In this episode, I react to Mark Levin and argue that his push for the Iran war hurt Republicans before the midterms. I call Levin hypocritical, since Levin demands party loyalty while canceling dissenters and shielding Israel.

The Librarian of Celaeno joins to discuss a deported evangelical teacher, Samuel Sey, and a fundraiser claiming a paperwork error. They argue it exposes evangelical elites' incoherent mix of liberalism and Christianity, lax school hiring checks, and hypocrisy on immigration, which risks the movement's credibility.

J. Burden and Stormy Waters banter about cars, then argue the auto industry is turning retro and analog. They contrast Porsche's analog Mission S with Ferrari's Luce and Jaguar's rebrand, link the trend to watches and guns, criticize BMW's screens, and predict looser regulation and a retro market.

Joey Oliver joins the show to opine on the week's news: base preparedness headlines, Ilhan Omar's deportation talk, unrest in France and Poland, Obama's Cheesecake Factory joke, Star Wars and Dune, a deported Christian influencer, conservative hypocrisy, midterms, Halloween plans and viewer super chats.

Today I interview Aydin Paladin about her research on "romantasy" smut. We cover its huge sales, who reads it, and why readers want powerful, committed men and blank-slate heroines. The talk then turns to AI companion chatbots, addiction and dissatisfaction, and the widening divide between the sexes.

J. Burden and Andy Edwards discuss the 1990 film Jacob's Ladder. We trace its three interwoven realities: Vietnam, New York, and the family life Jacob lost. They cover its biblical and Buddhist symbolism, the hospital-as-hell sequence, the drug-experiment reveal, and the film's influence on Silent Hill and Slender Man.

Christian Heiens joins the J. Burden Show to trace Virginia's shift from a Republican stronghold to a reliably blue state, blaming federal-government growth, Northern Virginia demographics, and shifting Richmond suburbs. They discuss the managerial-class Democratic Party, the "woke right" divide, generational conflict within conservatism, institutional capture, and tech and traditionalist factions reshaping the right.

J. Burden dissects a Substack exposé on James Lindsay, covering his alleged financial ties to Michael O'Fallon and pro-Israel donors, then reacts to Lindsay's Mark Levin interview. He argues Lindsay's "woke right" attacks are incoherent, since politics, common good, and group identity are unavoidable, and Lindsay's libertarianism looks selectively applied.

Today I interview Bill Buppert, a retired soldier and podcaster, about how cheap drones are now upending warfare. We discuss costly missile defenses losing to inexpensive munitions, flawed US procurement like the M7 rifle, shrinking infantry survivability, hypersonic weapons, vulnerable aircraft carriers, and the declining barrier to dangerous violence worldwide.

In this relaxed happy-hour discussion, J. Burden, Ben Kelleran, and John Carter range across Canadian independence and immigration debates, generational politics, aging institutions, and the changing value of university degrees amid AI. We also discuss political strategy, media controversies, international conflicts, drone technology, and how accessible new weapons could reshape warfare and political power.

Cody Justice, a publisher, writer, and head of Sacra Press, joins the show to talk through a speech he gave to an assembly of men in western North Carolina. They discuss "blood, soil, and faith": the case that particular local and ethnic identities fit with Christianity, objections drawn from Scripture, critiques of liberalism and "regime Christianity," and whether American identity can stay Christian.

Will Tanner discusses France's riots, arguing Western states have lost the will to enforce order since the 1960s. We compare Detroit, Thatcher's miners, and Bukele's El Salvador; we link disorder to suburban flight, gun culture, and elites' discomfort with violence.

Thomas777 returns to recount the January 6 pipe-bomb investigation, arguing that inconsistencies in the reported devices, surveillance footage, and security response raise questions about the official narrative. T777 discusses journalist Steve Baker’s research and contends that the man later accused of the bombing does not match the person seen in the available footage.
