Bridget sits down with conservative commentator and political pundit Kira Davis to talk about why she thinks it's time to bring back shame, decorum, and "Karens." They discuss the Major League Baseball Pride Month controversy, why California's election system is built to erode trust in democracy, why influencers don’t actually affect elections, the Gavin Newsom scandal Kira believes is about to blow up, and her predictions for the GOP and Democrat 2028 fields. They cover dealing with TDS from family members, inspiring people to love America again, and why we should be renormalizing normal — saying grace in public, flying flags, calling out bad behavior — because it is the only way to actually shift the culture.

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Luke Burgis to discuss his new book, The One and the 99: Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion. They explore one of the most uncomfortable ideas in modern thought: that we don't actually know what we want — we copy the desires of others. They discuss why tribalism is surging even as loneliness is rising, the longterm effects of turning everything - even religion - into “content”. They share a variety of stories from attending seminary to winding up at an ashram cult, analyze the Gen Z stare, and talk about what it means to be a real person in an increasingly mediated world.

Bridget sits down with Xi Van Fleet, author of Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat. Xi is a survivor of China's Cultural Revolution and traces the eerie parallels between Mao's revolution and today's woke ideology. She draws on her own experience — growing up under the CCP, enduring re-education in the countryside, and eventually escaping to America — to argue that cultural Marxism is not a foreign threat but a homegrown one, and that American elites have been enabling the CCP's rise since the 1920s. They dig into the difference between economic communism and cultural Marxism, the red-green alliance between the Left and Islamism, how political correctness becomes speech control and eventually control of the mind, China's bot farms and information warfare operations, the social credit creep in the United States, why the enemy within is far more dangerous than the one overseas, why studying American history might be what saves us, and Xi’s assertion that Communism is a virus that has killed hundreds of millions of people, it won’t disappear, and it always needs to be fought against.

Bridget sits down with Batya Ungar-Sargon — journalist, author, and deputy opinion editor at Newsweek — for a wide-ranging conversation about her new book, The Jews and The Left, about American Jewish history and the political realignment happening in real time. They dig into how Jews became so deeply identified with the Democratic Party, why October 7th forced a reckoning for secular Jews who had barely thought about their identity in decades, and what it means that the loudest antisemitism right now is coming from the Left rather than the Right. They cover losing media opportunities for refusing to go along with the anti-Israel consensus, how when non-Jews stand up for Jews there’s such a relief to it, and why Batya thinks America still loves its Jews.

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Courtney O’Dell, food blogger and creator behind Sweet C’s Designs, to dig into the viral DoorDash discourse that exploded online and ask the obvious question: how did we end up with a generation that genuinely doesn’t know how to feed itself? They get into why convenience culture has replaced basic life skills with helplessness, what food blogging actually looks like as a career, how AI is changing the industry, and why the simple act of cooking dinner might be one of the most underrated forms of self-sufficiency left. They also cover favorite recipes, favorite cookbooks, secret food vices, the GLP-1 weight loss trend, how to start learning to cook if you never have, underrated places to travel, and the truth about canning food.

Bridget sits down with Jonathan Alpert, therapist and author of Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It’s Left Us More Anxious and Divided, to dig into something most mental health professionals won’t say out loud - that the therapy industry may be making people worse, not better. They cover how therapists are trained to validate rather than challenge, why the explosion of diagnoses tracks more with social media trends than actual illness, and how therapy culture has quietly become one of the most divisive forces in American life. They also discuss political bias in the consulting room, therapists coming between parents and their kids, how to tell the difference between good therapy and bad therapy, and how Jonathan was nearly de-licensed for an op-ed he wrote in the New York Times in 2012 arguing that if therapy isn’t working, you should probably leave. He still believes it — more than ever.

Bridget sits down with Noah Rothman, senior editor at National Review and author of Blood And Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America, to trace the long, suppressed history of radical left-wing political violence in the United States — from the anarchist bombings of the 1920s to the Weather Underground to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Noah argues that this history isn't obscure, it's deliberately buried, and that the same patterns driving today's wave of violence have shown up in 50-year cycles throughout American history. They also get into why 9/11 inadvertently put the brakes on a bombing campaign that might otherwise still be ongoing — and what that tells us about how close to the edge we actually are.

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Adam Louis-Klein, anthropologist and founder of the Movement Against Antizionism (MAAZ), to examine why the word "antisemitism" has stopped working — and what language we actually need to name and confront the Israel hatred spreading across campuses, media, and institutions. Klein traces antizionism from its roots in Nazi and Soviet propaganda through its capture of Western academia, explains how it functions as a libel machine resistant to any counterevidence, and lays out why defeating it — not just defending Israel — is the only path to peace. Bridget brings her own experience of being labeled a Zionist, the collapse of trust in institutions, and what ordinary people can actually do.

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Freya India, British writer and author of Girls: Generation Z and the Commodification of Everything, to dig into why Gen Z women are struggling in ways previous generations didn't. They discuss why it's not simply a case of kids being soft, and how the mental health crisis among young women isn't just about bad parenting or weak foundations, but predatory industries stepping into the vacuum left by family breakdown, community loss, and the decline of religion — and selling girls a simulation of everything they lost. They cover the over-medicalization of normal teenage behavior, the saturation of therapeutic language into everything, the porn industry's formative role in shaping Gen Z's understanding of relationships, and why the answer probably isn't age verification or government intervention.

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Scott Lincicome, Vice President of General Economics and Trade at the Cato Institute, to unpack what Trump's tariffs have actually done to the American economy. They dig into why the apocalyptic predictions didn't pan out, who's really paying the price, and how small businesses got blindsided by customs bills they never saw coming. They discuss the history of US protectionism, the difference between stated and revealed preferences, the truth about "buying American," what modern conservatism actually looks like today, and why Americans actually love globalization even though they might not realize it.
