Former Attorney General Bill Barr joined Rep. Crenshaw to cover some of the important legal considerations in America’s efforts to defeat the Mexican drug cartels. How would a second term of the Trump Administration have dealt with the cartels? What are the costs and benefits of designating them as Foreign Terrorist Organizations? What is the U.S. capable of doing to stop a Mexican politician if we have strong evidence that they are working with the cartels? What would be the repercussions if the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is not renewed? All this and more in our second episode in the series documenting Rep. Crenshaw’s Task Force to Combat Mexican Drug Cartels.

Bill Barr is the author of "One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General". He was attorney general twice under both President Trump and President George H.W. Bush.

Yascha Mounk is a writer and academic known for his work on the crisis of democracy and the defense of philosophically liberal values. His new book “The Identity Trap” traces the origins of identity politics and how it’s rapidly transforming the modern world. He joined Rep. Crenshaw to discuss how identity politics grew out of postmodernism and Critical Race Theory. They talk about how postmodernists and populists are rejecting the history, institutions, and core values that make for a healthy democracy. And Yascha gives some sage advice on how to persuasively engage in debates with your political opponents.

Father Vincent Lampert is a Catholic priest and the designated exorcist of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis. He joined Rep. Crenshaw to unveil the fascinating mystery behind exorcisms and dispel the many myths and taboos associated with exorcisms. They discuss how priests become exorcists, how exorcisms are performed, and the steps to evaluating whether a person is truly possessed by a demon. Father Lampert shares some of the extraordinary and seemingly impossible events that he has witnessed while performing exorcisms. The hierarchy of demons, how they manifest in the world, entry points for possession, the occult, and much more are all discussed in this wide-ranging conversation.

Father Lampert is the author of “Exorcism: The Battle Against Satan and His Demons.” He was appointed exorcist of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis in 2005.

Part 1 in a series with The Dissident Project, an organization dedicated teaching American high school and college students about the horrors of authoritarianism from young adults who experienced it firsthand. Daniel Di Martino is from Venezuela. Tahmineh Dehbozorgi is from Iran. Both were once among the freest and most prosperous nations on their respective continents. Daniel and Tahmineh joined Rep. Crenshaw to describe the roads their home countries went down to end up at the same point: violent, oppressive regimes where the citizens have no hope to make their own destinies. They ask us to consider what could lead America down that same road.

Daniel Di Martino is the founder of the Dissident Project and a Graduate Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. He was born and raised in Venezuela and witnessed the collapse of his country under the socialist policies of Chavez and Maduro. He emigrated to the United States in 2016.

For years, the scientific consensus has been that the revolutions in biology, physics, and evolutionary theory would disprove the possibility of a God-made universe. But, as it turns out, new discoveries in each field are challenging that consensus. Dr. Stephen Meyer joined Rep. Crenshaw for a wide-ranging conversation about molecular biology, self-replicating RNA, discontinuities in the fossil and paleoanthropological records, the origin of human consciousness, multiverse theory, the philosophy of science, and what it all means for the origins of life and our universe.

Hoover Institution’s Lanhee Chen returns to survey the current state of the American healthcare system, including Medicare/Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and private insurance programs — along with new path breaking models, like Direct Primary Care. We discuss policy reforms that could bring much needed transparency and simplicity to care delivery. And we discuss why “choice and access for all” is a better way to think about healthcare policy as opposed to calling it a “human right.” We also talk about the implications of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on affirmative action in college admissions. 

Lanhee J. Chen, Ph.D. is the David and Diane Steffy Fellow in American Public Policy Studies at the Hoover Institution and Director of Domestic Policy Studies and Lecturer in the Public Policy Program at Stanford University. Follow him on Twitter at @lanheechen.

Chloe Cole decided she wanted to be a boy when she was 12 years old. What happened next is a shocking indictment of mental health and medical professionals. Puberty blockers and testosterone therapy at age 13. A double mastectomy at 15. At every step of the way Chloe and her parents were manipulated by therapists and doctors who wanted to affirm a gender ideology which had no grounding in scientific reality. Chloe joined Rep. Crenshaw to share her journey and why she is fighting to stop minors from transitioning today.

North America holds enough oil and gas reserves to provide cheap, clean, and reliable energy to the rest of the globe for many decades – so why isn’t it? Energy analyst Arjun Murti breaks down the key factors at play: capital investors who are wary of uncertain regulatory environments, countries like China and India that won’t give up on coal, and a little-known group called the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (which is actually implementing all the terrible ideas that groups like World Economic Forum only talk about). Arjun explains how America – through a new Marshall Plan of government and private sector initiatives – can overcome these roadblocks to become the leader in global energy.

Arjun Murti has spent over 30 years as a global energy markets analyst with firms like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. Read his Super-Spiked substack at https://arjunmurti.substack.com/ and follow him on Twitter at @ArjunNMurti
