New York City elects a Muslim socialist immigrant as mayor. British police give preferential treatment to non-white criminals while arresting white victims as they bleed out on the street. Europe held back Muslim invaders for hundreds of years, but now its major cities are upwards of 10% Muslim.
The left condemns the West while cheering its conquest by Islamic civilization. The question is, which side of the Red-Green alliance is the useful idiot and which holds the real power?

I sat down with education innovator Graham Frey to discuss what school is actually for, how structure and choice should be balanced in a child’s life, and why the "falling behind" framework scares families into staying at failing schools.
We get into:
* The six habits every kid should leave school with
* How standardized test hide the reality of public schools
* The tension between teachers and school bureaucracies
* What school choice offers that zip-code schools don't
* Why Graham thinks kids fundamentally want to learn
* How social pressure manipulates parents into propping up public schools
* The ethics of running education experiments on kids
* Student-directed learning vs. traditional structure
* Why the future of education might be found in abandoned malls
* What AI will and won't change about how kids learn

Elon Musk called artificial intelligence the biggest existential threat in human history. That was 2014. Now it's 2026, the models are writing their own code, data centers are triggering bitter political fights, and Pope Leo just made AI the focus of his first encyclical.
Public sentiment on AI has cratered faster than any technology in memory. College graduates are booing commencement speakers who mention it. Google's I/O ‘26 keynote, focused on its ongoing AI projects, pulled over 8 million views on YouTube but less than 30,000 likes. Meanwhile, a recent Edelman poll found that China is highly enthusiastic about AI adoption, polling at 44% net approval compared to America’s 32% net disapproval.
Job loss, dehumanization, and plain old AI addiction are all crucial issues for Americans to grapple with, but is the revolt against AI pointed in the right direction?

I sat down with political scientist and co-founder of Unified Solutions America Wilfred Reilly to discuss the state of the woke left, the toxic feedback loop between radical feminism and the manosphere, and the ongoing battle over American identity.
We get into:
* The SPLC federal indictment and allegations of funding white supremacist groups
* Why woke isn’t dead and how society keeps moving to the left
* How radical feminism set the stage for the manosphere to thrive
* Why young men and women have stopped getting together
* The “toaster lover problem” and how the internet concentrates fringe behavior
* Why neither the woke left nor the red pill right works for normal people
* The Hamas-Israel conflict and why Reilly says Israel is clearly in the right
* America as Rome and whether we’re heading toward empire
* Race, IQ, and how to have an honest conversation about group differences
* Where Reilly sees human civilization in 100 years

The UN's top climate body just quietly buried the doomsday scenario that drove the past 15 years of climate panic, and almost no one noticed. The IPCC has officially declared RCP 8.5, its most extreme emissions model, implausible. That's the same model behind nearly every apocalyptic headline Gen Z has been reading since grade school.
The damage is already done. A Lancet study of 10,000 young people found that 84% are worried about climate change, 45% feel negatively affected in their daily lives, and nearly four in ten say they're hesitant to have children.
The junk science and the derangement that’s followed didn't spread itself.
