Socialism always fails! But for some reason people still want it.

They should listen to Gloria Alvarez.

She’s a viral influencer from Guatemala who watched parts of Latin America get wrecked by socialism.

Now she says the “moochers and looters” are gaining ground in the USA.

I’m encouraged people like Gloria get it.

I interviewed her last year when she was running for President of Guatemala.

Robert Kennedy Jr recently suspended his presidential campaign.

Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?

Chris Rufo is known as an anti-woke crusader.

Why?

Because as a reporter, Rufo discovered that critical race theory is being taught in schools and that some teachers are forced to take white privilege training.

For covering that, his critics say he’s a villain. The New Yorker even argues he "invented the conflict over critical race theory.”

But Rufo seems to enjoy the criticism, and now he has real power in Florida because Gov. Ron DeSantis made him a trustee of a public university.

In this podcast, I ask Rufo about that, and whether he and DeSantis are “authoritarians.”

Many people today want socialism.

They hate capitalism. They say it hurts the poor.

But that's just not true.

In this podcast, author and historian Johan Norberg explains how capitalism saves lives and why socialism always fails.

Norberg also busts other trending myths like the idea that loneliness is an "epidemic," economic growth is bad, and the widely repeated claim that his home country, Sweden, is a socialist success.

Dave Rubin, host of “The Rubin Report,” used to be a leftist, but now he says progressives are “totalitarian.”

He’s been shouted down when he speaks on college campuses.

“They think I am a right-wing extremist,” Rubin tells me.

He’s even lost friends for his political views.

But Rubin’s show is hugely popular. He rightly recognized that people have an appetite for longer, in-depth interviews.

“If there were more people having honest conversation,” Rubin tells me, "we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.”

Rubin is on to something. We talk about free speech, idenity politics, his change in politics, and more.

Governments spends trillions to fight climate change, but

For saying this, Lomborg has been called "the devil." The Danish government even targeted him for his views on climate change.

"I'm not trying to do something that's immoral," he tells me, "I'm simply trying to make sure that we get it right."

Lomborg says there are better things society should spend money on like maternal and newborn health and improving education.

In this podcast he explains why.

You’ve heard the mantra “safety first.”

Colorado Governor Jared Polis is more pro-freedom than many politicians.

He's a rare democrate who talks about economic freedom and individual liberty.

But I have problems with some things Polis believes.

He wants to force businesses to provide services for gay weddings. He signed universal pre-k, and Colorado lags in school choice.

Polis is also unusual because most Democrats won’t debate ideas with me. He will.

Many people hate Charles Murray.
