Journalist Douglas Murray and comedian Dave Smith recently appeared on an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast that set the internet ablaze. The two men debated their positions on the wars in Gaza and in Ukraine, but what was really striking was the position Murray took on expertise. Murray has spent the last decade arguing against the expert consensus on immigration in his country, but in the debate, he disqualified any opinion that he did not accept as expert. We'll be reviewing clips from the debate and getting to the core problem of expert consensus in the modern world.

Modern Christians are regularly told that they must be empathetic and accommodating if they want to properly represent their faith, but is this really what God called us to? Pastor Joe Rigney joins me to discuss his new book, "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits," and how emotional blackmail is being used to control Christians while driving them away from true biblical compassion.

For decades, the global liberal economic order has operated on the assumption that nations could stretch supply chains across the world to maximize efficiency and profit — with little risk. A shocking share of goods essential to U.S. national security are produced almost entirely in China — including antibiotics and components used in American military hardware. The idea that a country would rely on semiconductors from its primary geopolitical rival to launch a missile defies basic strategic logic. Yet, that is exactly what the United States has done.

The Trump administration secures a big win after a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that confirmed the president's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent gang members. It's an important victory, but in the aftermath, many have been debating whether or not illegal aliens should receive due process before being removed. We'll also be discussing the pace of deportations and whether the battle over tariffs has overshadowed the immigration issue.

A violent attack at a high school track meet has gained national attention after Karmelo Anthony allegedly stabbed fellow student Austin Metcalf to death. Metcalf's father, Jeff, issued a public statement of forgiveness for Anthony, despite the alleged murderer showing no remorse. Many people have also noted the racial dynamic between Anthony, who is black, and Austin, who was white, but Jeff Metcalf has encouraged the public to ignore this aspect of the attack. Do Christians have a duty to forgive someone who murders their child even if that person does not ask for forgiveness?

In war the battlefield is always changing, but what happens when the mind of the average person becomes the battlefield. Military victories used to hinge on casualties inflicted and territory taken, now control of information can be just as important. YouTuber Charlemagne joins me to discuss the idea of fifth generation warfare and how it impacts conflicts like the one in Ukraine.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has courted controversy by deporting foreign students involved in protests on college campuses. But this begs a larger question: Why are so many American universities dominated by foreign students in the first place? Columnist Adam Johnston joins me to discuss the incentives that drive mass foreign enrollment and what can be done to make educating American citizens the top priority of American universities.

Marine Le Pen has become the most recent right-wing leader to be disqualified for election by judges in her own country, throwing the entire definition of Western liberal democracy into question. In addition, the post-Trump era should have led to massive political correction for the Left, but while some companies and politicians have adjusted their strategy, many others have doubled down on wokeness. YouTuber the Aristocratic Utensil joins me to discuss whether wokeness has been defeated or has only just begun.

Does the process of building a larger centralized national identity destroy the virtues that enable the formation of a republic? Is nationalism the correct vehicle for the concerns of middle-class Americans despite its contradictions? We'll be reading Samuel Francis' essay "Nationalism, Old and New" and seeing how it applies to the modern-day America First movement.

In a better world, people would cultivate virtue and develop habits of right action, practicing them regardless of external pressures. But we don’t live in that world. For most, concepts like honor and morality emerge from community, not individual will. These vital, pro-social behaviors rely on constant reinforcement by others. When daily life consists of anonymous, disconnected interactions, it becomes easier to justify selfishness. But when people must live among and depend on those who observe and remember how they behave, accountability shapes conduct.
