Mike Solana joins us to look at the revolutionary impact of social media on culture, politics, and the future of civilization. Americans have always been divided roughly 50/50 on partisan and ideological lines. But what happened when it became possible for a single piece of information - true or false - to reach hundreds of millions of people in minutes? Mike also gives us an insider's perspective on the culture wars playing out in Silicon Valley and explains why conservatives can and should offer a more compelling vision of the future.

Democrats love to justify progressive policies by citing European countries as examples of socialist utopias which America should aspire to emulate. Luckily we have David Harsanyi here to debunk the left's contentions on almost every political and cultural issue which they claim Europe is beating America at. Free speech. Healthcare. Income inequality. Racial tolerance. Life expectancy. All that and more reasons why America is better than you might think.

David Harsanyi is the author of "Eurotrash: Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent" and a senior writer for National Review. Follow him on Twitter at @DavidHarsanyi.

Sean Spicer joins us for a conversation about President Trump, the Biden-Harris progressive agenda, and the future of the Republican Party. Sean gives us an inside look at what it was like to work for President Trump during the early days of the Administration. We analyze the intentions behind Biden's alignment with the most progressive wing of the Democrat Party. And we talk about the prospects for a Republican victory in 2022, along with the meaningful action conservatives can take to restore America's foundations.

Sean Spicer is the author of "Radical Nation: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s Dangerous Plan for America" and the host of "Spicer & Co." on Newsmax.

For Veterans Day, Sebastian Junger joins us to look at the psychology behind the human instinct (especially among young men) to pursue war and self-sacrifice, how these motivations are inextricably linked to tribalism and community, and the tensions between the rules of community and the individual desire for freedom. We also reflect on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and engage in a friendly debate about the political climate in America today.

Sebastian Junger has spent much of his journalism career embedded in the most dangerous places on Earth, including the Korengal Valley in eastern Afghanistan where he made the documentaries Restrepo and Korengal with his late colleague Tim Hetherington.

As world leaders and environmental activists meet in Scotland for COP26 - the U.N. Climate Change Conference - to negotiate policies that could accelerate decarbonization and mitigate the impacts of climate change, they are largely dismissing humanity's best shot at a carbon-free future: nuclear energy. Rep. Jeff Duncan is one of the foremost experts on nuclear energy policy in Congress, and he joins us to talk about what the world gains by embracing nuclear energy, debunk the misconceptions about its risks, and explain how we overcome the barriers to building more nuclear reactors.

Jeff Duncan is the Representative of South Carolina’s 3rd District and serves on the House Energy & Commerce Committee, where he has been a leader on nuclear energy. Follow him on Twitter at @RepJeffDuncan.

Texas Public Policy Foundation's chief economist Vance Ginn joins us to examine the economic and fiscal policies that are unnecessarily burdening taxpayers, devaluing the dollar, incentivizing unemployment, and creating the current supply chain and energy crises. We discuss what an ideal tax and regulatory system should look like, and have a broader philosophical conversation about the purpose of taxation.
