Prepare to Turn Right

On episode thirteen of Prepare to Turn Right, I respond to Hamas's horrific terror attack against Israel and the ongoing war. I start by outlining a brief history of Israel, Palestinians, and Hamas leading up to the massacre on October 7 before addressing the oversights and attitudes that allowed Hamas to catch Israel so off guard. Then, I discuss overarching themes relevant to the war and debunk common false narratives about Israel. I also answer listener questions about what caused this, what happens next, how anyone could possibly blame Israel for this, and more. Finally, I share some of the lessons I have learned over the past few weeks and play a powerful video of a professor at Columbia speaking out against the pro-Hamas rallies that have rapidly spread across many college campuses.

On episode twelve of Prepare to Turn Right, I introduce you to my sister Gavi! Gavi's interests are very different from mine, and she doesn't follow politics like I do. So, we decided to take the Political Compass Test to see if her opinions line up with conservative ideology or not.

On episode eleven of Prepare to Turn Right, I continue my discussion of Andrew Tate by outlining what exactly makes him a bad role model and a bad person. I illustrate his poor character and immoral behavior. Then, I postulate that Tate's recent “rebrand” is not genuine but instead a grift for conservative attention. Finally, I analyze his interview with Candace Owens and conclude with a final message about what makes movements like feminism and the Red Pill manosphere so problematic.

On episode ten of Prepare to Turn Right, I begin my exploration of the world of Andrew Tate by explaining the rise of the Red Pill manosphere and what it stands for. Then, I outline what makes Andrew Tate so popular and how he has managed to convince conservatives that he is a positive role model. I argue that he has diagnosed the illness in society but prescribed a cure that is rooted in false ideas absent of meaning or morality. Finally, I introduce my discussion of what specifically makes Andrew Tate a bad influence by denunking the arguments Tate himself has made in defense of his character.

On episode nine of Prepare to Turn Right, my friend Aliyah and I debate the importance of gender roles. I argue that gender differences are meaningful and that gender roles should not be erased from society, while Aliyah believes that gender roles are harmful and negatively impact men and women.

On episode eight of Prepare to Turn Right, I continue my discussion of the European migrant crisis by examining some of its unintended consequences. Subtopics include European militia groups, ISIS members getting into Europe via migrant routes, the economic cost, crime increases in Europe, Europe's failure to integrate migrants, the oft-disputed "no-go zones," the impact of the cultural differences between Arab countries and the western world, and the increasing appeal of nationalist parties in Europe. I also share my final reflections on the topic.

On episode seven of Prepare to Turn Right, I begin my discussion of the European migrant crisis by outlining both its causes and the actual reality of the journey. Subtopics include recent news stories which highlight the relevance of this issue today, the general root causes of migration, the role the Arab Spring as well as other conflicts and oppression played in migration to the EU, the routes migrants take, the initial European response, and the dangers migrants face along the way, from trafficking to refugee camps

Hey, guys! I'm so excited to resurrect my podcast while I'm on spring break. On episde six of Prepare to Turn Right, I summarize the main points you should know about Donald Trump's indictment, including background information, the key legal issues at hand, predictions for the outcome of the trial, the implications of indicting a former president, and the political bias surrounding all of this. I also explain why and how both my opinion of Trump and general attitue toward politics have changed.

On episode five of Prepare to Turn Right, I discuss the FBI's raid of Mar-A-Lago from every angle. This includes technical legal analysis, the response from both sides of the aisle, possible political motivations and biases, a history of FBI misconduct, the raid's implications, and more.

On episode four of Prepare to Turn Right, I take a break from regular news commentary to go through an email from my (liberal) friend Aliyah. Aliyah sent in some counterarguments from episode two, so I decided to do my best to refute them without reading the email beforehand or preparing anything, as if this were a live debate. Topics include abortion and gender theory. Plus, I discuss the debate strategies I use and give advice for your next debate along the way.
