The Brian Eskow Show

Caryn Ann Harlos has been the secretary of the Libertarian National Committee for the last 10 years.

She joined me for a great conversation about the political philosophy and party she loves so much.

It was one of the best discussions I've had in four years of podcasting.

I am so grateful to my new friend Jake Day for joining me on Saturday for a great chat about political philosophy, current events, and whether I've become a blind Trump loyalist.

Friends of the show Herby Kay and Scott Bell joined me to share their unique perspectives on a variety of current events.

Daniel Martinez and I have a lot in common.

He is an attorney who comes from the left but now fully supports Trump.

He joined me yesterday to tell me the story of how the Federalist Society came to dominate the Supreme Court since its founding in the early 1980s.

I know that sounds like I think it's a bad thing the way I wrote it - but I don't and I assure you that both of us tried to approach the story from a neutral perspective.

We are just jurisprudence nerds and wanted to talk about how the court has evolved, that's all.

This conversation was a great follow-up to the one I had on Wednesday with my friend MJ who is also an attorney and a three-time Trump voter.

I should warn you that I took twenty minutes at the beginning of this episode to talk a bit about myself for anyone who may be interested.

Also, Dan and I talked about political identity, psychology, and current events for about forty minutes before we got into the topic at hand — so it's basically an hour before you start to hear the riveting (I think it's riveting) story about SCOTUS.

I hope you like this episode of Searching for Political Identity!

Thank you very much!

MJ Giasullo is an attorney and old friend from New Jersey. He's also a three-time Trump voter and a very bright guy. It was a blast hosting him last night for the first time in three years! We did a postmortem on the Biden presidency and discussed the first two days of Trump’s second term.

Patrick Abbott is a sci-fi author and theologian. I was pleased to host him yesterday to discuss why some people reflexively refer to aliens as demons. This conversation may seem outside of the scope of a podcast called Searching for Political Identity, but for me, it fits in perfectly within the context of thinking outside the box and searching for truth. In the intro, I briefly discussed yesterday's "egg" video and why I have come to believe that humanity has already had contact with extraterrestrials.

Rotimi Adeoye is a passionate and knowledgeable young Democrat who has a lot of experience in DC for his age. Here is our conversation from two weeks ago about the mistakes The Democratic Party made last cycle and the political landscape in general. Did he pull me back to the left? Did I pull him towards Trump? Tune in to find out!

Herby Kay is an autodidact genius Libertarian Zionist Jew who lives in Arizona and happens to have a plan to radically transform American politics called Antipolitism. We had a wide-ranging three-hour conversation about his political philosophy and just about everything else under the sun.

In this episode, I explain critical race theory, argue that the Woke Right exists, and distinguish them from MAGA.

Am I trying to divide MAGA?
