Right Retaliate?

    Those who have gone after Trump in court, among other places, are now voicing concern that if Trump gets elected, there will be retaliation. In times past, you would have heard plenty of people on the right condemning such action as a principled and a slippery slope…but what happens when the slippery slope is already here? Today we will discuss what right-wing retaliation might look like if Trump gets elected.

    The Real Reason Africa Is Poor (It's Not Colonialism) w/Magatte Wade

    Magatte Wade has made comments that many, especially academics, are incendiary, which is that colonialism is NOT why Africa is poor. Why does she think that?

    Israel vs Iran: Who Would Win?

    Israel vs Iran: Who Would Win?

    Iran has attacked Israel directly, launching over 300 drones and missiles into Israel, targeting a combination of military and civilian targets. But with minimal effect. The question is, what will Israel do next? Will the US get involved in a significant way, or should we? And could tiny Israel actually win a war against Iran?

    The Reconquest of Masculinity

    The Reconquest of Masculinity

    The operational environment sucks. Let's be honest. It is almost instantly mocked when we say it is hard for young men these days. Still, when you look at stats that matter, things like inflation, the growing rift between young men and young women, 4th wave feminism, I think it needs to be acknowledged that while material wealth and physical security remain high, our fundamentals are off in a way that can be far worse than other forms of difficulty. Ask yourself, would you rather grow up in a time of severe economic challenges and even war, or when it seems impossible to accomplish the dream of owning a home or having a family?
    Hear me out on this for a moment.

    The Reconquest Of American Culture

    The Reconquest Of American Culture

    You’ve heard us talk about all these cultural institutions that have become completely co-opted or dominated by the left. It has seemed like they are so powerful, so overwhelmingly dominant, and so confident that they are impossible to defeat. Today, we’re going to give you all the reasons why all of that is a lie and how they have shown us exactly how to beat them.

Authentic Americanism

Always timely and grounded explanations of issues from the perspective of the core principles of the Republic.

So Refreshing!

I recently came across this podcast having looked to see if Nick did anything other than brilliant, wise-guy shorts. 😄 I’ve been catching up listening to back episodes and have been challenged and charged. It’s so refreshing to hear a podcast that discusses and debates from an angle of Truth and Godliness. Thank you for all of your work, Nick, not just on this podcast but across many avenues of influence. …from a fellow (gag) politician trying to make changes for right.

Debating in Good Faith

So refreshing! Thorough, good-faith debating and fair acknowledgement of complex considerations, still broken down to bedrock principles. This is a show that promotes understanding instead of one that inflames. Plus, Nick is the only one I know who uses the word “problematic” well 😆.
